My mate was sat in the Orient end for the Forest game on Saturday having to pretend not to be excited when Forest scored...

I love Forest, but know that they will be beaten by Yovil unless they get up automatically - they're so bad at play-offs.
Plus, when I watch them at the moment, I feel insulted that they are called footballers and sportsmen - I feel like I could actually give half the team a game at the moment, the fat bastards!
Here's to a great saturday of watching the results roll in!

And, fingers crossed, City putting a clonking spanner in the works for United. Unlikely, I agree, but you never know with Manchester derbys...Posts: 1696

because they are racist - think they are a big club and should have gone bust years ago after over spending and forward managing with money they hoped to win...
Oh shit, I've just described 68 of the professional teams in England...
And wasted post 2000...
Damn.
I will write a good post, a little story, for post 2001 - honest.

because of the seventies. and people not forgetting them thanks to match of the 70s. basically, don revie = really cynical billy bremner = dirty bastard norman hunter = extreme **** .
people forget, leeds have been down before and got back up again. this incarnation of leeds was shackled by peter risdale. then dennis wise as manager.
7 years ago leeds were ace. full stop. still dirty leeds.
i didn't wish adminstration and death upon spit forest spit. i won't be wishing it on leeds either.

Leeds fans constantly 'taunting' Manchester United fans by making airplane gestures with their arms whilst chanting 'songs' about the ill-fated Munich air disaster in 1958 doesn't help their cause.
ETA: Of course, many City fans also do this, although I'm not one of them.

Little bit of both. Some of the players who have all moved on now, were involved in the student bashing case a few years back.
doc d - part of me actually wants a team, any team, even Forest, to go bust - part of me hates the romantic plucky crap about football that the businessmen push to the supporters when it suits them, and then the business crap again when it suits them.

that's lee bowyer and village idiot woodgate.
lets not forget that john terry was involved in the 9/11 drunken escapades but that isn't labelled on the club.
get over it. leeds are no worse than any other club. and certainly better than lazio.

I'm not under it, doc - I don't like Dennis Wise, hence my initial good for them going down - the next post mentioned that all football teams are guilty of what I said Leeds are scum for, and the racist thing was a direct answer to a question after that second post.
basically, I don't like Wise as a person/taxi driver assulter.

Can't say I do, no. The goal (2nd?) that Man U scored against Roma in the route was one of the most beautiful goals I've seen, seven or so 1st touch passes that went from one end of the pitch to the other, and was capped by a beautifully taken goal. Kaka looked great last week, but Rooney was great, and Giggs has been outstanding this year. May football be the winner...

Bye bye Man Utd - shame I didn't see the game but my pager went off, and now I sit in the office waiting to see if what I was called in to check will work. Half an hour - my arse. Still at least the pressing of F5 and watching the goals come in almost cracked a smile on my over-exhausted body.
Now, West Ham to turn Bolton over at the weekend and I will be d-leer-e-ous. I wonder with the departure of Sam, and maybe even the insistance from their sponsors to ease up if we'll be given an easier ride (We use Reebok shirts as well see).
Of course what would be supersmashinggreat is last day of the season, Man united dejected by their stuffing tonight if the Hammers turn them over, and give Chelsea the title. Impossible? Not really - of the handful of teams we have beaten this year, Man United were one of them.
But I still have to consider we are not safe yet. I know Wigan appear to be in freefall, and Fulham have two tough clashes (Liverpool at home then away to Middlesborough), if we can manage one win from the 2, or even possibly 2 draws, we might be ok, but with the opposition we are facing, its a mighty tall order - Goal difference is irrlevant really, as we have to make up 6 on Wigan supposing both teams get no more points.
Still at least its been a thrilling season - right to the wire

Barnsley are staying up. In the Championship. That's nice. What with Leeds probably going down n'all. Although if Hull went down that would be ok too.

Yeah, they were well and truly battered from start to finish. I was watching the game in my local boozer, which is a 'red pub'. Found it very difficult to keep my face straight after Milan's second goal, and impossible after their third. Only problem is: City are probably going to bear the brunt of a very charged-up United side on Saturday...
Milan will destroy the scousers if they perform as strongly as they did last night. No doubt about it in my mind. Very impressive.

Agreed. The second goal was pathetic - what was Hienze thinking? Vidic was not match fit, and Giggs went AWOL.
Milan were awsome, first half they pressed constantly, their midfield ran the game, and they didn't give man u a sniff. The match was spoiled by terrible camera work and directing - close up of Ronaldo's leg while the ball is in play in the penalty box? Sure. Frame the shot so that the player on the ball isn't even in shot for large chunks? Why not.

I'll bet you didn't have to endure the Arabic channel's showing though. Jesus-fucking-christ. We ended up asking the tight-arsed landlord to turn the volume off, due to the horrific 'commentary'. At least you got to see Sky's offering!

Just saw this mart. These aren't my words but it sums it up pretty well from a Bournemouth point of view.
quote:Let's take us back to the 5th May 1990. The last day of the football league season and it's the Saturday of a sunny bank holiday weekend in Bournemouth. Today's the day of a particularly big game in the old Division two (what is now the Championship): Bournemouth (who will be relegated if they lose and Middlesborough win, which is likely because Boro are playing Newcastle and several brown envelopes have been exchanged) are playing Leeds (who must win to be promoted).
On any other day, this could have been a great match, two teams with a lot to play for, a sold out stadium on a sunny day by the seaside. Unfortunately, the away team that day were Leeds. The Leeds fans started the weekend with a bit of a riot in the town centre. Loads of people who've nothing to do with the football got beaten shiitless, loads of businesses in the town suffered massive criminal damage.
Then there was the match day. Unfortunately, Leeds had more fans than tickets. Normally, this would mean that the excess away fans would sit in a pub and watch the scores come up, but as I say, the away team this day was Leeds. Some ticketless "fans" beat up OAPs for their season tickets (several of whom ended up in hospital with their injuries). Others beat up stewards trying to get in without. Meanwhile, bricks were thrown at kids playing football in the park. I know a girl with brain damage, she was 14 when she was hit in the back of the head by a brick. The bournemouth players were roughed up on their way into the ground and told in no uncertain terms that if they played to win then they and their families would suffer the consequences.
Of course Bournemouth lost. A combination of a scared team and fans of all ages who were more concerned about getting home alive than enjoying the match meant that a straightforward 2-0 victory was enjoyed by the scum.
And since then, have Leeds appologied? Have they offered any compensation for the financial and emotional damaged cause to our town, fans and club? Have they boll ocks. They remain, to this day, the most vile racist bunch of thugs that English football is unfortunate enough to have. And as Bowyer and Woodgate amongst others have demonstrated, that goes for the players as well as the "fans".
Administration would be too good for them, it doesn't even come close. I should add, before anyone takes me to task for this, that I fortunately wasn't there that day. But I know more than enough people who were, people like the abovementioned brain-damaged girl, people in their mid twenties who've not played football since they were kicked off their parks at the age of 12 by hooligans and people whose grandparents won't go to games again because they took a punch for having the nerve to have a season ticket.
Plus I was also sat in a pub when Leeds came to Brighton and when some of the leeds fans saw people in Brighton shirts in the pub they picked up the chairs from outside and threw them through the windows. All pubs around the station closed the time after that when Leeds came down.
