I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the league.

Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.
David Beckham

I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George (Ndah) had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing.

Very funny- its weird to think that some of the highest paid people in England and indeed the world have so few brain cells between them. Bodes well for the rest of humanity doesn't it? Mx

Sween · 11-25-2002, 08:40 AM

oh bless them they are a clever bunch footballers arnt they

Duddun · 11-25-2002, 11:01 AM

Those were funny, its the same with all other sports too.

***IronParrot*** · 11-25-2002, 08:14 PM

That's hilarious!

Oh well... I don't care if they're ignorant as long as they play good football and entertain me.

Aeryn · 11-25-2002, 11:44 PM

That was funny, but they weren't REAL Football players. Brett Favre is a REAL football player, yours are just some namby pamby bunch of soccer players!

Duddun · 11-26-2002, 12:09 AM

Sorry, Aeryn you live in the only country that doesn't call soccer football.(I live there too)

Actually I'd tend to agree on the namby pamby aspect!

But as my sport was rugby league where you stay on the pitch for the full 80 minutes, attack and defence, and don't wear armour, I don't have a much higher opinion of American footballers to be honest!

Miranda · 11-26-2002, 09:08 AM

Football!!! Rugby!!!!! SPORT IN GENERAL!!!!!!! I just don't get it man- loads of men running around in shorts making pratts of themselves? I'd rather watch a group of Uruk-hai chasing the Fellowship around Amon Hen!!!!!! Mx

Claenoic · 11-26-2002, 02:02 PM

Or Rohirrim slaughtering Orcs on the Pelennor... imagine...

I quote, from a famed football/soccer (soccer for me) player, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!"

Celandine · 02-17-2003, 08:48 PM

I quote, from a famed football/soccer (soccer for me) player, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!" __________________ Very Biased Alternate Script (but it's funny!):Click here! FREAK RAIN!!!!!!!! O.o Queen of prolonged unexplained absences and long, loooong car rides. Well, hullo everyone. As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers!
