I've had one person come at me with a knife (of the standard kitchen variety) and she was a white female in her sixties, if we're going with demographics. (i worked on a hospital ward, i should clarify that here!) I legged it out of the room quick smart, shut the door and held it shut, and my...

Away fans are fine if they're from small northern/midlands clubs, but nobody big or from london aside from nice benign clubs. No: Spurs, arsenal, chelsea, west ham, Palace, Man Utd, City perhaps, Liverpool, and occasional cup fixtures like Portsmouth, Millwall etc Yes: pretty much everyone...

Carlton losing a narrow one - its so bloody tight up there, consecutive defeats could see anyone apart from sydney all of a sudden in sitting ninth!

There's a fascinating softening of the religious boundaries in the northern counties, traditionally the Gaelic games have been played by the catholic population and the protestants tended towards football and rugby instead (Some apocryphal stories about young kids carrying hurleys being shot by...

Hawthorn are quietly putting together a very decent team, i think in 2-3 years they'll be right up there again. (annoying, they've been good far more than they've been rubbish in the 25-odd years i've been following the game, that's not how its meant to work in these days of equalisation!)

Yeah, i think the injuries and the season has got to the pies a bit - you can typically expect a bit of drop-off after winning a flag, but that wave of momentum they've been so brilliant at maintaining over the last two and a half seasons has finally petered out. Good things do come to an end...

No, absolutely you're right, its not an away end - its a cup final, sit where your seats are and to hell with the scumbag arguments!

keep it really tight, im going to run home and hopefully catch the last 15

Weirdly, i was at Germany 1-5 England in 2001. Now i'm no England fan at all, but my pal was intending on going to this match, and tacked on a few days in Amsterdam on the way - so when i heard of this holiday, Amsterdam followed by Munich, i was right aboard. It was a magnificent week away...

hmmm, bit disappointed with Essendon beating the pies this morning - not that i like the pies, i dont! its just that i dislike essendon more, and i've been predicting their downfall for aaaages and theyre still sticking around despite being utter frauds :LOL:

Oh yes, a cheeky little bit of sexy Freo action late morning, im absolutely there for it! Saw the last ten mins of the Freo/swannies match in my tent at glastonbury, early kickoffs are good for streaming from a cosy bed - and just about scraped a wonderful victory. Obvs the Swannies are the best...

returned to worm :LOL: i tell you what, as typos go thats searingly insightful

My first glastonbury was 2005, and i rushed around like a madman ticking bands off - nowadays (the festival just gone was my tenth) ill line up 2-3 bands a day, and otherwise wander about and stop when i see something i like the look or sound of. Lots of cabaret and circus, lots of southeast...

Would love an Oilers win, just because Canada, innit? its been soooo bloody long since a canadian team won it, and if my own delightful canadiens arent going to, i'd like any other canadian team. (apart from the maple leafs, obvs . . . )

The Essendon v Carlton game on sunday morning with a nice late kickoff (late for them, delightfully midmorning for us) will be my watch with Freo being on a bye week :thumbsup: Cannot stand Essendon at all, absolute bunch of pricks, and looking forward to their inevitable slide down the table...

Danny Brown vs PJ Harvey is irking me something chronic, that'll have to go on vibes at the time, and Orbital vs LTJ Bukem ffs - what am i meant to do there?i wanna see both! Theres a comedian on the cabaret at 10pm sunday and thats when Justice are on, but i have seen them before so aren't...

Been nosing through it, but don't want to get too listy and organised, cos i'll have to work at least one shift during the music days and i don't want to be gutted at missing out on stuff! Some great stuff to see though, as per usual . . .

I was at a festival last weekend (Bearded Theory, very muddy but very recommended!) so missed the Freo/Pies game - my mate was texting me increasingly frenzied updates while i was stewarding up a 30ft fire tower, it was all very biblical! bit different this week, with a 4am start and a sofa...

There's nothing more boring than the 'who's a bigger club?' debate. Everyone has different criteria and it doesnt matter a jot. Who do you care more about? They're the bigger club. Stadium capacity, years in the top flight, trophies, whatever. . .

ffs man, we need a downvote button on here :p
