My cricket daft nan told me that the Sussex and Surrey rivalry started in that sport, amongst the two oldest cricketing counties, certainly well before it happened in football. It split families in two, including ours, she was born in Surrey and followed their fortunes whilst her dad was Sussex...
Not at all in my humble opinion, I might suggest that you never speak with her again and delete her from your memory, she is not worthy of your friendship.
I have to say that having seen the majority of the Leeds game online, not having seen the Albion play for several seasons, I cannot remember us having a team that played with such skill, quality or desire. This really has to be considered a golden age for the Albion, possibly the dawn of...
Had a discussion about this very subject today, one person made a very good case for Cavendish but the problem is that cycling can hardly be considered a mainstream sport, regardless of his remarkable achievements. My favourite is Farah, but I like athletics and can appreciate the dedication...
Very true, my only worries are things like, will it be cold, can I park my car somewhere safe or am I going to get to half-time and wish I was somewhere else. Years ago the concerns were more linked to personal safety, or in the case of a game at Anderlecht, whether I was going to get trampled...
I lost my voice after a game at Sheff Utd a few years back, took until around Wednesday before I was capable of anything more than a passable frog impression...many people thought that a good thing!
So is Cheltenham, went there for a pre-season friendly and sat in the main stand...when I sat down I took the skin off my right knee...nice!
The away end (side) at Rotherham was just as bad, it was physically impossible for me to sit in the seat provided so I ended up sat on the end of it in...
Hands up if you have ever been in the home end at an away game as an Albion fan.
I did it at Swindon in the play-off Semi-Final first leg. I was rumbled by several Swindon fans sat around me, not because I took the mickey but because I didn't get behind the home team when they were attacking...
Maybe not quite obscure enough for some on here but I loved 'todo sobre mi madre' (all about my mother), by Pedro Almodovar, a beautifully made film that has just about everything...a death in the first few minutes, a pregnant nun, transvestite prostitute and a lesbian actress! Beautifully...
That is the old badge, this is the new one:
This could probably qualify for the worst football badge section, it bears a passing resemblance to the Gloucester Rugby Club badge and is probably more suitable for a city corporation than a football club. The chairman seems to think that it...
I always put on the lifejacket if the flight is going over a large expanse of water. Whenever a plane crashes into the sea the first thing they seem to find is lifejackets, I reckon that my chances of survival will be increased if I am already attached to one!
