The Footie Thread

[Swango1980]

Listen soft lad, you clearly havent got a clue what you're on about again. You have 3-4 posts on every page, and constantly show you havent got a clue.

Liverpool had a ballot based on previous attendance at a few of the games, whereas City offered 4 tickets to anyone. The people in the ballot would have had to be season ticket holders or had to have gone to a few previous games.

Whats your West ham affiliation - weren't you saying the other day that you would turn down some tickets for a QF, but would go to a SF or something?

You are the absolute worst footy fan - all over social media day in day out, hardly ever go the game, but first to sniff tickets out in the good times.

You're a disgrace, as well as clueless.

Clueless

Just a few highlights from your post to potentially make it a candidate for the most directly insulting post to another forumer?

Was it deserved or accurate? Not so sure, unless it really has become a thing now where some fans can be labelled in such a way simply because they don't go to many games.

Maybe some of the "best" type of fans should stop worrying about telling everyone else how bad a fan they are, and just focus on the actual football

I was bored and going through my emails

Since I gave up my season ticket (second time round, had it from 2002-2006) in 2013 when we had returned to the premier League .. so 3 of my 5 seasons were in the championship (real good time ticket hunter)

Most of the games I've been to are fa cup, League cup and Europa qualifiers . (First few rounds)

Few away games thrown in for good measure (arsenal, Ipswich, west brom, Burnley and Peterborough)

Remarkable all those big games

Now this year I have turned down a lot of offer of tickets for 2 simple reasons .. covid and my kids .. is it far on the wife to bugger off to west ham and leave the kids with her? Where as the biggest game in our history she told me I should go when will it happen again.. . I turned down Burnley at home today .. simply because it Easter, and My twins have covid.

But I'm an awful fan ?

Infact the week before covid my cousin reminded me (she is arsenal) that we borrowed a season ticket off my mum's cousin and went to arsenal west ham .. 7th march 2020.. just before the world changed forever ..

But then some people don't seem to remember this covid thing

Where are all the Citeh fans?

Having just watched MotD my thoughts are with @Piece . Into injury time, Watford hit the post, miss the sitter of a rebound and Brentford go up the other end and score. When it's not going your way...............absolute sickener

Probably tired after all that singing through a minutes silence, infact it was the loudest they'd been all day.

Fingers crossed Burnley can hang on to their lead but not expecting them to ?

Sadly it was all too predictable as most fans called the Brentford winner before it actually happened. Gallows humour brought to life as we laughed just after they scored ?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Dull game at Newcastle but cracking goal to finish. My son was particularly happy. Following the last minute winner, bruno took off his shirt ?‍, got booked for it, thus completing his bizarre accumulator of things to happen during the match. A combination of goals scored, corners and bookings. This is all very weird now.

Big relief, for Everton, that West Ham got a draw. We don't need any sort of bounce at Burnley.

Totally. Why though, just why? He was through with just one defender level with him. Why wouldn't you want to go on and trust yourself?

Excellent to see! And pretty reasonable justice.
Simulation in Football is detestable!

I don't think he fancied his chances after his nudge went a bit far, so opted for the 'other' option.

Right am back ?

First and foremost, congrats to Liverpool.Deserved from what Ave read. Two things from the game, One that bogged me off. One that had me scratching my head. City fans dissing the minutes silence and the Stefan bollock dropped Mane goal.
1, the non minutes silence from some City fans. Disgusted and they don’t represent me of the majority of City fans I know.
2, I watched the Stefan clanger, stroke Mane genius and for me it was a nailed on goal. It was a good challenge/ Tackle. Yet at one point Mane had both feet off the ground For the challenge. Even if just for a split second. I did not think at one point Mane lost control of what he did. So why did the goal stand.
season is getting interesting ??

The thing is, ignoring the weak mentality of a player at that level who didn't fancy his chance there, var would rule out any penalty anyway? You can trick the ref, not this time, but the cameras would pick up the dive and over rule it ultimately.

Anyway, he got caught out, well done the ref.

I haven't seen the incident but isn't it a fact that VAR are less willing to overrule the ref's decision so if you manage to fool the ref and get the decision in your favour then it's less likely to be overturned?

Maybe stay off posting 10 times a day on this thread and give the time back that way, become a member at West ham and go to some league games, just a few instead of getting credits for cup games only in case they get to a final?????

BTW, we've also had Covid in the north, you know, typical London mentality.

Chat footy all you want as a telly clapper, but you've shown that you havent got a clue about other clubs support, ticketing, fan base, travel etc.

Hope the kids get better, quick.

I've got another list for you:-

10 posts a day about footy, mostly forgettable.
Full on telly clapper platinum membership status.
Full on glory hunter / glory club follower.....at least years ago.

Get a room.

Get a room?

Apologies, with humour like that, you've highlighted your legendary status.

We'll all bow down to you as the best type of fan, most of us are not worthy.

Although, maybe the best types of fans are the worst type of people, going by your example.

P.S. it is good to see you have remembered his 10 forgettable posts per day to manage to keep count

One of the better semi-finals I've seen.

I think Jurgen playing Naby lad and Thiago meant he went with midfielders who were happy to turn on the ball or play square and forward passes more which gave us a stability in midfield that we havent always shown against city. It helped us to beat the press better and get on the attack, then. Fernandinho lucky to stay on, again. Thankfully we hung on, as a great fightback from City although should have made it 4 at the death.

I still can't see us doing all 4, but its going to be a roller coaster of a finish.

I've been there when City fans have impeccably kept a minutes silence for Hillsborough before, but like some Chelsea fans, it seems to be that when rivalries get to the sharper end, a sizeable minority just can't show respect. I think that minutes applause are the way forward, as doesnt give oxygen to the dickheads then.

Yes but you fail to realise that people are avoiding going places because of covid still

My last game (league aswell) 7th march 2020 just before covid

I haven't been to a game since. Part due to family part due to not comfortable with going often to crowds of that size

Surely you can understand that no?

As a neutral, the City v L'pool was the better for me, though this was pretty good too. PL seems to have significantly more quality than a few years ago, which may be why the performances in Europe.
