The Football.....

[StuAff]

Palace is always a lively crowd and atmosphere.Up there near the top. Out of the north east clubs, Sunderland was always the most lively.
Stoke fans cause a right old noise too. Pompey was always ok apart from the twat with the bell.
Chelsea, before seating was a noisy old bowl. Since seating, nowhere near. Great shame.

Oh yes, dear old John Westwood…PITA!

I'll raise your 'enjoy' to this: just in case you forgot.

That 1967 game at Wembley was probably the nearest Scotland came (in the trophy cabinet) to the cup.

I was at Wembley when England won 9-3!!

Just saying!

Scotland's goalkeeper was Frank Haffey. The joke going round afterwards was, "What's the time? Nine past Haffey".

Wonder what the odds are for Tottenham to win the PL!

6 zillion to 1

I hadn't placed a bet on football for a good while until this week; so far I have placed 5 bets and every one of them has been let down by one nobber team or game and usually the one which is "odds on" - twats.

Marmy! If you've got a spare quid, Ian's offering good odds.

Could have done with Chelsea winning today, as it might have given the Toffees a faint hope of coming above 7th, and an even fainter hope of CL qualification, but fair play to Utd, they were a team possessed, and made Chelsea look like a team struggling for survival rather than the league's pace setters. Great game.

Chelsea were shyte but it wasn't helped by Mourinho successfully getting his team to nibble Costa constantly especially Rojo, and Costa had one of those games where he let it get to him effecting his play. Chelsea passing was also woeful at times. And the less said about the handball the better. The refereeing was a joke.
But...I woke up this morning to see that the Blues are still top of the table.

You've got the easier run in out of you and spurts so I'm sure you'll be fine. Has made the run in a bit more interesting though. Utd have never been in the title race so I've switched my attentions to everyone beating The Gooners just so my social media feeds are littered with clips from Arsenal fan tv the following day

It's tragic on every level but so entertaining.

Pompey will be back in League One next season after four seasons in Two. They won, Luton (4th) drew so automatic promotion secured. Hurrah!
