The Football thread

[NE21 worrier]

Hi folks,

I thought I would start a football chat thread for anyone interested in the game as I know from some of my threads on the General board that we have a few fans on here.

Personally, I'm a long-suffering Newcastle fan from Blaydon (as in the 'Blaydon Races') who looks set to suffer for another 10 months given the start we've made and the blokes in charge at the top.

Anyway, this thread could be used to comment on matches you've watched or even been to, or just to have rant about the back-page issues of the day. Also, it's the World Cup at the end of the season when a few more of the UK population take their one-in-four-years look at the national team... though that's only if the useless b*ggers make it.

Needless to say, I'm sure the NMP admin don't want anything too inflammatory between rival supporters but I don't suspect that will be a problem as it is not really the atmosphere on these boards anyway.

Happy posting,
Peter

I think as long as we keep the Stone Island off the thread it should be nice an peaceful !

Stone Island so 90's!!

I'm a long suffering Barnsley fan and this season couldn't have started any worse. Praying that things turn around and sharpish

My team are unbeaten..... Amazing after 2 games..... Southampton by the way.... Been a fan all my life through thick & thin. We are watching the Man U v Chelsea game now.

I am hoping for a Man U/Chelsea draw

I had to look stone island up, I didn't have a clue what it was...... Obviously I have lead a sheltered life.....

You got your wish, Annie - and, if you didn't catch the game, you didn't miss much. Totally cancelled each other out.

Yes, Tessar - Saints have begun well, and have been a breath of fresh air in terms of style of play since your PL return. So many memories of Le Tiss from growing up in the 90s...

with you a Newcastle Fan not always easy!
