OT: Association Football

[Suitman]

f**k off Bart.
Seriously, I don't wish to discuss anything with you anymore.

It was great to attempt to have an on topic discussion with you in the soccer thread Suity.

I look forward to your contributions about future Socceroos matches...

 

[Suitman]

For someone who despises A League and Wanderers so much - you seem to keep a pretty close watch on what is going on. If I don't like something I generally couldn't give a toss about it and avoid it but each to their own.

My invitation for you to contribute on topic - instead of continuing to bitch and moan - still stands.

I'll ask you directly - did you enjoy the Socceroos match Suity? Do you think they're shaping up well in the quest to qualify?

 

[forward pass]

Good for you, and as you said, each to their own...

You seem to keep a pretty close watch on what I post about, rather than not giving a toss about it... but it seems you're not alone here in that obsession.

I remember the days when people on here discussed, debated and respectfully disagreed topics, rather than go out of their way to post personal statements to/about other posters, as you appear to have just done.

It's a shame to have witnessed the general increase of "playing the man" rather than each to their own over the years. Imo that is the factor that has taken this forum away from the days (as some have recently described) when everyone here was friends.

Rant over. Looking forward to your next out of the blue personally directed contribution...

Not being personal mate - just trying to understand why you would enter a soccer thread only with the intention of bagging the game? I find that strange that's all. But as I said - whatever floats your boat. You get a kick out of it so good on you.

I enjoy watching international quality matches, and matches in higher quality leagues. I don't only enter to bag the game and I don't hate soccer... far from it. I came into this thread tonight to discuss the Socceroo qualifier against Iraq, and so far I'm the only one who's made any comment about it!

So I'll give you the same chance FP to make an on topic comment FP, rather than add to the posts only directed at/about another poster...

Nice win last night but geez Iraq's defense was utter shit.

 

[phantom eel]

We face UAE next week, who have just defeated Japan. That could be a big test for us.

I am slightly concerned. I don't think it is the strongest squad we have ever put together and we need Rogic to step up every game. But having said that - the Socceroos always seem to surprise me. Tough game next up.

Weather for Abu Dhabi next Tuesday is 43°, however the good news is that it will drop to 36° by 7:30pm kickoff.

Looking forward to the new season Suity. The derby should be a cracker with a huge crowd.

 

[Gronk]

Merkins I'm in London over Xmas / NY. What's the chances of getting tix for a EPL (or lower I guess) game and how do you do it ?

From the the looks of things London clubs are Chelsea, West Ham, Spurs, Arsenal, Fulham, Millwall which I could get to from the West End.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Middlesbrough is in London too mate. Book your tickets ASAP!

 

[Twizzle]

Book them early

Fulham and Millwall are in the Championship (second div)

Um no it's not. Knob.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah it's in the middle of London. Hence the name.

Yes I am indeed. Very excited about the derby already. I'd be a bit disappointed if we don't get more than 50 000.
Who would have ever thunk it for a local football game 10 years ago, eh?
Sorry I didn't see this post earlier but this thread gets contaminated occasionally so I tend to ignore it at times.

Your best bet is probably finding a ticket at the biggest (60,000) London stadiums - a West Ham or Arsenal game if they are playing at home.
