OT: Association Football

[Suitman]

Craven Cottage what a stadium.

Great mix of heritage and the new modern facilities with the riverside stand on the other side.

It fits 28k and is perfect for a club like Fulham.

My daughter has tickets for Fulham's game there vs Wolves in November.
It was one of the few games that she and her boyfriend were able to get tickets to without paying an absolute bomb. By that, I mean without paying hundreds of pounds for a ticket.
She follows Newcastle United like me, and her boyfriend is a Man U fan.
They just wanted to go to a PL game while they are there, so Fulham it is.

I am going to Fulham v West Ham in 2 weeks at Craven Cottage.

Can't wait tomorrow at Old Trafford between Man U and Liverpool and the atmosphere there.

Reckon it will be $1150 well spent even though I don't like either team.

I rest my case.
Paying over $1000 to watch a football match is obscene. My daughter and her boyfriend just can't do that.

You reckon the atmosphere will be great? Lol. Maybe, if it's close.
I've been to dozens of matches in England. The claimed atmosphere there is seriously overrated.
The best games I've attended have been between lower tier teams.
And the even better match atmosphere's have been Sydney A-
League derbys.

Wow, big call.

So the $1150 us lads have paid for is a corporate suite with 3 hours booze before hand.

The group of 10 there are 4 Liverpool fans and its happened to be at manchester this weekend as the wedding is on Tuesday we are over here for.

So if Liverpool played Brentford I wouldn't have gone.

But Man U v Liverpool in a corporate box was too hard to not pass up. Once in a lifetime experience.

The Socceroos attack is seriously insipid. Passing is really f**ken slow. Easily the worst I’ve seen Yengi play

That’s because you didn’t get into the spirit of English football



E’s only a poor little Hammer

 

[84 Baby]

Bahrain can get f**ked

 

[84 Baby]

f**ken cheats

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This is the first Socceroos game my boy has seen. He is disgusted at the theatrics.

 

[84 Baby]

The injury time is going to be longer than a regular half

Sorry “injury” time

 

[84 Baby]

f**ken bunch of cheats

 

[the phantom menace]

Embarrassing. And underneath that a pretty impotent effort from the Aussies.

 

[84 Baby]

f**ken woeful game all round. Have any of the Socceroos been playing regularly? Looked as sharp as I do after 6 months off. Even the players I like were shit. And a middle of Irvine, O’Neill & Metcalfe isn’t scaring anyone but me watching it

 

[the phantom menace]

Thoughts... Past it and looking for a paid holiday, still a class above for A-League, or somewhere inbetween?

Ex-Chelsea, Manchester United star signs with Western Sydney Wanderers

[Twizzle]

good signing considering its the A League

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He’s younger than ADP was when he joined the A League.

 

[84 Baby]

But is he down with ADP?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah you know me
