English Football

[Robert HM]

It has been noticed that the woadish peeps from above the Roman Wall have been going on and on, and even on again, about the various football clubs in the the Northern Colony (thanks for the quote Ellie-May). Obviously they need something to be proud off in the insularity they foster, however as even the Coca Cola fizzy pop Div 2 is rated above the SPL it is surprising that another thread has seen fit to copy the present standings of some of the clubs.

In order to balance the situation here follows a brief interlude of sanity showing a few of the clubs from the, more senior, Div 2, but before you relish in the statistics can I also add the following sentiment:

Come on County!!! (Mansfield who!?!?)

Mansfield - BOTTOM.

You can never find that Junior when you want him, eh?

[Robert HM]

Shhh I left a couple of teams off the bottom to make it look even worse, sort of playing with statistics 

[RED-DOG]

Mansfield - BOTTOM.

Its like housemaid's knee, but it affects more people

[Colchester Kev]

Junior cant support mansfield .....  he should be supporting ..BOYSfield

[Junior Senior]

or is it eff off you ****'s? - its one or the other!

all together now.... "i had a football team, their wheels fell off",

[Robert HM]

That's my wheelbarrow you're talking about!

[TightEnd]

you're a magpie robert? I never knew. Great stadium, about time the good times returned.

I'm a fox. good times a   long   way   off

[patman]

used to pass darlingtons stadium on the way to do some work down south...glad to see they look as if they may make a decent stab at having a tema to match it.

also wycombe have a soft spot for me as this was MON staring point in football life

cheltenhams results i watch for ever since i went to 3 festivals and spent a fortune and had a whale of a time.

carlisle ......can you imagine playing there....need a boat to get there half the time and then you know your going to beat them cos they have the old witches curse on them....


and Robert is "insularity" not a typical charlie nicholas football gobbeldegook speak....along with footballwise..or any other wise he uses a lot , a midfield medley, etc

[Colchester Kev]

Hellooooooooo sweety  

[TightEnd]

 

Wotcha Cochy.

You worry me sometimes.

[MonkeyDonkey]

Good work Robert! I really, genuinely, don't know what phrase or statement to get offended to quickest among that opening para of yours.

Think I'll go with the idea that a country discussing their own football league could be seen as an example of its 'insularity'. Should keep me happy for a wee while.

[Robert HM]

Good work Robert! I really, genuinely, don't know what phrase or statement to get offended to quickest among that opening para of yours.

It was tongue in cheek, honest guv   

[MonkeyDonkey]

I know that boss. Hell, I live down here and get it all the time. I've taken to getting a kinda masochistic sense of well-being through letting it get me all bitter and all - kinda enjoy it.

Tell me a Scottish goalkeeper joke I beg you...
