First topic message reminder :

Let's look towards the next game after getting ourselves back on track against France, just like last year, after the Irish put the spanner in the works.

I did kinda think he was being.... but that's why I added the "I think" - I wasn't sure.

It's something like I might say as a double bluff on Mystirs mispost....but I'm thinking you might be right now. That or he's holding a very straight face on this one and stringing it out.

he did add "up the Arsenal" to a post.

but anyway. I think he has now tried to turn his very angry post around.

Sod him though . Ten to a penny those types.. Feels superior to footy fans and adds nothing of value to the  one and only sport he watches..

Isn't being mysterious de rigueur at the moment?Folk are pushing boundaries in their wums all around.

I am not quite sure what I am being.Never held this fella in an average regard.His football interest reinforces my regard for his Rugby contributions and gives them some context.Up the Arsenal!

Taff, I think you'd find that quite a number of Rugby 606ers have a passing regard for football too.  I don't watch much of it at all - but there was nothing on TV last night and I found myself watching the Manchester game...................... not the best night to renew my acquaintance with the game, mind you!  Paint drying stuff.
But there are many guys here who wouldn't shout about it but watch football

mate you watched the worst game ever..

there have been some classics this year and you pick the one game that will make you stop watching again!!

I'll be back for the Euros, mystir.... and then the World Cup
I love the Big International Competitions - colourful, intriguing, fun.

I dont want to turn this in to a footy threaad as Taffy may burst his top. BUt your group in the euros is mouth watering!!(PS the world cup is first)

It's murder! That's what it is. We're gone already.

Ha! ha! So it is. (WC first that is)

Secret,football is morally bankrupt and is to me an abhorrent conning of the masses.I am of an age when it was noble and the players and managers were rightly revered.When my beloved wants to watch some American wallpaper I too give it a go on my android.Usauallylasts about twenty minutes before I despair.

Ok mate . But you don't have to act morally bankrupt yourself do you..

Quit talking about football on a Rugby thread, you two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stand rugby being sullied by talk of football!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always support England in the FIFA World Cup. Hence I endure English penalty anxiety. I can't help myself. It's truly painful.

Good on ya GE..

i think you are insane by the way. Who would want to endure that when they don't have to

a soft spot for England,GE?

Hmmm, this thread is opening up hidden areas in all our lives.............

RUGBY IS FOOTBALL RAGE

Who brought football up in the first place?Give me Three Day Eventing every day!

Rugby is War. Football is chess.

You did taffy. Mine was a legit error....
but give me a 5 day test ir a 4 day major gover any other sport

Three Day Eventing is Othello!

Anyways.Anybody else going to the game?

Can't help myself. No idea why. I think it would rekindle English identity and relive a huge pressure valve in society if joe public England could be proud on the national team again, in their preferred sport. Actually have actual English sporting heroes to be proud of. I think the rise in prominence of the English club, and idolisation of foreign imports is a symptom of the lack of success of the national team. Nothing could do more to freeze wage caps and lower rival club tension than a good dose of feeling its irrelevance.

By my support isn't based on cognitive rationalisation, I just supported England as a kid and kept going.

My girls like 3DE. 95% boredom 5% terror.

You could get no lower.

Awww. Thanks

Too close to call. i am expecting a very tight game. i am not expecting a runaway score like last year.

Nothing wrong with watching Football. Not my cup of tea but I know lots of people won't enjoy watching tennis or ice hockey

Tennis is actually my favourite sport to watch, just over rugby, shame I was never any good at it

If ice hockey was still like it was in that film Goon. Then count me in!!

but not to impressed with the winter Olympics in all honesty.

It's all about the NHL

The dude has issues- but its kind of so outrageously stupid that it slides of me..He literally has zero affect..

Gavin liked Strictly as a 2nd sport. Wasn't much good at it.

Anyone like skiing

Wasn't 1967 a good year, though?
