This Charming Man

My old man works there. He said it's really windy and cold, so I would cover your dignity with a leaf or something. Wouldn't want to embarrass yourself.

It may be harmless fun but it's weird, abnormal behaviour for a fully grown adult. If you walked past someone in the street frantically clapping along to someone dancing in a dog costume, you'd give them a wide berth.

I saw him at the Sheff Weds cup game with his sons and Le Tiss.

Don't even get me f*cking started on that.

I have never seen so many astounded/excited adults in one place. You would've thought Mila Kunis was on the pitch waving her snatch about. People were working themselves up into a frenzy. It was almost an anti-climax for most when the players returned to the pitch, I'm surprised there wasn't a collective sigh when the 2nd half kicked off. Truly ashamed that they are my fellow fans.

A little bit of my love for football died that night.

Not if you're going to Germany. You wouldn't be able to get full use out of it...

As long as it doesn't affect the price of my subscription to 'Animal Farm' then I don't care.

You can have mine for £150?

Stick to the Lambert theme, please.

B*gger, must've missed that. I love giving myself a pat on the back for singing a football song.

I was literally sat in my seat with my head in my hands whilst this atrocity was occurring on the pitch. 80% of the ground stood up, many of them fully grown adults going wild for a man wearing a dog costume dancing like a mong, clapping and cheering away like it was the best thing they've ever seen. Then as the players came back out, 3 of the stands sat back down and resumed their usual silence. Quite unbelievable, even for our embarrassing supporters.

I still keep laughing at this. What a classic. I was slightly disappointed though that we didn't give ourselves a round of applause like we normally do when we come up with a 'witty' chant. What can we sing to Suarez on Saturday? 'You're just a racist Rickie Lambert'? LOL

You mean leave it for those who are far more knowledgeable than yourself?

I thought you'd finished, I would've got away with it as well with my well timed edit if you hadn't quoted me.

Few years/40 odd years. They're basically the same thing.

So for around 40 years of it's 57 year history, it was only open to the Champions of their respective nation? Weird, aintforever said that wasn't the case.

Errrr... yes it was. It was only like that for around 40 years.

The new proposals would not be the 'Champions League' though. It would be the 'Finish In The Top Half Of The League League'

Plenty have died trying...

The stadium has to be floating. Building a platform out into the Thames isn't far fetched enough.

Outside the giants of English football, only Everton have qualified for the CL in the modern era, without significant investment to get them there. They crashed out in the qualifying round and never made the group stage proper... they haven't got anywhere near since. Also, this new proposal would be the death of European football. There are already too many teams making up the numbers in the 'Champions' League and crowds this season have been pretty poor.

Haha. Nearly went in the Foresters at the weekend. Got too scared in the end though and walked on by.

That would only work if there were other Saints fans around, there weren't at this time. They were all on the travel club by this point, sipping on their hot chocolates.

Can see them both being draws. Would prefer a QPR win though, with our run in we should be looking to pull away from them and gain on the teams above us. 3 of our 4 next games are very, very winnable.
