Blue Pop thinking we all come on forums to try and move the game forward . And all this obsessed shit, it's a rivalry, banter is expected, just because you can't handle a bit of banter it doesn't mean you have to spew the word "obsessed" all over toontastic, when the fact you're on here in the first place proves something about your obsession with Newcastle...

I hope she's got proper fat in the four years since this photo

I don't get all this "They all deserve 44k each anyway" lark. It takes little talent to be on the Sports Direct shop floor, not that I have anything against anyone who has the job or anything, but you don't need talent or anything, giving them all 44k bonuses would be like going to the Dole queue and giving out 20 pound notes to anyone who can spell their name, after all, you can get any old pleb in to replace a shit bottle rung worker, the reason footballers wages are so high is because of the demand, theres not 60million people in Britain who can play top class football so we can't just get in 12k a year shitmunchers to keep up us, what's the point of Ashley owning a Premier League club if he doesn't want to pay premiums? Can't he just buy Leyton Orient and jizz about the League 1 action he's getting, you go with him Nick, sit there calling Ashley a genius for running his little club cheaply, and let the real men talk football.

It's a bloody friendly, of course shit like this can happen, it's the Sunderland fans getting all "We're top boys and oh so righteous" on facebook that are the real laughing stock

This is why it should be Federal, let Germany, UK and France lead the way in the way it should be done, and give European nations the funds as %of GDP.

Maybe, but most arguments i've had with rugby fans irl i've won, although I never really find enough to argue with, and usually they're too tongue in cheek to count but still. I dunno, I think the NFL is similar to the Premier League in the way "Amazing moments" happen, and that's what makes a sport for me. It doesn't help that rugby domestic games are barely anything, same with cricket, which I love. Last minute plays to reach the play-offs and the such in front of 60 thousand screaming fans is something that only the big leagues can reach maybe it's a bit of niche, but theres that feeling of belonging you don't get in most sports (and the tailgating looks ace!). I hope I can get to Minneapolis to see the Vikings next year, because I think it'll just be an amazing experience. Similar to the way going to New Zealand as a rugby fan this winter will be amazing. With rugby (and cricket) the only real atmospheres are at international level, and you lose out on the banter of it all. How many rugby fans have you heard arguing over intricate details like football fans do? In America NFL (and NCAA, the college level, where 100k fans are the norm in some stadiums :|) are like that, and the rest of the sports are like what rugby and cricket are, people care, but they're all just a secondary choice come "Football" season. I guess it helps that my sleeping patterns fucked and i'm usually up when the games are on like! I dunno, but once you get into it it's truely amazing to watch Oh and by the way, at first the Point after touchdown (the kick) was worth the most points, hence the football name. Still no excuse to not change it like, and Americans calling football "futbol" pisses me off more than soccer ever will Or as most reactions to my post will go... TLDR

Poll size? OUr feeling of belonging should be higher, rest spot on. 13k but how many from each team? Bet like 10k were Manc United fans

I hardly know any FA Cup captains from before my time, but didnt Brian Kilcline captain Coventry? My brother mentioned it agesss ago, for reasons that I forgot about, if he played for England i'll eat a rat

It definitely will. Surely the home end will give us extra tickets though? The stadium holds 25k!

I wouldnt be surprised if it does. I think most of us are gagging for the football to start again and a lot will be wanting a peek at Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Marveaux, Ba and whoever else signs before then. Grimsby played there this season. Let's just say, you could have had about 100 seats per person.

Sorry for my mong moment, but who the fuck are X? Xtep, Chinese company

Watch out it might sell out fast

I knew what that'd be before I clicked the link , Weebl for King!

Wrong. Christophe Lemaitre will have something to say about that. Yeah, okay there are fast people in American Football, there are fast people in every sport. Bryan Habana clocked 100m in 10.4 and he's a fucking unit, built for upper body strength. And he's not even the fastest South African winger, Tonderai Chavhanga can do it in 10.2. That's your stupidest comment yet. Aren't physical enough for what? You wrap yourself in cotton wool before you go out to play, and get one hit every 5 - 10 minutes. Granted you're explosive pace and fitness is better, but endurance wise rugby will win everytime. And then you bang on about viewing figures. Here you go: http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pre...id=2022301.html Because I'm nice, I'll break it down for you. I already said about specialists needed in American Football. Those hits you get are so bad, I've played rugby and the hits are always same place, safe enough because the rules don't allow anywhere else (no argument there its only safety). In American Football you can hit ANYWHERE, but you have helmets to protect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dORIEVuWlLI...feature=related That's high school level, imagine that without a helmet. The point is, most rugby players aren't strong enough to be a guard/defensive lineman etc because that's pure strength. And most wingers aren't fast enough (you named a couple that would be nearly as fast as the fastest NFL wide recievers) to be wide receivers. That said, i'm sure most wide receivers couldn't play rugby at a professional level and most defensive linemen couldn't be a rugby player either. Rugby players (on average) are sort of jack of all trades, you need to be strong AND quick. However if you're not too strong you can make up in pace and vice versa. 90% of wide receivers however are faster than 90% of wingers, and the strongest American Footballers are (in my opinion) stronger than the strongest rugby players. But it's not true to say "the helmets" mean it's for fags or whatever, because those helmets are the only thing that can stop some deadly challenges. Rules are tehre for a reason, and in no sport can you tackle where you want without protection, it'd be like saying shinpads just make football "gay".

And the same with Britain. Someone in my COLLEGE class thought Scotland was on a different island to England! Not everyones from Grimsby though. Times I've been to Cleethorpes and Blundell Park I've thought oh dear. Good chippy behind the away end though. My mate must be the only lad to get chinned home & away by Grimsby fans. The 1-1 draw down there he went looking for me and this other kid and endeed up getting a dig which had his hooter covered in blood. The next game against them at home was the one where Dobbin ended our winning run. He had a freebie in his Gaffers exec box got bolloxed on the house gave some random Grimsby fans some abuse when he was on his todd waiting for a bus outside Gotham Town as he was legless and still sore about his previous encounter, apparently the Grimsby fans looked around looking for some trap, saw a lone pissed Geordie working himself and gave him another couple of digs to add to the previous season's one. Cleethorpes is one fucking dive, it has to be said. Grimsby is a dive, Cleethorpes isn't that bad. The part where Town play is a shithole, but further along its actually a nice place, as is the same with any city/town theres shit and good places. Shame Town have to play in the grimiest place around

Also, my favourite ever NFL moment, was watching on TV at the time and going mental (I support the Vikings, team in purple). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-FjJzslb6Y

That's a little mischievous, he was born on a US military base wasn't he? I think the Republicans were stating Obama wasn't American, rather than stating he wasn't born in the US. No, they were actually insinuating he wasn't born in the US as that would make him an illegitimate candidate. As for McCain, I'm not arsed in the least and he seems like a decent bloke but lets face it, that's Panama in all but official lingo. I dunno, but if that one from Iowa who's a congresswoman (I think) in Minnesota gets the President, i'm officially leaving Western civilization Imagine Palin. Hilarious and terrifying in equal measure. Oh God Palin would be bad :|. Michele Bachmann was the one I was thinking of, her policies are crazy, but at least she's more intelligent than Palin

That's brilliant! Never noticed that before :'). I liked it when they said the small birth certificate wasn't good enough, so Obama brings his real full size birth certificate out. They'll be calling that fake next

And they don't have a "class" system apparently, it's disgusting. The Tea Party is the most stupid organisation ever. They have the cheek to call Obama Communist for wanting healthcare reforms? But if the Americans vote the idiots in like they did in 2010, who can blame them?

indeed....but only because we've been completely inundated with them for so long....fwiw, i don't class some of them as sports anyway, nascar not a sport, just regular traffic in T.O. on a circular track. Baseball not a sport, anything you can do while drinking a beer does not meet the criteria to be classed as a sport, the americans know this which is why it's called the national "pastime". Agreed with Nascar, what a load of bollocks. Baseball i'm not a fan of, but to be fair it is similar to cricket, which you can also do drinking a beer. Baseball can be okay to watch at 3am when nothing else is on ESPN. Toronto does have the Blue Jays too which is odd seeing as its supposed to be the American national thing

And the same with Britain. Someone in my COLLEGE class thought Scotland was on a different island to England! Not everyones from Grimsby though. Times I've been to Cleethorpes and Blundell Park I've thought oh dear. Good chippy behind the away end though. We piss on your fish yes we do yes we do The Mariners you're on about, not too bad actually. Oh come on, those EDL idiots who love "English culture", they don't even spell properly! I was on their facebook page the other day just looking and the stuff they put is so embarrassing! I know it's the same across the UK because I always meet a lot of idiots wherever I go. A lot of nice people and a lot of smart people too. Same in America and anywhere

And the same with Britain. Someone in my COLLEGE class thought Scotland was on a different island to England! More true of Americans though. Nothing against them either but most of them have never been abroad even. To pretend otherwise is as bad as saying they're all cunts. I'm not saying that (although to be fair America is huge and theres more different climates etc. We have a lot of people just go to Benidorm for the heat because its got a large English culture). I just think we're as bad as they are. Ours just aren't as well documented.

Xenophobic, shirley It's not really xenophobic though. Anyway my main point is a lot of yanks are cunts, and anyone who watches American football is a mug. It's hard to argue with those two main points. Not really saying tongue-in-cheek comments are but he was saying the septics aren't a race but having a pop at them is racist. I was, as usual, being pedantic like S'all discrimination, besides in reality they're synonymous in most occasions.
