Football - Oh, Come On: I Couldn't Resist...

Hi Inga I agree they are just load of money grabbers just pure greed, However Leicester City you need to see if a therapist can help you with that.

Love Sarah xx

Was wondering why you thought that - then noted you were from MK...  Given that that is a footy desert, I assume that makes you a Salford United fan (I refuse to refer to them as being from Manchester...)  Us Foxes are all totally well balanced... wibble.  And I know I'm not crazy - the voices in my head tell me I'm not......  Inga - a.k.a. Napoleon...

So, so envious...  please let everyone know how it goes n due course...  "Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate, And though I oft have passed them by, The day will come at last when I, Shall take the hidden paths that run, West of the moon, East of the sun......"  Three points for anyone recognising the quote;  you only provoke my wanderlust!  Itchyfeet Inga.

I believe that this was written by a Mr B Baggins as part of a song ... but may be wrong - I have a love of Tolkien and enjoy reading his work, and was inspired enough to name my bicycle with which I cycled round the world on ‘Baggins’ !

Tolkien is a great inspiration for any traveler, but I am not a big fan of the long winded songs ..

Wow I didn't know ping pong was that aggressive Lisa

Fitbaa great name for a vegan breakfast bar, Stephanie.

I don’t really know much about the super League, but it sounded a ripoff when I heard about it. But I thought that England was part of Europe any more? But if that idiot who owns the Arsenal has any part in it it is not to be trusted. He has always wanted to move the team out of London and has been trying to ruin the team so that he can do so. He did it here with the American football team he owns so he could move it to LA. Plus he defaulted on agreements he had with the local and state governments and the stadium they played in leaving millions of dollars unpaid.  And still after several years those issue have not been resolved. Ask us if we are bitter or not!

Hi on the news all 6 pl teams have withdrawn from the super league

Leslie are you a Gunner as well

Yay..... great news!!!!!!!!!!!

the millionaire/billionaire owners of all six should hang their heads in shame!!!...

NEVER underestimate the power of the TRUE football fan.....xx

LisaT -

Great to see another canoe polo player  !

being a sprinter I could get to the ball first all time but was awful at throwing so worked as a blocker for the teams I played in !

The BAT’s have come a long way since my day !

Hey Inga y

Hope this reply finds you well.

I have always supported my local football club, Crystal Palace, I do miss those Saturday afternoons on the terraces (yes I am that old). It was certainly a special day when I got a job working for the football club too!

I was so saddened to hear the Super League announcement over the past few days, what it has shown is that managers and a certain chairman, have stepped up to highlight the idiocy of this breakaway league.

Will be watching the FA Cup final with interest as always. Would love Leicester City to win as they are such a consistent team.

Looks like the idea is DOA; which is a good thing. There is so much greed in sports and the Super League was just a terrible idea for multiple reasons.

Here in El Paso we are 18 days away from our local club's (El Paso Locomotive FC) home opener. This is the third season and I'm so glad we decided to become season ticket holders from the start. Vamos Locos!

Aaahh... Crystal Palace - the only team in the league without a vowel in the first five letters of their name.... and quite possibly the ultimate in "For The Fans" clubs!  No-one ever became a Palace fan for the glamour or the big, plush stadium; they do it because they love the club.  More power to you!  As Hazell and Tasha have also mentioned, the ESL seems to be dead on it's feet- and good riddance!  Royal Blue Inga...

Although I hate to even mention anything related to the money grubbing schweinhunds at FIFA, I'm just waiting for the World Cup.  Missing the Euro Cup last year was bad enough!😪
