Get a grip. There should be an outright ban for moronic posts such as this.

I've read his post and draw a form of parrallel,  it is very similar in line to an episode of Soccer AM way back with Noel Gallagher on the sofa ..

To those who " know not"

Professional Ligger and general arse licker Tim Lovejoy is wearing a Ramones T Shirt ..and Gallagher cuts him right down to size after agreeing what a great band they were 

N-G   "name one of their songs" ?

T-L .......embarrassing silence 

Maybe it's on the net somewhere ?

Thats the Man Utd bit dealt with 

The Wednesday bit ?

I agree Ban the idiot .......lol

Singha beer can be quite potent and large quantities shouldn't be imbibed before posting on OT.

 

I was in Bangkok in 1992 with the new Mrs Nobsworth (we were on our honeymoon at the time) and a Thai chap asked us where we were from.  "Sheffield" replied I.

"Ah! Sheffield Wednesday!" said he. A big smile appeared on my face. "Absolutely!" said I.

He smiled back and said: "Chris Waddle!" then politely guided into a shop where I ended up buying some brass bamboo-style cuttlery.

Clever bloke to get someone from Sheffield to take cuttlery from Thailand back home.  Still got them, btw. 

 

True story...

What a pile of cr•p , I don’t waste my time talking to Manures... you should know better.

As for why I support Wednesday, I don’t know why, I just do, and I was born and live in the Isles of Scilly!!

It’s certainly not for the glory.

Had a family in the shop last week from Bristol and their ten year old supported Bristol Rovers. Had a great chat with him... he had more knowledge and passion than any glory hunting, brand associating, shallow man yoo tart.

There are 2 reasons. Firstly I’m 6000 miles away so its a little expensive and it would take a sizeable chunk out of my life. When I was younger I would often only miss a couple of away games in a season but now I admit to being a ‘big match’ fan only. £2k to see the Norwich match..worth every penny.

 

However the main reason I can’t support them any longer is down to a conversation I had with a woman in a bar last night. A good friend of mine is a Liverpool supporter and as we walked into said bar he was confronted by this woman who proceeded to mock his team. I thought I’d find out where she was coming from, so I asked her what team she supported and she replied Man U. Swiftly followed by her enquiring of me which team I followed. On mentioning Wednesday she quickly lost interest and I took this as disapproval so I decided to scrutinize her choice of team.

 

‘Do you live in Manchester?’ I asked

Monosyllabic answer ‘no’

‘Were you born in Manchester ‘ I not so innocently probed.

Affirmative response

‘Do you get to many matches?’

Monosyllabic negative reply..... followed by

‘But I’ve been to Manchester

I did actually fall off my bar stool.

 

Well smack me with a wet kipper, she’s been shopping in Selfridges and become a life long Man U Fan

 

So where do you come from I continued ... some obscure Welsh town

 

And why do you support Man U ... no answer... why not support your local team….no answer.

 

I’m not sure she ever understood my message and my sweet talking repartee was obviously getting me no where so we parted company. A seven minute marriage made in heaven.

Thank Buddha for intelligent Bar girls full of stimulating conversation coming to my rescue.

 

Now I haven’t an intrinsic problem with Man U., but everywhere I go in the world I get pretty sick when people ask me where I’m from, and then immediately suggest Manchester or Liverpool.

 

So I’m proposing an outright ban on being able to qualify as a supporter if you weren’t born within spitting distance of the ground. And that’s the second reason I can’t support Wednesday as I was born in (on the) Arbourthorne.

 

So what’s the most feeble / tenuous reason you’ve heard for supporting a team

 

and, whom amongst we Wednesday supporters, can claim to have started following them from the farthest away from the ground. (not where you live now )

I'm not very good at chatting up women aswell if that helps... Don't blame problems with women on football.....  Hope that helps

I know it sounds a bit "Fast Show", but this is totally true.  I'll try to prove it:
