They should have won that game easily. Same old problem - too much stuffing around in the penalty box, instead of of just taking the shot when it's on. Welbeck and Alexis were great signings, but as much as I used to be fan, I can't see them winning a title with Wenger in charge. He's just too...

Hi all, been enjoying this thread a lot, even though most of you are clueless about football. I've been in hospital for a while, and I very much hope to get out of here. So keep speaking crap - I need something to entertain me. All The Best, Mark

Yeah, I owe you a shilling. I tried to educate her during the WC, but she just didn't get it. She only cares about music and not much else. She sings like a bird and plays a mean piano, but it would be nice if she liked football. She doesn't get my Gunners addiction, though she does appreciate...

Yeah, so she's a Hobbit - what's your problem? You damn bigot! ;)

They should blow the cobwebs off the cheque book and make sure they get Lukaku. They're fools if they don't.

Bored as hell and waiting for my girl to get home. Worth the wait though.

LOL I bet most of the people here have been in a similar situation at some point. It's funny later, but at the time it sucks, especially when it really is a good friend. It's not fun telling a mate that he completely sucks.

I don't really care about "fashion police", but I don't walk onto stage looking like a git. We're musicians, but we're also entertainers, and should try and look the part. Not a big a deal, I agree, but if ever wear shorts on stage, I hope someone shoots me in the head. They'd have good cause, I...

Yep, when cities pay huge dollars for big club clubs to appear, they should be made to play their best side. Otherwise it's just ripping fans off. I remember seeing Nottingham Forest with my dad when I was a kid (a great team at the time and the first English club I ever saw). They played their...

Mmmm... that post didn't sound too good LOL.

I certainly don't mean any offence either, and it's very hard to tell the quality of teams when all you see are these kind of games. I've seen similar matches here against top European clubs (who were paid huge "appearance money") and most of them were a joke. It would be nice to see these...

No offence to the MLS, but I doubt those teams would win promotion out of the third division in true competition. I've seen this in Australia too, and I think it sucks when top English sides (who are being paid big appearance money) basically play reserve teams. Fans pay a lot of money to attend...

I wouldn't give them much of winning promotion from the third division. No offence, but you can't take those pre-season matches seriously. I think it sucks that teams like Aston Villa basically play reserve sides in these matches. Fans pay good money to see top sides play, and it's not good...

Damn, I didn't know there was a "posting impaired" thread. Where can I find it? (obviously I'm impaired or else I'd know). ;)

All joking aside, I reckon that's really all you need to say. I've been sacked by bands, and had to fire other musicians. There's no point in overcomplicated it. If it's not working out, just keep it simple. Be nice about it for sure, but don't get into a debate about why you're letting someone...
