Hey, can I get in on this footy chat.........
I was born and brought up in spitting distance of the Vetch Field. Swansea City's Home util two seasons ao when they moved to the new Liberty Stadium. (I cried...and went to the last home game at he Vetch which was coincidentally with Macclesfield who my other half supports.)
Swansea are now in the championship and Macc are still in League 2. The onl drawback is that Cardiff are championship too and the rivalry between the two is dreadful. Swansea town centre used to be trashed everytime Cardiff came to the Vetch. Then the police took over and fans where escorted from the station to the field and back again. Fans were segregated to avoid trouble. I saw a man chased down our street and battered by about 10 blokes... I was about 8 and we lived in a little street, no more than 28 houses in all. On one occasion my mother found a finger in a glass left on our windowsill. Bizarre!
Back to the football. I xan't wait for the new season, I thouroughly enjoyed Euro 2008. Even if we had no representation, there were some great games... except for when the greeks were playing, they just keep possession of the ball at the back, it was wasteful.
Jake supports Chelsea and has done since he was about 6. Jake is a goalie, he plays with a local team they are rubbish but he enjoys throwing himself about.
Rhys suppported Derby last season cos he thought someone should given that they were getting hammered...but the money they made from TV rights will keep them going for a few seasons. Even if they don't go straight back up, it will give them some bouyancy.
Dave is a lifelong Man City fan.....though he feels compromised now that thai billionaire has bought them... and sacked Erickson after one season, where they actually finished in the top ten.... how can he think that Mark Hughes can do better than Sven?
It won't be long now..... maybe we should have our own fantasy football league...lol....
What do you think?
Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane.
