Should Brighton be investigated for Saturdays game ?
Seriously.

I havent seen it, but I've picked up on a few comments about just how bad it was.

I know Wham must have been pumped up after Friday's defeat for us, but even that doesnt explain the scoreline, imo.

People can argue that Brighton still had a chance of a play-off place, but how often does 6th place win the playoffs ? Everyone knows how much of a lottery it is, which is why we are so desperate to avoid it.

And quite frankly, I trust Poyet about as far as I can throw him. With my little finger.

If it was thrown, the evidence must be out there somewhere, and if it EVER got traced back to Wham, I would throw them out of the League for good, after the Tevez business.

I was sat in a pub on Whitehall Friday afternoon and four scousers came in and sat on the next table. No colours, no talk of the game. I said to my wife, "Reds," She said "How do you know?" I said, "I know." (Actually, they looked like the kind of people who would cripple a cripple.)

Next pub outside the Sussex Leicester Square, six scousers on the next table; no colours, no talk of the game. I said to my wife, "Blues," She said "How do you know?" I said, "I know." Two minutes, later on the other side of the street ,a bloke walks by in,a Po from the Teletubbies suit. Six scousers all start singing, "Red and white shite Red and white shite hello." Po waves, we all laugh, And I say to my wife, "That's how I know."

Nah mate, wrong position. He usually played on the left wing for us, which means you have to compare him to... Downing.

Babel: cost ~£11.5M, scored 10 goals in 49 appearances first season.
Downing: cost ~£20M, has scored 2 goals in 40 appearances so far.

Oh dear.

This is trully one of the saddest days of my life. Nothing can describe what I feel right now. It hurts to see Madrid celebrating with their dirty diving acting wasting time game, specially in Camp Nou. This is not right. Not even going to talk about the ref because he was a bitch too. And I wont congratulate Madrid because they dont deserve it at all. And also considering that Madrid couldn’t beat Barça in the SEVEN matches prior to this one, they are pretty big-headed right now.

Personally I think we played okay (propably thinking already about Chelsea), but not a “poo poo” one like many people are saying. We missed important players and played with no urgency at all, coupled with bad touches and bad finishing, but still managed to outplay Madrid on the ball. I saw the players fighting the whole 90 minutes. Sometimes luck is not on your side, kind of like what happened at Stamford. My pride is hurt, we lost to the rival. But we will get up, just like we’ve done so many times. We are stronger than any other team, than any adversity. We have the CL and Copa del Rey and we will win. We have no reason to be ashamed of the boys, they gave everything. We, as fans, have to support them now, so they’ll feel ready for CL Match. I would like to ask all my fellow culés to unite, and support the team insted of bringing them down. We are a family, remeber that.. and a Family is always there. On good times and bad times. Today I feel more culé than ever. Thank you Barça for teaching me so many things ...you made me love football, you gave my life a new meaning.

As for Pep. At first I was angry at him and blamed him for everything what went wrong tonight. And you know what? After a while of calming down I feel quite happy. We played well and we had the guts to put on a few youngsters like Tello and Thiago. We scored, we didn’t give up, we fought for 90 mins. You know what other teams would do, right? They’d just lose faith, give up and defend. But we didn’t. We try our best for the full game. I’m a proud Cule and all you other Cules should be too. This is what I call, losing with style. Learn for us Madrid, you’ll need it. Madrid went 3 years without winning La Liga. And they won’t keep it for much longer. Next season, it’s ours. Visca el Barça!

Hey there. Hey there big man, do you need holding? Close your eyes. Go on, close them. I don't know how tall you are relative to Rafa, but imagine yourself in his manly arms. [You may need to be crouched down/standing on a box to make this role play work]. Rafa's pressing you into his ample tum, and he's got one arm around your neck, and the other across the small of your back. Are you feeling that? He's wearing a lovely cologne, you can't place it, but it's really manly and reassuring, and it briefly reminds you how you used to feel when you got a cuddle from your Grandad when you were a little kid. As you sink into that relaxed and loved state of being, you become aware that Rafa is whispering in your ear. He's saying 'it's okay, it's okay, I've gone, I've gone, but I'm still here in your dreams". You can almost feel the bristles of his goatee tickling your earlobe. It's like the first time you kissed a girl. Remember how excited and thrilling that felt. You felt unbeatable. You felt the anticipation and you felt loved. It made you a man. But listen; the soft Spanish mannerisms of his accent envelope you in a warm fuzzy moment of joy, and for a moment you're transported back to the feeling you and when you climbed up the ropes in primary school. You forget about Roy, and FSG, and Kenny Dalglish and you breathe deeply and easily.

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Imagine the scenario, you watch football, you enjoy football, you like to think you know a fair bit about football (it’s not complicated after all). Then you have a run-in with a ‘real’ football fan. After which you begin to question…what the flip happened to that man (or woman) to make him (or her) backwards and be so vociferous in his views nonetheless? Not just that, what made him think his point of view would have any effect on me, an educated man, and my views?

Here are some of the arguments I’ve had thrown my way during my football supporting career:

You Shouldn’t Be A Glory Supporter – I’m a Man United fan from Halifax. I get told regularly that I should be ashamed of that fact. Why? I made the decision when I was 7 years old. If somebody had said to me when I was 7, you realise that the decision you have just made will be held against you for the rest of your life, I’d have said ‘how childish’. When I was 7 I wanted my team to win trophies, I’m 23 now, I still want to see my team win trophies. I’ve not changed teams since then, I’ve always followed United, even during those seasons when we didn’t win the league. It was hell. People say, ‘oh look at all the supporters that have come out of the woodwork since Chelsea and Man City have been taken over.’ So what. Let people support whoever they want, they shouldn’t have to justify themselves.

You Must Support Your Local Team – Well here you have to be clear about how you define support. Do I follow FC Halifax’s results and hope they do well? Yes I do. Would I go and pay to see them play? No I wouldn’t. I believe I ‘support’ them the right amount. I’m not ashamed about supporting Man United so don’t have me believe that I should be. It’s like I said before, support whoever you like. If you want to support your local team then do so, by all means, if not then don’t.

You can’t be proud of being a club with a ‘Sugar-Daddy’ – Why not? If you were to say to me that you wouldn’t want your team to have the spending power of Man City then I could in all confidence call you a liar. ‘Yea but if you win the league you haven’t earned it, you’ve bought it!’ I don’t think they acknowledge that in the history books. If you have the most points over 38 games then, yes, you have earned it. It’s not cheating to buy the best players and any club would want that kind of financial clout.

It’s Bad To Be An Armchair Supporter – ‘Have you ever been to Old Trafford to watch United play? ‘No.’ ‘Oh, you’re an armchair supporter then, you’re not a real supporter.’ Hmmm, interesting theory. I can disprove that with simple maths. Man United have a fan base of millions. Old Trafford has a capacity of just under 80,000. Where would everybody sit should every single United fan go to a game? Or there is this other little equation I have. How much does a ticket cost? Roughly £40. How much are you willing to spend? Not £40. Do I still support United despite not being present at the games? Yes.

You Aren’t Allowed To Complain About Bad Decisions If You Support A Big Club – Every team experiences their fair share of bad luck. If you’re a smaller club playing against a bigger team then you expect a few dodgy decisions to go against you.  Those decisions piss you off and you have every right to be pissed off. So why if a decision goes against a bigger team are they NOT allowed to be pissed off? Why have they to just accept it? Stinks of hypocrisy, if you ask me.  

You Must Support English Clubs In Europe Even If They Are Your Rivals – What a load of bollocks! I wouldn’t support Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Man City in European competition. EVER. They wouldn’t support Man United, that’s the whole point of being rivals. Everton fans wouldn’t support Liverpool, Leeds fans wouldn’t support United, Fulham fans wouldn’t support Chelsea, Spurs fans wouldn’t support Arsenal. Next season, when Newcastle are dicking Barcelona in the Champions League, they won’t get any support from Sunderland fans.  You want to see your rivals lose every single game, whoever they are playing.

Football Gets More ‘Real’ The Lower Down The Football League You Get – Go figure. What does ‘real’ even mean? I ask because I’m pretty certain I haven’t imagined the Premier League being the most entertaining league in the world. ‘The Premier League isn’t real football; real football is your Mansfields or your Orients or whoever.’  Ask a Mansfield fan or an Orient fan or whoever if they’d like their team to play in the Premier League and the answer you’d receive would NOT be no.

You might think that this article smacks of elitism and arrogance and it’d be a fair assumption. The point I want to make is football is an unsavoury game full of unsavoury characters; players, managers, owners, fans, journalists, even holier-than-thou bloggers who think they’re better than everybody else. You need to derive all the pleasure you can from the game considering there are so many of aspects of it that are detestable. If you want to take it that seriously that you put in place these pseudo-rules to live your life by to be considered a true fan then so be it. Just don’t be telling me that I have to do the same thing. Otherwise, I’ll get the old typewriter out and write more of this poo poo!
