Reminds me of a mentally handicapped guy I always see in my local Cineworld. He's always got full kit on, but he also carries 2 or 3 bags for life full of jerseys around with him and seems to change throughout the day. I saw him a while ago in a shop near the cinema with a Maxi shirt on and then again inside 10minutes later with his Shelvy one on.

he's really let himself go since liverpool sacked him at the end of last season :(

If you want to stand and pretend you're in Europe in the 70s, every MLS team has a fan club section where you can go and be a poseur and have sing-a-longs and interpretive dance and stuff. Every other section is by default a "sitting section".

I enjoy soccer, I enjoy going to soccer games, but I think the biggest thing holding soccer back in this country is the snobby europoseurs who among other things, think it's their obligation to show American sports fans that they are "doing it wrong"

paint up a tifo during the half time interval of duke nukem doing a murder to them, these eurosnobs will soon take the hint

But then, as becomes clear, this is not really about the inner-workings of a football club, but everything to do with promoting Liverpool in a glossy, Hello! magazine style to a global (particularly American) audience.

"Pele...and those guys" -Alan Shearer on the 1970 Brazil team

someone start badshearerpunditry.txt

every Italy game at Euro 2012 he just talked about Balotelli (he frowns at this point), Buffon and Pirlo ('loves to pass'). By the QFs it was undeniable that he'd never actually heard of the other 20 squad members.

at the 2010 World Cup the pundits & presenter were doing the whole 'Slovakia? is that a real country' bollocks and when Lee Dixon or someone piped up in the vaguest possible terms that he'd 'heard' that Marek Hamsik was 'a useful player' Shearer, as animated as i've ever seen him, was leaping to mock the guy for wasting valuable golfing time doing his job.

I hope he lives a long and fruitful life but then on dying finds out that God is a Catholic God and he's wearing a shirt with 'LENNON 18' on the back and he's mad as hell stroking his beard with rage and he punts Wor Al back down to hell, which coincidentally is a sofa with Mark Lawrenson on it that you can never leave.

No idea where else to put this article about the West Ham fan Harry Redknapp plucked out of the stands and put on the pitch in a pre-season game against Oxford. It's loving amazing and awe-inspiring and :unsmith:: http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/05/harry-redknapp-played-fan-west-ham

that's a weird article: credits transfers from like 2 years after this incident as happening before Redknapp took over just to fit a 'football was changing, too many foreigners' bit in that comes from nowhere and wasn't remotely true in 1994.

He might. In MLS, there have been a couple incidents where a player has gotten suspended and injured at the sametime and his ban wasn't enforced until he was healthy again. Beckham got his 5th yellow and was injured later in the game. He sat out his injury time plus the 1 game for yellow accumulation.

this is perhaps one of the stupidest things ever done by a league
