there aren't many things that sound less fun than reading a referee's autobiography, but if it's just him giving out about which players were the biggest dickheads for 300 pages then I'm considering it

remembering the time that clattenburg got suspended for a year because he told someone that they should think about their family before launching any legal action (because his lawyer was extremely expensive), and they tried to construe it as a threat to show up at the next game with the wife's face sewn to a football

Jeff Winter's autobiography is pretty fun to read, lots on the Man U v Arsenal/Fergie v Wenger feud plus he sticks the boot into a fair few players as well

There’s no hey in it, it’s just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Also do fans outside the UK do the thing where we go ‘whooooooooooo you’re poo poo’ at the away keeper when they take a goal kick? Or sometimes ‘you poo poo bastard’.

Such a friendly bunch :v:

Only usually at lower league level. You often see it when a premier league team plays away to a team 6 divisions beneath them in the FA Cup, it's on telly and the home ground looks like someone's back garden.

Funny, though.

To be fair this was only the third time we've played them as they never used to qualify/get out of the group stages

I'm not sure what you're getting at, but it would also be funny to see people holding up a banner saying COME ON OUR BOYS op. I've never seen such a banner on live TV.

It's usually "COME ON THE LADS" which is either even funnier or horrifying depending on your perspective

That was only a yellow card though

Probably because it was in the final.

In 2010, before VAR

And the ref was Howard Webb

spending my entire childhood in a golden era for Brazil where every player who came to Europe was unique and special (even the ones who played for Middlesbrough)

and then Kleberson and Roque Junior showing up and everyone simultaneously realising that Brazil were bad and fail, actually

Middlesbrough almost, but not quite signing Ronaldinho

Middlesbrough signing Ricardinho and him never making an appearance for us

Afonso Alves if we’re going for funny Brazilian Middlesbrough poo poo, a classic warning about Eredivisie strikers

I'll have you know Afonso Alves scored a hat-trick against football powerhouses Manchester City, becoming the first Brazilian footballer to score a hat trick in the Premier League in the process!

If we're going for funny Brazilian Middlesbrough players who actually played a game it's got to be World Cup winner Branco, who arrived as wide as he was tall
