Hi,
I have never been to a football match in my life and in asking this I will probably sound really thick....:blushing:
Really don't understand football so can anyone explain,united are playing spurs in the carling cup final on March 1st, but spurs are a lot further down the league table than united so why are they in the final? Never followed football before so really don't know but doesn't make a lot of sense to me....Is the carling cup completly diffrent to league, the more I think about it the more confused I become!

I will keep reading that until I fully understand!
Thankyou
Jackie
like me asking.....can anyone tell me how to do the ironing !!!!
hahahahahhaa
I have no intention of carrying on this thread and actually find that remark quite rude. It was just something that I wanted to find out, as I have never followed football how would I know. As you wear clothes everyday you would obviously know how to iron them................:001_rolleyes:
Jackie
Try telling my daughters that...
Both have left home, one is married and one is living over the brush.
So she doesn't know what a brush is for either
just for your info . im the one that does the ironing in our house......
You have little money and maybe only 10,000 active fans yet are able to borrow £30m to build a new stadium seating 30,000 (Derby). You can spend £100m on a team that wins nothing (Leeds & Newcastle). There's a global financial crisis but you still want to pay over £100m for one person and pay him £100m in wages over four years (Man City/Kaka). You can be employed to build a successful team, fail miserably and step down/get sacked but still walk away with £5m in compensation (Sven). You can savagely attack someone on a football field causing them permanent injury, admit to your pre-meditated crime in a book and yet the police do nothing (Roy Keane, truly the thickest footballer that ever lived).
It seems the only prerequisite for being directly involved in the football industry is that you have to be thick with both money and other worldly matters.
I love football but hate footballers...
Also grown men running around spitting, having played football for years up to my early twenties, never noticed the need to 'gob' all over the place. Do that on the street in front of a copper and see what happens (or at least in theory what should happen)

I feel so much better now, thanks Robert
Jackie :thumbup:
Now that's a real mans game. Those namby pampy poofter footballers wouldn't last 30 seconds in a real mans game......lol
Men happily kissing other men when they're happy
Men crying on the pitch to other men when they're sad
Men paying to watch other men do both of the above
Now ballet's all about artistry and strength, aesthetical beauty, a much higher physical skill - but even better, millions of women all wanting to bed the few men who can do it!
How women see football;
22 grown men kicking a bag of wind around a pitch
Two teams of 20 other men fawning over all the 22 men on the pitch
3 grown men watching over all of them in case they have temper tantrums
50,000 people paying £30 each to watch the other 25 men on the pitch
100,000m people watching the other 50,065 people in the stadium
Finding this quite funny now......sorry Mark but this thread seems to be carrying on all on its own
Jackie
Hmm
Farmer I totally agree, often find myself amused watching the footballers goal celebrations, and imagining seeing the same reaction to a try on the rugby pitch! V amusing
Totally with you on this one give me a rugby team any day:001_tt2:
(Gavin Henson vs Tyson is actually quite an appealing thought).
Tougher competitors does not a better sport make.
Rugby's still a stop start load of tedious sh*te and football still wipes the floor with it is as a form of entertainment.
Rugger players have bigger biceps though eh?!!
lol
hahahahahaha....how gay could that sound!
the only reason spurs are so far down the table is due to a bad start to the season - selling best strikers (berbatova and keane) and at that time having a rubbish manager.
now the team is improving, we have the confidence and ability to win games again.
come on you spurs!
sorry if i offend any man utd supporters!!

The only reason for your bad start was because you were rubbish….even now you can't beat 10 man Arsenal at home…so you may be improving, but seeing how rubbish you were at the beginning of the season, that doesn't say much
The best has to Aston Villa breaking into the top four though. My dream is that they stay there and we end up having the Arsenal World XI fight Chelski for 4th place.
Quality
Who remembers four or five years ago when it was all Arsenal or Chelsea and many were predicting the dominance of United was over?
okay we didnt win against arsenal - had a lot more chances than them.
'cos they only had ten men!! :w00t:
…and I thought it was 2-1, not 4-2??? :confused1:
