tenzin Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Prem football is sterile in terms of atmosphere and massivley OTT with the prices I follow the " POSH and sometimes me and a few pals put on some cracking visual displays Stewards cluck like a cockerla when we do though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clash City Rocker Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yep support your local team, fortunately my local team is the team. You not studying geography this year? I think that you'd have to drive past Redditch United or Solihull Moors to get to V*ll* P*rk, possibly even Coventry City is closer to Stratford than Birmingham is!! Closest to Stratford must be Evesham United who coincidently "ground share" with Worcester City so perhaps a visit to Worcester's St Georges Lane to support your "local" team might happen soon?? ps do you know Ebbsfleet are live on setanta this week?

Clash City Rocker Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 These are real football fans Cool Photo, though not at Peterborough? This is quite sad of me Huddersfield Town or Accrington Stanley away? My first guess being Barnsley but I'm sure their all seated now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clash City Rocker Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I saw Worcester City play @ Accrington in the FA Cup 1st round a couple of seasons ago (draw 2-2) beat them in the replay. It was the season Accrington got promoted into the league. The second round we got a home tie to Huddersfield and lost 1-0 live on MOTD. The 3rd round draw was made straight after the final whistle and Huddersfield who we'd just lost to got Chelsea at Stamford bridge. Looking at the 2nd Photo, did you get very wet!!!!

Gooner Boy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 This made me laugh, taken from today's BBC Sport gossip column Currently injured Wayne Rooney has gone back to studying for his GCSEs.

Guest Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 And it's about time we updated the table.... this is two rounds of predictions - outstanding performer being Dan - who (for the first time in a very long time) totally out-predicted Debs!! Debs, though, has slightly stretched her lead - so is still top - and still in the Princess booth waiting to grab Phil's tiara.... the table as it stands... Debs -68 Helen - 63 Lorna - 63 Chelsea - 60 Martin – 59 Dan – 53 Clash – 51 Phil - 48 Emma - 45 Ali - 39 Annie - 33 If Tom wants to join in - then I can give him a leg up and add him in on the same number of points s AnnieP.... see how high he can climb???

Gooner Boy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well, Gooner Boy and Gooner Girl will be watching Sevilla v "Ooops, word censored!"nal with great interest tonight (unfortunately not in Sevilla). There's nothing like cheering your side on in the Champions League. Apparently Gallas is being rested tonight, so he should be nice and fresh for the hattrick he's going to get on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Awww Tom - i only agreed you could watch the game with me cos I thought you were whisking me off to a foreign country! Sigh... You only meant you were coming round mine on a wet dark tuesday night instead to watch the box?! But I'd already packed my bikini...

Once the game is over, I'll most likely have to run (or be driven?) home fairly swiftly so that I can get on with my essay about Brechtian stagecraft. Riveting.

The only word I have ever needed when encountering anyone who knows anything about Brecht (admittedly not very often!!) - is the word "Verfremdungseffekt" which, when spoken with authority and cod German accent usually moves the conversation on to lighter matters... so.. I fully expect you to weave the word into your essay (and add me to the footnotes...) actually... if footie is compared to a theatrical performance (to keep this on topic) - which is the most Brechtian experience - watching "Ooops, word censored!"nal or watching Bolton - which requires more stagecraft effort to shatter the suspension of disbelief??

I fully expect you to weave the word into your essay (and add me to the footnotes...) Haha, my essay is basically about Verfremdung and said 'effekt' and its been used to many times that I'm now just shortening it to V-effekt. I've also used the exciting terms 'Gestus' and 'Lehrstucke', whilst also making reference to the use of humour in Brecht's Die Mutter. It's certainly testing my A-Level knowledge of German, if nothing else. if footie is compared to a theatrical performance (to keep this on topic) - which is the most Brechtian experience - watching "Ooops, word censored!"nal or watching Bolton - which requires more stagecraft effort to shatter the suspension of disbelief??

Actually I prefer the much more expressive (and school-boy) contraction: VD-effekt Speaking of disbelief, have you got over the fact that Bolton won a game on Saturday, Phil? Watching Bolton is a constant suspension of disbelief - I just can't believe it can get any worse.... Oh "Ooops, word censored!" - it can!!! another german word to get in there - see if u can squeeze it in - is my favourite german word - luftkissenfahrzeug - hovercraft - literally (I think) "air-kissing-flying-thing" fav useful german word - schadenfreude - and it's modern-day derivative (uttered when anything bad happens to manU) - schadenfreudtastic! anyway... saw this and thought of you Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
