Title: Ashes or Swindon win?
Post by: larwood on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 08:24:21
This to me is a harder thing to decide than the previous thread about england winning the world cup or us going up.To beat a aussie team with glen[cunt]mcgrath and shane[fat bastard]warne in it would be amazing,so i personally would choose that.Although i don't think either of us are going to win. :cry:

Swindon, every time.  Cricket just ain't that important.  Now a Scotland Grand Slam or a Swindon victory?

Promotion or the Ashes????

I think that's called a 'no brainer'!

No, I never ever get bored of football. I'm totally obsessed with it.

In my view there isnt another sport that gets even close to football. I watch a bit of rugby, boxing, athletics and even ice hockey if theres nothing else on, I just cant get into cricket really. it bores me and theres far too much stupid terminolgy involved eg silly mid on etc.

I don't know what that means either but I still watch cricket :D

If you're talking about 3 points for Swindon or an Ashes win, it's got to be the Ashes. If you mean promotion for Swindon, well, it's got to be promotion.

Losing at Colchester on a freezing December evening is better than the Ashes.

There are only two things in sport that I really, really, really care about when it comes to sport and I'm not playing. Football World Cup and the Ashes. Nothing comes close to them.

By the way, silly mid on is a fielding position. It's called 'silly' because its dangerous

It's a tough choice but I think I'd take the three points for Swindon.

I've considered how I felt this time last year, and how I have felt after losing Ashes in the past.

The footie wins it for me, not a day goes by I don't consider Swindon Town in some sense, but I generally only follow test cricket, so it's not so prevelant in my heart.

It would be great if we can do the Aussies over this summer though, and I hope to go out there for the next series, but nothing would compare to us doing a Luton next season.

Totally agree with this summation. Though i would settle for play-offs and an ashes draw..... :roll:

Although I do enjoy my cricket, I would have to say Swindon to go up as it has more of an effect on me (going to games, talking on forums etc.!)
