Anyone watching this one today? should be a good game!

Think I'm going to go down the pub and watch it. Although I can't really be bothered now.

I've got 50p on Manure to win 2-1 with Cuntiano Ronalcunt scoring first.

is that a banksy piece in your avatar?

Im going for a 1-1 draw today.

I might stop round my dad's for a touch of paella before wandering round to the pub to watch the game. That's if there's any left anyway.

Twas a good game.

Still don't think Man Utd will surrender the top spot but Arsenal's win makes it a little bit more interesting.

Watched it down the Union (which turned out to be a rubbish atmosphere).  Made me laugh though.  I heard 3 chants sung by the Arsenal fans:  "Arsenal, Arsenal FC, we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen..." - Sung just before the game kicked off, then when they went 2-1 up; and "Who are ya, who are ya?" Also sung when they went 2-1 up.  
An absolute disgrace in my opinion!

I was in my student union... Atmosphere was pretty good as their was a mix of both fans.

There was this one guy in a United shirt throughout the game heckled Arsenal and everything they did... When Henry scored the Arsenal fans basically celebrated in his general direction... It was pretty amusing.

i bet they love watching games on TV week in week out. nothing like the real thing. but then  they wouldn't know that would they?

Agreed. Many Premiership football fans (those who don't go) might as well call it a Soap Opera.

I went to the local and watched it.

Someone I know turned up and she asked me who I supported. I said Swindon, which gained a reaction from her - she burst into laughter. When I asked how often she goes to see Manure, she went a bit quiet and mumbled "never".
Anyway I'm glad Arsenal won, she went home to watch her pooey game there and I'm glad they lost.

I get that quite a bit too - I'm far harsher in my reply though! How fucking dare some guy from Dorset who's never been further north than Gloucestershire mock me because their brand name are good.

They cannot comprehend why anyone would follow a lower league team.

Same goes over here.  Most people expect an answer of a Premiership Team and when they heard Swindon they're like, wheres Swindon etc. and drag up when we were in the Prem and so on.  The positive however is now many people I have met have said they will from now on always look out for Swindon, 2nd team and all that.

They are just saying that,they are Fatburying you 8)

 I think I'll start using this as a chat up line....hi my name's Reg.....do you fancy a bit of Fatburying.

My best mate is a Man United fan - Fair enough he goes to most of the games home and abroad.

He text me after one of our Christmas wins which went along the lines of...

"I celebrated when the Swindon goal came through on SSN - You bastard"

 :soapy tit wank:

Pfft, armchair fan!

I bumped into a lad in a Swindon shirt in Auckland, and I would have kissed him if he wasn't with his girlfriend :D

I have not met one.  I always said if I saw one in Sydney I would run up to whoever it was male/female and plant a big kiss on them!

There are a lot of Reading shirts floating about but other than that met a few from Oxford, Grimsby, quite a few from Lincoln and Stoke!

Swindon fans where are you!  :cry:

Readin fans seem to follow me wherever I go.  Thankfully I don't mind them really, and they're easy to wind up about Swindon.  [Touch wood] I've never met an Oxford fan.

Did you go to Circular Quay for the New Years celebrations?

I did indeed go to Circular Quay for New Years, Macquaries point I think it was! Queued for ages to get in but well worth it as the fireworks were brilliant, especially as it was the 75th Anniversary of the Harbour Bridge.

Theres cases of legionnaires around there at the moment though so trying to keep away!

How come you havent bumped into Onion Jimbo?

 :soapy tit wank:
