Its called tongue in cheek humour...

A joke

Dont reply if you dont know what your talking about, perhaps you may learn something.

I won lots of awards and stuff, but the odd thing is i never remember the trophies or the winning of games, its mostly the praise i used to get from people who knew the game that really humbled me. I remember a chap who was once a coach for the Leeds United youth team came upto me and said he hasnt seen anyone as quick and techniquely gifted as me since Scott Sellers (80's and early 90's footballer), and gave me a big slap on the back, still makes me smile now.

On a similar occasion we were playing the number one school in the area (we always came second) and my rival nemisis, a lad called Darren, who was the best striker id ever played against as a youth. He was tall, exceptionally quick, strong, good in the air, just a very very good player. I always played centre back for the school team and before the game the lads decided i should man mark him on the theory that if he cant play, their team cant play. So i did, and it was possibly the best performance i can recall, he hardly got a touch, and ended up cursing all his teammates(by then we were a couple of goals up) and then i knew it was all over. His dad, and the manager of the opposition came up to me and both congratulated me, and even a very angry darren, came upto me and asked me to join his saturday league team, and best of all i got a bucket of water thrown over me too by my manager!

I never got the chance to be a pro, never had a trail, or even a scout come upto me and ask my name, but everyone that i still see these days, dads, ex teammates etc, cant believe i never got the chance. The weird thing is a lad who lived down my road, who always used to get hammered by me at football is now playing for Shrewsbury Town!!! GAH! Getting paid £2'000 a week! I gave up playing for my education in the end, but theres always that part in the back of your brain that says "If only.."

Oh well.....im a Blackburn fan btw! Born and bred!

So let's get this clear. You start a thread and then can't be bothered to read the responses? :inquisitive:

Please friends, let's congratulate Sevilla on their superb 4-0 UEFA final win over M'boro and forget about the rest. ~:grouphug:

Sorry, but i cant read through all of these some 200 posts. I post in other threads and come here periodically, if i read all the posts in every forum i started or posted then i wouldnt have time to do anything else. Maybe some of you can do that, but i have too many other things to take care of.

O my god thats is hilarious, i have never heard that one before. It is so original, did u think of that all on your own? Lmao. You are funnier than Dane Cook. You should be on comedy central you are so funny!

Gentlemen, I have a useless dagger here, which I can swing like a cruel pirate threatening the all in the tavern, however make sure that this level has bosses.

Please.

Edit: Oh and being a M'boro and Juninho fan, I was disappointed to see them getting crashed and burnt by Sevilla. Gah, if only Juninho was still young enough to play for M'Boro..

Notwithstanding my murder at the hands of spurs fans (reports of my death being greatly exaggerated etc etc) I'm back to say I DO have a soft spot for Middlesbrough, ever since Priestfield stadium (home of the not too mighty Gillingham FC, my team and home town) was voted the worst football ground in the country, and the Observer sent a journalist to investigate. His opening remark in his report was the classic:

"Gillingham makes Middlesbrough look like Monte Carlo".

I want that on a T shirt.

We crap towns need to stick together. Even if they are bunch of northern monkeys.

Hell fire Gillingham must be bad if it makes 'boro look like the Riviera!!!! :sweatdrop:

My best mate (also best man to my first marriage) was born in Gillingham (service family) and he supports Kent in cricket, however he does have some sense as he supports Bolton at footy.

I'd love to congratulate Savilla for winning the waffa cup. I'd like to commiserate with 'boro, unfortunately I can't as I'm still too busy laughing at them getting a 4-0 drubbing. I hate them with a passion. :laugh4:

Northern monkey throws bananas at EA the southern poof....:laugh4:

Maresca was on a show indeed. After his tremendously-timed 2nd goal, in a position where his teammates were in much mroe comfortable position, he tried another strike that would make him a remarkable figure in UEFA Cup finals history. He failed though.

Dutch tv had some great shots of a man - a Sevilla fan - who completely broke down after they scored the first goal, seriously I wouldn't have been that happy had Ajax won the CL !

Also congrats Sevilla, they played well and deserved the win.

:balloon2:

Yeah I saw him too..He was shedding tears after Sevilla 's second goal. He was on air on every other goal afterwards. Football is the modern day battle in which no blood or life is sacrificed and that you rejoice in every ways of expression after your men's victory ~:)

Gah, that modern day rhetoric about football..

I have friends who are not football fans at all but waiting eagerly for that gigantic fest called "World Cup". Football is bloody alive. :2thumbsup: Russian kingpins can't change that.

Hehe. It`s not only Chelsea, but every team. I mean: half of a team these days are made up of foreign players, and almost no players from the city it represents. And where does a club end up without money? Nowhere.

Football has died. :inquisitive:

Looks like Ballack and Shevchenko are joining Chelsea.

I guess we can safely say theyve already won next season then. :shame:

You sure aobut Shevchenko ?

I thought he wanted to finish in Milan, no matter what...

It was something I respected him for, declining money just to be able to end his carreer with Milan.

:balloon2:

:sweatdrop: I really hope he doesnt goto Chelsea, but then again if he joins, it will leave Eidur Gudjonsson to join Blackburn.

Nooooo!!!!!!...he'll get one hell of reception At the Reebok if he does.

I wouldnt worry too much InsaneApache! I doubt Eidur would leave the comforts of London to move upto a small coal mining town in Lancashire :laugh4:

Id like to dedicate this video to my friends from Bolton and Burnley.

Aah, Viking, I don't refuse that footbal has turned into an industry. We already know that Arsenal had bought Junichi Inamoto to make some Far Eastern fame -just like Real Madrid does. However this does not mean that football has turned into a money-fed zombie. I am still amazed at Greece 's wonderful teamwork in Euro '04. Still it is Calais that deserves the respect for their France Cup runner-up position some year ago while they were competing in 3rd league.

..I can only be closer to your conclusion in case Sheva leaves for Chelsea..And I don't believe he will.:2thumbsup:

For Eidur, he can't be as good as Solskjær who was the best bench player in the world, however he surely is a runner-up ~:)
