The Football.....

[RoyPSB]

Sorry, but there are only one team that can be called the Bees, they play in black and amber and play at Underhill. We lost again, this time to Cheltenham at the weekend, so back to the bottom of the league.

Sorry but no. We are The Bees.

You could do with Martin Allen again! Hope you do stay up though - good luck for the rest of the season.

So go and support a local team then, a proper one like: http://www.mkwanderers.co.uk/.
Instead of one that has been parachuted in by money men.

You know what .... Support who you want and don't feel you have to explain it to others!!!!

Cheer up Chicken your hero and saviour Dalglish will be back to save you from another poor season until your owners realise he has more chips on his shoulder than a mcdonalds recruit and he gets the sack AGAIN. What a way to treat a "Kop Icon".

I really wonder why we need a tribal football thread on a predominantly cycling forum. It just agitates the fark out of usually sensible people. The forum is worse for it imo.

you are right Billy..... but the forum is predominantly male (sorry ladies) and men like to talk about other stuff, which includes football.
i have been as guilty as the next, it's tribal as you say

And the grammatically clueless no-marks from the 'home counties' who have cocked a leg over the 'success horse', as well as the sensible.

I hope a new record is top of your Christmas list.

You know, I've always thought your team was the one from where you were born. Don't tell me I've been suffering for no good reason....

i still have a soft spot for Hayes and Yeading United

I was always told you supported who your Dad supported or you got a beating and was shunned at family parties ??

So thats over 26,000 who have viewed and didn't reply. Sorry, just showing how 'popular' it is with statistics.

Totally agree if not interested then dont read it. However, the problem with football is its very tribalistic and i include myself in that. There are numerous football forums on the web that satisfy the needs for people who want to debate how good their team is without denegrating cyclechat. In fact this is one place i love to come to and avoid things other than cycling.
All the same i am not a moderator of this site and its just my personal opinion. No insult is intended Spartak.

It worked for son # 1.
he's now 26.
I started taking him to Chelsea when he was 6.
Chelsea were complete toilet then.
For the next 10 years or so he was one of only a couple of Chelsea supporters in his little league (Wimbledon).
He was ribbed mercilessly by Manure, Liverputz & Gooners.
I said to him on his birthday when he was about 10 did he wanted a Manure kit.
He looked at me and said yes please. I said not on your frigging life son.
He stayed Chelsea.....
The thing is at the age of 18 he moved to Torquay. He was then called a glory hunter for supporting Chelsea.

Son #2 who is 2&3/4's has a huge Chelsea flag in his bedroom since the day he was born.
Like his older brother, he will have no choice as to what team he supports.

It wasn't a complaint Mark more of a comment. A personal one at that
