Perhaps you should've read the post before Jah's. This thread is crap, I don't deny it. I also dont deny that I'm I plastic fan, because frankly, I'm not sure what it means. But you're obviously hard core and genuine, so well done you, you clearly support your team properly, whatever that means. As for the biggest arsehole on this forum, there is plenty of competition for that spot, several of whom are regular posters on this very thread. At least the person you're talking about doesn't try to pretend anything.

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the Stoke style of football but they seemed first to every challenge and on occasions seemed to have an entire Garrison in midfield, plus the atmosphere seemed electric, something rare these days.


I am unhappy with one thing though. The use of a towel so that Delap can bung it in with more force than usual. I don't have problem with the tactic, just the fact that the ball is made more useable for hands prior to its lobbing.


Just seems wrong, if its wet so what, it's meant to be kicked.

Indeed, Scholes was fortunate. And he has never been able to tackle and has never learnt, but is still touted as the next best thing since the second coming of Christ. Anyway,the FA cup draw looks exciting. To quote one of the the more venerable EDFers, YAWN.

They got told to be fair they have to give the towel to the other team too.



While I'm here it may not have been a great win but COME ON CITY! Shame I'll be on the other side of the world for the game..

Arsenal missed a chance on Saturday. Utd played five full backs and a midfield made up with three defenders but Arsenal never looked like winning, really missing a Viera or Adams to rally the troops.


Guess Arsenal would want Utd to win against Marseille tomorrow, Utd would have to play Arsenal and Chelsea after the Champions League semi-final games and the number of matches and injuries might count against them. Still a very good chance for Arsenal to win the league if they can regain their confidence.


Saw Palace lose away - again! Home form as good as Leeds, but away form the worst in the whole of the football league, at least we are only losing by one goal now rather than three or four.

???s and Keef, hope neither of you leave the thread.

As for 'plastic fans' etc. not sure who it was aimed at but think it's out of order.


At school you were a plastic fan if you didn't go the match and thus, your opinion on anything football was discredited regardless of your passion. Many kids didn't go to the match simply because they couldn't afford it.


I took this belief with me to university, (ie don't go to the match you're no fan, don't come from the town, you're a glory hunter) where, thankfully I met enough people to make me realise that overall, these claims are nonsense.

Some of the most passionate, ardent football fans I have met (unfortunately Liverpool)aren't from the city. Two of the lads I go to Everton games with are from Hertfordshire, they are both more knowledgeable and passionate about the club than I am.


It's easy enough to spot a bullshitter but to discredit everyone who neither goes to the match or hails from the appropriate town as plastic, or, unworthy of debate is a disservice to many.


That said, I do love a chorus of, 'can you spot the scouser in the kop'.

Manchester United are facing a battle to keep Nani, with the Portuguese winger telling close friends he is considering a new challenge after the Red Devils rejected his request to discuss a new contract and wage rise. The 24-year-old is only 12 months into a new four-year contract.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him

      It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?

      I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
