On the Ball (new Football Focus)

[Keef]

Good to see you on this thread SP, and a *lovely sentiment. (tu)

* One that I am feeling I need to make very clear I share.

[Keef]

So, Man U, Arsenal... Interesting!

[Annasfield]

Our banner from last night. Spent hours making this, but we got a mention in two papers, so the sore fingers and late nights were worth it.

Was going to post a picture of it, but the file is too large. Oh well.......

The Telegraph - Henry Winter

The Mirror - Oliver Holt

[Mick Mac]

What did the banner say Anna?

[Annasfield]

Defiance

[Keef]

Do you do clothing repairs by any chance?

[Annasfield]

No, but I met a lovely lady from this forum who went over my stiching with her sewing machine. Let me know if you need her number.

Second attempt, took this one at home on my phone.

[Mick Mac]

Yes - we can see it Anna - you are clearly very emotionally attached to LFC, and it would have been fitting if they had won last night.

[Keef]

Good work. I like the fact the A looks a bit like anarchy sign too! :)-D

[Ladygooner]

Well worth staying up til 4am to watch the Arsenal game - of course the main screen in the pub showed the Manu U game grrr!

Posting this here as well as the Wanted section. I have a single spare to the Semi-final this Saturday in the Arsenal end. Ace seats in block 120, 15 rows back. I only want face value, which is ?58 including all the rip-off booking fees and other bullsh1t. No probs if you are a Chav fan and want to come, just be aware that you are in the Arsenal end so no blue to be worn, or songs about flags.....

PM me if interested

2 mentions is good going. You never know it may become another "Joey ate the frogs legs"

[Annasfield]

Doubt it would reach that level, but was also in the Daily Post this morning.

Any Rugby fans out there who sup their pints of bitter and insist on how cultured and well behaved a sport it is, compared to football, just because they don't argue with the Referee!?

Just seen on SSN that West Ham are about to be bought out. Apparently it's in tomorrow's Guardian.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

West Ham United will be taken over by a consortium of international banks in the coming weeks. Icelandic government-appointed officials running the stricken investment bank Straumur are set to take control from Bjorgolfur ?Gudmundsson at Upton Park as they seek to recover the money lost in the collapse of that nation's economy.

*edited as no longer makes any sense*

[Keef]

Hmmm, and how do you feel being taken over by banks a the moment? Think I'd be nervous! Then again, it may end up being the best thing that's ever happened to the cu...

[mockney piers]

I had no idea you thought so ill of West Ham keef!!

[matthew123]

Oh dear looks like Big Sam and Fergie have got together to orchestrate a few headlines about Rafa being arrogant and disrespectful. As ever pots calling the kettle black...

I know he is in exile, but I wonder what Sandperson would say about which of Fergie and Rafa is the one cracking up now!?

[red devil]

Let it go Matthew...

[matthew123]

Haha, okay..

But rather bizarre that they both comment on same subject. Only last week Big Sam, before playing Liverpool, boasted about getting under skins of other managers but never being affected himself... I really don't know why Fergie has allowed himself to make such remarks before an FA Cup semi final, especially when he poked fun at Rafa doing same thing before 1st leg against Chelsea rather than concentrating on matter in hand.

[Keef]

Big Sam is a cnut!!! Can't stand the man, he has an incerdible ego, and has be ever ever backed it up Fergie at least has a record that can't be questioned. Big Sam has not!

Quite liked Moyes comments about Riley. Mind games at their finest.
