anyone actually regularily attend games, or is this the view of a whole load of teletext fans???

I've been to Anfield a few times, but it's pretty expensive, and getting tickets for good games can be quite difficult. It's magical though.

I've been to quite a few Chesterfield home games this season, but the ticket prices are really expensive, which puts me off.

Plus the fact that they ABSOLUTELY SUCK!

Going to poor teams games is often a saddening experience. I used to go to Exeter games, awful. Apart from the pitch invasion at the last game of the season, and goading the away fans.

Also been in a directors box at Torquay United, we got to pick man of the match and everything, bwahaha.

Not regularly but I try and go when I can afford it (not often at all at the moment then) and when the tickets haven't sold out. The last game I went to was Arsenal (their last season at Highbury) and the only reason I got a ticket for that was through one of my gooner mates who had a spare and let me have it cheap.

I'm going to watch the Blades get beat tomorrow.

...We're one nil down. This is horrible.

We're going to beat you in the play off finals, that is going to be so wonderful.

Or, we'll just go up in 2nd if we get our points back. Either way, it'll be sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Blades beat Bristol City 2-1.

Football is shit. You should just watch rugby instead. It actually involves skill and the players aren't over-paid women that need a fucking reality check. Honestly, I was watching the end of the Chelsea - Man U game today and what players can get away with in talking back to the referee is fucking obscene.

"Oooh be nice to the referee!!" - Shut it, you puff!

It actually involves skill

Have you ever watched the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo play? Obviously not, because they're absolutely amazing. Any cunt can run into another cunt at full pelt, it doesn't take much.

What?!

All Ronaldo does is run at full pelt at slow defenders. OK, the boy's got skills but it's so much easier to control a football than it is a rugby ball. I'd like to see him do anything that Shane Williams couldn't.

Rugby players are also expected to do way more things than a football player and with less time to think about them. Have you ever tried drop-kicking a rugby ball? It's fucking brick if you haven't done it before. Then you get players like Francois Steyn that can score drop goals from 55 metres and penalties from 60. On last week's evidence, Ronaldo can't score them from 12 yards.

With football, you don't need as coherent a strategy or team work as rugby. A game of football, on the other hand, can come down to a moment of genius from one player. Sure enough, in rugby you get players that'll do something completely amazing but it'll seldom win the game.

In summation, any tit can play football hence why all football players are tits and working-class. However, you need brains to play rugby and that's why all rugby players have been to Uni and pronounce words properly.

And with regards to the ref, a good scrum half will tend to try and influence him but you'll rarely see a rugby player showing the complete attitude problem that football players tend to have.

I'm not sure if I've posted pro-rugby rhetoric in this thread before. I think we had a different football thread in which I did. I can't be ringed checking to be honest.
