Football Discussion

At Selhurst Park years before the Taylor Report came into action there, There used to be (at least) two terrace ends at the Holmesdale Road and the Whitehorse lane ends, but seating was an alternative in the Main stand and the Arthur Wait stand (I think). Grounds wouldn't be 100% terraced, some seating would still be available mainly for those who are less able or don't want to stand. I would love to have terracing back, to me going to a football match without an atmosphere is like having cereal without milk, it's nowhere near as good In my opinion.

A good example of wanting terracing back is when Coventry converted their Highfield Road stadium to all seater in the 80's (before Hillsborough) however Coventry fans were outraged and wanted the terracing back, as the atmosphere was dying and crowds were lower. They (The terraces) eventually came back but of course went again for obvious reasons.

And then Coventry moved to the Ricoh, gaining an average attendance of 8 people! :p (a little dig at the Cov scums shoddy attendances is always required!)

Haha What a support! xD Also Rob, since Cov maybe kicked out of the Ricoh, here's a few options as to where they could play in the mean time...

Nuneaton Town's Stadium

Hinkley United's Ground

Coventry RFC's Ground

But even with those options, they still wouldn't be able to fill those if they played there! xD
 
Apparently there's a school playing field going spare just on the outskirts of Coventry, they could well be playing there! :p

And on a side note, the record attendance at Hinkley's ground is for a pre-season friendly against Leicester, comprising of mostly Leicester fans, just thought I'd throw that one out there! ;)
 
Tonight two of my local teams Lincoln City (imps) and Manfield Town (Stags) are playing each other to decide who plays Liverpool at home, it would mean alot to which ever team got it as it would be atleast 1/4 million in revenue. I don't know who I want to win as I have friends who support both teams and both of them deserve it.
 
Pretty happy with both results, firstly Scunny always seems to do well against London clubs (For example, Palace. ;) ) but I wasn't expecting us to get a decent win tbh, although we need a lot for performances like that if we're going to stay up.

As for Everton, Stoke's always a tough place to go so can't complain about the result (Another poor ref display, however, I'm more than happy to complain about - About the 10th time this season we've been cheated out of a penalty.). Fellaini was lucky to not get sent off, and I think he was stupid for doing it, but worse things have been done this season that have gone unpunished, so I'll let it pass. :)

Although If we'd play you now, we'd beat you ;)

Mate, the way we're playing now, Zaha on his own could beat us. :p
 
Just wanna pop this in here before today's matches are played:

7TH IN THE TABLE!!!!

Cracking atmosphere at Carrow Road yesterday too! Was pretty funny to hear some of the creative old chants of past players being sung by the Barclay for the sheer hell of it :p

Russia do not deserve the World Cup. I'm convinced they got it because of oil - the same goes for Qatar - and this latest piece of news only makes me think even more that it should have been given to anyone but Russia.
 
Didn't Sepp Blatter tell people not to be/act gay in Qatar?

FIFA are a bunch of idiots... No two ways about it... Money focused and crap at every decision ever... Sooner Blatter and Platini vanish the better (only if they're replaced by sensible people, which won't happen)...
 
So the Champions League draw has been made, and is as follows:

Galatasaray v Schalke
Celtic v Juventus
Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund
AC Milan v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Manchester United
Valencia v Paris St Germain
Porto v Málaga

Of all the teams United could have been drawn against, we end up with the one we really didn't want. :p On a different note, tough draws for the other British teams as well.
