Presumably they deliberately gave everybody people who weren't very likely to score at all, and we got David. I still remember us all going mental when he scored that goal, which seems like a bit of an overreaction looking back now. Still, I guess £10 was a lot of money back then...

That's soooo cool and funny, Jon! Not sure if Dave would appreciate the story or not though if I was to tell him.

(BTW £10 is fab! Even nowadays I still think of how far a tenner can stretch for an emergency essential shop [fruit, veg, bread, marg, cereal, baked beans, tin tomoatoes, pasta, fruit juice, etc], when at other times it can be blown quickly on only a bottle of wine and some Kettle Chips for a Friday night. )

Just realised I'd not posted on this thread!

The might Greens - Plymouth Argyle!! We're the best team for at least a 3 hour drive in any direction!!

Probably - fairly unique for a Scotland goal to be so enthusiastically applauded by a bunch of Englanders!

I had a car like that once ...

don't have much to add other than: LIVERPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
always willing to discuss anything football (particularly current Premiership race) if Countdown ever gets boring.

I know, I know. Knew I'd get called up on that!
I didn't even mean it to be honest.

I think we can all be thankful that there's plenty of time in the day for Countdown and football.
I'm not going to incur any more wrath by telling you which I'd choose if I had to give one up...

Well... approx 99% of the forumites will be thankful

Hate Chelsea. Hate Liverpool more. Don't mind Arsenal so much.

I am new to this forum, but straight away I agree with Junaid, it's Man.United all the way. Europe, England and the F.A cup will be conquered this year, just ike 1999

You had your chance at that last season and failed miserabley (if you can call winning both the league and Champions League a miserable failure).

You're all wrong. Juande Ramos will win the Champions League with Real Madrid, purely for the irony. Oh and West Ham will win everything else (minus any trophies/money/games/pride/survival).

I personally can't wait for this.

I'm a Southampton supporter. At least I'm not the only one on this board.

No choice. Family have supported Fulham since the nineteenth century. It is branded onto us at birth...

Football doesnt suck. Thinking you've achieved something when 11 people you dont know beat 11 other people you dont know in a contest you have no influence on, that sucks.

Shrewsbury town for me, but i am also a huge darts fan

I've traditionally always followed Liverpool, but I don't care about any particular team enough to say I support them.

I'm a Leeds Rhinos fan in rugby league, but even that is superseded by my support for almost any perceived underdog. Sport thrives on uncertainty, and it feels like there's less than ever at the moment which saddens me.

Oh, and Edinburgh Mavericks Korfball Club of course.

Rangers F.C for me ( Glasgow not Queens Park!). It's been a turbulent time for Rangers fans over the past few years but things are beginning to look up a bit.

I used to like watching Football until those big grown men starting kissing each other when a goal was scored.

I guess you could watch womans football instead.

I have been a Man U supporter since 1958 being lucky enough to see the great Charlton Best and Law era and now after a lengthy gap of about twenty odd years basking in the continued dominance of the Premiership.(some may disagree but statistics dont lie????)

However living in the ex Lancashire now Cheshire town of Warrington I am a Wire sorry Wolves supporter. They are unfortunately not as successful as MU but this could be the season. I vaguely remember the great Brian Bevan and we did have the marvelous Jim Challinor sadly departed from this earth though his name lives on by his widow Wendy and Neil his son who run a sports shop a mere two hundred yards from where I live.

It would be nice to see Warrington getting somewhere near the grand final - they've had way too little success in the last few decades.

I support the 2nd best team in the country at the moment- Leicester City

I guess you could watch women's football instead.

Why can't we have mixed football teams? Then when a goal is scored, we can watch sexual orgies, going on all over the field. (Is that bad grammar? Should it be "one" Orgie to cover all the sexual activity). In any case, It's bound to be more exciting than the football we watch.
