[enigma]

It's all getting a bit Brexity in here. People Shaking their fists at all that foreign muck.

"Egg and chips all round por favor"

"And don't be shy with the gammon"

Are you really implying that posters are some sort of racist / bigots because they have either pointed out that some continental clubs get a lot of coverage in some of our press or that they aren't personally interested in other countries' football leagues?

I'm sure you're posting in jest, but even so, you are really stretching for humour here and if your comment was aimed at me I wouldn't be happy about it.

No I'm not implying that and you know full well I'm not. The posters were doing more than pointing out what you say, they were jokingly denigrating those that are interested in continental football. (Again as you well know but chose to ignore) I responded in kind.

I'm also curious where any implied accusations of racism or bigotry were. Even ones in jest.

Come on Dave, 'Brexity' and 'Gammon' are common references to bigoted opinions.

I agree a lot of the media have a massive blind spot called "The Midlands". Does that make me a foaming mouthed bigot? PS I do love a spot of gammon.

 I assumed he was channelling the Mr Egg menu.

I’m not particularly interested in how Barcelona and Real Madrid are getting on, but I am interested in continental football in general. I don’t think this necessarily makes me a hipster.


But I am one ;-)

Not sure what the fuss is about. I was at a Barcelona game at the Nou Camp back in March and most people in the crowd didn’t give a shit about the game. Their games seem to be an excuse to sell merchandise to tourists.

I went for my 40th Birthday to a game on a sunday night up in the Gods and it was all tourists

How are Barcelona and Real Madrid getting on?

How are Barcelona and Real Madrid getting on?

They’re both in separate rooms and refusing to talk to one another.

[Sexual Ealing]

FK Partizani keep trying to make me interested in them but I'm not having it. If you're not Stalybridge Celtic you can jog on.

Barcelona are renovating their ground, knocking down lots of it and rebuilding over the remaining structure at a cost of around a billion quid. The capacity will be 105,000 after completion. A £200m sponsorship deal is in place at the 'Spotify Camp Nou'. In the meantime, they are playing their games at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium until the 25-26 season when they will return to the Nou Camp at reduced capacity (60k I think) while the last of the renovation work is done.

Apart from that it is fairly quiet.

 So if the red cnuts did not come back and spawn a late win - would it of been the game of the day?

I think not. The press narrative to get them some sort of traction is disgusting why dont they just accept they have had their day
