Where Are The Sports Fans?

I never got an accent in the first place, my parents are sweaty socks and moved back up before I could speak, but I go to The Den semi regularly, have an uncle living in Bermondsey though.

I went to the old Den once, for a league cup match that Arsenal won on penalties. It was without a doubt the most intimidating and frightening experience I've ever had at a football match in this country (the UEFA cup final v Galatasary in Copenhagen was worse as large numbers of Turks were openly walking around with knifes, threatening to stab everyone & anyone).

There's a reason you don't go saaf of the river after dark.

 
Yeah,as the old saying/song goes, "always look out for turks carrying knives". I was only at the old Den 4 or 5 times, and only with my Uncle as I was a still a little bit young. Been down, 6 times this season, and haven't seen a win yet, seen plenty of insipid defeats though........

It's looking grim this year too

 
I see Millwall lost today, you're right, it's looking bleak this season. The Championship is a tough old league and they must have one of the smallest budgets.

Tip top 2earls my old China! As an admittedly crap reward, I will tell you that a Gooner is a nickname for a supporter (fan) of one of Londons less well known football teams, Arsenal Football Club, possibly derived from the club's nickname of "The Gunners ", though I may be incorrect in that, I am sure Tom can confirm or correct me! A brummie is a slang description(non offensive and used proudly by the locals themselves) for a native of Birmingham, England. ;-)

Less well known football teams?!?

Not sure that one is correct, I'd say the biggest team from the biggest capital in Europe would be a better description. Yes, Gooner comes from Gunners. The hooligan element of the Arsenal support in the 70's called themselves the Gooners, but now it's a term used to describe all Arsenal fans.

Yeah Tom! I had a feeling the old hooly mob would have an influence too, but I wasn't 100% about it.Sorry, couldn't resist the "less well known " bit!!!! ;-)

Anyway, we're the biggest club in SE16. Hahaha

I used to be a professional hockey player but then I had to quit because all of the gay sex, transexual pornography and money laundering that I got into. Also, all the other players would laugh at my extremely small micro penis and it would make me cry.

But, seriously -- professional hockey: anyone can do it, it's just that easy. All you gotta do is say "I was a professional hockey player." And then, bam! You are one.

Chargers fan here too. Also 49ers but live in the SoCal area.

I casually like the Padres and went to their last World Series against the Yankees where they got swept. That was miserable.

Charger fan right here! Same with Padres. I was dating a huge padre fan at the time of that World Series and we had tickets. It was definitely a depressing series.

  1. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah it was definitely a hold. Can't blame the refs for calling it. But I've seen many sketchy calls in the past to help the spread or over/under lol.
  2. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Wonder how much money was impacted by that last touchdown and holding call back. The refs were flirting with the over/under payoffs… that flag either cost a lot people some money or won them a bunch. But I guess you can’t say it was a bad call, just a very impactful one.
  3. shoutback @ shoutback: Fucking A nfl season is over :( Those were by and far the best teams this season. That Elite D will just stifle mofos. And ya gotta give Darnold his flowers for taking care of the football. That was professional.
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: Too bad that football season is over now
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: Seahawks offense left more to be desired (esp during first half) but patriots offense was just abysmal. A win is a win though. Squawk squawk!
  6. shoutback @ shoutback: Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I seem to have left a little squawk here and little squawk there
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hey now @tiquanunderwood split the uprights my boy 😂 😂 jp homie
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: I want Darnold to win it so bad classy guy all he’s been through
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: LETS GO HAWKS F**K THE PATSIES
  10. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I have a girl coming over that's pretty cool. Besides that just chillin and making some food,.
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: I have tix to the Saints and Colts superbowl but sold them.
