I'd imagine winning away to southampton would barely be enough to shake off the misery of being IN southampton to start with...
... Bloody Scummers

F1
that explains it.....

I'd rather bum around the house on a Sunday. Cook a roast, drink some beer, watch F1.
That's a real sport ;)

if, like me, you'd travelled down to southampton on sunday, to watch your team no doubt get beat again, like every time you've played there in the league for the past 32 bloody years, then you see your right-back power the ball into the goal from 35 yards, and you realise that - finally - you're going to win away at Southampton - then you'll understand.

Seems kind of tragic.
I guess I don't feel it, or get it. I like to see a match if it's England.. and "important"... But all the stuff that goes with it.. It's embarrassing. Grown men crying in the pub when England loose... elevating players to this god-like status.. crying foul when they up sticks and move to another team to earn a £million more like they wouldn't...
It's wierd.. it's unnatural.
Anyway... I've said my bit..

To some people football moves them more than design, art, music.
It's like when I watch a game with my wife and shout "What a ball!!!"
She want's to know why that ball is any better than another pass.... I can't explain, she doesn't get it.
You either feel it or you don't I guess.

the best cloughie story has to be the time he dropped martin o'neil to the reserves. he was furious so approached clough and said 'why am i playing in the seconds!?!?'. clough just looked at him and said 'because you're too good for the thirds'.
moth - there is a big difference between being passionate about something and taking something too seriously. it seems to me that it is *you* who takes it all too seriously.
- moth0
Why? Because it's Football. And everyone involved takes it far to seriously... which kind of kills it for me.
- soda0
why?

He was a genius, a flawed genius, but aren't they all?

Artists and Musicians can be a genius. So can scientists. I get tired of people in football being called that.Can we just they're talented?

my favourite Cloughie quote:
"It's a cup tie, 10 minutes to go, Forest are down 1 - 0 and they've used all thier subs.
For once in his life Stuart "Psycho" Pearce comes off second best in a tackle.The physio sings out..He cant go back on,he doesent know who he is.
Cloughy....Tell him he's fucking Pele and put him up front."

Can't say I liked him to be honest but for the football he created at forest, blimey, that team were great. In a proper sense of the word great, not in the way the media spray it around arsenal these days.
Two european cups man, when it was still a knock out competition.
And some of the football they played... awesome.
He was a genius, a flawed genius, but aren't they all?

Oh don't take it back Kuz... the guy reads like a twat. Who was he? A football coach. A violent drunk one at that. That's why he wasn't knighted.
- karlo0
Whatever...
See you at Elland Road
- Kuz0
lol
looks like someone take their football a bit too seriously. Lighten up karlo.,
Anyway, i'll retract my "jammy" statement, guess i was just getting a rise out of you. Still he was a nob-head who didn't survive a month at Leeds (couldn't exactly follow in the footsteps of Don Reevie) and I'm glad he's dead. May he be burning in hell with little demons poking his Shredded Wheat eating arse. Mwahahahahaaa!

BEST CLOUGHIE STORY
---------------------------'The rule of no mention of football in the house' - to the max.
Nigel Clough comes downstairs and has breakfast with his dad - they chat away about this and that.
Nigel finishes breakfast and says to his dad 'See you later'.
Nigel drives off to training but when he arrives there is no one there. He hangs around for a while and then calls his pal Scott Gemmill (cunt) to see what is going on...
Gemmill tells him that Cloughie had cancelled training and asked Nigel why his dad hadnt told him over breakfast??
Obviously, abiding to the rule - he didnt mention it 'in the house'!
QUALITY!
