Things about football that you love.

The Fulham game was the lowest score battering I've ever seen. There's been teams 5 nil down who looked more in the game than them that day.

 

I'll be honest I dont wash my hands if I've gone for a piss. You have to pull the door handle to get out anyway, so the germs on that are undoubtedly worse than what's on my hand.

 

First half definitely; I think Hull first half possibly topped it.

 

Manchester United losing.

 

It's those moments of football Magic. Everyone loves surprises(well nice ones)

Osvaldos goal against City
Clynes strike on saturday

Countless throughout the years. When a goal is scored which is special or important it's a legal and natural high and everyone else is on the same thing. You can officially lose your **** for a few seconds. Jump/scream/hug and look a complete nutcase without condemnation from your peers

 

That 90th minute winner home or away but for some reason a million times better away.

 

Beating teams well that we really should have no chance against.

 

Rarely happens with Saints.

 

Beating Man Utd.

 

Haven't you ever considered using a piece of clean toilet paper to grip the handle with..? Bloody hell, 10 marks for honesty, but several hundred debits for transmitting germs.

 

Anytime I went to SMS, I always got excited when I saw the top of the stadium poking out in the distance. Alas, I haven't felt that excitement in about five years

 

Congratulations on your bravery for quoting him, TSS. I was afraid I would catch something.

 

Reminds me of when Winston Churchill was asked about this subject by an old-Etonian MP:

MP: "At Eton they teach you to wash your hands after going to the lavatory."

Winston: "At Harrow they teach you not to piss on your hands."

 

And yet here I am, fit and healthy! Not sick once in 2013, not so much as a loose stool!

 

May be passing it on to others though.

 

Apparently everyone else opens the door with a tissue or their foot...

 

The colour of my first game really truck me (Aberdeen v Hearts in 1967). Football had always been black and white until that day.

 

That's a really nice visual.

 

I remember my first live game...I was surprised how big the players were. They always looked so small on the telly

 

I always remember the smell of the players as they came out of the tunnel at the Dell, if I was down that corner. The linament hit you like a tidal wave. And yes, the colours, particularly at floodlit matches. Absolutely magical memories.
