Rival Watch / Other Teams

I ****ing hate Man Utd but i'd take the loyalty of their fans over ours any day.When they were relegated in the 70's they could still attract gates of 50,000+.Twenty years ago we couldn't fill a 38,000 capacity stadium

 

Juventus 16/1/1 W/D/L so far this season, a real chance to break 100 points.

 

this aint the 70s tho is it , those fans in the 70s came from Manchester and its environs.

These lot now are 12 year old kids who will support whoever is succeeding.
They have been raised on success .

They wont take failure well at all .

With City just down the road ..they dont have to.

 

I bet even in the 70's you knew loads of Man Utd fans.

 

No , Just loads of Liverpool fans and Leeds fans who dreamt of a comeback

 

case in point is my dopey nephew , United everything , from bedspreads to schoolbag ....regular trips to OT ... (from Northampton )

Even he has ripped all the posters off the wall ...........thats how it starts .

 

When i was a lad it was bloody Leeds Utd ......my god they were hated .

 

Even in the 70's people knew about the "cockney reds".People travelled to OT from all over the country.

 

If we win the league then to us, after all its not too far away from Essex....

 

I know it's got nothing to do with football, but I thought I'd share a mate's picture he took today of the storm that has been battering our little cove down here in the wild west.

Beneath all the plastic fans and gloryhunters there's a very loyal fanbase there

 

How many glory hunters & plastics have our own teams attracted over the last 20 years ?

 

The difference between people like me who have lived by the sea all our lives and newcomers like you is we don't take risks by photographing the stormy sea

 

Well I was in the sea when this picture was being taken so **** you In all honesty though this is a safe place to stand and watch, some people have been risking their lives though by clambering onto sea walls and piers. Two dead in the last few days, one bloke sucked out to sea at Porthleven and one woman drowned after getting swept away by a wave at Croyde.

 

We've been spared the worst of the storms,due to the wind direction.When we do get a bad one the council closes the prom.You always get the idiots who ignore the closure but they are never local.It's the same when someone gets hurt in Snowdonia. It's never locals.

 

The two who were killed down here weren't local either. I've watched tourists paddle out into the most horrendous swells down here before despite pleading with them not to go in. But there's a bit of a attitude of 'I'm on holiday, I'm going surfing'. Fortunately most of them just get washed back up the beach before they can get into any real difficulty.

 

Did you see that YouTube video on the news tonight.It was two ****ing idiots filming themselves driving along the prom whilst the waves hit their car

 

Not seen that, where was it shot ?

 

I didn't catch where it was filmed.I won't drive along the prom at high tide if the sea's a bit choppy

 

This was Portreath this morning. There used to be a solid Granite stone hut on the end of that pier before today's storm.
