Where have I said they didnt buy those as well? I dont believe I have ever made that assertion.

City just took their blueprints and followed them while on a cocaine bender.

With the exception of Leicester, the League title has been pretty much bought since 2005.

I wouldn’t say the product is any better for it. In fact the more money that is involved in the game, the more it has turned to crap.

Leicester offered a refreshing interlude. Then they went and stabbed the guy who orchestrated it in the back.

I thought that I would quote these because that’s really what it is for me. I love the rivalry and the banter. I try not to take things too seriously, but I do get pretty irritated if Spurs lose. I just can’t help it I guess.

Same here, I mean, I do get upset from time to time like when the refs cheated us out of the win against Everton or the time the refs cheated us out of the win against Spurs, but you get over it and just never let them forget.

But for the most part I dont take it too seriously.

That being said, the same is not true of big games or big occasions. I definitely am more on edge during CL matches or during the World Cup on big occasions.

A Liverpool loss to Swansea? You shrug your shoulders and move along. I cant get worked up over every match.

Actually being a Flames fan really helps build up one's tolerance for disappointment.

The loss that really pisses me off is the Cup Final against your lot where we were robbed. If ever there was a case for a penalty goal and a sending off, it was that.

Had to put on the Dumb and Dumber DVD to cheer myself up.

A Manchester United fan just agreed with a Liverpool fan. This must be commemorated!

Do we have to alert the United Nations?

When Spurs finish above you (hopefully by a single point garnered at Liverpool), will I need a bankruptcy trustee?

I don't know how to post things from Twitter, bit this is too good to skip! Personally, I am still hoping for Sol Campbell (the greatest football mind!), IF Wenger has to go.

You might need 'The Chairman' surgically removed from your head if that happens.

Okay, thats one of the funniest things I've read in forever.

First of all, I had no idea that they'd slanged his name to 'Brodge' and if there was a fan vote I'd try and hijack it to get him the job.

'Brodge in at Arse!'

West Ham has been horribly uncoordinated today. That's OK, I guess. Barcelona's very good.

:: Squints at TV ::

They're playing Swansea?
