Romey 1878 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Is that going to be at the same site as Stamford Bridge or are they relocating? Same site. That's why they looked into using Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 think it was a pipe dream (and the plans looked incredible) Pretty much this. The area's certainly changed, not fully finished yet but it looks ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johnh Posted January 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Didn't they look at the Battersea Power Station site? They dumped those plans when Mourinho left. The original idea was that the cooling towers would dissipate all his hot air. Matt, aaron, MikeO and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 They dumped those plans when Mourinho left. The original idea was that the cooling towers would dissipate all his hot air. They'd have needed to build a few extra ones to get rid of all of it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) At Prenton Park this weekend, to watch South Park FC (not a joke - http://www.southparkfootballclub.co.uk/) take on Tranmere. SP are in the 2nd round proper of the FA Trophy. They're my uncles' team (he's the youth manager and my cousins all played there). So they're all coming up to hopefully see them through to the next round. Looking forward to it. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/tranmere-rovers-fa-trophy-scouting-12423360 Edited January 9, 2017 by Lowensda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 And as predicted the Dolphins got twatted. Well in Miami for putting the icing on a shitcake of a weekend. Yep -- always a tough game against the Steelers. Luckily, my Packers made it through, so I had a little to celebrate this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, we'd of got slaughtered by New England anyway so it's done and dusted now. Glad the Packers won for you. Bet it was freezing if they were at home?

aaron Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Made up the Packers won, that Hail Mary from my name sake last night was unreal. Funny story about how I became a Packers fan, back when I was 21, was going to Florida for Christmas with the family, my cousin said "we'll need to watch some NFL whilst where there, whos your team?" so I picked the first one I saw on tele - Packers, turns out their QB has the same name and birthday as me, destiny that! ha.

And he's an excellent player! I picked them because their former starting QB (Brett Favre) is from my home state, and I thought it was pretty cool at the time that he was from the same area -- he and my mom went to the same school also.

Favre, what a legend. one of my all time favorites. He'd have a broken arm, broken toe, hurt other ankle, bruised ribs. "coach I'm not sitting on the bench, I'm starting" he would still throw for 2 TD and 300 yards. they don't make them like that anymore. that dude was unreal.

A bit of a redkneck homophobe who made things difficult for aaron rogers too. Watched the programme about him - tough competitor etc but a bit of a nob in some ways. Clearly a very good QB and tough as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure -- That was one of the other reasons I thought he was so great. You just knew he wanted to be out there playing the game. He always celebrated like a kid after every touchdown pass too. I was really hoping he'd get another ring before he retired, but it wasn't meant to be. He got a little weird at the end there but I'll always respect his spirit. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he got sick of all the attention, but a few people I know have said he can be kind of a dickhead when you meet him in person.

I don't care about the man, I watch for the game, how they are off the field has nothing to do with how they play. learn to separate art and the artist, or sport and the sportsman, you'll find you're able to enjoy things without bringing morality into it.

From a UK person looking in it looks fuckin brutal. You need to be a seriously tough minded person to get through the whole jock set up. It's far too indulgent of the superstars and they think they can get away with all sorts of shit. Bullying exists on a high level. Superstars can get away with college rape. That's the perception. The reality may be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about the man. I do care that athletes in privileged positions behave like neanderthals. That goes for footballers or whatever. My biggest hate figure recently is Ian poulter - absolute gobshite of the highest order. He had one person sacked from their job and tried to get another one into trouble with his employers because he expressed a view that poulter is arrogant - a deliver driver ffs. Yeah it makes wanting these pricks to do well very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I can't imagine the pressure they must be under at the same time (the legit ones not the ones that should be locked up). Expected to be a star from such a young age big watched by tens of thousands every week and having to deal with school and college hierarchy. Has massive benefits but must also be tough when things don't go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little johnny kicks a stunner and he's the next Beckham they're waiting outside his apartment in London to follow him to school. I agree haf the players get off easy but they do everywhere. Remember loic remy had the rape charge removed? Valbuena and benzena the extortion thing and they play week in and out. No different.
