Our local team isn't in any legue, the closest team to me in a league would be Glentoran. I have only seen them once, I don't support them though.

Agreed

Why not? Go and cheer them on. I watch my local non-league team when I can. For a tenner it's much more fun.

You have to admit though, when we get a good goal keeper, we get a really good one.Arsenal had Seaman and Lehnman we has Schmeical and VDS.
Their bad goalkeepers are even worse than ours though.
Barthez was hilarious, so mad he could have been an Arsenal goalie

I really do prefer proffesional football, I might watch them when its convinient though.
Who is it you support anyway?

The mighty Sutton United.
Years ago I had a Chelsea season ticket but it's too expensive and too much hassle nowadays.

In his last few seasons at Bolton he was utter wank
We couldn't wait to get rid of him. All he did was spend the whole game gobbing off to the ref, the opposition and his team mates
Maybe he's improved since then but I think he's well over rated.
England are in big trouble if he's the best we can do.
Wilshire is the best english midfielder right now. I just can't really think of a suitable midfield partner for him.
Wilshere is going to be incredible, if he can avoid the off-field distractions.
I think he could be better than Gerrard.

Thank God I didn't name him. Dont fancy being sued by a wealthy prem star!
Oh come on Barton. Don't try to justify yourself.

And Arsenal, as everybody in the world knows but Wenger refuses to acknowledge, need a dominating, experienced, confident central defender and goalkeeper. So what do they do? Buy a young winger with no top-flight experience, from Southampton and are pleased they've got a work permit for a young Japanese midfielder. Wenger is so perversely stubborn.
Football news just in. The riots in Tottenham started when Harry Redknapp declared an interest in Emile Heskey. They started in Birmingham when Redknapp changed his mind.
The riots in London actually started when the prawn sandwiches were off at the Man United supporters' club dinner. Interestingly, this was also the case in Birmingham. And in Nottingham. And in Bristol...

I did see a bloke in Birmingham on the news, wearing a United shirt.

He is very hard to work out at times. He's clearly needed a good goalie for 3 or 4 years now but he seems insistent on making do with well past it ones or flailing clowns!
And teams like Stoke and Blackburn consistently get the better of them by towering above them at set pieces. But still no big name centre half! And still no holding midfielder! He has no balance in that team and I'm wondering if the man has any marbles left. I predict another trophyless season, and possibly his last.
