Sheer Bliss!

And you're the first to whinge over wasting public money. The BBC are sending over a 100 staff out to that s**thole south of Dover in order to cover this tournament, at a cost running in to several million. Who gives a dam who wins? It seems to me the money would have been far better spent on televising lower league action in the coming season and putting money into clubs like Stanley rather than chucking it away on this Euro garbage.

Well I might agree with you Tealeaf, but to be fair how many would watch lower league football, very few, I'd would watch if Stanley were playing, but I can't say I'd be watchng Wycombe and Barnet, and neither would anybody else, Euro Camps are two weeks every four years, and the level of football is very much worth watching:)

Oh the joy and the bliss? Are you taking the p***?
Footer morning and night may be just your delight
But for some of us it's nothing short of the pits.
Still it isn't for long and I feel I'd be wrong
To deny you your pleasure in such a small measure.
I'm not a great fan of soap op'ras, I can
Either take 'em or leave 'em. Well, who could believe 'em?
And Wimbledon's really not my choice. Ideally
I rather watch drama or p'rhaps Panorama.
But if footie sport is, for you, the right sort
Of telly to view then I'll leave it to you.
Go ahead and feel free, take no notice of me.
Watch the football, my boy, settle down and enjoy!

;)
 
shouldnt this thread be in the sports section???


GET IT OFF!!!!!.........................................





























LOL.......;)
 
Wall to wall football comes just in time .... one of the greatest Stanley Cup finals ever is still going, but should be over just in time for football to take over. If the Penguins win the next game in the final series, and it goes to game seven, that would be perfect.
 
considering the "Colonel Blimp" attitudes shown in many postings on this sight , I find it a bit odd that folks would be interested in watching a bunch of foriegners in a championship where no british teams were good enough to qualify . :confused: :confused:

Have to agree Roy especially if you support the Gooners. This day and age there is that many TV channels no one needs to bother about footy being on for say 2 hours on ITV and 2 hours on BBC a day for a couple of weeks and one game starts at 5pm anyway when the ladies sould be in the kitchen making the tea anyway:hidewall::D

Actually it isn’t even wall-to-wall football seeing as there are just two matches per day for the first two weeks.

I’m a fan of football first and foremost with heavy leanings towards Manchester United, and an interest in the Rovers and the Stanley. Meaning that if the opportunity arises to watch national teams in action I revel in it even if England or any of the home countries are not in action.

I will not be supporting any one particular country except any opponents of France.

Are you tired of living?

Well the netball finals don't start until tomorrow ... and as everyone knows, or should know, the rounders finals are months away. Right now it is hockey, the best thing on ice other than Canadian rye whiskey.;)

A kindred spirit on this issue!

Any culture that eats frogs legs and snails has to be suspect.

Apart from that it was Charles de Gaul (he with the huge conk) who kept us out of Europe with his constant Non when we could have influenced the way the EU developed had we been able to join in the very early days. There’s gratitude for you after we twice dragged the French out from under the German jackboot.
