The Round Ball Game - II

[AmpH]

So seriously guys, I need a new team to support.

(Heresy coming up…) It could’ve been Liverpool, but no more. Heretics!

Lived in London for some 34 years, so maybe when in Bayswater W. London, close to Chelsea? Nope! Heretics!

Next was Kingston-upon-Thames, so maybe Kingstonians – a real possibility! Need to investigate further.

A premiership team? Fulham in W London – but, Sheikh al-Fayed, and THAT Jackson statue? And soon to be relegated?

Aberdeen because of dear, dear Fergie? Possibly, but an English team please!

Who else? Help!

A Mankland friend of mine has ( as far as I know ) always supported Accrington Stanley - quite a well known lower league club who are well rooted in the local community - or so I’m told - certainly a step up from your current lot I would have thought

Things are movingly quickly..... keep watch..... don't rush to a final judgement yet.... the fightback begins!

We have a crucial match tonight for Gods Sake! What on Earth are the players thinking!?

Yup, I know!

"Accrington Stanley"

"WHO?"

"Exactly!"

Around 24 hours ago, I'd have replied with some rich Anglo-Saxon.

Now I agree.

Somewhat heartless V....most on this very friendly thread are lifelong devoted fans of the game and their club, who feel distressed if forces beyond our control threaten to take that attachment away from us...

I live in hope, and await the next few days' developments....

Writing as a supporter of a club which is now effectively 95% owned by the Arizona State Pension Fund (really!) I'm just trying to be realistic.
I understand that negotiations with Abba are underway for the exclusive rights to use one of their hit singles to promote the new league.

Should the Americans ever achieve full control of the football game – expect drastic rule changes, I’m told they cannot comprehend 0-0 draw results, that off-side would be dropped and so on…(live in hope Everton supporter.)

It's a rich man's world.

13 of the 20 Premier League clubs are currently under foreign control, and Newcastle could become the 14th.
To slightly misquote The Bard - 'All the world's a market, and all the players merely assets'.

Yup - Elland Rd.
Crikey!
Take the knee on THAT, lads!

I wonder how many neutrals will decide to become fervent Leeds United fans for the evening?

Steady now LMcD, some of the players are assets, the lower down the table you get the more liabilities there are.

Hartlepool or Stockport - they’re the future!
