Another football-related post which has fuck all to do with the thread but isn't worth one of its own and requires a response from those of you I know will understand (ie Bobby, Jeff and disasterprone)
There's a poll on the Guardian website to find the all-time greatest XI and some hack has written a column suggesting a few names. I've re-read it twice and there's no mention of either Stuart Pearce or Bobby Moore, however Denis Irwin gets a mention. Could you fine gents please have a look and make sure I haven't gone blind/mental?

Oh, c'mon now
If you want to talk about football, get your own thread and the 4 of you who like it can chat in there without annoying anyone else. I can't recognise any of the players you mention, so they can't be so great.

I don't mind a bit of football from time to time
But twice today, babe, it's a bit too much.

Doesn't know if I should reply or not, some people around here seem to have accepted me and I don't want to get the Pires treatment

Whilst everyone else is annoyed about there being a football question.
I'm just going to sulk about not being included in the list of people who will understand.

I also understand the question
but I'm not going to sulk like some girl.

That's because you're reacting intellectually instead of emotionally and therefore not a "proper" fan.
Football - it all about the ill thought out base tribalism.

To me it's more of a reason to spend time with my mates complaining.

Well, because Denis Irwin was an infinitely better left back that Stuart Pearce, for a start.
why would you have a problem with that?
