    I firmly believe every time I don't see a game United will drop points. Its happened to me on six seperate occassions. For the purposes of this superstitution, following it on BBC minute-by-minute does count as seeing it, but if I only find out a result after, United always lose. Hence, I rarely miss a game.

    Vidic and Evra are slowly becoming cult heroes. Evra for the **** he comes out with week after week. My favorite is when he talks about training with Ronnie, and he says something like, 'Yeh, Ronnies stepovers are great, but he won't do them against me in training, cause if he does, I'll break his legs'

    Vidic is slowly becoming a cult hero because he's a hardman in a team of relative wimps :)

    I don't normally get names or numbers on shirts, but I did get Bergkamp 10 on Arsenal's one-season redcurrant shirt.

    If your username is kdajacl why do you sign every post with kdjac?
    Just wondering :confused:
    But it doesn't explain why he doesn't add the L when he signs off. Or why some of the letters are in capitals and others are small.

    What an enigma!

    Eh, isn't it obvious?

    The "L" kid is obviously the milkman's.

    I know this (which worries me slightly).

    His name is after his kids names and he had a kid since he joined boards?

    I think the "C" might be an addition too, originally it was just kdja.

    I win the bonus round. Get in!

    What I often wondered was when he considers the name of his next kid, does he consider his boards username and how it would work even for a spilt second :)

    Vidic and Evra, cult heroes? Hardly.

    Quality players, no doubt. But certainly not cult heroes.



    Fair enough. Do you reckon if you always wear it when United play they'll always win so?

    Well, cult heroes in the fact that every young kid gets Ronaldo or Rooney, tell me how many people you see around Dublin with Evra on the back? And then there is Vidic, whos cult i am a part of, Vidicism.

    And no, i dont reckon if i wear it every game we will win. Which is why i dont wear it every game. Because should we lose to say, Bolton, the blessing would be gone and to be honest im happy with my 100% record SINCE i had it blessed in one of the holyiest cities in the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,944 ✭✭✭Brian017


    Last years Home: Rooney 8
    This Years Home: Ronaldo 7
    This Years Away: Nani 17

    I wouldnt say common. But ok i realise they arent cult heroes, but basically what i was trying to get at is that every kid gets Ronaldo so i wanted something different.

    Actually every kid gets their own name, lol, i used to get my name and my age, Mikey 8, Mikey 9 etc.

    I was thinking of getting Kevin Doyle's name and number on my Irish jersey. Does he wear number 9 or number 10 for Ireland?

    Number 9 recently anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    yeah Robbie Keane wears 10.

    afaik you can only get the proper FAI lettering in Lillywhites in London, i bought one there with Keane 10 and a 10 on the front 2 years ago and havent seen them in Ireland.

    Have Zenden 30 in The CL gold letters, not on a jersey I just have the lettering and number.

    You dodged a bullet there-you don't want Zenden on your back.
