    Most of you are pretty good at taking the p1ss out of your rivals, but how many can laugh at your own? And that is the point of the thread, so please no p1sstaking of other teams

    I'll start the ball rolling with Spurs (no particular order):

    1. Whether I put it here or not it will get dragged up, so the 4-4 DVD.

    2. Hoddle/Waddle - Diamond Lights



    3. Every Chas and Dave Cup Final single.

    4. More managers than hot dinners.

    5. Losing 3-0 to Bohs in a mid-season friendly/jolly.

    6. Christian Gross arrives straight from Heathrow waving a tube ticket.

    7. At the same press conference he answered a question from a journo by saying he had the "final solution" to the club's problems.

    8. Sergei Rebrov for £11m

    9. David Bentley for £16m

    10. This year we'll break the top 4.

    I could be typing all day, over to you lot...

    If you are looking for a funny 4-1 then QPR and Dennis Bailey should do the job.

    Winning the league then having points docked cos a certain person never sent in a letter by registered post :D

    Liam Buckley after losing 5-0 at home to Zimbru " No team of mine will ever get beat 5-0 , zimbru beat us 5-0 away the next week.

    He was on Jonathan Ross on Friday night, and said that the trawler line actually meant nothing at all, total random meaningless gibberish. He found it amusing that people tried to analyze it.

    When Luke Chadwick was touted to be the next David Beckham.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 872 ✭✭✭craiginireland


    As an Everton fan I have to say most of the 90's oh and when two scallys tried to break into Duncan Ferguson's house.

    I'll never forget the news report:
    Two men under arrest in a Liverpool hospital after attempted break into Duncan Ferguson's home.

    They got in a side window and God Big Dunc was there waiting. He hurt his hand holding them both down waiting for the police.

    How stupid do you need be to knowingly break into the home of a 6ft4 maniac who already did time in Barliinie for assault??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭RVN10


    When Eric Cantona karate kicked that palace fan and then when he scored that goal against pool in the cup final just legendary ....Eric The King..

    Interesting. I always thought he was the trawler, the seagulls were the journalists and the sardines were quotes. Maybe he didn't know he was being clever.

    1. pre season tourni in Ibiza.:pac:

    2. Replacing Robbie keane with Bellamy

    3. Spending 4.5 million on Keith O Neill

    4. Buying lee hughes. Thug

    5. signing robert jarni for half a minute before him going to Real. Good decision robert.

    6. Micky Adams rant about how he has turned things around two months later sacked.

    7. staying in the championship by skin of our teeth. seeing the foxes go down bonus!

    8. supporting a team that PHIL BABB wins player of the year for.

    Alex Ferguson starting the the 03/04 season with Roy Keane in defense and a centre midfield partnership of Kleberson and Eric Djemba-Djemba.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    The last day of the 95/96. We HAD to beat Liverpool to stay up, and everyone knew it....except the manager and players. Thinking a draw would be enough, we held the ball in the corner to kill time while every fan was losing the plot knowing the real scenario. Needless to say, we went down. That debacle was the start of years of embarrassment.

    on behalf of Forest fans,

    it has to be Clough smacking the head off people raiding the pitch in his last season.

    it's about 10 secs into this clip.

    Wasn't that a deal between Coventry and Madrid? Betis wouldn't sell Jarni to their rivals, so madrid made arrangments with coventry (why coventry? no idea!) to buy him and then madrid would buy him off them. Madrid get their man, Coventry make £1m, jarni goes to his dream club. everyones happy. Except Betis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,213 ✭✭✭✭therecklessone


    I know it's not my team, but Brian Clough's notice to the fans in the 80s was brilliant:
    Gentlemen, no swearing please - Brian

    He threatened to leave Forest, so the reply was:
    Brian, no leaving please - The Gentlemen

    :D
