Second Captains

Say Your Number

I heard Fame by David Bowie on the radio a while ago, and all I think during it was 'He's just a crying big baby' 'Where did you get it all wrong today' 'You wanted victory' and 'COACH!' in various pitches.

Basically all of that Kilmarnock rant is never far from my thoughts.

I keep calling my newborn son "A crying big baby" in a Nigerian accent

My son is one year old and I can’t believe I’ve never used that on him. Will start now

I do tell him his food is “the best thing in the world. Full of proooh-teen” though

Any sort of half bad tackle made at a match I'm at "send him off, send the gravedigger off..." "That's just typical of what he is..."

Isn't it 'dirty git' rather than gravedigger? :pac:

To be fair to David Sneyd, it seems like Ken feels the exact same. It is like he doesn't really even want to watch the games but has to just for work.

The older you get the more you realise watching a football match on TV the more of a complete waste of time it is.
It's meant to be entertainment but the vast majority of football matches are dull.
The more matches you watch the more dull ones you get to see. What's the point after a while?
Much easier talk about the drama, the managers spats, the transfer "speculation" the never ending nonsense that goes on around the PL in particular.

When you are younger and have more time, can have a few pints with a few mates in the pub while you watch, it's a different experience - a side show to life.

My own personal opinion of course.
I get more entertainment from people talking about football and having a laugh than watching it.

I subsequently confirm to people in my immediate vicinity at said matches that's it's "gravedigger".

Watching sky doesnt help either with the constant BLM virtue signalling. Then we had a WLM banner flown over the etihad. Im sure we'll have an all lives matter banner soon from someone who thinks they're original and clever.

Wish they'd all f**k off to a deserted island and kick the s**t out of each other there.

I want a discussion on the game not politics.

This thread was only 165 pages long in February 2017 when they went behind the paywall, after that I thought it would be very quiet in here, certainly didn't see this being locked before the OTB thread, anyway here's to more wonderful nonsense in the next thread.

Really enjoyed the Aussie guy on yesterday, no BS there!
Thought the whole McKenna thing was strange in that they named him straight away, a similar case happened with an Arsenal player last week where they tested positive and then negative a couple days later without them being named publicly.

Ken talking about Stephen Ireland in today’s podcast is hilarious.

I knew Stephen Ireland was a bit crackers, but I didn't realise he was that deluded.

How very dare you, the nation that unleashed the wit and wisdom of Kevin "Bloody" Wilson upon the world.

Youtube "you can't say c*** in Canada" if you're not in the office and the mrs is out of earshot.

My missus wouldn't have a problem with that tbh.

It was fanciful to think we'd heard the last from Marcotti.

Marcotri and Early were like two feral cats snarling at each other ! (Claws primed and ready) It is safe to say that juices were flowing !!!

This is me. I listen to almost every SC podcast, and I'd say I've watched about 2 full soccer matches in the last 3 years.

I watch a bit more. The odd champions league game and the international tournaments. Otherwise no as most games are so boring.

Most people i know that big fans watch 'all the games' but don't seem to pay much attend, chatting in the pub or looking at their phones at home.

I do listen to the totally football show to her a bit more analysis of the games that second captains don't go into. Plus they take about the European leagues which SC could cover a tad more I feel, even if just for the stories.

I do disagree with Murph, I got tired of Klopp's carefully curated "Wacky German" persona a good while ago.
