  1. Crawley spend more than the average League 2 side, they're hardly paupers.

     

    Are Crawley Town the least popular non-league FA Cup giant killers ever? - Telegraph

     

    Are Crawley Town the least popular non-league FA Cup giant killers ever?

    Crawley Town of the Blue Square Conference pulled off a huge FA Cup upset when they knocked out Championship side Derby County, but with the Davids from this story modern day goliaths in their own back yard, not everyone is celebrating.

    Whether it is jealousy of their wealth or their success this season – Crawley sit second in the Conference with games in hand on AFC Wimbledon at the top – Crawley’s FA Cup heroics have been met with something short of universal acclaim in the basement of English football.

     

    A brief foray in to the unforgiving world of non-league blogs and forums today – as scientific a measure as breaking out a Ouija board but a useful barometer of feeling nonetheless – reveals more dissenting voices than messages of congratulation.

     

    The team that visiting fans describe as “just a car park for Gatwick” are less than loved by their likely soon to be former peers, with the silver lining from Crawley’s success found only in the fact that they may be heading for a spell of fixture congestion that might derail their promotion charge.

     

    Football’s tribalism dictates that those who are not with you are against you at whatever level the game is played at. But the antipathy in which Crawley are held in their own division goes deeper and relates to a sense that even here money talks and you can buy your way to success.

     

    The top tier of non-league football is no longer a place inhabited by school teachers, postmen and factory workers playing for the love of the game in their stolen free time. That still exists further down, but in the professionalised Conference of recently relegated league clubs and the upwardly mobile, splashing the cash will take you a long way.

  2. One more thing, we got a 0-0 result away from home playing squad players.

     

    Another result in the same competetition was this one.

     

    Aris Thessaloniki FC - Manchester City 0-0

     

    City started with this team.

    Shaun Wright-Phillips

    David Silva

    Yaya Toure

     

    Carlos Tevez

    Edin Dzeko

     

    You make a good point Code but making a stale performance like last night look better by comparing to another teams poor performance does'nt really work IMO. Its just means that both teams underperformed.

  3. The return leg will now be very edgy as we don't have a away goal and if they score i'm not optimistic we will score 2 if we play like we did tonight.

     

    Its just a shame that Anfield wont be near capacity.

     

    Might be full actually as when i brought my ticket online yesterday the allocation was nearly gone which has never happened a week before a Europe lg game this season when i have brought a ticket.

  4. Fuck me, Pat Nevin is using Konchesky to show how a full back should defend.

     

    Ha, ha, ha.

     

    Not often I say this about an ex-bitter but... Pat Nevin is usually quite intelligent.

     

    Obviously been drinking or injecting smack into his arse.

     

    He's shagging Konchesky's mum that's why, met on Facebook.

  5. Edge did an article on both this game and Mafia 2, and while they said Mafia was a good game, LA Noire could be groundbreaking because of the choices that the player makes in accordance to a story that isn't told through a linear plot line.

     

    I also think that LA Noire will be better because it is Rockstar, they're pretty good at depicting different eras of American culture as seen in GTA, (90's LA in San Andreas and 70's Miami in Vice City).

     

    Did they use the actor playing Ken Cosgrove in Mad Men for the lead character in the game as he looks & sounds like him?

  6. Er, possibly because you said if you carry out that daft suggestion it might then sound "quite good", hinting it doesn't normally by listening to it in a standard way.

     

    Monty's excuse is that he is ginger. He's still right, though.

     

    Fair point and my fault on my end i have to admit i guess but there was no need to be a total dick about it ginger hair or not.

  7. I think that you're trying to have a pop at Kid A here, but because you fail at life so much you actually can't put the words in the right order to voice your humongously mongy opinion on that particularly sublime album.

     

    I've negged you as a precaution.

     

    Hows that having a pop! Doing a Google search for it found it was true and it was called 'Kid 17'. My typing may be shit but that is attributed to the shit phone i have so what's your excuse.

    Maybe try and neg yourself as a precaution for the next time.
