[Football] Funniest **likely** footballing story this season?

[Poojah]

I've not quite got over Micheal Keane celebrating for Grimsby about us going down in 2003. Them getting relegated out the league will fill me with much amusement.

One of the cringiest on-pitch moments in my 30 odd years supporting Grimsby (and believe me, they're not a rare artefact) - we were already relegated ffs.

I'd take some solace in the fact you've fared somewhat better than we have in the 18 years since. We've been an absolute laughing stock for an overwhelming majority of that time, whilst it's hard to find a more respectable looking club than Brighton these days (albeit there are six clubs that haven't helped their argument this week).

The only hope I can take is that we are about to be taken over by a consortium of Grimsby-born, successful and respectable businessmen with some apparent principles and value. They don't have the wealth of your Tony, but the bar is so low at the minute it's still a massive upgrade.

I have a Pompey supporting good friend who lives abroad. We often Whats App each other about our clubs fixtures and results. He seems to think that I want Pompey to do well and go up - I haven't the heart to tell him that I punch the air in delight when they lose. It's just ingrained over many years. Bad me.

I've gone for Derby, although is the loudness of the laugh based on the loudness of the pre season boast.
Rooney quietly took over at Derby and never shouted about taking them to the EPL, neither did he say they would be relegated.

Exactly the same for me. He used to cheer on Brighton when we were at Withdean. I fecking despise them from the first time I saw them at the Goldstone in our League Cup run in 1969.

I hate Massive more than any other club. My first girlfriend left me for a Wednesday supporter and I've disliked them ever since. It's a hatred that's matured over the years and the fans' antics in the last decade have sealed it for me.

I shall be laughing like Sid James if they go down

Mine is Cowdenbeath because I like steak (medium well).

Mine as well as most of my family are buried in Cowdenbeath cemetery though if Kelty Hearts get promoted to the 2nd division then I shall sadly have to change alliance as that's where we are from!

We had a whole posse of Wednesday supporting twunts on my university course. Absolute bell ends and I love seeing them fck it up for that reason.

Sorry to ask this as I'm sure you have been asked many times. Why do you post on a BHA board and still here after 11 years?

It’s a fair question and one I’m not actually asked as frequently as you might expect.

I’m a bit of a stadium nerd and as a supporter of a club that’s been attempting to relocate practically as long as I’ve been alive, was intrigued as to how ‘lowly’ League One Brighton were funding a move to a stadium as fabulous as the Amex. I was unaware of the good work of Tony Bloom at that point.

So I think I stuck around to follow construction updates, and must have found my way onto a few other (mostly non-Albion) threads. I just find it to be a brilliant forum in general with such a broad range of people - lots of intelligent, funny posters with some great and (mostly) well considered debate. Oh, and a random Swede for good measure!

What’s great about it for me, is that it’s actually often more useful than other topic-specific forums when you need help and advice. I owe my full range of kitchen equipment, my car and even the purchase of my house to the sage advice of NSC.

I don’t typically follow the Albion threads because, as you suggest, I don’t really have an interest in the Albion as such though I do tend to look out for your results and wish you well as much as a neutral can, on the strength of my experiences on here. There are some exceptions - the one with the guy running to take Vicente’s contract to him at the airport was an absolute banger!

Fun fact: David Stockdale’s niece is in my lad’s class at school.

Anyway, that’s enough blowing smoke up your collective arses for one night - back to whatever you were doing you ‘orrible southern bàstards!

All of them are brilliant.

Pompey for me though. I'd prefer them to fail in the play offs but bit risky so let them miss out altogether.

Won't be long before we start hearing Cowley Brothers out from the morons down there

Yes, Pompey's annual bid to avoid promotion is always a better watch when it falls at the final hurdle. Especially after having given Kenny Jackett so much grief.

Before this week I'd have said Wednesday or Pompey, but given this week I voted Liverpool. Hialrious that the gods of football can't even finish in the top 4 of English football.

 

[GT49er]

Most pleasing outcome? Perhaps it's this - didn't we desperately try to buy this man to solve our striker problem and he wouldn't come to Brighton?

[Superphil]

Nothing, and I mean nothing from a football perspective would please me more than to see liverpool come out of this season with absolutely nothing.

A disadvantage of Wednesday getting relegated (as well as Sheff. Utd by the way) is that their lovely near neighbours Leeds will be all over it. I wouldn't wish that on any set of fans.
