You went to Cheers Edna? I've lived less than 5 miles from that place for the past 5 years , drive past it on the way to and from work every day and have still never darkened it's doorstep. Looks like a den of truck driving , Nascar and Bud loving rednecks to my untrained eye. Moved to Jville...

Every other town seemed to have a thread on this so didn't want my hometown missing out.

Am I being ultra picky in saying that I don't think the boat race is anything to write home about?

As far as team names you have to go a long way to beat Sporting Gijon (prounounced with an authentic Manuel from Fawlty Towers accent). And I had another guilty pleasure but bugger it's gone!! Back in a minute.

Don't know you personally but get well soon from Florida BHA. Was reading Build a Bonfire again the other night so was reminded of all you've done for the club we all love.

A bit controversial implying either that the Police nicked it or are involved in some sort of shady bike selling racket. You going to stand for that Edna?

Farrington was absolutely terrible. Jason Peake was dreadful but in my 30 years of watching the Albion no-one , and I do mean no-one , has come close to Ashley Neal for being utterly inept and without any footballing ability whatsoever.

Marvellous as it undoubtedly is to see the state they are in does anyone else agree that Colin's move to Loftus Road is a bit of a strange one? I read he is their 12th manager in 4 seasons. I would have thought he'd hang around at Palace till the end of the season (I actually think he'd have...

Did anyone see the interview with Bellamy afterwards when he was directly asked some tabloid-esque question? Response was along the lines of it was just another game and the press made way too much of it but he went onto say something like "I don't want to talk about John Terry. Everyone in...

BBC quotes Avram Grant as saying that football should not be decided in the courts and that PFC shouldn't be docked points as it's unfair on the fans. What about the fans of Burnley who saw their team lose today against a team who basically , it could be argued , fielded an entire team of...

Pedant alert - Gary O'Reilly scored the winner that day. Also it was a long time ago but my recollection is that we had a fair following there that day. There were certainly enough to justify a charter train.

That's a long way from me. Never been to the Keys.

Question for Lyndhurst - what is Long Island like? I always imagine it to be the NY equivalent of Essex. Since it's mainly the north getting bashed here I should offer that Callahan and Middleburg are not really outstanding parts of NE Florida. St Augustine on the other hand is very nice.

Nope. Too far north for me. I hear terrible things abound outside of Florida!

Surely for this thread to have any credibility it's my duty to mention that Littlehampton is easily the biggest shitehole in the universe , never mind Sussex? Worthing is a close second. Used to be a nice place but is now a chav infested hellhole.

I was told today that the US beating the Canadians at "their game" was just a warm up for when they beat England in the World Cup in June. Not sure I can honestly see the parallel but there you go. Sure Kid Jensen and Bryan Adams must have been gutted but alas there I have exhausted my...

See you AGAIN next season "massive club". Congratulations on the batty boy jibe. You're hilarious.

Wenger is a bit of a turd really isn't he? Very tedious.

My last brush with US immigration was pretty hairy. Landed at Newark , showed green card and passport and the officer said "welcome back guys". Contrast with Gatwick/Heathrow where I'm always quizzed on how long I intend to stay in the country of my birth.

Thanks for the kind comments. I poured my heart and soul into that. Well I dashed it off in half an hour the other night when the wife was out at a Black Eyed Peas concert meaning I could spend time on the PC without being summoned back to watch American sodding Idol. Those were great days...
