      A Spurs fan recommending a former club of the Arsenal manager...
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        Bah... don't listen to him! I 'got' into football.

        I didn't know we were a "sister city" (whatever one of those is) to Atlanta.


        Yep! It's also refered to as a "Twin City"



        Twin Cities

        * Bergen — Norway
        * Groningen — Netherlands
        * Gelsenkirchen — Germany
        * Nancy — France
        * Taiyuan — China
        * Atlanta — USA
        * Haifa — Israel
        * Newcastle — Australia — on the River Hunter, and also a coal hub.



        Town twinning or sister cities is a concept where towns or cities from geographically and politically distinct areas are paired, with the goal of fostering human contact and cultural links. In Europe, such pairs of towns are known as twin towns; in North America and Australasia, the term sister cities is used for the same concept. Twin towns often (though by no means always) have similar demographic and other characteristics.
        “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
        - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

          Yeah support newcastle, we don't win anything but you're guaranteed a decent laugh every few days when we manage to make the previous balls up look insignificant
          Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

            In true Manchester United fashion, I have to say "support your local team".

            I actually wish my local team was lower down than Man U so that I could actually experience the highs and the lows of promotion and relegation.

            What I would do is pick maybe a second division side and follow their results. You don't want a side like Man U or one like Southport who have no chance of doing anything.

            Personal recommendation..... Wigan.

              What exactly were you expecting from a club 2-3 divisions lower down? "Total Football"?

                How to play football, according to The Gas.

                1- Kick the ball as high and hard upfield as you can, in the hope that it might rebound into the net off a striker's upturned arse.

                2- Repeat step 1, repeatedly.

                  Give it a couple of years.

                  BTW a (probably totally untrue) ManU rumour from a 'friend of a friend' is that Rio has got caught nailing Darren Fergusons wife and will be out of the club as soon as a buyer can be found.

                        As opposed to going to work in your usual dress?

                              Also the former club of the best goal-poacher England ever had, not that he did much of it there, but they adored him anyway.

                                just play the game
                                watching it comes nowhere close to the real thing
