Yesterday, one of the most ridiculous, unimaginable moments in sports took place when City won the title in the same manner United won the Champions League in 1999.. A last minute showdown. Simply amazing.
And yet not a single comment about it? :lol:
As a United fan I'm obviously gutted, but still, at least it went down to the wire. Exciting as hell. Did any of you watch it? I was actually at work so I missed the action, but reading about it afterwards was enough to get some shivers.. :lol:
I didn't want city to win it, but on balance they probably deserved to considering they paid enough money for it.
I commented on it in the 20p thread.
That thread > Sportsworld.
And now I'm tearing up again because after spending all day avoiding the subject by steering clear of the internets and actually concentrating on work type work, I've had to think about it again.
I've never been on the wrong end of such sudden sporting trauma before :emo:
Amazingly few people in North America follow English soccer,who'd have ever thunk it.If you foreign types would like to talk about the Stanley Cup play-offs or MLB or something like that I'd be happy to obliged though.Quote:

I felt it was coming, but it was still shocking. Like when the Merkins re-elected Bush.

Puntsphere. Penguin-boy.
There aren't any penguins in the Northern hemisphere except in zoos.
You mean that sport where the trophy awarded to the champions is bigger than the stadium it's lifted in, and that sport where there are more innings than runs scored in most of the games played..? :huh:Quote:

j/k, I actually love watching the NBA and the NFL when they're on (well, actually they are on all the time, but rarely at normal times over on our end of the globe). Wish I could be arsed to stay up to watch the playoffs but it simply won't happen.. ah well.
The thing with merkin sports is they are forever calling timeout? WTF, my attention span isn't up to it anymore and I find myself surfing off to other things that actually involve movement........
In American football they spend more time picking themselves up off the ground than they spend running plays.If a play lasts longer than 7 seconds it's the football equivalent of a 40 point tie breaker in tennis. With Basketball the problem is in and of themselves almost every individual basket means nothing. And I only put in baseball as an example of a North American sport that everyone would probably be familiar with.What do "big fans" in baseball care about ,statistics.:blink:Quote:

Actually of the mass media sports I probably just as soon watch soccer as anything if not for the fact that they have a disturbing tendency to cheat and dive and like fuck and at least half of the time no one's even really trying to win the game.
Can you beat the crap out of people in Ice Hockey, or is it just internets rumours.
I just learned that I share an overall sports perspective with Idol :blink:
Thank goodness there is a slight departure, in that I don't watch hockey due to the fact that figure skating is a bit ghey.
I thought you didn't like any sports :eyebrows:
Both basketball and NFL are fantastic highlights sports. There used to be a magazine type program for each on CH4 in the UK, and I rarely missed either. Of course, I was a student then and never missed an episode of Kilroy either, but that's not the point.Quote:

Neither game stands up when watched live precisely for the reasons you and others outlined but if getting drunk whilst overseeing a cook-out and having sport on in the background is your thing, then either of these sports is tailor-made.
What you say about puntsphere is completely untrue, but you were being facetious anyhow. The diving is real enough but it's an ugly part of the game brought on by wanting to win a little too much and being willing to do anything to get an advantage. It's abhorrent but the rule-makers seem reluctant to bring retrospective punishment to bear and the current yellow-card shown to divers is infrequently used - due to them being so fecking good at it now :dabs:
My favoured solution is the pink card. Anyone caught diving in a match by a fourth official watching on a TV monitor is issued a pink card there and then by the referee and has to sit out a subsequent two game ban. It would stop diving straight away and I'm not sure what the hold up is.
They actually employ people to do little else.True story.Quote:

I should note that both those games are in New York so feeling like killing everyone is justifiable.
I'm in favour if they also write you're a big fag on the pink card.Quote:

They should all be given goatse cards.Quote:

I also don't know why you don't like the eyebrows man. He isn't glaring at you. He's just thinking about you.
Malevolently.
I'm going to tell you that in all probability, it would be an orange card or a different non-gay colour because it wouldn't be PC to use a pink card, let alone a pink card with you're a giant cawk-swallower on it. I'd also like to take the opportunity to tell you that red and yellow cards were introduced to the game at its infancy but were phased out, only to be brought back in during the late 80s in a blaze of publicity.Quote:

As there are all kinds of wordplay and other witticisms going on I have to pay attention most of the time in the Lounge.
Now that DarthCicero's gone Art's posts give me that rare opportunity to sleep.
I might actually create a thank you thread.
Inimitable defeat.Quote:

I thought I'd merely continued to skim over his posts.
It's all the spastics you keep swatting, you can't change mental gears, and bathe in the true magnificence that is my knowledge. You are now a mere shell or your former self, bereft of substance.You have become a sand idol, blowing in the tidal cesspool of the bittard section......Quote:

Finally weary from my lackadaisical ignorance of the definition of aubergine, I finally looked it up. It's eggplant, I want to go back to believing it was a type of horse.
It was the first large and not particularly ballistic shaped vegetable that popped into his fuzzy little mind, the basic premise was something unfeasibly large to stick up a horses vagina, although an aubergine was probably not ambitious enough, it would probably fit imho (no I have no urge to do any field trials, I will supply the horse and the ambulance, you can find a suitableQuote:

I'm not much of an eggplant man myself, but is it rigid enough to be incorporated into sex practices? The way I'm imagining it, it's one Kegel flex away from Baba ghanoush.
Let's step back here for one moment. Baseball is a sport? :blink:
This definition must come from the same people trying to get poker and checkers umbrella'd under that same category, too.
Spoiler: ShowMerkins. :dry:
I didn't choose a bigger, more rounded vegetable because I put myself into the horse whisperer's mind and decided he would probably choose an item which would most closely resemble the head of a stallion's cawk such that the mare might be more conducive.Quote:

Having never seen one of those close up, I decided an aubergine might fit the bill (or the vagina, as the case may be).
I will, of course, bow to the knowledge of experts in the field. I am, at best, an enthusiastic amateur.

You're excusing yourself for being wet behind the ears on horse cock, but don't deny any expertise on jerping.Quote:

Having said that, I imagine getting one to fit up your arse needs repeated anal instruction.
If you need to know more, Dr. Squeams is in practice later.
She practices psychology, isn't it a bit aggressive to go there without so much as a one or two fingered rectal exam?Quote:
