479Villan Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I remember what it took as an American to watch the League One final when Swindon were in it (friend here is from Wiltshire). I remember watching some shut-in Moors fan nursing a pint the whole trip from New Street to Euston last year, knowing he was probably saving the last 4 ounces in that bottle for the 50 minute tube ride he had remaining to get to Wembley. I say all that, to agree that them making the playoff final, and losing, would probably make me snicker in my house, before I resumed working on the crossword that day. TL;DR: "Get ****, not that i care" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point of order: In UK terms, 'a pint' always refers to a large glass of beer, never a bottle of whisky (which is never measured in ounces, either).

It was a 16 ounce (looking) brown glass bottle of some fruity beer I can’t recall. So I called it that. This guy wasn’t made of strong enough stuff to be hitting the hard stuff straight. Although I would refer to those as half-pints or pints for “travel size” libations due to volume here in the US. I don’t know what you’d call them there? But would love to know!

VillaChris Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 People genuinely shocked they're actually winning games when they've spent a small fortune at that level? Good news is Charlton, Huddersfield, Wrexham and Peterborough have all started very well so automatic promotion isn't going to be a walk in the park at all, they're just edging games currently because they've got better attacking players than the opposition. Anyway had a quick look at their forum as surprise surprise we lose and there's a thread on it and this gem sums up the current situation in 2024 perfectly: Quote They're playing in the best league in the world and in the best cup competition in the world. We, we are in the 3rd division, playing Fulhams Under 21s team in October. Mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted August 24 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24 Jameron Cerome They're playing in the best league in the world and in the best cup competition in the world. We, we are in the 3rd division, playing Fulhams Under 21s team in October. I got dropped at The Cat & Fiddle, Pheasey at 8.15pm. No way a viler coach would do that In Chelmsley. I win. Blues win. Blues won. Blues fans will enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I hate Blose with a passion but no way imo was that a penalty against them. His hand wasn’t that far away from his body, it was in a natural position and the ball was blasted at him. Handball rule should be all about intent.
