FA Cup upsets
Bloody hell.
Man United out to Pompey and Chelsea out to Barnsley. This is one of the great days of English football.
The former I'm pleased with because it's United, the latter because it shows that Barnsley have hit a run of exceptional Cup form, and it wasn't just us playing crap when we lost to them.

Hey, if it's a choice between cricket and footy, I'd go for cricket any day.
Emphasis on the 'real'.Play some real sports.

Like I said - cricket. It's certainly a sight more complex, and therefore a thinking man's sport. Football may claim to have complicated rules regarding offside, but they're nothing when compared to the lbw rule.Rochey wrote:Emphasis on the 'real'.

NASCAR only qualifies as entertaining when I see something explode or crash. Other than that, it's an hour of watching people drive around in circles. If I wanted to see that, I'd wander down to the local roundabout.

I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast

I hate roundabouts. Some idiot set up three in a row by menards and the North side Wal-Mart. It's the only thing that actually gives me motion sickness.Rochey wrote:NASCAR only qualifies as entertaining when I see something explode or crash.

They're useful for regulating traffic if you don't want lights.
Of course, some moron decides to put a roundabout and three freaking sets of traffic lights at the same junction, which happens to be one of the busiest around.
Things like that make me glad I don't drive.
