  1. Just thought id delve a little further This is the AVERAGE attendances for domestic games of European clubs....season 08/09 Celtic 9th....Rangers 15th. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_attendances_of_European_football_clubs
  2. Ok firstly,Londons population is probably a few mill higher than Scotland yes.....however,i wouldnt like to hazard a guess as to the % of that population of which are English/or at least hold an English tradition like football of any value.....for instance,both Chelsea and Arsenal,Londons 2 most succesful teams in todays times have only around 35 % of their week to week supporters who actually reside in London.....so when you take that into account,plus the fact you have clubs such as Spurs,Millwall,Charlton,Palace,QPR,WEST HAM etc etc all getting good attendances every week its easy to see th

    Not so much the mainland itself but been visiting many of the islands for years
  4. Thanks for all the suggestions,i now have the pros on the case...they was going to send me out some kind of kit involving different pastes your supposed to put on with one of those little hobby tool things that spin round dont know what there called....then use some fancy cloth to polish it after,the pastes have different grades of coarseness.....well i didnt fancy that so they put me in touch with a pro who having spoke to him told me i would more than likely of made it worse and how he has trained 20 years to get to the level he is now at Got him booked for this Friday,think he must hav
  5. Last time i was drunk was 1998 i had whoa about 4 whole pints !......i tend to just fall asleep....i enjoy the very occasional drop of wine but even then after a few i start nodding off....i like to think its cos i led a dedicated athletes life,but the truth is its probably just cos im a big fairy who cant handle his drink Nothing worse than a loudmouth drunk male or female.
  6. Absolutely....i totally agree with both your posts Mr.aft...... What do folk want him to do go get a job as a steel erector or plasterer.....if you dont like the monarchy thats fine but coming out with shit like " they wont need any luck " and bla bla bla...what a stupid thing to say ! As for all the money its going to cost the tax payer....give or take a penny i think it works out to around 47 pence per person......if your that hard up that you need to whinge about 47 pence theres a lot more for you to worry about than a royal wedding !
  7. Now its just getting silly .....what you are not taking into account,is in London alone there is around 10 big football clubs to choose from.....theres only 2 big clubs in the whole of Scotland !!..... Manchester is an area of what 20 square miles,theres 2 huge clubs.....we can all sit and reel off how many people go to football but theres a lot your not taking into account..... I,ll give you Arsenal as an example,seeing as im constantly bombarded with Arsenal stats ....Arsenal consistently get 60,000 attendances,week in week out regardless of the opposition,Arsenal is also THE highest ti
  8. Very interesting mate thanks for putting it up.....Just shows the damage that can be done.....i can just picture the meeting in the cow shed .....To be honest it amazes me the details and information us the fans get to know about such huge companies,what other walk of life could joe public be made aware of such details without having a foot in the door. Just hearing on the news Rangers have recieved a takeover bid....Lloyds bank have said they wont block the bid and its down to the club and shareholders
  9. While i value this tank and its inhabitants as being very nice,damn expensive,and beautiful in its own way.......it certainly dont hold as much value as my many Hammers scarves ....Send me down your Rangers or Celtic is it ? scarf,that way i can carry out your experiment with pleasure....i,ll certainly enjoy aiming my urine on it Well im game for almost anything at the moment so i,ll give it a go.....if it works theres certainly a round of drinks in it for you mate
  10. Maybe yous have a point,i spose its one of those situations that unless your in you dont understand.....my pals a keen Arsenal fan and is constantly moaning why his club wont spend money when they are in such a positive position financially.....i suppose its one extreme to the other......all i know is as a simple fan of an average football club im more worried what happens on the pitch than off.Far more educated and knowledgable folk than me will run the club......i/we can only support it.
  11. I see,thanks for the info......to be honest theres more than one scratch....a friend was coming in to feed the fish while i was on holiday recently and used one of these shitty glass cleaners a bit like a scouring pad you get in pet shops ....didnt realise at the time but its left quite a few tiny scratches......Ive been in touch with Schott Zweisel who make wine glasses/decanters etc im waiting for a call back....but im starting to think its something im going to have to put up with unfortunately
  12. Baw this is a mentality a lot of fans have that i really dont understand.....what do you care if your club has a " manageable debt " as opposed to a debt up to their neck ?.....as a fan of a football club all i want is success i couldnt give a monkeys how much debt my clubs in its not my money.....too many fans these days talk about football from a financial point when realistically we dont have a clue what go,s on within the finances of sport,as fans all we care about is winning on the pitch,if that means going into serious debt why do we care.... Of the top 4 in England its only Man Utd who
  13. Ruined it its an internet forum conversation not a Davinci painting !!...ive found it very interesting myself. Here we go 50 million quid ifs and buts.....Arsenal make 50 mill PROFIT per year,they cant win a carrot !
  14. Now just hang on a minute !!! The mighty Hammers did if first Just ignore the little words cup winners cup
  15. Well i just tried the t-cut on a shitty little tank in the garage and it hasnt touched it just made a dull haze which will probably come off but still got the scratch so not trying that on the other tank.... Its an expensive real fancy tank so think im gonna get someone in who knows what their doing.....replacing the pane is out as theres all other bits connected to it at the top where the hood is. That Rouge gear looks good but think ive lost my bottle now id rather someone else take the responsibility at least that way theres a claim to be made if it go,s wonky ....thanks for the sugge
  16. I still call my ol dad son....its more of an east london thing,sorry if you took it any other way i know you jocks can be a bit delicate sometimes ...what your describing applies to pretty much every club in british football apart from Man City,Man Utd,Chelsea and Liverpool....like i said if it was a competition for who can bring through the best players we would win it.....all clubs outside the top 4 or 5 are feeder clubs
  17. On that we agree...there was a time down here at West Ham where a foreign footballer just wouldnt be accepted by fans no matter how good he was,infact if i go further back there was a time where poor George Paris couldnt get a first team game because he was black !!...he used to get dogs abuse from his own fans..... Its not so much old fashioned its pride in your area,id rather go down to the championship with a bunch of local lads than stay in the premiership with foreigners....at the moment we have a happy medium here and certainly more English players than most other premier league team
  18. I really shouldnt but..... It will only be the once so treat yourself and fly down.....the year after it will be Crystal Palace and Millwall
  19. If you saw the tank youd realise why not.....its a bow fronted tank for a start,also theres an internal 3d background on the back..........so no !.... T-cut.....only one way to find out i spose.
  20. Without doubt,the likes of Chelsea,Man City will only have themself to blame if their owners decide to up sticks and go onto another hobby.....the trouble is these days clubs send their scouts abroad to look for talent as much as they send them to local sunday leagues,which of course makes it double hard for a young lad to get a look in.I think theres still plenty of talented lads their just having a harder time due to the foreign talent they have to compete with. The kid Mckecran at Chelsea,Wilshire at Arsenal,the lad Coady at Liverpool is supposed to be another Gerard even at West Ham we
  21. Well none of my little circle of friends seems to know so thought id ask if anyone here knows. Is there any way to remove very light scratches on glass ?....Its the front glass of an aquarium....any ideas ? even old wives tales i,ll give a go
  22. Well i just speak as i see it if that comes across smug then its certainly not supposed to.... Not sure what the reason is for the lack of talent,computer games and technology is everywhere the Spaniards,Argies,Germans even us the little English dont seem to suffer with a lack of talent coming through....and its not like yous dont have plenty of other sportsman doing well....dont know the answer to that one.
  23. Pretty poor game really....all seemed a bit of a going through the motions exercise.....impressive stadium though.
  24. Loyalty is a trait to be admired mate im not digging you out over it......listen,when you follow the shit ive been following around the past 30 years you tend to stick with your own sort when it comes to discussions about footie.....am i jealous of Man Utd,Arsenal,Chelsea ...no course not. The advantage you have is your club probably will have its day one day.....we,ve already had ours
  25. Im not debating they are not big clubs they are we all know that.......what gets me is the way yous direct all your anger towards us and towards lack of money,when the reality is you produce absolutely no footballers of quality !!...Surely to god that should be a far bigger worry to Scottish football fans but they dont seem to care about that.....your game is on its arse not just financially....does it not worry you where the Laws,Dalglish,s,Souness,Hansens etc are and why they are not coming through anymore ? it would worry me and until they did i wouldnt start telling the Barcelonas and Real
