If everyone paid VT the same as they spend on flights then we wouldn't have to pander to advertisers. In fact just the price of a pint a month from the regular posters would probably cover it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've have it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this monday to friday plane." It's just a work of art. I wonder how long it'll be before clubs start having stewards slinging people out for bad language. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bottom line is that politics is in the toilet right now. Genuine debate seems to be impossible. Indeed, it also seems that you can ask someone about one thing and then be able to guess what they think about everything else as people just fall into the stereotypical left or right winger nowadays. There hardly seems to be anything in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given PSG have never played Man Utd before, I'd guess Andy has literally never seen them play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever Andy gets gobby about his beloved yanited, a pic of him wearing a Chelsea shirt circa 2005 is emailed to him by those of us who aren't glory hunters. He soon shuts up. Hats off to another lad at our place who goes home and away to see his local team, Cov. He also takes his 8 yr old son who refused to be like his class mates and support whoever's the best at the moment. Poor lad though....I mean.....Cov ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 17, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2018 I just love those conversations. it's the same in my office with the Wolverhampton born Tottenham fan talking to the Birmingham born Man Utd fan about the London born Liverpool fan's fixtures. "Oohhh yeah but Dortmund are playing really well this season" "yeah but Bayern are underperforming. They'll pick up after the winter break" "Schalke are a dark horse. They might cause us some problems" Shut up. None of you have watched a minute of any of those teams this season. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about european teams these days to be fair. Since the champions league went to VT I see very little of them (I'd always watch a CL game or two in the week, back when they were on ITV and Sky) I glean most stuff from podcasts and VT! But then I never pretend to Joe Bloggs in the office that i know what I'm talking about either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2018 I've started listening to the back catalogue of a long running podcast, and it's good. Except the accent of one contributor winds me up no end. I'm not even sure why. He has this weird accent that's a bit Manc, a bit Brummie and a bit Scouse. He says the word 'game' like 'guy-muh'. It makes my teeth itch. He also has Jo Wiley syndrome. Likes everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They broadcast sweary chants all of the time, occasionally apologising. They dubbed over the generic crowd noise when the fans kept singing "Sky TV is **** shit" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
