Guess what you're never going to hear soccer hooligans chanting right before they get beat up by a bunch of psychotic Russians?

Soccer fans don't give a **** about emo and would probably beat you up for saying otherwise.

Wish we had more posters willing to discuss footy.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 01-09-2017 07:52 PM

we should recruit. let's get a liverpool fan or two so we can pick on them and tell them how much their team sucks.

We had one before, Face.

For some reason we have quite a lot of Aston Villa.

Couple of Rangers fans.

Two Arsenal fans.

I think a Real Madrid fan but he might be Atleti, or no allegiance either way.

You're the only MU fan I think (I would have been about ten years ago though, but then I transferred to Villa).

i think i've told you already but i was a huge Villa fan during the Benteke years. been into United since I started watching the sport, but I just loved watching Benteke play during 2012 and 2013, same reason i support Belgium. oh and we share the same birthday :cool:

That's what happened to me tbh, they were the team on the telly all the time when I was about 7 and when you're that age you get drawn in. I'd have switched sooner, but people lose their sh*t at that. Then I just stopped giving a f*ck and did what I wanted.

so i'm guessing you were able to at least see them through some of their relatively successful years? that's why i jumped on the united bandwagon when i was young, started watching around 09/10 and they were just brilliant. not to mention that the only other english team with supporters around here at the time was Chelsea, and **** that :D

Yeah I did. First season I remember was Cantona's last season, 1996/97. Went to my first game in the treble season. Started going on my own the year Ronaldo exploded (06/07) and up until '09 I was doing aways and Champions League & cup matches, at OT the turnstiles are digital so I used £10 child tickets. Met loads of friends through it and saw world class players so I don't really regret it.

Chelsea are a really unlikable club. Not my most hated though.

liverpool and leeds are the worst imo, can't stand their fans or their players. Klopp has made liverpool a little bit more tolerable though to be fair, great coach and personality. arsenal fans are beginning to get a bit ridiculous as of late as well, but it's hilarious to see them implode.

same here, achieved a lot over there time and have had some absolute legends in the team. most of the teams I dislike are due to either club rivalries or annoying fans.

Hamas used online ‘honeypots’ to lure and hack Israeli soldiers

Quote:

The “Operation Hunter’s Network” identified dozens of accounts on social networks, such as Facebook, which operated with false or stolen identities with the intent to extract classified information from both regular and reserve IDF soldiers, the paper reported.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the fake “women” would engage with Israeli soldiers — mostly men and some women — urging them to download applications such as Wowo Messenger, SR Chat and YeeCall Pro to get a virus on their phone, according to Military Intelligence officials.

The virus would also have access to the phone’s camera and microphone, taking pictures and recording conversations without the soldier knowing, as well as the ability to download hidden apps, which gave Hamas access to virtually all the data on those phones.

I love that the girl just smacked the gun away like it was nothing.

I can see how this went down in my head and it's hilarious.

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Tuesday largely commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted the administration and made WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures, famous.

The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to kill herself last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the men’s military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.

I've been watching the incomprehensible train wreck that is the Senate Committee Hearings all evening and am at an absolute loss for words.

Scott Pruitt and Betsy DeVos are a nightmare.

I wonder if Comcast is also going to change its name like Time Warner did to Spectrum.
