It's an exclusive club don't you know ;-) we can't be having too many yanks (particularly of the Floridian/ant London/ SOF loving kind spouting perversity on here, football would never get discussed ;-)

CHEERS


I realize you are ranting about that Doomie Guy (who tried to drag me out for pints last night...I refused), but please don't lump all us Floridian blues with him, that boy is one of a kind, and should be isolated from the most of society. Besides he is from Pittsburgh!


What an orgy that would turn into. Doomster, give FB 15 minutes to work his magic and you'd have a smorgasbord of honeys begging for you. It's a shame he turned you down, he's just playing hard to get. That's his style you see.



Oh Daz, there will be plenty of opportunities in the near future as Doomie has promised many visits to sunny South Florida. The Horror, The Horror

One of them got a job elsewhere and as they were tight, they all moved out pretty close to the same time leaving me as the sole tenant. So I put an ad in the paper to get some tenants. I settled on 2 guys and a girl. The girl, I knew she liked me but because she was a housemate I didn't go there. Just after I got a girlfriend she let me know she was keen. I'd made a massive mistake. End of story.


if you're golden rule at this time was not to fuck the furniture, how on earth did you know that they were all tight??

having fathered 20lbs worth of baby in the last 3 years, i have forgotten what tight feels like.

or maybe my cock has shrunk?


okay, file this under too much information, but this is something you cannot buy...

when my wife gave birth to our middle daughter, as it stands to date, and hopefully forever, our only birth child, so her first and only vaginal birth...anyway, the labor was slow to start and after nearly 15 hours of no progression my daughter just popped out creating a pretty significant rip in my wife's vaginal wall. Well, lo and behold luckily there's a trusty intern to sew her up. It took him 45 minutes and honestly it's a gift that keeps on giving. She's tighter than she ever was, and it's just a much smaller playing surface now. At first it was hard even keeping the ball in play, and i'm not Wilt Chamberlain, but we worked it out.

this is not an endorsement of female genital mutilation either...just for the record.

As much as people on here bitch about the switch to Nike next season. Here in the U.S. Nike is still seen as the premier sports brand and it is only continuing to grow. Most of the tops college teams and starting this NFL season all 32 teams will wear Nike. Until early this year I always had to order my City shirt from the official City site. With the switch you are going to find a lot more kids wearing the City shirts next year.

The only other place I found anything was at a Nike store. The only teams they have currently are Aresnal, Barca, the rags and the U.S. and Brazil national teams. I expect next year they will add City and the England national team when both make the switch to Nike.

that is true as well. Niketown will have some football tops. Even the odd Adidas stores won't huck their football wares.

That's strange, you'd think they'd have the new jerseys in.

if you look at the city map on the city web page, you will see that there is about 2500 reg city fans in the good old usa and about 22 in maimi, and about 87 in florida all told, so florida blue should find a fellow blue somewhere

Most sports stores in the States sell Jerseys in World cup years. Dicks sell some.

Kearny NJ is a hot bed of football in US. Played them in high school a few times. NJ is one big mall.

Well I know about 3 here (4 if you count the semi-regular sitings of Ian Bishop -- does George Weah count as well?) and there is Doomie....

It was a mall in Littleton. Can't remember the name of the shop. They had football stuff but for playing rather than supporting.
