There’s a reason I didn’t respond to you the first time mate. You are beneath me in terms of intellect. The next time I’m buying a car I’ll give you a shout

A car reaches its destination quicker than a Walker.

That Kyle Walker is a very poor footballer. How in God’s name did Manchester City end up spending £50m on both him and Stones?

Only Chairman Dan could have extracted £50 million for Kyle Walker. @Special_Olympiakos can tell you all about that.

That’s twice of what the dildo salesman sold Dmitri Payet for

Seems like an odd thing to celebrate.

I’m also withdrawing my support for the Football Association Cup for at least the next month and believe the competition should now be downgraded to obscure midweek slots, at least until such time as penalty shoot-outs are eliminated, the draw returns to a traditional format with balls pulled from a velvet bag, the semi-finals return to being played at Villa Park/Maine Road/Elland Road/Highbury/White Hart Lane/Highfield Road, and the final is played at the old Wembley Stadium (the one with a dog track) with a 3pm kick-off.

Everton’s elimination yesterday, thereby preventing a Liverpool-Everton final for the 28th season in a row, reinforces my view.

The annual shtick of “the magic of the Cup”, “it’s the competition that everybody talks about”, “the greatest Cup competition in the world” is wearing very thin - none of this is true.

The competition is now a nuisance.

When a competition has to rely on such saccharine marketing shtick to drum up interest, it’s proof of the competition’s irrelevance.

Compare that to how the BDO World Championship at Lakeside has held onto its cherished traditions and thus remains the sport’s showpiece event that it always has been…

Grand old FA Cup, how could I have ever doubted you.

Welcome back, old friend, welcome back.

Remarkable restraint from the Man City fans. Wigan supporters are scum, its a well known fact.

The fat lad at the end with his top off wiggling his titties and belly at the City fans

[thedancingbaby]

What were the City fans hanging around for ?

Sad that fans cant enjoy their win, without taunting opposition supporters. Just a small club mentality.

[the_man_himself]

Away fans often aren’t allowed to leave for a while after the game to prevent crowd trouble on the streets

[anon61956325]

That’s association football at its best… half a billion worth of talent bate out the gate …ave some of my tits you bastards

Surely a seasoned association football attendee such as @thedancingbaby would be aware of this?

On any given Monday night, bro.

[anon61956325]

It would make you wonder alright.

[Bandage]

That’s tremendous. Pavement dancing is great but grass dancing is even better. It’s always a source of amusement to me when football supporters take umbrage at being goaded after a defeat. It’s part of the supporter experience - giving and taking abuse. Of course Wigan supporters are going to milk that. Like @thedancingbaby I thought keeping away supporters in the ground was only applicable for European games rather than domestic ones.

[thedancingbaby]

From the video you can see loads of City fans have already left.

[anon61956325]

It generally is but not always- local games / derbies are different…Liverpool / Man U fans are kept back … and North London derby etc… I dont know if this was the case last night.

[thedancingbaby]

Yes, I have never been kept back at Ibrox or Tynecastle.

In fact @Funtime and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy left Tynecastle a couple of minutes early so they could get round to the home end and “meet” the Jambos on the way out.
