They’re vile. At the recent CFC v THFC game at the bridge they were they’re usual charming selves “spurs are on their way to belsen” etc. Then they were signing Abramovich’s praises. The thick cunts hadn’t realised that Abramovich is jewish. I actually hate them more than the filth. At least the South London Travelling Folk have actually won something, unlike the trappy wankers at the Bridge. In other news spurs most recent signing was announced today - a poet-in residence. For fuck’s sake. ---

Oh well, I was right after all. Picking up my winnings will be no consolation for what should have been a victory, or at the very least a draw. Two penalties turned down. Pah! I am very happy for Millwall though. I have several good friends who are 'wall fans, and they are so very happy about a cup final and a euro jaunt (hopefully not to Turkey!) that I can’t begrudge them their happiness. Oh and Beckham’s been playing away - who’d a thunk it? ---

Leeds 3 Leicester 2. _SIGH_ We gave away two stupid goals (thank you Matt Heath you useless arsehole) Then we got two pretty good goals back. Both sides had more chances, both keepers made some good saves. For the neutral, I understand this would have been an “exciting” game. At 2-2 I was happy, we looked most likely to get the next goal, Freund and Canero had a couple of shots but without enough power or control to really pose a threat. Then we let Pennant get away AGAIN and left Viduka unmarked and it’s a fairly easy goal for Alan Smith. NO POINTS AT ALL. Good GOD when will those dozy twats at the back learn the difference between defending and just standing there. If you think someone’s an inch offside, you don’t root yourself to the ground and hope the assistant will flag it. BECAUSE HE WON’T. I mean, I know I’m a stupid middle class little girl who tries and fails to get in at the grown up table where they talk about sport and politics, BUT I actually don’t think I’m that wrong here. DEFEND. NOT JUST STAND THERE EITHER DAZED BY THE PACE OR WAITING FOR THE FLAG. YOU IDIOTS. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-footie-focus-march/231895.md?page=6)
