One thing that really pisses me off is people saying the stadiums are sh*t and the standard is sh*t, how do you expect to improve these without getting punters through the gate.

In fairness at least he has finally broadened his posting range to something that isnt Chelsea or the arse falling out of the premier league. Although i think he may be going down the route of the later.

You are just covering your own back here cos everyone knows that you go to a lot of Arsenal games as well as a lot of Drogs games, people are entitled to their opinion on the leagues and if people would rather go over a couple of times a season to watch the team they support rather than go to LOI football then that is their choice, think what you like of them but you are not better or worse for how you spend your money, each to their own and fuk all the EPL haters, I don't come on here asking how you all can go and watch the games every week and slate ya for it so what gives you the right to slate any EPL fans? None, simple as that, come back with all your **** mongoloid sl*ggings, I don't want to hear it as it is very repetitive at this stage.

if hes going to old trafford sunday week i might buy him an alcoholic beverage of his choice but i dont think he will leave the terracing of his living room so ill send a six pack of wifebeater round to him in a taxi so he can chill back and have  abeer see what the lads on sky have to say about the game before he come sback on here and repeats what they said on some ybig threads Wink

The point im I'm trying to make is you watch just as much wank in the EPL as you do in the LOI, no matter what club you support, the LOI just hasn't the profile or hype of the EPL and in the latters case you spend over 20 times more following a British team who don't give a f**k about you.

So i take it you dont watch Arsenal when they are on the box?
Or if so, what is the minimum amount of games a person should attend to be deemed a Superfan like yourself?

You're implying that LOI isn't a good standard of football. I can guarantee you that Cork City v Shelbourne last week was more entertaining than any EPL game this weekend. 5 goals, an electric atmosphere and great football that shows how good LOI poayers can be when they have 3,000 heads supporting them the whole game. How many EPL games had an electric atmosphere(or any atmosphere for that matter), 5 goals and super football???

Can't say I know any fan of an english club who has ever gone to no games during season and shelled out a sh*t load for a cup final ticket, your point is not valid there Q, need some new material for LOI non goers and also your personal sl*gs on here, I am sure whatever ya come up with will last for the next couple of years, I look forward to reading them Sleepy

I have no problem with it kid, living in Dublin wouldn't help form a good opinion of LOI, you're more than welcome to emigrate to Cork and get a taste of Irish football at it's best
