Bizarrely she's an Arsenal fan

She's an RS fan.

Used to write in The Times, she took every opportunity to mention them, no matter what sport or topic she was writing about.

One of my highlights is the assist for Tricky in 85 season v Sunderland I think, unbelievable. The weight, the vision, the pass.

Aye a famous game that. His acrobatic pass to Reid for Grey's goal of the season was also genius.

Surely it's 'AN RS' not 'A RS' it's the sound not the letter i.e 'AN HOTEL' pedantic? moi?

Here's some examples.
A Rs
A kopite
An annoying tit in a red top.

As much as I'd hate to see it your statement above makes a good case for this European Super league does it not?

I think it's what all the top clubs want, you see united struggling to get into the CL every year now, they'd love the guaranteed income. But it isn't a game, they'd find it'd be a bit lame after a few years when they don't actually have any driving force of having to qualify.

i know a few who did that in Athens, they organised attack on the entrance, when I pointed out how funny it was that the real fans where left outside crying, their response was, f&%£ing wools.

I have today been talking to a woman in work who goes every game. Home and away, Europe etc. Kop ST holder.
Her and her fella have two tickets for Madrid, and rightly so. ( live down south so a home is a treck too btw. ).
Her hotel has been cancelled so the owner can sell it for more and their journey via Marseille and Bilbao sounds a ball ache.

What struck me is what she said next, and she's a proper Scouser.
" I'm telling everyone that I'm travelling without a ticket and hope to get one near the ground, or else we will have the weirdos trying to get them off us."

I didn't press anymore with what she meant by that, but I certainly can hazard a guess.

Stay classy Liverpool FC.

Been like that forever. I vividly recall being taken to a Liverpool Leeds match, (Big game back then), in the early 1970s with my Dad (blue) and Uncle (red). Uncle had got 3 tickets for the stand somehow. Anyrate, I was an excited 7 or 8 year old, gazing at my ticket, and my Uncle grabbed it back from me, and rammed it back in his wallet when one or two blokes made a bee line for me.
