There are about 84 million things I care more about if I am honest mate.

Just try it though: "The Everton".

lol

Ludicrous.

Sounds daft. The thing that grinds my gears more, and most supporters do it, is always referring to their club, (usually on a phone in on radio), not as Spurs, or Liverpool, or Everton, but as *random team* "FOOTBALL CLUB."

The only time that is acceptable would be from a Milton Kenyes supporter, cos the reason for their call would need to be clarified as football related.

Ha Ha. Defo that for me too.

The Kopites are notorious for it.

Self important spanners.

I think i know what they call us mate, and i dont see the problem with "the" its no sense of entitlement, its just a name

Crossmaglen Rangers, the greatest club ever in GAA, don’t feel the entitlement to a ‘The’.

And they have existed considerably longer than Newco FC.

When people over here talk about where they play or played university sports, there are some who put an emphasized THE in front of the school. By far the worst is THE Ohio State University. Drives me up THE freaking wall.

The Newco.

The Huns

GBH on signing Lafferty:

"I was raw, I made mistakes. I got over-excited and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I love that in a footballer. With age and experience, I matured and calmed down."

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

"The Villa". That's another one.

Imagine calling your team "the" anything?

Lordy.

No .
It's shi@ on the villa.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Genuinely never heard this. And I speak to plenty of their fans.

I always thought it was Rangers. (no Glasgow )
Then after the newco stuff it was officially The Rangers.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Kyle Lafferty having a medical at the Rangers, will be a good addition to their squad.

He's got baggage which he's managed to curtail.
Just hope he doesn't revert to type when he goes back to Ibrox.
Shame he's going.
Hearts need him .

Not as many titles though, are they still as good as they used to be ??

Lordy.

The only "the" is "The Arsenal".

And even that sounds completely daft.

The sh*te ?
