Cant win em all I suppose, main thing is the result , does the team have sufficient investment to get promoted next season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think when watching shot-shy Norwich the phrase " FFS just hit the ****ing thing " sounds better but I get your drift 🙂 Edited August 8, 2020 by ......and Smith must score.

Absolutely. For pure sporting theatre you can’t beat a great test match or a great Ryder Cup IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they think their team mates don't know the rules? Surely it can't help with concentration when people are screaming at you when you're about to try and catch the ball. Stupid game. When does football start again? I often wonder why do the fans at Carrow Road shout "shoot" when Alex Tettey has the ball 30 yards from goal? Do they think Tettey doesn't know the rules?. Surely it can't help with concentration when 20,000 people are screaming at you when you're about to try and hit the target. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted August 9, 2020 The American golf fans that shout "get in the hole!" after every shot, even a drive on a par five, surely take the win in this particular competition? Alternatively, those in any sport who shout "come on!". Do they think the person they're shouting at has forgotten they're in a sporting event and might be about to sit down and take a nap?
