Amazing keeper. The only Inter player I'd want at Juve. I wonder what the record is.

My first game was watching Liverpool thrash a Singapore XI 5-0 when they came over.

Second game was watching Chelsea play a Malaysia XI back in 2011. Highlights were Benayoun getting booed for being Israeli and nearly getting crushed to death outside the stadium and while waiting for the trains with the shoddy organization.

Pretty much all the footy I've been to live. I'm the most plastic of plastic supporters.

I created 11 players on the editor with a CA of 150, a PA of 200, jacked up their stats even more on the in-game editor after a few seasons and win every game 6-0.

Also, Gullit became manager of Man United.

The proper way to play FM.

Watching my dad play, I imagine. Lowest possible rung of the professional ladder.

He was a sweeper. We still have a newspaper cutting in which he was described as "disconcertingly slow on the turn".

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Jermaine Jenas, the former England, Newcastle and Tottenham midfielder, is joining the BBC as a football pundit.

Jenas, 31, recently on Match of the Day and Football Focus, has agreed a two-year contract with BBC Sport to feature on television, radio and online.

JJ is surprisingly well-spoken, I think he can have a good career on TV. Shame we will have to endure another 20 years of Alan Shearer.

I don't remember how about that. Call it repressed memories if you will, considering my dad is a Brøndby supporter and brought me to those when I was still really young.

Always surprises me when someone changes team from what their dad wants. Alan Davies who is a celeb Arsenal fan use to go to Spurs games as a boy. I forgot why he supports Arsenal, how comes you changed to Copenhagen?

We lost.

I have never seen Arsenal lose at home, only defeat i have seen was when I went away to watch Spurs in 97. Haven't been to an away game since

I remember being at the ground with my Dad and his friend but that is pretty much it. My Dad wanted me to support Liverpool but once I went to my first live game at Chelsea and the fact my brother was a Chelsea fan, made me choose Chelsea! I've been plenty of times since, The first game I remember something from was a Chelsea/Spurs game in the league where Zola scored a free kick.

Arsenal vs Liverpool Charity Shield Final 2002 at the Millennium Stadium


I didn't really care about football back then, but still cried when we lost because I was a snivelling little twat and I went with my older brother who supports Arsenal :p

Still the only Liverpool game I've been to which is pretty shameful, been to 2 Arsenal games since. Maybe I should just support them instead.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace at Selhurst park, (cant remember the year but late 90's) never forget it. Think Ian Wright scored twice, really first time I understood how quick football really was in comparison to TV.

Everton vs Liverpool 1997, I sat in the away end with my Dad when I was five years old. Duncan Ferguson and Jamie Redknapp scored in a 1-1 draw with two red cards :lol.

I went my first home game the following season, and I got my season ticket in the Main Stand in Anfield when I was 15, which I've had for 6 years now.

First 'real' away was a much more memorable experience, when Bolton beat Liverpool 3-1 in 2012 :(.

Sitting on the top row at the Emirates really drives home how fucking gigantic a football pitch is

Like, I watch it on TV and think 'how can you not be able to accurately pass it 35 yards?' or 'why aren't you sprinting back at full pelt in the 90th minute?' but you watch it from an almost birds eye view and realise that its an achievement just to be able to jog up and down the pitch for an entire match

Really nice stadium btw. Pitch looks like velvet as well :p

My first game was Saints vs Newcastle in early 1997 at the Dell. I must have been 7.

Don't remember much but Le Tissier scored a worldie in the last minute. Pretty sure it was a draw.
