Following the huge disappointment caused by England's "defeat" I'm wondering if we can lift the gloom by relating some funny comments we have heard during a game, whether by a fan or a section of the crowd as a whole. So I hope some of you can throw in a few gems. I just ask you to keep it clean as I'm getting a bit sensitive in my old age.
I'll start it off with this: I'm pretty sure we were in the old Division One at the time (now the Championship) and I was sitting in the Lee (Leigh?) stand over the half-way line. Peter Taylor was in sole charge. It was a dire game and I swear most of the crowd were asleep. About halfway through the second half there was a helluva bang seeming to emanate from the directors' box. Immediately a wag behind me exclaimed: "Manager's shot iss'en!" Equally immediately the guy next to him (and in utter resignation) said: "He'd a missed!"
Priceless.

On evening many years ago, after I had put the kids to bed, I was on my way out to watch a Man Utd european match at the pub (we didn't have SkyTV). My missus had to have her moan and said "Sometimes I think you love Man Utd more than you love me!" I replied "I love MAN CITY more than I love you" ...and ran!

I used that one in the early 70s substitute Derby for Manu and Forest for feudal monarch's play thing. The lady in question didn't see the joke either. Couldn't resist though after she fed me the line.

Jordon Ibe was a joke and Ravel Morrison is another,ha ha ha.
Cocu was a funny man as was Phil Brown and Tommy Docherty wasn't very funny at all.

No Uncle, it is a very serious matter. Making Tommy captain turns him into Captain Tom and look how popular he was. It will be the making of him and I can see it now...Tommy collecting the European Cup from some dreadful Eufa bigwig. Then we can have a star on our shirts.

Classifying u18 who played in a cup match because the first team was isolating,as players of professional standing. Taking a depleted squad to its 23 player maximum there by circumventing the team from adding loans and out of contract players whilst under a soft tranfer embargo. EFL having a laugh

The club have said it will be a cash free stadium from now, on credit/debit and phone payments only in every transaction,. even the kiosks.
