Just the football for me, the rugby is on at the same time so i cant watch both!

:laugh:

Idiots.

F1 & football for me, probably get halfway through the footy and trun it off in a rage.

I will be watching the Football, as we should be able to beat the Septics at rugby. Especially as they will probably be throwing it forwards a lot, and I should imagine our guys will be able to outrun their armour clad chaps too.

I'm off to Wembley and if I wasn't there would still only be one event I'd have the slightest interest in.

Shame to say I could hardly name a single player in the England cricket or rugby teams. I have had no interest in cricket since Cronje was banned for match fixing (my disillusionment just didn't fade with time) nor in rugby since the whole set-up became a farce where the champions didn't necessarily win the title.

I could just as easily fall out of love with top class football. Many modern aspects of the game disgust me and for some time now I've found I probably enjoy the Academy and Reserves matches more than the first team.

Its not so sodding stage managed and pretentious for a start. There's an easy atmosphere with barely a steward in sight. You can stand or sit down. The crowds are smaller so you get to know folk and there's often a decent bit of banter. You don't have to stand in an endless queue for a coffee and burger nor for the bar afterwards and it doesn't cost a fortune for a cramped seat.

Most of all though the games are usually entertaining. You're so close to the game you can hear the manager's and coaches barking out their instructions and there's not the same fear-of-losing factor you get with the first team.

The whole experience is of a good morning or evening out. You feel like a proper fan I suppose instead of feeling like you're sandwiched into a largely sterile environment.

So why am I going to Wembley? Simply because my son's given me a ticket. I'm looking forward to what will be a new experience and to his always enjoyable company. But I'm not looking forward to the queues, the traffic jams, the inevitable rip offs and the idea of McLaren's score-one-and-hold-it football. But hope springs eternal....

I'm at a Wedding in Windsor (very posh do) and about 40 of us immediate friends and family are staying in a hotel nearby overnight as my cousin (the bride) wanted to wake up with all her closest friends and family members. FFS what a choice of dates to have a wedding the selfish cow. Still, the good news is I have split up again with the ex I was messing about with so have the perfect chance to get lucky at a big old fat Greek/English wedding. :thumbup:

Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary so there's a good chance that if I spend it watching sport then it might be my last one!

So I'll be watching the cricket from the start, watching GP qualifying, turning to the footie at 5.00 then watching the rugger straight after the footie which I will have sensibly recorded due to w**k scheduling...oh and I might fit one of those in at half-time too.

Divorce papers in the post on Monday!

She is a full blown nympho who enjoys inbreeding. :thumbup:

I wish I didn't bother to be honest as it takes care of my Saturday and Sunday and I`d much rather be playing pitch and putt early and be in the pub with mates downing a few beers watching the sports, or even a home BBQ watching the sports drinking and eating. I doubt we`ll get another sunny weekend in the whole year!

Anyway, heres hoping England come through unscathed and in a strong position and that Hamilton gets a further grip of the championship. As for the rugby, we have no hope. :S

Sounds like she's from the West Wight where the family tree has no branches!!

Hope she has a good day!

She is Greek Cypriot like me which is the same thing lol. She is marrying an English dude about 12 years younger than her (she is 37 and rich, he is 25 and skint). Its bound to end in tears lol
