Get a reputation and next thing it makes it to the other side of the world that there is some disturbance in Croydon! Give it a rest.

And the last three minutes of the game were the most painful I have ever had to sit through. I didn't smash anything, but I nearly cried! Nevermind, there is a way to go yet.

Sometimes, people take sports too seriously, even to the point of death.

Fucking retards.

it was an incredible finish. French took the win in the last 2 minutes. I watched that game and felt sorry for the English
