5 Premiership winners, 2 FA cup Winners, A Carling Cup Winner and A Champions League Winner all in that line - up which isn't bad considering.
It's William Prunier by the way, a pal of Eric's I think.
Now I wonder if we did a worst ever Chelsea Line - up how many medal winners in that team there would be?

Could we get just one Topic titled 'English Football' club or something? Perhaps another for the Euro Cup that will be coming soon ( HUP HOLLAND HUP!!!! ).

Hmm a collection of good natured pub footballers on both sides, just playing for the sheer fun of it.
Then I'd sack the players make them get real jobs, and use their bloated wage packets for something useful

Can't understand why Chelsea don't play Drogba and Anelka in a 4-4-2. Would've won them the league AND made them watchable...

wright-phillips? joke, surely.
Chelsea will win this, 2-1 - will be putting a tenner on that.
Also, the reason they can't play 4-4-2 is that for the last four years they have been playing a totally different system. To change now (or even in Jan when Anelka came in) would be foolish. Maybe over the summer this might be viable.

Most of the Football (North American Football) players in the Canadian Football League have day jobs. We don't pay very well.

I played a bit in high school but that was it. I'm much to thin to be a football player. Good for every other sport though!

Being thin may well cause problems for some people trying to make it as a footballer, then again, you'd think being short would also be a problem, but many of the world's greatest footballers were really small men, e.g. Maradona, Romario, Baggio, Zola, Muller, Zico, Puskas, Owen, Greaves, Matthews, Juniniho, Papin, Robbie Fowler (he was great once, remember?), Beardsley, Brady, Abedi Pele (the Ghanaian, not the Brazilizn. Then again, even the Brazilian Pele was only 5ft 9"), Mattheaus, Ockocha, Carlos, Scholes, Hagi, Kinkladze, Del Piero, Davids, Overmars, Dalgleish, Keegan, Ball, Nevin (okay, Pat Nevin wasn't as great as the others, but he was my favourite player, when I was a kid) - I don't think any of these players were over 5ft 8".

Why is it called Football though when most of the time they throw it or run around holding it in their hands?

Because they're stupid.

Shit! You were talking about being too thin for AMERICAN football, and I wasted about 20 minutes thinking up all of those names, thinking you were talking about our version of football!!

What a ridiculous comment. Why perpetuate a truly lazy stereotype?
It's true, they do not have the same academic qualifictions as people who have gone through the education system in it's entirety. Essentially, they begin fulltime work at around 15/16 years of age. However, anyone who only measures intelligence in terms of academic qualifications is an absolute knob - and for the record, I have a First Class degree and am also studying for an MA.

I was watching some football in the pub, and the barmaid said "I don't know anything about football, I support Man Utd." I offer her remark here, without comment.
