Saw a quote about the Mayo football team that could have been made for Leeds:
"Mayo fans can handle despair, it's the hope that kills them!"
Ah here guys, at least Leeds United have won stuff in the past.
Spare a thought for the little city of Buffalo, the most cursed city in North American sport.

Never won a Superbowl despite making 4 of them in a row, one of which had a kick with 9 seconds left to win the game and put it "Wide Right".
Never won a Stanley Cup, lost in the finals twice, one of which they lost to a goal that was illegal.
Compared to these guys Leeds United have it pretty sweet

Not sure about any of those silly long distance races that you girls do, I'll be stearing well clear of them anyway. I have been trying to see what I can find out about local races already though and I think I'm going to miss the BHAA type races that I've had to keep me occupied in Dublin.
Will have to look into setting up something for London entries via a Boards Exiles PO Box. 0 -

ah no. c'mon we have the bragging rights in mayo.
in the last 20 (odd) years alone................listen to this..............
6 all ireland senior football finals
----did not win any. incl replay.
6 all ireland under 21 football finals
did not win any. (sorry won 1)
6 all ireland minor football finals
did not win any.
the above is fairly right. might be one or two off either way.
its a long drive from the back ars of belmullet to croke park and back.
in fairness its good crack up till about 4:30 on final day.
alot of people have gone to all these and continue to go back time and time again................imagine if the feckers won and ya werent there !
so i take issue with the buffalos. they have to prove themselves a bit more yet.
lost a few leagues / club finals etc but wont go there.

We were talking about this last Saturday. Sounds like a good opportunity. I've got a interview for a third level course tomorrow, if I don't get in I may be leaving myself. I had to leave in the 80's, never thought I be facing this prospect again. God, we really made a complete balls of this country:(Alternative* source of income is nearly sorted for robinph.
Unfortunately means I'll have to become the UK based chapter of Boards AC now.
* Alternative to the dole that is.0 -

True, Mayo are grade A chokers, however the Buffalo Bills making 4 Superbowls in a row (only team to ever do this) and lose all 4 (obviously only team to do this) does take some beating. You'd have thought they would have won at least one of them, and brought some joy to possibly the most loyal fans in the USA (They've been AWFUL for the last 10 years and still sell out 70,000 tickets for all their home games, incredible!).
Maybe the true winner in all this isnt a team, but instead an individual by the name of Jimmy White. Poor fella!0 -

...and not to mention all the club finals that have had a Mayo team taking part. + the odd victory here and there - Crossmolina 2001 and Ballina 2005.
BTW how about Clann Na Gael from Roscomon who reached 6 all-Ireland club finals in a row from 1985 to 1990 and lost them all.0 -

As a committed Gooner, the nightmare is beginning to unfold...'arry and the boys overtake us on the final day, for the first time since approx 1774:mad:
The only consolation is that surely he'll be doing a 5 year stretch at Her Majesty's Pleasure for tax evasion, next season....
As a fellow Gooner, the strange thing is it doesn't bother me in the least. This whole Spurs Arsenal thing "hatred" is one sided apart from the local North Londoners. Even at the games the whole "Stand up if you hate Tottenham" gets a quizzical if not disdainful response from most (to be fair a majority of our fans are too lazy/shy/posh to get off their padded seats and sing anyway). The real rivalry is with Chelsea and United.
Last night I was hoping for the draw so we would get 3rd and then for Spurs to clinch 4th.
It's the lesser of two evils, we can compete with Spurs in the transfer marker, if Citeh got 4th and Champions Leagie footie they could attract a calibre of player we could only dream of affording.
Maybe if Spurs start to challenge the rivalry can return but not when they will get knocked out in the pre lims of the Champs League:)
This may come back and bite me - oh well. :pac:0 -

Got a letter this morning saying my dole is about to run out and need to fill in a bunch of forms to see if I'm able to get the means tested version of it. Great timing there and that letter can go straight in the bin. 0
