I like this....

Surprisingly, given Roman Abramovich's ownership of Chelsea, Manchester United appear more popular in Russia. "We like Wayne Rooney a lot in Russia. He's very popular. He looks like Shrek," said Ruslan Matveev, 26. "Manchester United are going to win 3-0," he predicted.

And yet, according to Martina Petrova (26) from Moscow, "Cristiano Ronaldo looks too much like a ladyboy so I pick Chelski to win 2-1 after extra time".

I concur with both.

ffs, you've got the sand pit for the off topic threads, and the locker room for the sports chat, use them

arbroath_abroad

isnt discussing the football amongst ME posters off topic and for the sandpit..

like my following:

What local time is the KO and what channel is it on?

Fairydust

2245 think its only on one of the art channels

arbroath_abroad

2245? is that not the local time in Moscow also?

Bonny Boy

Kick-off is 1945 BST, makes it 2245 in DXB.

arbroath_abroad

cheers, but that makes the KO is Moscow 2245...

Christ Ronaldo is usually out 'dogging' by that time....

Spugsy

oh boo hoo man, I'm sure people aren't massively offended by this thread being in here, you stupid little hitler.

Spugsy

aye it is late in Moscow mate.

Bonny Boy

If they kicked off early evening Moscow time, people in the UK would be coming down sick in droves this afternoon to get home early.

a mate of mine was travelling and working in Holland when the world cup was on, he was working packing frozed ice lollies and teh england game was on, he couldn't get time off so he said to his boss "I think I'm going to be sick", ran outside, kept and going and ran all the way to the pub.

Heh, he went back to work the next day and was sacked.
