You can beat eggs and you can beat carpets!!

44 undefeated, if we get to 45 will it be a record?? (Joke for you oldies there!)

Number 50 will be against Manchester United (you all remember them, they used to be good!)

Looking ahead number 75 will be against Spurs!! (Nobody remembers them!)

<font color="#7c9bc4"> When (if) you do get the record it will be a truly magnificent feat given the highly professional state of today’s football.

We passed the record at 43 matches last week. You Norvern git!

Yeah, but not strictly true as they're only undefeated in the league, United knocked them out of the cup last year.

Uh, I'm guessing this is another one of those soccer-things. :confused: (Shrugs shoulders and walks out.)

Yes, keep on winning Arsenal. Lots of people is getting rich now. hahaha! poor bookies though. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

"Football" is the correct term. ;)

I prefer the term soccer.

Football is AFL, Rugby league & Rugby Union.

What a strange world you must live in where the three sports you call football are all played primaily with the hands. Shouldn't they be called "handball"?

No, those sports you mentioned are Aussie Rules, League, and Rugby respectively.

Only Australian Rules Football. Could call itself football. The clarifier being they are Australian Rules. ;)

The offical correct term for the sport you call Soccer, is FOOTBALL. Doesn't matter what your preference is. Calling it soccer is incorrect. Only tow nations of the world call it soccer. Australia and America. Both those countries have it as a minority code.

Yet football is the most popular sport in the world, played and watched by more people than any other sport. Manchester United is the most popular and recognised sports franchise in the world. Yes even more than the Yankees.

On an international forum then, when we are dealing with people from all over the globe, it is polite to refer to the sport as it's proper name "Football" and not impose a bizzarre cultural imperialism by perpetuating incorrect labels.

Cheers and thanks

It's like a combination between water polo (on land) and basketball, and football (except they use their hands and not their feet)

No wall, yet the term is officially "handball". What you're calling handball is "court handball" or something. Wallball?
