Personally
Forward Russia.
I speak as a football fan and part-time genius.
Well
iForward Russia! suck, but personally I find it difficult to engage in games like AC-Barca, so I'd choose to do neither. Record an EP instead.
AC-Barca
It's going to be 6-6
Forward russia
Obviously!
ooooh
it stands at 2-1.5 (i interpreted pigfoot's response in my own unique way to add some spice to it).
I'm also a bit sceptical about tonight's game being any good, but with ronaldinho, messi etc you never know
fr!
there will be replays. & it's only the first leg.
buuut, barca v. milan..... kaka v. ronaldinho..... fuuuuuck yeah.
I'd watch AC Milan v Barcalona
I saw Forward Russia last Wednesday and they were alright but a night in and footy sounds better to me.
BARCELONA vs. MILAN!
Shevchenko, Ronaldinho, Kaka... NO CONTEST! Shame Messi ain't gonna be playing tonight though.
go for the football
i think. If only for Ronaldinho. I have a similar dillema with the arsenal game, or the schla la la's tomorrow night.
Barcelona-Milan
methinks. You will surely be able to see Forward Russia again some time soon.
Big matches always disappoint
and besides, there's the second leg (ie the important one) in a fortnight or so. Go see the band.
gig over football every time
football is poo.
ok just read your actual post
ignore my opinion; though i do like playing football, watching it bores me.
enjoy whichever you choose!
damn
i thought this would be sorted nice and quickly, but after FR's strong start it looks like Ronaldinho and co may get the nod
Forward russia
I once bought forward russia and go team tickets for the same night without realising it, then on the night decided to go and see forward russia.
I didnt get in as it was 18+, so i didnt get to see either band.
True story.
And the moral is: eh...
go see Forward Russia
and watch the football highlights.
go to the gig
record the football
but at a push go and see forward russia, you can't beat actually being at a live event doesn't matter if it's sport or music always choose the one you can go to over the one you can virtually be at.
Forward russia
even if i don't like them.
I'll do anything not to see the team that beated Lyon.
In fact I'm going to see the remake of the Fog...
Dont
I saw it in america last october.
Its absolute shit.
you were right !
Should have stay home and listen to music.
I was sure it was bad, but not THAT bad...
should have gone see
Under Byen and St Etienne.
But it was too expensive...
FOOTBALL
easy
now you've done it
you've made my decision whether to go even tougher now
no money & no friends & knackeredness = rather fed up gig
knackeredness & slobbing on sofa & football & early night = quite a good call
Barca v AC, easy choice, its gonna rock harder than limestone.
hate to spoil the party but the football finished ages ago now and Forward Russia may well also be nearly done.
football's gay...
forward russia are good!
!
I wonder if in another dimension, on another world, the close-minded people of that planet use "being straight" as a derogatory term...
Mmmm...
Also, I bet in that topsy tervy world the kids pay attention in English.
Anyway, I went with the football. It was great.
Sorry if I caused some in adverted offence by seeming to use "gay" as a semi derogatory term which was not meant to be taken as such or seriously at all. It was just a throw away comment on the internet after all...
Also the simile there of the masculine, macho "Football" being used with the term for homosexuality "Gay" and the connotations that come with both words, was quite ingenious I thought.
This is so not an issue and was meant to be taken as a joke, a bit of silly nonsense which I thought was preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttyyyy obvious and I'm only really posting this because I feel like I have to defend my comment when it's been called up. Yadda Yadda Yadda Yadda.
Now let's forget all our problems with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream.
I went and played football
against Russia. Good forwards.
footie
would rather put my head next to a pneumatic drill for two years then listen to FR... i'd probably get less permanent hearing damage as well
