Wow, you don't like sport? Cool.

I hope that it is more character based than sport based.

*deepest gloom*

Football - it's a funny old game (Jimmy Greaves probably :roll:

)

Football's not a matter of life death - it's a lot more important than that! (St. Bob Shankly)

I think it's more a case of how Terry will stop himself from overdoing the parody... :evil:

oh god (hold head in hands) i am a massive football fan, I can only hope this is TP's vision of Discworld football in his own style.

I'm sure that he doesnt need to borrow from well worn football cliches his stuff is funnier.

(please dont talk anymore about football can feel my arms growing and knucles dragging on the floor, can help it this is supposed to be a haven from my heathen rantings lol)

I wonder if it will be more like the origins of football - one village against another and a free for all kicking a bladder until no one was left standing. :lol:

That sounds more like A-M to me. :wink:

Utter carnage - although before the bladder wasn't it... erm... yeah :twisted:

Although that wasn't for friendly fixtures of course

It certainly looks like him. He's got to be the ultimate referee. :lol:

Welcome to the site SpiderFromMars.

I think we can also see Ridcully, Rincewind, Ponder Stibbons and the Luggage. Wonder who puts the Luggage's boots on...
