Huh? Yeah, yuppies in Regents Park maybe.

If you only knew how many times I've tried to assemble a team ... but no bugger's got a glove! This is my theory why soccer is the dominant sport here - limies are such tight-asses that they only take up games that require the least equipment. "Aye, all that brass fer a fookin' wooden bat an t'it glove!? Booger that, pal - I've me footie an me ferrets - both of which just need a good kickin', an nowt else. An proper football, mind - not like wot yer poncey skirt and hairband-wearing Euro-poofs play, no. We 'ad real players - centre-halves that would break yer legs if you even looked at the penalty box, forwards that were seven foot tall - and the ball was made of lead - none of this poncey soft leather. You 'ad a brain tumour every time you met a cross - but there weren't no girlie substitutions - you just ran it off. An the matches were longer - we'd play fer six months - naked! On a twelve-mile pitch... wi' trained snipers to keep us on our toes... Jumpers for goalposts? We 'ad to use our own skin..."

Shameless plug. (Please forgive me.)

Definitely not Yuppies This is the team I play for - webpage doesn't work too well in Firefox due to the weird jscript menu at the top - and I can safely say that you'd be right at home with this lot Spungo. Just look at the site!

Setting up a team is pretty hard to do, and keeping one running even worse (we just to run the Leeds lil' kid team a while back, and that folded about the same time as the Leeds seniors). If you want to play you're best looking for a well established team near you, the BSUK website has some nifty "find a team" features.
