Thought this would be a fun little group bonding exercise for us lovely buddies to get along even better.

Mine’s of former Leicester winger Anthony Knockaert after this unfortunate incident. Still ranks as one of my greatest football moments I was alive to see, even better than Aguero’s goal vs QPR and Zidane's headbutt

Christchurch Rangers AFC, founded 1910 and played at Rangers Park, 

First game I attended was in 1983 for Southern League play-off against and that was the beginning of my support for Rangers. As a kid I went to all their games and then later when living in Dunedin I still made it to as many games as poss.

Rangers are sadly no more after merging with New Brighton (who are ya?!) to become Coastal Spirit.

I was pretty pissed about the merger and didn't go to any coastal games for quite a few years. But a few seasons ago I decided it was time to accept Rangers fate and I started going along to see Coastal play.

Rangers Park was such an awesome ground: great clubrooms, friendly people,floodlights,the last of the summer wine on the embankment etc, nice trees, saw many memorable games there. 

Now its a block of houses...

I just used a picture of myself.

Honestly though, my username is the title of a song by my favourite band, Kyuss. I found this image doing a Google image search for Kyuss for some reason and just thought nothing says football fan like flaming skulls and battle-axes.

Also, everyone should listen to Kyuss.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.

If only our players went out and fought like they had flaming skulls and battle-axes. It might show that they really are trying.

Few years back, on the Arsenal thread, the debate between pro-wengers and anti-wengers got rather heated between myself and another forumite. Another poster likened us to the famous "Claude and Ty" on youtube who would often argue in a similar manner. So I took on the mantle of Ty, possibly the most optimistic arsenal fan of all time, and found this great pic of him, rocking his arsenal memorabilia as only he can. 

Time has passed, the optimism has gone, us arsenal fans are all completely dead inside, and yet my avatar happily remains.

Paul Westerberg (his birthday today, 31 December) provides the eye-roll in my pic. From the video for "Merry Go Round" by The Replacements:

The Replacements... what a band. Love them. 

Have a listen to the tracks "I just might" or "We disappear" by Ryan Adams. He's definitely been influenced by the Replacements in his last couple of albums and his sound is amazing as a result.
