La la la la, La la la la, La la la la la la, La la la la!!!!!!!!!

I'm celebrating today, because my football (soccer to you weird Americans) team, Sunderland, have avoided relegation from the English Premier League and both of our local rivals, Newcastle and Middlesbrough have been relegated. It's extremely hilarious.  It's fantastic. Words can't describe how happy I am.

I've been in the pub since 3 o'clock (now it's after 10 o'clock). First watching the football on the telly, and then celebrating the fantastic outcome. We've been celebrating like mad. Singing footballing songs, laughing at the crying Geordies on the TV, singing along to songs on the jukebox. It was just a fantastic. We played a few rounds of dominoes, while still celebrating, and just generally had a fantastic time. Many beers (and a couple of whiskeys) have been drank, and it's just a fantastic day.

I'm watching the matches on Match of the Day now, and I've still got a huge smile on my face. This is amazingly funny.

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention our shirt burning extravaganza. We burned a Newcastle shirt in celebration of this event. It was Brilliant.

I don't support Hull, but I'm glad they didn't go down, because they did so well at the start of the season. Newcastle though, it's gonna be strange to hear after all these years 'and now the Coca Cola Championship - Newcastle United 0 - ...'

I reckon Shearer should've put his name on the team sheet and had a go himself.

I think the whole concept of football and how it is so overblown atrocious, but there's no denying some games can be excellent.

@HazBazz: That's one of my favourite Mitchell & Webb skits. David Mitchell is one of the best comedians on the T.V at the moment.

Glad Sunderland stayed up, and as a Nottingham Forrest fan, it's great surviving isn't it? (Except for the fact that you played like crap to get in a relagation battle in the first place)

America is America, not just the United States, a whole lot more people in the continent of America call it football rather than soccer.

The term soccer originated in England, and is also used in Canada, South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Zimbabwe...  but who's counting?

If you call a sport by a slang term that means "association" without even knowing it then you are weird.

we call it "soccer" because it's cool to be anticonformist.  It's the same reason we don't use the metric system.  America is so goth.

Hmmm...why is this bumped? 
 
Still, on topic, I don't really get "soccer" or "football," whatever you call it. It seems like a fun sport but, yeah, not for me. Maybe I am just a "weird American." :P
