Wussy Nicknames
The game against Preston this weekend made me wonder why the hell they have such a pathetic nickname? To name yourself after a colour (reds, blues, whites) shows all the imagination of a castrated crapweasel, but PNE have made it even worse by calling themselves the Lilywhites. How femtastic!
It also got me thinking about other unmanly nicknames. For example, the Robins and the Canaries - why would you want to allude that your team is prey? What other inappropriate nicknames are there?

Hugh, nearly every team we have here is named after a colour.
Actually if you look not too closely at the brighton badge it's not a seagull but an arse, which makes their nickname the "Buttocks". |

I think Bromley are also The Lilywhites, although they used to be The Ravens.
What's with Wycombe's nickname... The Chairboys?

Choirboys. Yeah, that's pretty much a licence for pederast jokes isn't it?

Dodo extinct. Kiwi still thriving. If you were any stupider CJ, twice a day you'd need watering.
Ironically, there are almost no NZ sports teams nicknamed "Kiwis." The only one is the Mens Rugby League team.

Gee its not like someone from NZ to miss the point is it?
I was referring to the fact it is a flightless bird with no defences whatsoever, a light hearted comment that obviously missed the mark. Maybe you should knock off early and head to the pub? Must be getting towards beer o clock over there?

Who missed the point? I thought we were bantering...Never mind. To address your point, if you think the kiwi is defenseless, you've obviously never handled one.

I'm glad to see that our own David Jensen (b 1950) seems to have dropped his nickname 'Kid'. About 35 years late mind.
