теперь точно пора...гле Кевин там Тарпедо

Виктор Артамонов!
И не исключено, придется тебе после такого сращения работать не только за себя:))

Серёж... Я уж и так не знаю, за кого только я не работаю... Но я готов ещё поднапрячься...

Теперь объединение исключено! Они теперь матерые горожане,наш бренд им только обузой будет.

"Овощ, не грусти".

Privet Viktor, our Thai chairman Thaksin Shinawatra has forged links with 3 clubs, FC Moscow, Shanghai Shen Hua from China and Thanda Royal Zulu FC of South Africa. I am not sure why he chose FC Moscow but rest assured that my loyalties will always lie with Torpedo :-)

Зулусы, Кетайцы, ФК Москва...

Zulus and Beekeepers ! :-)

Kesha, we also call them "garazháne" - made of "gorozhane" (the citizens) and "garazh" (a garage).

It's strange, because MCFC official nickname is also 'The Citizens'. Maybe that's why we have the link?

Kesha, actually it is the official reason behind the link. Soon after FC Moscow was formed, they started to promote themselves as the city club, "the citizens", which was an obvious steal from MCFC. Torpedo fans tried to oppose against this nickname, but our voice is not so strong nowadays.

And the media likes this name, because they need to call them somehow. "The Beekepers" or "The Caps" are not politically correct :-)

Thanks foe explanation, it makes sense now. Maybe we will play them in a friendly game. I only know one person from this club, he is food friend of Misha's. Why do Torpedo call them 'The Beekeepers'?

Whoops! 'Good friend', not 'Food friend'.

Kesha, in Misha's case "food friend" makes sense, too. :-)

"The Beekepers" is because of Mr. Luzhkov, the Mayor of Moscow, who's patronizing FC Moscow. He's famous for keeping bees and wearing leather caps (click here). That's why the other popular nickname of this club is "The Caps".

One name which is now forgotten but still worth mentioning is "The Asscovers" (= seat covers, offered by the club administration to attract more spectators to FC Moscow games).

Ha, ha, you do have a point there, Misha does like his food :-)
I understand now, Mr.Luzhkov is famous for his leather caps.
The 'asscovers' is a good nickname.
I went to their Stadium in 2002, if i remember correctly it was predominantley green and white and quite small?

Kesha, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduard_Streltsov_Stadium

Thanks, i think this is the Stadium. I have found the magazine from the game, it was Torpedo Metallurst v Krylia Sovetov, 17th May 2003. Torpedo Metallurst were 14th place in league, Torpedo Moscow were 1st!!! I have heard many good stories about Eduard Strelsov :-)

Под моим другом из команды Пчеловодов,Кеша понимает Васю Петракова:))

Хорошие воспоминания. И так недавно было ... Все же такие скачки не могут быть результатом обычной эволюции.

Газпром "желает" по самые гланды проспансировать "Партизан". Знаете такую команду? Чёрно-белую...
Может другой чёрно-белой команде дать денег? Глядишь - и станет команда через два года ЧЕМПИОНОМ?)))
