Long time Swedish blue

Welcome to GOT.
Your thread name, long time 'Swedish Blue', I couldn't help but think of porno's I used to watch when I was a naughty teenager, many moons ago.
 

Haaha, what a funny and nice bunch of people you all seem to be. Don't understand the internal jokes here yet, obviously...but NO i do NOT LIKE PINEAPPLE ON A PIZZA!

Old american cars
I like to look at but that's about it. However, my home city, Västerås, hosts one of the biggest events for old cars (and their owners ;)) in the world. It's called "Power big meet". I don't know how many tens of thousands of people that come every year, from New Zealand to Mexico and all around the globe. I'm sure quite a lot of ppl on this board have been there. I live about 300 m from the HQ of that event...it's arranged in the first weekend in July, so soon time for it again!

As for music, it's one of swedens biggest exports believe it or not. At least it used to be, back in the old days when ppl bought CDs.....Roxette, ABBA, Ace of Base, all that crap...and then Sweden and Norway totally dominate the black/death metal scene. That's more my cup of tea :)
 

...grew up with PL. Fell for Everton at age 11. 34 now, looking forward to next season as no other. I have only been reading here before, let's change that now!

I've been to Liverpool twice, seen one Merseyside derby at Goodison...around year 2000 I think. 0-0, RS keeper shot a blue in the head and the ball crossed the line at 90 min...ref disallowed the goal. Rarely been so crazy angry in my life. Anyone here that knows off the top of the head what year that was? Fowler was there, Dunne, Unsworth, McAllister (I think)...one truly sick game.

Trivia:

Do have: Wife, 5 yr old son (who is already an Evertonian), solid job.
Do not have: A lot of money :)
Like: Football, beer, politics, music, books, conspiracy theories, ice hockey, sleep
Do not like: "Popular" music, RS, stress, my boss.

Welcome to GOT. How good was Peter Forsberg exactly? I never liked him because he played for a rival team, but I understand he was pretty good. And how much better are you Swedes at hockey than Suomi? Be honest.

Thanks!

Peter Forsberg was, at his peak, probably top 3 in the world. He was always best in the important games as well. (Actually, my surname is Forsberg as well, not related though ;)). I remember one game in the beginning of the 2000s, when Finland were up 5-1 on Sweden until Peter woke up, and Sweden scored 5 straight quick goals and won 6-5. Was a playoff-game as well...

In Sweden, football and ice-hockey are sort of side by side when it comes to popularity. In Finland, ice-hockey is cleary the national sport, and football quite far behind. Finland and Sweden are about equal at ice-hockey. Sweden is a bigger country, so we SHOULD be better, but since ice-hockey is so extremely popular in Finland, they are probably best in the world if you take the size of country into consideration (or the population, rather).

Had an English friend in high-school. Boy had he difficulties even standing still on the skates....not in your genes I guess. Just like cricket/pool/darts etc are not in swedish genes :)
