When is it good etiquette to take your top off?

Pretty sure we volunteered another 10 grand on McAteer when we made a mere ??4,499,500 profit on him.

If you're thinking of Margaret Hassan, she had her head sawn off too. For some reason the media never seemed to regard this as much of a story as Ken Bigley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hassan

You get the gist. http://www.soccernews.nl/news/11800

I read that link and cannot see that comment you quote EG? Wenger condemns diving, advises all managers to fight against it and suggests a disciplinary solution, a little harsh to call him a winker in this instance. EG may have taken the quote from elsewhere. He says it near the bottom of this BBC article.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...nal/4842424.stm

2 bookings usually only 1 game ban isn't it?

Anti-statism refers to those who prefer a free-market economy i.e. without Government (state) intervention. Monetarists are generally anti-state. A monetarist is someone who proposes controlling money supply to control the economy. The most famous one being Maggie Thatcher.

No. All you need is a season ticket.

Are the semis in Cardiff?

Said that from day one. What has changed? Ownership has transferred from a small group of privileged people to an even smaller group of privileged people. Fans always owned next to nothing of the PLC and commercially its business as usual. Is it just an anti-Yank thing? What if the Glazers were British/Irish? It could just as easily have been Magnier/McManus.

Inspired by OO-George Oghani I seem to remember.

We have lost some fans by moving to Horwich. Problem is (for the people that care about atmosphere) they have been more than replaced by newer more sanitised football fans. Not a problem for the club yet as they're still selling 20,000 ST's and that's all they care about. If that figure dropped significantly, then perhaps they'd do something?

And to think certain people compared him to a "rhino"

aye just seen it #-o

Should be possible with Strauss, Pietersen and Flintoff in our line-up. Having Trescothick and Vaughan would have helped though Shah is a one-day player as well.

Aye it didn't look like the linesman could see it properly but Sky nor anyone else could say for sure he DIDNT see it. Cameras can play tricks. Fed up with Sky scapegoating the officials and doubting their integrity all the time when the players, managers and themselves are immune from it.

If there is 1 person Gardner struggles with it's Ronaldo. He's not alone in that though. Don't think Sam has yet worked out how to contain him. Unlike say Henry for instance.

Well said. Watched Fulham v Chelsea yesterday and there were times the game was virtually unreffable. The players particularly Chelsea put incredible pressure on all the officials. Gallas did a disgraceful challenge, the ref rightly sent him off and then Gallas incites the crowd with "going down" signals. What about players taking some responsibility? And Mourinho said Fulham players influenced the ref. Thats f??cking rich from him. Like Mike Dean said, they got the major decision in the game right and still he was being pilloried by Sky. Andy Gray thinks he is some kind of world authority. W??nker more like.

IMO playing upfront and the onus being to create something is more difficult than defending. If we expect him to create every time he gets the ball then that is unrealistic. And if a defender is under pressure, he will play the percentages and just boot it away but that isn't good enough if you're a forward. And this confidence thing - way too fragile for the East Lower then?? [-X

Had a suspicion it was to do with dog shit being toxic and horse shit not. Anyway, googled up the following watertight argument from Merseyside Police.... :^o

Agreed that racism isn't really a problem at our football grounds however.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/i...and/2989277.stm

I was too f??cked to network sorry.

Re-read my post. I said the British weren't thick enough to believe the link between 9/11 and Iraq. So Tony Blair promotes the WMD link. From experience, Americans generally are quite dumb about foreign affairs. My brother lives there by the way. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_ea...ast/2829213.stm Actually, Iraq was co-operating and the UN were doing something. They wanted more time to carry out inspections.

Hope that isn't aimed at me. I was broadly pro-war at the start but then again I bought the bullshit like a lot of other people. When hindsight proves they weren't a danger to other nations and at a cost of possibly more than 100,000 lives? That's 30 times more than the death toll of 9/11.
