Birmingham midfielder Alexander Hleb says that moving to St Andrew's from Barcelona this summer was a backwards step and has criticised the team's long-ball style. Full Story: Daily Star I think he may be looking to move on already. He's only been there 2 minutes.

I stand by what I said having children maybe a biological and natural function, but the NUMBER you have is a lifestyle choice.

If she is here illegally, yes.

Fair enough, I see where you're coming from.

I'm still living in my cottage by the river in Dorest, making my own bread, growing my own vegatables, slaughtering my own animals, which is something 99% of all people haven't got the balls to do.

*Bob* Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > But of course they didn't get around to doing it > before they had children or mortgages either. Nonetheless a sweeping and lazy generalisation, which seems to hold up those that have made the gamble as superior beings worthy of puting up on a pedestal, and something we should all aspire to.

99% of people just haven't got those balls. (What a sweeping generalistion and total horseshit to boot) Or have got children, mortgages, etc etc to support and are therefore in no position to take a gamble.

I know this subject has been done to death, so I'll leave it to professional footballer to sum up the whole aggressive tackling debate. Managers must take responsibility for tackles - Murphy Zamora faces missing much of the season after breaking his leg Danny Murphy has urged managers to take responsibility for their players after what he termed a series of "ridiculous" and "brainless" tackles. "They can say it's effective and they have got to win games," said the 33-year-old Fulham captain. "But the fact is the managers are sending out their players so pumped up there are inevitably going to be problems [in games]. "Your manager dictates what your players do and how you behave." On 11 September, Murphy's Fulham team-mate Bobby Zamora suffered a broken leg in a challenge by Wolves' Karl Henry, who was also fined two weeks' wages by his club following his tackle on Wigan's Jordi Gomez last Saturday. Cottagers boss Mark Hughes criticised Stoke's Andy Wilkinson for a reckless tackle on Moussa Dembele in the Carling Cup. And Newcastle's Hatem Ben Arfa will also miss most of the season after breaking his leg after a strong challenge from Nigel De Jong during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City. "Every ship has a captain and that's the manager who is in charge," added Murphy. "You get managers who are sending their teams out to stop other teams playing, which is happening more and more - the Stokes, Blackburns, Wolves." (Suprise, Surprise) Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has said that reckless tackles are endangering the careers of too many players and Murphy has stressed that there should be tougher sanctions for dangerous tackles - especially for repeat offenders. Murphy continued: "The pace in which some players go into tackles now is ridiculous. There's no brains involved in the players who are doing that. Well said Mr. Murphy, well said.

The number of childeren you have is a lifestyle choice. Why should the tax payer support someone who doesn't know the meaning of contraception and has no way of supporting their offspring.

KIds in parents laps absolutely, mind you in ED most kids travel in the family 4x4 don't they?

Why is it that so called "successful" business men seem to lose grip of their nous when they become involved with football clubs. These guys have riches were are testament to their business acumen, but it seems to desert them when they become involved with sport. Why is that? Newcastle, Liverpool, and Man U proprietors are cases in point.

financiers are paid as a reward for delivering goods or services, invariably that's linked to the effectiveness of their contribution. Are these the self same people that lose millions or billions and are still paid obscene bonuses? Very effective indeed, at achieving a bonus for themselves if nothing else. Are these the same people that you class as "wealth generators"? In my view eveyrbody in paid employment is a "wealth generator", and all bring something to the economic table. The nurse will help to put people back on their feet and back earning a living, a teacher will help produce future "wealth generators", an administrator will help to put together paperwork for a "welath generator" to go out and generate wealth for the company. All of us in our own way put something into the pot. I abhor this idea that people in banking, finance, etc are the only ones that bring something to the table and that the poor dears are being picked on.

But who's to say you look any good in your designer labels, you? Others may detest your look in the same way that you detest the sporty look, consisting of track suits and hoodies, Mr Beckham carries that look off very well. As long as YOU feel comfortable about what YOU wear, why concern yourself with what others wear, after all it's their choice.
