You should be on the tele. Much better than the Octopus or Shearer. However your knowledge of Spain appears to totally ignore the fact that coffee is had with brandy in the morning.

Welcome.......on behalf of numbers, whose thread this is.

Couldn't love you more - John Martyn

Frankly I think this thread should be limited to people who know they talk absolute shite or wish to take it up as a hobby. Talking about other people behind their backs is a cheap shot if you ask me. Like you don't, eh?

How is buying something which increases in value 'unearned' wealth? You took a risk and it could have gone down in value and left you with a loss. Taking a risk and earning a profit is earned in my view.

The spelling teh...........why?

Some bastard ran over my cat is a thread elsewhere. Well, given the nature of cats as explained here surely it's not unexpected they might have an untimely death? Cats don't seem to want to be owned. They do what they like. It amazes me so many people want them as 'pets' when so many get lost or run over in this case. I haven't looked in the 'lost' section but I bet my bottom dollar it's mostly about cats.

I didn't think you meant what it seemed you wrote which is why I simply asked why? I can't understand why anyone would boo their own team however crap they might be. What ratty was referring to is the inability of some England fans to be good losers and turn to violence when their team loses. I remember hearing a story from the Euros in 1988 in West Germany. Ireland beat England 1-0 which was a massive result for us. After the match a group of English 'thugs' went into a large bar which was full of Irish fans. They barged their way to the bar and made it obvious they were up for a fight. Not wanting to get involved in that sort of stuff, the Irish fans took their drinks and went out to the street to finish them. I thought it was the perfect response to the idiots who wanted to cause trouble. Thankfully most England fans are not like that. Ironically our manager was the one and only Jackie Charlton. World Cup winner.

Fer feck sake Otta, I wasn't trying to stir. Read what you wrote. I asked why would you want people to boo England which was before you said if someone did they were a bit of an arse. I thought you were encouraging booing your own team initially.

I asked 'why?' Otta as your post suggests otherwise to your following explanation.

Alan Brazil is an expert at it but Mike Parry is just funny with his unique brand of it.

Please. Why?

It was. England were great in the 1st half but blew a few chances. The AB's dominated the match after that until England had a final flourish.

I do. I see it as an artform. When I first came to this country I soon realised you had to say what you meant to be understood whereas where I was from it was almost the exact opposite.

That's two ruled out.

Why would ianr know more than you? At face value he was trying to help/inform which appears to be his m.o. on the forum. Good for him.

My for's are: Spain Wife's from there, son supports them England I've lived here long enough Uruguay Little country Against Spain Wife's from there and has no interest in football England One good result (if it happens) and they're going to win the WC France Fuck them Switzerland Isn't Sepp Blatter from there?

Wonder why Barca are getting rid of him. Anyone know?

Suppose Rangers are the finest football team in Pagandom.

There's a thread somewhere saying where the 1st test was being shown. It may have been The Rye but nothing on their website about the 2nd.

One player from my son's era made it to the 1st team. Kalvin Morath Gibbs. Played a few seasons and vanished. I don't know why.

My son played with his son Lewis from U10 I think. I have some great memories of matches and wins. Wasn't so keen on all the nights spent taking him to training though. You didn't say when your son started playing as if it was as early as U10's they probably played on the same team. As this is the irrational rage thread I'd like to add the behaviour at matches of the parents of some kids who played football.

When my son played for the under age teams what drove me mad was kids talking about headering the ball. What the hell is headering? Did your son play for DH prior to the youth team PD? Mine one is 23 now. Stopped playing @ U14's

Surely you guys know by now that Rooney needs game time to get up to speed after he has had an injury. When he's at his best he has been playing regularly. At his best he is very good. Certainly good enough for the England team. However, if he is to reach his peak he will be played in the opener and the rest. If England make the last 16 and he has played 3 games, he can have no excuses for not performing thereafter. Hopefully he won't have to be carried until then.
