Tattoo's dont hurt real men. (P.S. I cried like a baby when I got mine)

I was just thinking the same myself today. Different breed these days. We have a girl that walks to work in about 15 minutes and as soon as there is any sign of snow she cant make it in "as its too dangerous". Nothing you can do these days though. As a generation we are generally all soft as shite. God help world when the next lot are ruling. Edit: I've gone all Leazes in the above.

I suspect he needed a stott on when getting that done which must of have been hard. (pun intended)

Puyol and Valdes (amongst others) were desperately trying to get Madrids players sent off all game. Pathetic. Barca as a team are better than that.

Well, he supported us as a boy. Born in Easington.

I fucking hate Carlos Puyol. What a dong!

While Barca have been absolutely superb Jose has totally fucked up here. The pushing up/high line and compressing the midfield has totally backfired.

Next goal in Barca/Madrid game is going to be a big one.

Great game so far. Full of incident. You can clearly see both teams hate each other. A bit like Man U v Arsenal in the Vieria/Keown/Keane/Neville days.

I would take Robbie Keane on loan in Jan.

Guthrie looks overweight and unfit to me. We had a lot of players lacking match fitness and I think that showed in the 2nd half. We desperately need someone with pace to play off Big AC.

i had Fulham Man City and Wolves down for draws in my acca. 34/1 ish. I also needed ONLY Scunthorpe to score for my goals galore coupon. So close to a £120 win from £2.

Grey Street, Newcastle This should go in the Iconic pictures thread

The Boro game is on today. Edit: And no Scottish games have been called off as far as I can see.

Shirley that was a nightmare!!

This is our best chance to beat Chelski due to their influential players missing.

Is the match going to be on tomorrow?

Spot on, particularly the last part. There's something fundamentally wrong with a country that encourages as many kids as possible to go to university then has to import Eastern European people to earn higher wages than most graduates just because they know how to fix a boiler. I think the Eastern European's were actually doing every job dirt cheap compared to our tradesman.

Spot on. Only the elitist will get the chance to go to University whereas the equally (if not more) intelligent poorer people wont. I do agree that more apprenticeships should made available as another another avenue into a vocation though.

Yep. Me http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=28813

And every player has bad games including Englands John Terry & Vidic etc.

I think Pulis has said that, but in reality actually hasn't changed much at all. Gudjohnsen never plays & looks a fish out of water in their current tactics. Tuncay is rarely used from the start either.

I think most series are like that though. When you have 10-12 hours of screen time per season they have go into character development a bit more. I dont see your comparison with Transformers though.

Granted. I can see both sides of the coin. However, if I am paying £40-50 for a ticket and watching my team not trying to win a game then it wouldnt be long before I stopped going. If they knocked it down to £20 a game and just had a bunch of cloggers in the team then you could (sort of) understand it.

What hotel is that KD? We were in Mandalay Bay. Vegas is class like. Its only a 3-4 day thing though.
