He's a totally different player to Beckham. Beckham was never as technically gifted as Totti. Yet Totti would never work as hard as Beckham did. The formation Roma peaked with a few years ago with Totti as the main striker was a work of genius. Every time I've ever saw him for either Roma or Italy he's looked pretty average to put it mildly, then again, I don't get to see Roma that much. I compared him to Beckham as they were both the 'Goldenball's' of their countries.

On a similar note to Del Piero, the most overated player I've seen and heard good things about must surely be Totti of Roma and Italy. I think he's their Beckham but not quite as good as the half decent Beckham once was.

I've had a bad run up to Christmas through laziness and other 'problems'. A bit of a washout is expected, just hope my girls are ok with their stuff.

Hmmm. Bit un-ladylike tbh. Vodka & diet coke? Wine? I've just scoffed a load of chocolates if that helps. .....Whilst watching Victoria Wood?

I don't want to cause offence to anyone, but I really can't stand the bongy-eyed little cockney cunt. I don't and can't believe a word this self promoting goon comes out with. Also, love how he gets his name mentioned and gets interviewed about his time with us, it was a couple of years ago and he's disappeared off the radar ever since. Why doesn't he talk about little Wimbledon or the fucking Bridge? Just like big Sham and that arch cretin, Souness, they just can't let it go, can they?

There's been some good posters mentioned, but Stevie mentioned something about noticing when people aren't on, well, on the other side of the coin you can tell what a difference it makes when you get Toonraider and the other female posters on, definitely livens the place up and usually for the better.

I read it sometimes, people will say I'm obsessed mentioning it, I'm not. It just seems to me that on the football board there's one or two knowledgable people, and absolutely scores trying to out do each other with a piece of knowledge or angle on present things in football. Whereas on here especially talking about old times people bounce of each other more, more like a shared knowledge in each thread, like "ah aye i mind that now". With that in mind I give you a post from infrequent, (but excellent), poster Percy Street on another MB talking about 'cracking games'. That's the type of patter I like. Says more and makes you smile more in one paragraph than certain posters could do in a years worth of posts.

Current = erm, err........fuck knows, Iniesta or Messi. Retired = Michael Laudrup or Zidane, probably the latter.

Tinofbeans sounds more Geordie, that might help.

Damned by faint praise, there, Fish! I don't post that much and it's usually nostalgia when I do so think I'm getting a sympathy vote by Stevie. Some of the older posters (30+) would get my own vote, Fist, Stevie for the generalising of other fans is superb, NJS and others I can't think of off the top of my head.

LM = Claudio Shepha

I posted my real name earlier...Patersaldo... but my TT name is err....Paddildo A pedalo with 'special' seats for the ladies?

Sounds like a Geordie Boxer Whereas the first one sounds like an Brummie sex aid!

Good thread Real name = Daldo! Toontastic name = Heymeca

I've got so many memories of Sunderland from working there. Everyone to a man smokes, the women are generally vile, and the blokes common as fuck. I don't like to generalise but it's such a noticable difference from our great toon on the banks of the Tyne. Some people are suited by going there, If I was to die today, and my life flashed before me, my abiding memory of Sunderland (apart from shaggin a mackem for a while), was being in the bookies beside Sunderland train station about 2001, and this woman probably about 32 (she looked 40) but that's the standard crack in Sunderland they all look old, she had her bare arms exposed, arms which were thicker than my considerable thighs, with a huge 1990's Sunderland badge where your BCG should be shouting "WHERES MEA FOOOKKIN TABS SOME CUNTS TAKEN A ROIT LIBER-TEA EAR LOIK", and this bloke came in looking as rough as her "LEA-SA A COULD EAR NEE-ULLY ON FAWASUTT STR-EA-T AV GOT YA FOOKIN TABS EAR TAYUK A CHEEL PEEL", fuckin what a bunch of bamps. Fuck that, you just keep on generalising, Stevie! (Even though you don't like doing it)

Eh? So what's she cooking and where's the fucking recipe, then?

Did you manage 15 wanks in a day? No, mate, just the ramblings of a pissed twat!

Where are you from ASM? Had always assumed you were lurcal...? There's going to be hell on now it's known that you're OOT. Sounds as though he's got the chance of a leg ower with a boiler.

Strange mood. Toss up between slightly smug and slightly depressing.

Meenzer posting that singing Russian had me in tears of laughter especially as the thread it was in was pretty dire.

Even Bob Wilson doesn't fancy us any more despite our 'famous cup tradition'.

I'm really glad you had snow for your birthday but I also really hope it stays away from Newcastle for just a little bit longer. It's our works Christmas do in the middle of town tomorrow night and if it snows it'll be absolute carnage! Well I hope it stays ok for your 'doo' Cath. We had more snow overnight here!! I know its nothing like you guys get but its still lovely, I took these pics outside and up the road this morning as I went for a stroll, it had started to melt by then alittle but it was so lovely to walk on. I know I'm a big kid Hubbys Jag! I took this for our son....hes a postie Top of our road Looks lovely down there, smashing house too.

I think it stems from ages ago when someone put a thread up about someone and Gem thought for a minute it meant that person had pegged it! So now if a thread title is a persons name, we put Yes or No to let him know whether they are dead or alive! So yes means they've croaked it and no means rumours of death are greatly exaggerated? Yes means YES theyve croaked and NO means that the thread is not about thats persons death at all I see, said the blind man. I'm a bit hungover to be fair.
