Class. I love seeing what dodgy team names you can get away with in pub quizzes. Must check that out some time though, I mean if you can have a 100% record...

I shouldn't worry. The credit crunch will send a fuckload of people straight down to the lowest strata of society. Put the right statistical spin on it, and it becomes an unprecedented degree of social mobility!

This thread is gayer than me having my cock sucked by Smooth Operator wearing a tutu.

Scandinavian food is surprisingly canny, if we're talking about the kind of thing you'd never normally think of eating. You have to like fish and seafood though, obviously.

Schweinsteiger's lass Jeeezus. He's barely hit puberty yet!

Aye, this is why my mam said she was Belgian when she first came over.

Some fucking lamps they must have! Aye. This was in Mainz, mind. Life works differently in Rheinhessen.

When I was living in Germany I saw an advert for a tanning salon using Naomi Campbell as its model.

This ^^

"FC Twente (also incorrectly referred to as Twente Enschede)..." Pwnd by Wikipedia.

Hey baby. Welcome to where all the cool kids hang.

I know it's been said by many already, but watching (and thoroughly enjoying) last night's game really brought it home for me. Isn't it great not having England at this competition? No half-time interviews with McClaren and "tactical discussions" by the MOTD couch during entirely unrelated matches, no reports from the training pitch or the team hotel, no tedious over-analysis of the last game or the next game, no constant injury updates, no forced references to England by commentators and their sidekicks (though they tried their best last night for some reason), no tabloid hissy fits, no WAGs... every international tournament should be like this! EDIT: Oh aye, and good football.

At least one Frenchman managed to score this summer, etc. etc.

I keep my tupperware in a tupperware container. And I keep my tupperware containers in a tupperware container container. And...

Only joking big fella. See, Bob, it's not hard really. Thats what Mrs Berb said last night

Only joking big fella. See, Bob, it's not hard really.

Even if we don't manage a proper summer get-together as such, I'm sure that, once the Sky/Setanta dates for the first part of the season are out, we could pick a weekend for a pre-home-match kickabout (particularly if we're on later in the day due to the telly) with drinks/a bite to eat after the game. OK, it's not quite the same thing, but it'd be better than nowt...

(And that Berwick run is lovely, too.)

Nice try, but we're playing Burlington Original Rules so all WC postcodes count double and crescents are wild.

I had that mail last week, aye.

In English pls.

Thought train drivers were on good money. Aye, but they're actual jobs.

Had my first Zonzo's/"Caffè Z" (cough) experience the other night, after years of having the place recommended to me. It's worth a trip back from Lahndan for (well, almost). Excellent stuff, and buried away in the only-loosely-fashionable side streets of Sandyford, no less...

By the way I thought you'd be more inclined to support the Greeks Traditionally "warm brothers" they may be, but they never score. What's the point in that? Sometimes the lead up play is better than actually putting it in the net don't you know man? Feck off and support Arsenal then.
