I am willing to bet that he is still on the books in some capacity.

I'll settle for a 70's motown classic.

I expect to seem him as the main event in Las Vegas shortly after his release from prison!

Thought I would bump this since it turned out to be the thread for all new strips for the coming season. Citeh have been released:

I wonder if Allardyce sees the fall that Souness is going through and wondering if he is going to suffer the same fate. I hope it happens personally...

Technically, that wasn't a war. That was a "conflict". One of the main reasons why the US was unsuccessful in Vietnam (and we weren't the only country that was unsuccessful in the area) was the same reason the English were unsuccessful in Colonial America... we weren't prepared for the type of combat the VC used. Now I really do wish that American Military History could be all nice and polite like the English.

The thing is though from my point of view, I've got nothing against you as a person, but if America didn't exist I'd barely notice or care, so whatever names foreigners have for us however derogatory they are, I simply don't care because to me you as a country don't care, and I have no interest in how you think or how your peoples perceptions of things are. Insignificant to me, that's what I mean so I could never take offence as a Geordie and an Englishman. It was meant as a joke. My fiancee (who is English) finds the concept of the term "Limey" as being derogatory funny considering it is a term used when the English figured out how to fight scurvy. As for your views on the US: to clarify, are you saying that since the US doesn't care (as a nation) than you don't care about us? If that is the case that is perfectly acceptable. The reasons that I stand up (when it comes to the American/Yank thing) is the stereotyping that usually comes along with it. Well I know you're not all fat cunts who will die of heart disease at 40, and who think the Superbowl is the most watched event on earth (The Carling Cup was more watched world wide which sums it up), just most of you. To clarify what you asked me about, whether USA people care as a nation is inconsequential to me, that's what I meant, I simply don't care. I don't know anything about your country, we don't even get taught about your history in our schools, partly because you don't have much history, and secondly because no one cares. Interesting about the Superbowl. I wasn't able to find the TV Ratings for the Carling Cup but the last Superbowl was close to 100 mil. Superbowl Ratings Out of interest, what history classes are taught in UK schools regarding countries other than your own. Please keep in mind that I am a teacher and this actually does interest me and I am not trying to be condescending in any way. As for the lack of history in the US.. Let me once again apologize for that. The English should have colonized us a lot earlier. With the last 10ish years edumication policy? Probably be lucky to get across the channel. But more historically every thing from ancient Greece to Roman Britain (which intrinsically roped in much of the ancient world) feudal wars, crusades, protestant/catholic wars, right though to colonisation/Empire, which combined with causes and aftermaths of WW1 and WW2 and the cold war and you've not only covered most of the world, but also most of the roots of most 20th and 21st centuries problems. In fact I struggle to think of many things I wasn't taught about, but then my history teacher was pretty first class and I suspect much of that may well be a bit unfashionable these days. Or more succinctly: Which is pretty true (or been battered by). American high school students (the 9th - 12th years) have to take a year of World History and if they choose they can later on take a course specifically to European History. As for the Star Wars reference... maybe that is Empire Envy But that happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away so I don't know if us Yanks can handle that. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=s...G=Google+Search I see... Some universities will have a pop culture department (a recent history type of subject) which would include Lucas' Star Wars. OR it could be a history/government course including the Star Wars project which was something that was being funded for research during the Reagan presidency.

Arrogant?? Compared to some??? For arrogance see those bastards on the telly last night. Also my example of the yank, I wouldn't expect a foreigner to know what fucking county Stoke is in! I've met Americans who think Paris is in London. I met one who told me he'd been up to Scandinavia. It turned out to be Edinburgh. Fuckin hell!! That is bad...

Is it alright if I refer to the English on the board as Limeys?

And Ollie Bernard to privide competition for Left Back

I like the keepers kit. I wonder if there is going to be a second? I would be curious to know what Harper thinks about Given doing the modelling. Still undecided on the away kit. (And notice that there was no use of the American term Jersey in this post )

Interesting. The reference to "Rolls Royce wages" gave me a FFS flashback though.

Is that minimum wage??? What does he do for the Galaxy?

Why interesting? All part of the same group these days aren't they? Shirts were made by Umbro last season and JJB the year before. Aren't all these companies under Mike Ashley's umbrella? It might be a "US Thing" but Champion is seen as a product that isn't as quality as others for example Adidas or Nike and I have never seen it associated with the sport of football/soccer (the coffee is kicking in ). As a matter of fact, I went to the Champion website and did a key word search for soccer and all that came up was a pair of women's shorts and women's tank tops. I can't think of a team in any professional sports league in the US having their uniforms made by Champion and the only affiliation that they have with sports in the US is on the collegiate level. Some interesting facts: Champion invented the hoodie and the sports bra. I tried to find corporate information regarding Champion and only saw that it is a company under Hanes.

No. They are making the Wigan strip. My apologies! I am usually careful about that sort of thing. Please keep in mind that it is a bit early over here and the coffee hasn't kicked in as of yet. For the record, should I use "kit" or "strip"? And thanks for the defence T-Keith.

LA Galaxy wouldn't be able to sign Ronaldinho while they have Beckham on the books.

The Wigan jersey is made by Champion??? Interesting.

You cannot choose to be anything from birth, it is chosen for you............like religion! .............and we all know whata pile of cock that is! Me, I`d rather choose. you really are a tit Perhaps, but I can punctuate my sentences. That makes you a stupid tit. And people change/choose religions all the time.

I can't believe that I am actually cheering on Portugal now...

+1 And the big Defender in the middle for the Netherlands as well. I wouldn't want to guess at his name as I got home after the game started and didn't see the lineups...
