Another couple of thrashings and Carver just might get the job

Retarded that really. New Zealand will take some beating. Such a frustrating game for us yesterday. Cant expect to win anything when your fielding is as pathetic as that. A mention for Wahab Riaz though, what an absolutely mental spell of fast bowling, quite possibly would have won the game single handedly if ridiculously easy catches hadnt have been dropped.

Maybe, but I do think the latter teams have better 'technical' players, pass around the ball better etc which makes them a more appealing prospect for me. Does depend on the situation too of course. I'd be watching Villa v West Brom if it was deciding who's going down no matter how crap the football.

Ah, Meenzer's already said something like that.

Aye, but you know these days I prefer watching a game involving lower spanish/german division teams to say something involving the likes of Villa/West Brom or other teams from the premier league. Usually more skill on display even if the atmosphere isnt as good.

Needed to watch that, as an nufc fan. To keep you in love with football. Messi

Hahah this is actually funny. Think I've come to the point now where I can actually laugh at us without feeling sorry for myself or the club. Gouffran losing the ball and giving away the penalty. What a moron. Takes me back to Smith and Bowyer everytime I see him play, except they were way more useful. Then that stupid tackle from Coloccini. What a bunch of morons.

Not looking so good for England at the moment

Well fook me did we just beat South Africa

Not bothered about the spitting or how shit who was again yesterday. The only positive thing about the club in recent years. What a man.

Can only laugh these days :lol:

Chelsea drawing for added incentive

Well that from us was just about as embarrassing as what your lot did Bloody West Indies as well...

I dont think its ultimately ever about wiping out Islam or any religion. The world power of the time needs an enemy, especially one that's as unrivalled militarily right now as the US. One thats got a massive a defence industry as they do. Europe contended itself with colonizing the world, America had the soviets to deal with for a good while. After that, well, there HAS to be something....

Its not that. Well, in some ways yes. The taliban, for instance, have been branded with everything from fundamentalists to islamist extremists to islamic militants since 9/11 whereas they maintain they fight to get the invading forces out from Afghanistan. By the way, after all these years I see that the US is now again making distinction between 'good' and 'bad' Taliban which is utterly ridiculous. Probably because they're looking to set up some factions against the ISIS. The words terrorist or terrorism seem to have been reserved exclusively for muslims. The amount of coverage is also completely disproportionate and this incident has made that clear. Its a farce, as Parky's pointed out above. I'll be convinced its not if some of the things the likes of the US and Israel get up to get labelled terrorism. Or incidents like this one. Agree with Alex that its odd what takes importance these days when incidents like this happen. Well perhaps not odd, in light of the above. Unfortunate.

Aye, but they do have a well rounded team right now. And I think England and the Asian teams are much weaker than last time around.

According to the father of one of the victims it had nothing to do with parking. There had been priors apparently, no one thought it would go this far.

If the identities had been reversed, nobody would have even asked that question. The media anyway that is.

All the bigger teams get to the quarters thanks to the dumb format. After that its a lottery. The warm ups are showing it could go any way really. Australia and South Africa the favourites I think on these pitches, with New Zealand the dark horses.

Exactly! The tour I singled out seemed ideal in that respect, driving you through places in Holland and Belgium with free days in Paris, Rome, Switzerland etc. Think I'd mostly just want to see the major landmarks, typical touristy stuff. Nothing too targeted. It didn't have Spain or Prague though which is a shame, but I suppose its impossible to fit in everything in that time frame. An alternate had Barcelona and Prague but no Rome which is just unacceptable. The itinerary you provided before seems just about perfect. If I decide to do it myself I'll definitely drop by for more advice. Doubt it at this stage though. Was going through the process/requirements for the Shengen visa and its an almighty pain in the arse. Going to have to look at some of the things they want over the next few days. A trip to the far east is suddenly looking quite attractive If only 34, 678,921 people hadnt heard that one before. Churchill's placenta?

Aye, it does sound a bit much for two weeks, but considering how much of a pain it has become to travel to these places because of visa problems etc which is only going to get worse plus I dont know when next I'll be able to plan or afford something like this I'd rather get through some of the major cities than see a couple in detail. Going to look along the lines of what you've suggested as an alternative to taking a guided tour You all watch too much Homeland by the way

It might not be exactly like the Ben Arfa situation now but its very likely to go down that road pretty soon. Difficult to be confident of any other outcome with our recent record of getting the best out of such players. He has improved a lot recently though. Starting to use his pace a little bit and taking on players now, also capable of finding a pass it seems.
