Given the stuff around this embedded video, it coudl sure use a NSFW tag.

Duffman in a Newcastle kit? Awesome.

I fuckin' love that smiley, btw.

I like the other one better tbh

I wouldn't want you misquoting that kind of wisdom tbh. 161732[/snapback] To be fair, I heard it second hand. Thanks for the correction, though.

Brian McBride is pound for pound the best stiker in the premiership.

Current(ish) research that I read about said that migraines are caused by swelling of the arteries in the skull. Heat and/or other blood-flow related issues will exacerbate them. The future Mrs. suffers from them as well. Buggered up many a day's plans.

I've seen that particular show--it's ridiculous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocigWUL4LIM

To make it clearer what I'm saying Current Cup: 2010:

It's worth noting that European teams always do much better in cups held in Europe than outside it. Partly due to climate, partly due to 'home field' advantage, who knows? But no European team has won the cup outside of Europe whereas Brazil has won in Europe, North America and Asia. Leaving out Brazil of course..... I don't think we can realistically cut anything from Europe's allocation; there are undeniably quality sides there that will not make it due to the competative nature of the region. However, the difficulty in finding spots to give to 'worthy' nations and yet keep world-wide representation is difficult. Asian teams, apart from the hosts in 2002 rarely make any impact, so 4.5 spots is simply put, ridiculous. The addition of Australia certainly adds strength to the region, but when Saudi Arabia are regular qualifiers that 4.5 needs some addressing. 3.5 for CONCACAF surprised a lot of people, even us over here in the region. in 2002, we had two sides in the round of 16 but they faced each other that did two things: 1 - reduced the POSSIBLE number of teams in the quarters to one 2 - GUARANTEED one side in the final 8. Also in 2002, Costa Rica played quite well and narrowly lost out on advancing from a group including the winners (Brazil) and the 3rd place team (Turkey.) However, going back to 1986, the region has had at least one side get to the knockout stages in every cup. (back when we were allotted two spots.) Realistically, the 4th place team in CONCACAF is a minnow. It's a TnT or an El Salvador. If there is going to be a playoff with that spot, it needs to be against a region much more difficult than the 5th place team from Asia. 3 isn't entirely out of line, 3.5 could be depending on the selected region for the opponent for that .5 spot. Africa was hard done-by in this cup. The Ivory Coast and Ghana were placed in incredibly difficult groups. Tunisia was the only re-qualifier and did quite poorly. Angola made a run of it but came up short against Iran and Togo were something of a joke.... though not for footballing reasons. The main problem with Africa this cup wasn't the number of spots, it was the way qualification was run. It needs to be revamped. So that leaves us where we started, really. The spots that need to be reevaluated are: 1/2 to 1 spot from Asia 1/2 spot from CONCACAF 1/2 spot from OFC 1/2 spot from S. America I think w/o Australia, the OFC needs to play a playoff for the playoff spot. The 1/2 from South American can still play off with Asi The 1/2 from CONCACAF and remaining 1/2 from Asia/OFC can be put to Europe or S. Africa depending on how you look at it. Fair?

All? All who? 154437[/snapback] All of your many personalities

Got it Thanks to all

That's the one! Thank you sir!! Now to try to find a free version Or to get approval from the budgetting committee to purchase it. (unlikely)

Cheers, Wacky. I appreciate it.

How can you justify 4.5 places to Asia with 2.5 to CONCACAF even with Australia in the AFC? Asia and CONCACAF both all inflated in this cup. Take away the .5 from CONCACAF for certain, but it won't go below 3. Africa should have at least 5, six might be a stretch. Oceania w/o Australia doesn't deserve a .5 slot. They should play off with an Asian country for the chance at a playoff against S. America.

Yoooooo ESS AY! Yoooooo ESS AY! 153999[/snapback] He said without reason.

Look at all those cheating continentals! 'fit wuz us we'd begeddin nowt. Rinse. Repeat. 153915[/snapback] You've got a cheek after all the whining you've done of late. 153920[/snapback] qualifying in '94 (Koeman and the ref fucked us out of the tourney, never mind we didn't perform vs. San Marino) France '98 (Beckham shouldn't've been sent off! The Argentinian embellished; Shearer always uses an elbow. The Ref cheated us) World Cup '02 (Ronaldinho never meant that. Pure luck) Euro 2004 (That was never a foul. We should have beaten Portugal the ref cheated us!) 153924[/snapback] Congratulations, you've read The Sun! I personally haven't wittered on about any of that. You on the other hand have been crying your eyes out on here. 153928[/snapback] re-writing history tbh.

Do better every night tbh. I've got me a little German girl...

Beats me, but in this particular case, we were stuck with the one above and need to continue with it.

All of them are bug-ugly.

Similar but not quite.... the B is the give away. Thanks though; I'm still looking.
