Why couldn't there be a GB team in the olympics.

That's what this discussion is always drawn into (much like many other tricky subjects), it becomes an emotional one of A student. But it's absolutely not about whether a student works hard or not, it's about the system. The fact is many schools are starting to offer things like the International Baccalaureate as they are a more attractive option due to UK grade inflation. Like I said GCSE is pretty much at the stage where an A** is now needed, which eventually leads to madness (or a sweeping re-fudge of the system). No one benefits from grade inflation, whether students realise it or not, students are working just as hard for the same end results, but negatives for employers and further education are getting worse and worse. You don't waltz into a job or University course despite getting better grades than someone might have 10 or 20 years ago, because the grades needed for that job or course have also crept up. It's just a pointless race against quicksand, that gets everyone no where. It's a bit like the mindless drive toward 100% University education, yes University education has a lot of significant secondary benefits, but ironically the more people you force into it, the less benefits there are across the board (and you start to get the grading for funding issues that have been so rampantly reported this year appearing), so there is no overall gain to society. Like I said the secret to better education is better education, not fudging figures. 29.3% in the South achieved an A grade in their A-levels whilst only 19 or 20 % received one in the North. Whether that's down to Liverpool alone, I do not know.

What channel is it on? It was on BBC 1, interactive.

FT- 3-0.

Showboating going on, now. Nigeria look the part earlier on, aswell.

Down to 9 men Brazil. Thiago Neves and Lucas sent off.

3-0 to Argentina. Messi, Riquelme, Aguero, Machearano and Gago all look the part. We should try and get Di Maria aswell. Where as, Anderson, Lucas, Ronaldhinho, Diego and Pato haven't done much.

Tbf Arshavin works his socks off in games, his attitude of the pitch is a different matter. Regards, Attain

:scratchchin:

His kicking is shite though. Yes but its very minor. He can easily adapt it.

Aye and I still think we are trying to get another striker in if Shola and/or Smith goes... KK said if Shola and Faye went we'd be looking to replace them this window. Lets hope that Everton's revived interest in Smith makes him go aswell.

I just want Zog, Ameobi and Smith to fck off and get in 3 good replacements and a quality LB.

Shows the fickleness of most of us (not me), I always had Given as my first choice but some on here after one game are now saying he's the Given of old, after slating him for the whole summer. Next week, the inanes will be saying his kicking is shiet and the rest of it, mark my words. Regards, Attain

Beye was RB mate.

If we'd have got these signings done in pre-season we may well have beaten ManU. We did.

We need a cm of class, similarly with LB. Enrique isn't up to it YET but for feck sake, N'zogbia made Bramble look class. The rest of the team played well, apart from Duff's marking. Half the time he was pointing at others to do the same.

Not so good now like... He got an assist. Then he got injured. Apparently its minor and he isn't injured, badly.

Not so good now like... He got an assist.

I got Ballack in my fantasy team, all good.

CM, CF and LB. I just don't think Enrique is good enough for some reason. He still hasn't impressed me. Moutinho Saviola Taiwo Any 2 of those and we would be in business this season. "Cheers", nah scrap that. Regards, Attain

I get my first result next week in GCSE I.T. I am so scared i mucked it up and end up getting an A. Anyone else feeling scared at the moment?

Nasri and Gallas both in my team, get in. Regards, Attain

To whom it may concern, I found their opinions about as valuable as yours. Yours in hope (that you'll fuck off), Steve Your inane comments are quite funny. Your naivity always seems to amaze me.
