He thought Luque was the best signing ever due to his YouTube compilation and said so on his blog....i take it this is the blog he wanted HF and Chez to write stuff for and then claim the credit himself? honestly when I think back that's really funny..the blog came across as if it was written by an 8 year old.

Were they scrapping among themselves or with the Czechs?...or the locals maybe?...or the police?...

Fuckin Umar?.....might have known. He used to post on a few other sites I've perused over the years. He's a self regarding bell end who thought Glen Roeder was some sort of Matt Busby figure. Got the distinct impression he thought it was ok to lecture season ticket holding Mags somtimes twice his age on why their opinons didn't count and how he knew better, despite having never been within 100 miles of SJP. A classic broadband/sky tv fan boy. Sold him a few tickets from time to time after he moved to London for his er "media career" which apparently was/is genuine. He wouldn't come into a pub to collect them at Arsenal once and then quibbled over paying face price iirc. Drummer off one forum for stating with utter conviction that homosexuallity was "unatural" and "wrong" Who is he allegdeing to work for now?.....wonder if they're aware of his enlightened views on such issues?....

Steves..... Clarke to WBA http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18366208 Bruce to Hull City.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18192719

He ticks a lot of boxes...born in Derry as a catholic, his old man was in the RUC and he's an ex chairman of Derry City....fuckin hell, the blokes perfect for that gig...

Thats what "land of my fathers" is about....a love for the soil of home. And its fuckin stunning. You lot could have a nice ditty about the Giant's Causeway and the Mountains of Mourne, Lough Neagh, etc etc....its probabaly do-able....who's the best living songwriter born in the Province?....Van Morrison?...

Cant see what you posted...no youtube access at work Point is, the rugby side represents all Ireland, and they play some tune before the games start...Ant or Ewerk will know if its likely to be accepted by both err "camps" if it was suggested they could use it before games at Windsor Park. Rightly or wrongly, the offfical national anthemn of N.I. is GSTQ and the majority won't want a change from that. And as Ewerk says, its poor that lads brought up in N.I. plump for the Republic, pleased to see our own Fergie stuck with N.I.

What do they play at the rugby?

No Battersea move for the European Champions..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-18352786

Sounds like someone may have tried to poach him...not surprised, and he deserves a ma-hoosive pay rise for his work here in the last couple of years. The most important person at the club outside of the players, and possibly including some of them too.

Try looking here: http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2012/05/and_the_nominees_are_2.html good luck...the only band I recognised is Iron Maiden

class as you say...the Euros always seem to have better games than the WC....the Portugal v France semi in 2000 is one of the greatest games I've ever seen in my life...in fact thats the best tournament I've seen full stop.

The Sweden game is key for England iyam....playing the hosts in the last group game in front of 80k screaming locals will be a lot easier with 4 points in the bag...if its 2 or less and Ukraine have beaten Sweden then I think it will be very difficult to get out the group.

Is it any good for folks who want to get something half decent as opposed to your bog standard "point and push" effort or is it mainly for professionals?....want to upgrade but frankly not sure what to go for...

<applause> I think most of those involved probably had some sense of "King AND country" though....different times I suppose. Their sacrifice was and remains to this day incalcuable. If it had all gone tits up we would be living in a very different world now.

Try and be a bit more melodramatic Luke, your posts lack something without it. Balarny Stone, fuck off you ridiculous cunt.

What would happen at your work if that happened?....

We'll see which players shine and which players do fuck all in the next month......I do think its a general rule of thumb that premier league based players have, in the last 8 major tournaments or so, done next to fuck all. France in 2002 spring to mind.....they won the previous 2 tournaments but with Zidane only playing on one leg Viera & Henry were too knackered to carry the rest of them, Pires had been clogged already by Dabizas.....in saying that, Barca havent been at their best either and some of their lads have looked a bit jaded too..they reckon age is finally catching up with Xavi. So we'll see. Portugal are dark horses, good enough side to win it if Spain are below par.....hopefully they will be and we'll get good ties in the knockout stages where all the half decent sides sense they could win it.

I dont really mind the queen or any of her family (the alternative of having a politician as a head of state makes me nauseous) but am fucked if id as much as open the curtains if somone told me she was passing by....all this jubilee shit is fuckin irritating now. Is the concert the same line up as her 50th?...have they released Bassey and Jones from the South Wales Cryogenic Center again?....

Good to see Hodgson being his own man iyam. He's an experianced manager, and while this obviously no guarantee of even modest success in the next month, he'll have his justifiable reasons for his selections. The "old guard" are almost all gone now,either by injury or by just having the wrong brother like Rio, but theyve been slaughtered on here for fuckin years so anyone bemoaning the fact Rio isnt in is crying crocodile tears tbh.Terry is abhorrent as a human being, but with the unfortunate Cahill wouldve been a very handy pairing indeed going on what they played like towards the end of the season. Only 4 players in the 23 have played at a Euro's before (Rooney,Cole,Gerrard and Terry) and while anyone is free to criticise who has been brought in theres not exactly an abundance of choice is there?....Wilshire is the only name that springs to mind and he is injured, as usual it would seem. This is very much the next generation of footballers who are going to be representling the country for the next 3 tournaments or so, so we may as well get behind them.

Why not spend less on the olympics and more on tax breaks for companies to set up in the north east a la Nissan?....id have rather seen the olympics go to fuckin Ulaan Bator and see the governments share properly invested. Its a corporate wankfest at the end of the day and in truth the vast majority of people in the UK won't see any benefit from it.

Am I right in saying the previously very pro-UK-austerity IMF have started to express a few doubts as well?... No one's spending anything to speak of, banks are sitting on billions that the BoE has printed with no intention of lending it to the few who want it, and the rest are too scared to spend anything at all. All because of the dogs breakfast that is Euroland. Germany will take responsiblity and bail everyone out, because in the long term its the cheapest option by far. Its just a matter of waiting till they give in. Until then we're all fucked, I fail to see what Cameron or any other fucker could do about the situation in this country in isolation other than token gestures. He knows this and probably thinks "well whats the point in losing face now?" Anything he does will be an irrelevence anyway when faced with the big picture. So dont count on petrol duty going anytime soon folks

Had to google what a baker boy hat was, and agree, a sharp jab to any part of the face was in order. Think I'd prefer a welder's cap, would look less of a cunt I reckon....

Fuck me he's pleased with himself isn't he?
