  1. they were great live,very odd stage prescence. time to dust off 'gut feeling'----
  2. viewers voted the scene of Del falling through bar-hatch as the funniest in the entire series,but definately made by Trigger's reaction.....
  3. i drooled over her during her hey-day...
  4. one of the greats in his era...... along with Pele he would have been seen as a Messi or Ronaldo of his Day.
  5. not my era,but the brothers were #1 in the UK charts with Cathy's Clown on the day i was born. but i am a lover of their music......
  6. you may have hated the 'ginger prick'.but paddy was talking about his admiration for a fine player.
  7. a bit late,but one for the Brits.........DAVID COLEMAN........
  8. tried and tested by me. i always found any carbonated drink cleared my head and any nausea i had. obviously did'nt do anything for any alcohol still running around the body,but boy did it clear the head....
  9. went to the England Women v Turkey women game tonight,a WC qualifier. played at Fratton Park (ground of the once mighty Portsmouth F.C.) and very entertaining it was. i follow the English Women's football more then the overpaid prima-donnas who masquerade as macho males. the Turks are a lot lower in the rankings then the English and it was evident,but you still have to beat whoever is put in front of you and the game was effectively over as England raced to a 2-0 lead in the first 3 Minutes or so. i really enjoyed the game and a lot of passion and skill shown throughout the match,but also in a very sporting manner. no cynical fouls,no players rolling around in feigned agony and every little foul was followed by an apology and a handshake and best of all no cards shown. i was a regular at the ground in the late 70's/early 80's and much changed. i really missed the moat around the pitch which frequently had players falling into it which always resulted in loud cheers in the old days. the Turks were completely outclassed but did manage to hit the bar with a fantastic strike from distance and their goalie(who was tiny)pulled off a fantastic save towards the end. game finally ended 8-0 to England(it should have been double figures)and their was a nice touch at the end when the England centre-forward consoled the Turkish goalie who was in tears at conceding so many goals. but to be fair most of the goals were too good for her to have any chance with,she was not helped by the awful defending in front of her. a crowd of 6,293 which was very impressive and it was so good to see so many children(mainly girls)at the game making a hell of a noise. in my part of the UK there is a long history of young girls playing the game and such a thrill for them to see their heroines in the flesh. the only bad point were the bloody official English band making such a racket with their trumpets and drums which at times was way over the top. and some of the crowd around me making stupid stereo-typical remarks about the Turks. nothing nasty or offensive,just stupid comments that went on all game and soon became boring. and of course it was the adults who were making the comments and thinking they were being original and funny. but good the game was a 7pm K.O. which allowed the kids to get home early before school in the morning and free entry for under 16's. an enjoyable evening watching the sport being played the way it should be.
  10. well played City,best team in all departments and they should have scored a few more really. the 2nd goal just on H/T was the killer. Utd too pedestrian all game and still lack that cutting edge once they get near the goal. took 66 mins for Joe Hart to make a save...... why oh why was Young on the pitch for so long?,we needed goals and should have had the likes of Hernandez and Kagawa on the pitch. but once again,hats off to City,but as you say,too early to get excited about the League. will be interesting to see how Moyes feels about the game against Liverpool mid-week?. will he play the reserves or will he go for it in a big way?.
  11. i also was glad to see Januzaj get on the pitch. seen a bit of him over the last couple of seasons as he worked his way through the ranks and was one of the better performers on the pre-season tour. loved his attitude and willingness to have a go on his big day. agree that Young and Valencia are not performing at all so far this season,how often are they getting the ball and doing fuck-all with it?. Utd are still looking a bit lacking with ideas upfront at the moment but that will come after they get used to the way Moyes wants them to play,but then again not that much needs tinkering. an interesting week or so coming up with Leverkusan,City and Liverpool in 3 different competitions. but things are not so bad as i've just watched Chelsea lose at Everton.....
  12. Neil Young did write 'a man needs a maid'.....
  13. already Gerrard is saying that Liverpool are at a disadvantage after their exploits in midweek. he is claiming tiredness and players having to play too often already,for fuck's sake Stevie,the Season's only 2 weeks old...
  14. if Utd win they will be above City,Chelsea,Arsenal and liverpool in the table. it maybe only be for a couple of weeks but good to look at everyday...... but knowing my wishful thinking,Utd will get trounced....let's hope not
  15. as you say it's early days but there is strong rumours coming out of Barca that Messi does'nt like/get on with Neymar. seen all their games so far and Neymar not getting much game-time at the moment and when he does seems a little out of his depth,but will take time to integrate in a new country and players as it does many players in his situation. but the pressure on him will be immense because of who he is,how much he cost and the expectations on him. saw Barca the other night and Messi was kicked to fuck and still Neymar was kept on the bench.. but time will tell. Utd should have beaten Chelsea if you just looked at the teams on the night,but both teams were a little lacking upfront and both defences did'nt really have much to contend with,Mourinho will have been happier with a draw. Liverpool tomorrow and hopefully a more entertaining game and a lot more fiesty,don't really know how it will pan out. happy with Utd's draw in the CL. i admit the German and Spanish teams are a little unknown to me but i know they will be tough games. always dread games in Eastern Europe because the weather conditions can really be a factor,but we play in the Ukraine early on so hopefully will be quite good with decent conditions. confident we will progress from the group. but in no way do i believe we will win the CL. The Arse seem to have the hardest group in my eyes and i think their squad could be found out,but who knows?. btw Steve,forget the past and what happened in the past with all the injustices (or the one's you imagine) against your team. it's gone,done and dusted and nothing can be changed. just look to the future and look to how your team are maybe falling a little behind others and how they will deal with it...
