  1. Pleased with Vic. Nobody else. Osman disappeared yet again, leaving a big hole in the middle.
  2. liverpool will overtake us at this rate, and our season will be over. This matched was cursed from the beginning with the stupid poll. Ban zoo.
  3. This has been irritating. It's like being on crack and having no fix. A big fuck off to the team as far as I'm concerned.
  4. Strikers need a rest. We don't have the squad to rotate.
  5. Keep the ball on the ground for fuck sake.
  6. We are poor in the middle. Bring Hitz on.
  7. Pienaar needs to get his old hair back.
  8. Worst I've seen us this season.
  9. You said "You guys". We are not "Them guys". If you want more information on the Scottish, I think David Attenborough once did a seies on them.
  10. They were originally in the Southern league until it's collapse, or similar. You'd really need to Google for a full explanation. As for happenings in Wales, or Scotland etc, I guess tv companies and newspapers cover what is applicable to it's audience. Both Wales and Scotland, and indeed Ireland have stunning scenery should you ever take a visit.
  11. It reminds me too much of an 80's album filler for bands that only had one or two decent songs ha ha. I'm too old for pop.
  12. That reminds me of one I did a few years ago.
  13. Fuck me Pete, that's like nails on a black board ha ha.
  14. That's quite a stunt. If it were a gymnast, it would score straight 10's etc, only it's a little more dangerous than landing on a mat.
  15. I don't think it's any different to , for example, South America. I can only speak for myself, but I would refer to folk who live there as Argentinian, Brazilian, Mexican, and so on. Anybody from the United States I would refer to as American (Ethnicity noted). I would imagine that whilst living in America, you might refer to each other as Texan, or Californian etc, just as we would refer to each other at ground level as Southerners / Northerners, and more specifically as Mancs (Manchester) Cockneys (London) Scousers (Liverpool Brummies (Birmingham) etc etc. The nicknames would be used to discuss with others living here, as they would understand the terms, but in a more none familiar way to folk from other countries, we would use the specific areas. It's all about categories, and the need to identify. If you look at an address, it will start with the smallest factor, such as house number, and expand via street name, town, City, Country, and so on. You, as an American, don't need to know where we live in such detail, so you will blanket any categorization, in inspecific format, such as calling us British, but it has a similar effect of shouting "Hey, You" and getting the reply "Don't say 'hey you', my name is Tom". I would only call somebody European when talking about somebody in a none specific way, as in "They're not African, they're European" but I would respect them enough to be more specific, such as 'Spanish' or 'German' if I were referring to individuals, or nations. If we are called 'Brits' then there is no recognition of our respective countries, and each of our countries have their own deep rooted histories, not to mention some even having their own language, so it is respectful that they should have their own identities acknowledged.

  17. It strikes me that some reporters are deliberately trying to rock our boat. I'm convinced the only way Moyes would be connected with the Chelsea job is if it were to distract him, and our players, as we pose a real threat to their finishing position.
  18. It's just slang. It's not a word I would use in speech really, but more in a poetic attempt to emphasise a one liner as being tongue in cheek. As for the word Brits, I'm not a fan of that at all, and I think many will be the same. We prefer our individual identities, such as English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish etc, and even then the Irish are Northern or Southern. As much as we all tolerate one and other, there is still animosity amongst many, and we'll probably use them as land fill sites if we run out of room.
  19. His name is an anagram of 'He breaks'. Nowt but trouble. Stay clear.
  20. OK, well fuck off again and this time don't come back.
  21. They've won 3 trophies since we last won one. I'd say that was quite an achievement. It is important to realise that those winning promotion were not entirely the same people as those being relegated.
  22. Please don't take the thread off topic.
