Hi VV. Sounds like fun, in a weird sort of way :eek:
Using musles you never knew you had is always painful the next day though.
Get some rest and no doubt we'll see you on the board later

‘So living in England, I'll be cheering when England get kicked out, hopefully very soon.’

The thing I realised the other day though is that the world cup would be a bit boring WITHOUT England in it. Since Ireland aren’t there, the whole country is cheering for ‘whoever’s playing England’ and if England’s out of it that means we have to use our imagination :rolleyes: . Anyway after watching over the weekend, I’ve decided nobody’s gonna win it this year – they’re all bloody crap. Although I found it tough to turn over to 24 last night cos Portugal V Angola was a pretty good game and I’d have liked to see Angola come away with something. I love spirited performances like that – Trinidad and Tobago were another good one. I think Holland were much better than our pundits are giving them credit for – Robben had a fantastic game and Van Basten definitely gets the award for ‘best use of white shirt against tan’

‘PS. Helen, bloodwise, taking into account my relatives/ancestors I'm like 5/12 french!!’

Oh Buru, I’m glad your name popped up cos I wanted to ask you. Your national anthem – does it have words???? Cos nobody was singing so I’m a bit confused.

‘If we get knocked out, we'll be moaning for weeks’

So it’s back to normal then stoney

‘Not going out of my way to follow Rugby either, but if the 6 nations or Rugby World Cup is on’

Ah the 6 nations Pegasus . I love it. Life always seems a little bit empty for a week or two when it’s over. Ireland lost to the All Blacks on Saturday :( I felt robbed cos we HAD it until the 70th minute 23-21 to US after being in the lead from about the 10th minute. It was a brilliant game but such a let down. If we were ever gonna beat them, that was it.

‘Saw Velvet Revolver last year too, that was cool’

Yeh me too Dave – they were pretty good.

I reckon Argentina have been the best team on display so far, agree on Holland but they always conspire to self destruct!!

Morning

So have watched every game of the World Cup so far and now someone has decided to put work in the way :rolleyes: and Dave we're not even going to mention the possibilities due to The Who :eek: :eek: that wasn't part of the plan.

I don't think so this time - there seems to be a good team spirit for once. Van Basten seems to have gelled the team which is something they've NEVER had going into a world cup... AND they're not really expected to do well, which is another something they've never had.

Argentina were alright, I think their display was overrated, the way they sat back on their lead was just stupid. Yeh, they were good but we haven't really seen anything great from any of the teams yet.

Yep, I'm gonna miss the first game every day now

And you think that's bad - Oxegen (our festival with the who and the chilis, etc) is on the day of the bloody FINAL!!! Usually for events like that though, there are big screens.

Good morning everyone!

Except for Dave and Stoney having a go last night, it has been very quiet on the board - sun and football, I guess!

Dave - I saw G'n'R during their appetite for destruction tour. Incredible! I still thing they're great in their own way! I like VR too but I am a bit biaised because there's Duff and Slash (my two favs)?

Stoney - I've read somewhere that Duff is definitely touring with AIC. Whether it's for all gigs or just a few here and there, I don't know. Duff... yummy :D Ahhhh... what do you expect - a bass player!!

I wouldn't have thought G'n'R with Axl, Duff and Slash could ever exist anymore. They really hate Axl's guts (so I've heard). And... would it be the same? Wouldn't it be trying to find something that was there years ago and is now gone? Don't know......

VV - sounds like a great and tough week-end you had!!! Soak in a nice bath....

HH and Chime - football fans, are we?

Well, yet again today, I shall try to enjoy my garden a bit and try to ignore the weeds that need pulling out!

I think I may be . I always was but the past couple of years have just got me way more interested in other sports and soccer is a bit inferior to them... but I'm enjoying the world cup so far.

Afternoon all (just to be different)

Well watched all the games also and definitly Holland and Argies were the best. I got Holland at a good price, no-one gave them a chance but I think they might do it.....youthful abandon (but van basten better play Kuyt cause I packed him at 150 - 1 for top scorer :mad: )

Hells, Ireland were very good but just couldn't cope with the power of the all blacks. I think o'gara was found out on saturday. His place kicking was good but everything else.......he was like a little boy playing against men. And as for D'arcy what's happened to him....burst on the scene and done nothing since his injury. O'Driscoll as always was immense...class

I was just saying to the missus that I always miss the world cup final cause something comes up........FUCKING OXEGEN :mad: :mad: :mad:

Just a little bit :rolleyes:

I like most sports but football is my favourite (first love ) Rugby and cricket tend to just follow the national team.

I can even sit through a game of American football ...

That's what winds me up more than anything with Eriksson :mad:

England trying to defend 1-0 leads, we can't do it, it's not in our nature, keep going forward, we're much better at that, it's cost us in so many big games :mad:

Paraguay midfielder was slagging off ericksson today for not using gerard in an advanced position. Said they expected gerard to be a major threat and when he was in a more defesive position...he pushed on himself and they got more of the ball and stronger hold of the game. The reason england won't win the world cup is purely down to the manager and his tactics. They have the players but he is shit. But did anyone else notice that mcclaren seemed to be the one working out all the tactics

He does restrict us without a doubt but even without him I think we are just one of 5 or 6 teams that CAN win it, who does will come down to how things run out... I wanted Martin O'Neill..... :(

Well he brought on Kuyt near the end but we didn't see much of him. I'm really quietly fancying them this year. I back Holland every time (not with money but with my heart - awww, how sweet, lol) but there's always soooo much tension in the camp but not this year. They look so relaxed and like they're really enjoying it and look at that forward line :eek: what's not to say about that?

I'm telling ya Al, we HAD them in the 70 minutes... they were looking pretty scared at times. I still knew we wouldn't do it of course :rolleyes: but for a while it was nice to sit there face in hands looking at the scoreline. I don't think O'Gara's too bad (I much prefer Humphrey's in past years though). D'arcy's gone to hell altogether, Horgan was pretty quiet, O'Connell fucked up a few simple passes that looked like they could lead to tries, Stringer was dodgy too (but had a couple of lovely tackles on Rokocoko. I think maybe the season took it out of some of them. Meself and me brother were talking beforehand about O'Driscoll, I was surprised he wasn't booed to be honest because of last years melodrama (let's face it Umaga would have been booed out of the country here), and how he should just shut them up on the pitch... and I think he did that. He's one player to have proven himself against them. But why is Henry so fucking arrogant when it comes to us sending some of the best players to Argentina... I wanted to see ROG against the beautiful Dan Carter
