According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "z" is the preferred spelling in all but a few words. It's also a myth that the "z" version is an American variant, it was the original English version which they kept, while we drifted towards the "s" versions. Having said that the OED accepts "s" versions as an alternative and personally I prefer the aesthetics of it. One of the partners in the US used to try and be clever about the "s" vs "z" thing. Wittering on asking me if I pronounced the word with a fast s sound or the slower z sound "Is it criticissse or criticizzze". I pwned him by asking how he spells "rose". What a day in the office that was eh!

I had a dream we won 2-1, and I'm not a miserable bastard, so I'm going for a win for us!

Didn't he say Amady Faye and Boumsong we're proper players?

.... is a canny chap!

UEFA Cup last 16 1st leg tbh. Fair price really.

Off to Manchestoh this evening for a gig, Little Man Tate for the 4th time to be precise, and next week is reading week! (do fuck all week) Shabba!

The Turks 2-0 up away from home, 5-3 on agg. 50 minutes gone.

Can't wait for this weekend tbh. Little Man Tate gig in Manchestoh tomorrow night, should be immense, then relaxing day on Saturday, then off to the match on Sunday.

Seriously, the lad isn't funny anymore and contributes fuck all to the board except to give random bits of abuse... just ban the fucker.

Happy Birthday mate!

Make sure you don't go bare-back mate.... you might catch something...

Thats where we all were before the game in the Carling Cup, was packed full of Geordies that night. Sounds good. Just wanna make sure because the ground is in the middle of no where so if the pub isn't away fan friendly then it's a long way to somewhere else.

I guess there's a reason why they charge a small fortune then! At least if they dye it ginger you can have a go at them and not just sit there feeling like a spaz.... and a ginger spaz at that!

7/12

Is the Red Robin away fans only then? Cheers for the info and pics Nobby!

I'm going to Arctic Monkeys gig at Old Trafford cricket ground in July. They are having 3-4 support bands so it's a bit of a mini festival.

I can't see why Vidic would dive in that situation, knowing that if he doesn't head the ball then it would very likely end up as a goal.

I can't believe so many people don't know the proper rules. Of course that goal was legal. In a situation like that the referee asks the taker if they want the wall walked back 10 yards, and therefore will have to wait for the whistle, or if they want to take the kick straight away and not have to wait for the whistle. It's clear that Giggs said he wanted to take it quickly and so didn't have to wait for the whistle. The Premier league teams have realised this and thats why you see 1 player standing in front of the ball while the keeper sets up the wall in case they try to take it quickly. Lille only have themselves to blame for conceding that goal tbh.

French football showed itself in a very bad way tonight, with poor conduct from Police, fans, players, coaching staff.

What a game that was. Had everything! The match itself wasn't spectactular but evertything else was gripping stuff. Interesting to see what UEFA do to Lille in terms of punishment. Should be thrown out of the competition in my opinion.

What's goin' on here then?

Matty hates it when people do that.

Shhhh! Trust Gemill to notice and make me look like twat flap.

I think his clothes are quite good actually, and I wear the same sort of stuff.... Can't beat Adidas Vintage man!
