Also those coffee rings under his eyes do my head in. I wish people would stick a coaster down before they sit their mugs of tea on his face. He needs a vitamin c shot and fast.

To be fair Taylor's gonna get sent off a lot during his career. Can't really hack it against the better forwards. 35199[/snapback] Or Bellamy, it would seem 35201[/snapback] Despite being a poisoned dwarf of the worst kind, I would actually class Bellamy as one of the better strikers in the league. Not for goal ratio (which will probably always be gash) but certainly for influence on a game. His running (pace and persistence) lets any team he's on determine the tempo of a game unless he's up against a top quality defender.

A smear on the otherwise distinguished birthday month of September tbh. Happy Birthday!

Rooney will only be 31!

Explain??????????????????????????????????? 35133[/snapback] Wrong thread???

Fucking awful! 475 folds an all!

'effect' ..and less of the 'fat' business, Watson!

Viana is not a defensive midfielder, tbh.

Bizarre this-well I say bizarre, it seems unprecedented, but I dare say there are numerous mass participant distance road races where people do die after the event, it's just very odd that there have been so many die during this one. Speaking without having heard any reports about the people involved in the tragedies, am I right in thinking that they involved participants who really had no business trying to run a half marathon in the first place? I mean from the point of view of physical health/lifestyle etc. Clearly in hindsight they shouldnt have yeah yeah yeah etc etc..... but you know what I mean-people who just didnt have the necessary level of fitness due to factors that should probably have been more obvious to them? Anyway a sobering thought. Wonder if it will affect the numbers for next years event?

He's still in shock, mate.

Luke's eyes nearly fell out of his heed when he clocked one particular one yesterday! Having said that I would have like, tbh.

Yeah, all that woosh bollocks is annoying anarl. btw 34311[/snapback] Don't get Gemmill started on that!

I think thats why some of us have picked up on it tbh. It was being used in a way that was devoid of any meaning and I think we were just highlighting that wltm gsoh.

I 97.9% agree with that statement, you complete jizz-bolt! 34292[/snapback] I agree with Alex. Strangely, I miss Ross Gurko. Aaprilla's foreskin is nowhere near as entertaining..... BTW, who was dot.bom in a previous life? Or 80-2 for that matter? 34299[/snapback] Blaydon tbh 34302[/snapback] Viana is not a defensive midfielder tbh. 34303[/snapback] Those were the days! Proper argument polarity shit. None of this agreeing in substance but nit-picking about the minutiae bollocks! Old skool! Bring back Li3nZ tbh.

More meritocratic. Because it has less class hang-ups! In a nutshell. Jesus wept tbh. 34289[/snapback] Yeah I got that, I totally disagree though. I don't buy the 'American Dream', born poor always scum, there and in any other country I've ever lived in. 34291[/snapback] "Agree to disagree!" Nice avatar by the way!

I'm really not mate. I just don't think we should expect more money to mean more sensitivity, plus you've taken up a point I was argiung with NJS. And my problem there is I feel he's having a go, with vitriol, at the upper classes in general. Which I find offensive and ironic. misconstruist! 34263[/snapback] You've said that a second time now so you must be deliberately misconstruing me. When have I ever mentioned money=same thing as class? I actually take 80-2's point that many of today's upper class are on the bones of their arses and have nothing like the wealth of many of the middle class. I don't see it as a money thing at all. I see it as a privilige thing-and understanding why you are in that priviliged position in the first place.

Its around, but half of it is bankrupt and they don't hold anything like the sway they once did/would've. By death knell, I meant in the longer term. A revolution took place and ambitious sorts from the lower classes seized power, imposing what they saw as logic and rationale upon their surroundings. The thing about the landed-gentry is that the vast majority of their land remained in our scepted isle, whether it was in Northumberland, Perthshire or Shropshire. The only upper classes that remained, prospered and expanded were the ones who started playing the middle classes' game. Also, I don't really like this term being bandied about in quite the way it is being. Its as though its a Hindu-based cast system, as opposed to the reletively fluid entity it actually is. Is anyone here (or anywhere else) going to dare say that the USA doesn't have a class system, including a fully-fledged upper class? 34258[/snapback] Your point isnt entirely lost on me, but if you're suggesting that Britain is as meritocratic as the States then I'll laugh in your face. That's the basic difference.

You really think the state of one's bank balance should affect one's sensitivity? 34240[/snapback] No...to explain, these people are the descendants of the founding fathers of empire. And empire was bad...mkay. For the spearchuckers etc etc that they were portraying. Thats where a heightened sensitivity to such things might be desirable. 34247[/snapback] We live in a democracy, most or all of us on this board in the 'Occident', we run this world, and how we do it sickens me. I don't tend to blame the great grand children of imperialists. I tend to look a little closer to home. 34255[/snapback] You won't find me disagreeing with the first bit. However I wasn't blaming the great grand children of imperialsts for that. I was saying that it would be marginally more crass that they should have a spearchucking party than say for a group of working class kids. Which, just to clarify, wouldn't be acceptable either. I think you're deliberately misconstruing me here tbh.

The landed gentry of the 19th and 20th century were the slave owners of the 17th and 18th century. 34248[/snapback] We are agreeing here, right?
