P.S. I didn't men anything derogatory about the Hitzfeld campaign with the SS reference - honest

Is there any chance my ban can be modified?? Quite happy to not go back myself, but my laddo is giving me SUCH grief for limiting his Toon-based surfing opportunities. Current situation is a bit like wiping out a village because someone threw a bottle at the SS man. (overly dramatic I know) After all if you don't help him broaden his horizons and be exposed to wider views, he'll just be stuck in the redneck environment he calls home I did have a word with myself about the transgression (laughs) and I told myself I should be ashamed of myself and I agreed.

Pre-season friendlies tbh. I wouldn't read too much into results like a narrow loss to Chelsea, AC Milan and Real Madrid. Do you really think that those teams wouldn't stuff MLS teams in a competitive match? 114548[/snapback] They're hardly competative matches for the MLS sides who all have more important matches to handle as well, but I'd agree with you that they're pre-season for those clubs. OTOH, I don't think that they'd stuff most of the MLS sides most of the time. Plenty of players who were cack in MLS have been quite good in other leagues: Simon Eliot (Fulham) Tony Sanneh (Hamburg) Luis Hernandez (Necaxa) to name but a few. The real problem is the lack of meaningful games. I think it's a problem that'll be solved with more teams and certain other 'format' changes. I'm still not certain that this is going to happen; I think the game in the US is going to follow more of the South American model than the old NASL days when we had Pele, Beckenbauer, Best etc. playing here. That model has been shown to not be viable in the US Market; far better to actually develop our own players and league with the odd player shipping off to England or Germany or somesuch if they want. Yeah, it may seem like a feeder league, but that's the model when so much of the sport is played in Europe, the players in the Americas are simply at a disadvantage regarding travel. Solano is a good example of this. Another aspect is the 'hip-hop culture' phenomenon which glorifies the 'gangta' behavior that is exemplified by a lot of basketball and football players. I think that this factors into the decline of baseball as well as there simply hasn't been that sort of a player in that game for some time. (That and the sheer number of steroid scandals.) I'm not sure how much of an affect it'll have on things, but you can be sure that as long as the best US Soccer can produce is Deuce it's not gonna happen. 114849[/snapback] Agree with a lot of what your saying but the point I was trying to make is, that over time more and more US kids are playing the game and it is bound to grow, and given the US population there's going to be an awfull lot of homegrown talent. The superstars comment was not so much a hark back to the Tampa Bay Rowdies days but more of the thought that IF footy became mainstream in the USA it's knocking bet that they'd want that league to be "the best" and the money would flow, hence the superstars would be pile in to reap the rewards, as opposed to being brought in as a kickstart measure. Long time in the future though.

IMO FWIW This is a Paranal Observatory and operates the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) with four 8.2-m telescopes (the Unit Telescopes or short UTs). Each UT provides one Cassegrain and two Nasmyth focus stations for facility instruments. One Nasmyth focus is available for visitor instruments. In addition each UT is equipped with a Coude focus station from which the light can be coherently combined in the interferometric focus. Looks like it could be modified into a Parknob Observatory

SO be carefull where you're walking folks. There!! done my bit

Yep, last years loophole is closed, champions get in 4th go into the UEFA

More like:

AH but if Spurs get 4th and Arsenal win the champions league, that'd be priceless

It's a bit like Electric Chair or Firing Squad, hmmmm which would hurt the least

Aye it is, but a curry'll not help keep us at the top. According to the article it's because we eat LOADS of fruit and veg

From: www.roman-emperors.org Robert Graves' fictional characterization of Claudius as an essentially benign man with a keen intelligence has tended to dominate the wider public's view of this emperor. Close study of the sources, however, reveals a somewhat different kind of man. In addition to his scholarly and cautious nature, he had a cruel streak, as suggested by his addiction to gladiatorial games and his fondness for watching his defeated opponents executed.[[32]] He conducted closed-door (in camera ) trials of leading citizens that frequently resulted in their ruin or deaths -- an unprecedented and tyrannical pattern of behavior HTT = Claudius ????

Generally normal humans ask them in their head, then reply in their head, normally like they dont sit down with themselves and document it in the form of a formal interview on a website. Headlining it under the guise of an interview with an independant interviewer (laughs) 114655[/snapback] Some literary classics have adopted that form. 114659[/snapback] Aye generally in the Fiction category.

Hearing voices now are we ????

wouldnt that make you Parkinson? 114648[/snapback] The interview is recorded in two segments. 114652[/snapback] So it's a hoax interview, can't believe that at all, things like that just don't really happen

Back of the queue son, back of the queue, I currently owe 2 houses, £57,634.05 (the 5 pence was Chris's out of his giro), a Ford Capri, 3 kidneys and a left testicle (after Lovejoy stated that hed give his left bollock if he came) 114646[/snapback] Don't forget the cost of the lethal injection for the guy who said he'd die for the campaign

I didn't like the homophobia myself. 114636[/snapback] Why, what have they ever done to you ??? There'll be an independant interview soon with the campaign to right the wrongs of the phantom texter. Not that the text of the txt will be seen becasue txt talk is banned (a bit like me)

True, and them that are called Donald run round with no troosers, perv's the lot of them
