Decent player plus it would fuck off that lot over the road. Top stuff.

He had times when he looked immense (Scousers in the League Cup being the one that comes immediately to mind) but he was very hit and miss.

This thread has obviously had a profound effect on me. I had a dream last nite where I was car jacked by Tino

He obviously hasn't played in one of Keegan's teams. I'd have him like providing the fee was way under £10 million.

Aye, they got Deschamps to us spot on

Back In Town and What Am I Doing in New Jersey? seem to be the two most fondly talked of.

Probably an AK he stuffed into the lining of the shorts I recommend you keep safe search on when Google imaging Tino, otherwise you get some interesting pictures of the *ahem* "heat he's packing"

I dunno what makes this thread more cringeworthy. Danny B's awful attempts at winding people up or the sad fuckers actually biting at them. I never thought i'd say this but I agree with Torres

Didn't he say he wanted to join our coaching team after KK came back? Howay Keegan, pull your finger out. Lets see Owen try to avoid signing a new contract with a Glock pointed at his temple

Most recent tournements get talked about by commentators as "being the best for a long time" during the closing stages but this one has been class barring one or two games (Romania-France and Croatia-Turkey are the two that stand out).

There was quite a bit of trouble between the Turks and the Croats

Dear Mr Pleat, Who the fuck is Terry Sheddingham?

Murray laced Malisse 6-4 6-2 6-2 the'day. Tommy Haas in the next round.

Their most profitable album ever IIRC

They're okay. They picked back up after there late 90's/early 00's lull but they're still not amazing.

x2 x3 Who is he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hicks Kids today Fuck off, mate. I'm 28. You're a 13 year old anglo-frog hybrid. Now dee one.

Got all his albums but never seen that. Clive Anderson is wank like. There is another one out there where he is interviewed on The Word, but you just want to throttle Terry Christian if you watch it. Did he kick off big style after that one because they were plying Oliver Reed with drink knowing full well he was an alchy so he'd do something stupid? Or am I thinking of someone else?

What he said. Ahmadinejad may look like a Arab Roy Keane but unlike the Irish one I don't think he's a mug. If they get nuclear weapons, which will take another 5-6 years at the very least, it'll simply be to wave at the west and the US in particular in the hope it'll make them think twice before dicking around in the Middle East.

x2 x3 Who is he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hicks Kids today

God knows what he'd make of the world we live in now.

Murray to be Stevie's new favourite Tennis player...

No one really gives a shiney shite about the wimmins game really. She's probably the best prospect due to her age but i'd be surprised if she broke the top 50 in her career, never mind the next few years.

Hmmm. Reminds me of someone....

Daniela Hantuchova?
