I do find all this nitpicking quite boring tbh. I didn't rate Bellamy when he came here, but he was a signing by someone who had a "plan" . Bellamy was the perfect partner for Shearer then and did prolong his career in the spotlight by a couple of years. Bellamy was never a person who was going to become a longterm fan's favourite just because of his obnoxious character. He isn't in the same league as a Les Ferdinand as a player who you held in high regards as a person even when he plays for a different club. Craig Bellamy is Craig Bellamy. Good player, arsehole of a character. He is gone - unfortunately. He won't come back - definitely. Get over it.

You've forgotten to buy the car. That's a one off payment, not an ongoing expense. Outsmarted by Ally, can there be worse?
-
Not good news if he thinks every Nigerian hates him. There are a few over here... Shola! Well, as long as Shola is just shooting at him, Martins is safe...
-
Good news for us if he misses a few internationals because of this. Planning? (note the lack of exclamation marks and s)

Dutch? I'm surprised at you Well, I only bought it recently and Braun belongs to Gilette (Procter&Gamble) nowadays, so I don't felt any patriotic urge... Anyway, I am one of something like two or three Jormans who have absolutely nothing against the Dutch. Lovely folk tbh. Agreed. didn't feel btw.

See, Grimmy and I know where it's at. Though I'm a Braun man, myself. It's also nice that you can do other important things while shaving ... like watching TV etc.
-
tbh. I stopped wet shaving as I am too lazy for it and got bored with my boss asking me if I want to grow a beard every other day...

I got a Polish mate who I play tennis with, he's on a scholarship actually, and I really don't know his name... he responds to Poland though, which is nice of him. I can come over and invade his room for you and see if I can find something out...

In that case he had bothered writing it twice - each time with approx. 783 words...

"Today you could see that lads who can't play football can still spoil a game" Dirk Kuijt after Holland drew Jormany 2-2 after leading 2-0 at half time.

I knew the flowers thread wasn't coming totally out of the blue...

Thanks SSR, now I have spit coffee all over my laptop.

Hey, you are infringing his human right of making a fool out of himself ... or are you enforcing it?

I am confusing nothing. I'd like you to show me where an enforceable EU "right to work" is legislated... It's not but then that whole side of things is very wooly (I'd like you to show me where saying that freebies should be declared is a breach tbh - or are you saying you know more about this than Ms. Blair?), but a denial of right to work is a different thing entirely. I don't know that particular case. Has there been one? Has Cherie won it? I only had a quick glance at it via google and only read that she based her claims on the freedom of use of property which in fact is legislated. What I know is that there is no European "right to work". You do have the European convention of human rights which forbids forced labour, but that's all. There is nothing woolly about it, there is no legal base of such a "human right". There is only the fundamental freedom in the EU which is something completely different as you recognised correctly and which wouldn't apply to this particular case.

How the hell does that work? Banned from international games, ok. But domestic games? Why? It wouldn't be much of a deterrent though would it? - The punishment for refusing to play for your country being suspended from playing for your country. Frankly I'm surprise EU human rights laws allows it (in fact I would imagine it is illegal if it is ever challenged), it's like being suspended from work for not turning up to a charity fun run. Wow, now there is a human right if I ever saw one... Have you read the EU human rights stuff? You can used it for almost anything, its potty tbh. But stuff like right to work, or not to be denied the right to work, is pretty much one of the genuinely reasonable bits. I am even lecturing this sort of stuff, so yes I guess I've read it. A temporary ban for voluntarily neglecting a duty as set up in the statutes of the sports organisation (in this case even with clearance from the employer) would hardly been seen as an infringement of your right to work (which isn't an EU human right, but just a fundamental freedom btw).

Maybe Emre ate him, thinking he was a Negro chocolate bar?

On paper a very good player, but not on the field so far. My biggest grudge isn't his signing itself, because I think he will find form again, but the fact that he was a luxury signing as we could have done with using the money for more important positions. Part of the problem of his poor performances seem to be that he is missing a"partner" in midfield or attack he can play with and therefore is making stupid runs directly into defenders instead. I have noted on a couple of occasions that he runs down the wing looking up and pointing with both hands down to the ball like saying "Look, I have the ball, what shall I do, give me options." Not that I exempt Duff from criticism so far, but I really think it's also down to the managment not being able to give the team any shape and changing the style of play to the strengths of their better players, something that also applies to the likes of Emre and Martins etc. btw.

Eh? That's what I said myself. Any reports yet about him being on the piss in London?

He was still posting on the SMB the other week...

I'll give Papa L. 10 Minutes...

Tbh, reading his biography it rather had to do with the lack of infrastructure of the club's facilities at that time, which Keegan thought weren't sufficient for more than the first team.
