I remember hurling a tirade of abuse at the TV when Gus Poyet's minceface appeared for the post match interview (he got MoM IIRC).

Shouldn't Schweinsteiger rather pepare for today's international than posting on an English website?

I'm still wondering where in Schleswig-Holstein the town of Lörrach can be found... 109244[/snapback] You think a representative of Newcastle is currently meandering through Schleswig-Holstein to find Hitzfeld's home? So peasepud has really fucked up all the chances we had to sign the GREAT man.

Mind, this is quite an elaborate hoax. 109225[/snapback] There are so many more funny translation errors - Frederick Schäferhund - Alan Schermaschine and they didn't even stumble across the point where the name of one of them (Lee) got translated into "Schutze"...

Toontastic pre-match piss up with Gemmill by any chance? Cliquey tbh

The worst thing is that we are now getting Steve Bruce because of peasepud...

peasepud and Scottish Mag basically got in touch with HTT pretending to me a German newspaper reporter (they created a whole website for the fictional newspaper). They then sent a list of questions for HTT to answer, he did, and they made an article. However, the article was made with an exceptionally poor Babelfish translation and it was discovered. That's about it really. Still not a clue why they did it though. 108880[/snapback] No, no, you should have said that it was discovered after several days. At least you should have stumbled over the word "Ventilator" ... Marseille ... wink, wink, nudge, nudge...

Aye, I'll bet the laptops of all the top national sports journalists are on fire as we speak. 108858[/snapback] Tomorrow's headline: "Lunatic fringe getting hoaxed"

The gloating bastid will be back on here after tomorrow's game anyway...

The thing is that Boumsong isn't making mistakes because he is let down by the incompetence of his partners but that he is making mistakes that are only down to his defending abilities like mishitting the ball yesterday or looking very poor in direct duels with 3rd division players (Cheltenham spring to my mind).

It's ridiculous. I rather want to see Moore in the team than Boumsong...

Sounds like it's coming from Herr Babelfish.

I've only seen Rapid Bucharest playing Hamburg in the last round but they really impressed me. They also knocked out some other decent teams in earlier stages. I wouldn't be too surprised if one of the eastern European teams wins it.

from todays Fiver.

He does sometimes. But even his misses get voted goal of the month.

You'll never get an invite to join if you keep making posts like that tbh. 107363[/snapback] He's already trying to chum up by using a Hessian flag.

Whilst (sadly) I agree that we could do a lot worse, that shouldn't however stop us from demanding better or asking pertinent questions about the management of our club or those who 'manage' it. And neither should it ever hold us back from wanting change. Alan Sugar was a Freddy Shepherd, he spent big, or tried to, he targeted big names, he talked the talk, but the people in control of Spurs today, who don't have his wealth or status, run the club much better than he ever did. They sprang out of a boardroom of a corporate bricks and mortar business. Some of them aren't even Spurs supporters or were born within a stones throw of White Hart Lane. It shouldn't be a question of who can replace Shepherd anyway, it doesn't need to be a mega rich businessman, a sugar daddy (Shepherd is neither anyway), or any kind of individual. We don't need a saviour like Steve Gibson or Dave Whelan. We just need a competent board. The club makes enough money to sustain itself. While I would ideally like the CEO or a Chairman of our club to be a Geordie, I realise the merits an independent board can bring, after all Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd before and now, were all ran by independent people not blood-tied to the 'their' respective clubs. And look at the success they've had. To sum up, I think we could do a hell of a lot better than FS and the Halls, a hell of a lot better and I'd wager that we would have far more success as a club without them, than with them. 107270[/snapback] Only you could pick out the one positive thing I said about Shepherd and do a long essay on it. 107365[/snapback] Long? By HTT's standards this is a one-liner.

Woohoo, a front line of Owen, Torres, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and van Nistelrooy. I'm getting soooo excited... Next they are saying Brett Emerton will be a Newcastle player by the end of the week.

I don't think anybody on here disagrees that terrorists should get locked up for security reasons. And I don't think anyone disagrees that there has to be the possibility of locking up suspects if there is sufficient evidence. The only thing is about the proceedings. You don't need a place like Guantanamo and you don't need to abstain from basic human rights like a fair trial. A normal prison is sufficient enough, as well is a normal criminal proceeding. Here in Jormany we had the trial against a muslim terrorist who got a hefty penalty and will enjoy a long time in prison. Remarkable was his last word where he told about his astonishment regarding the treatment he got because his religious feelings got respected as he got the right food, was allowed to read in the Koran and allowed to pray. Nobody was apologetic about his actions and there was no chance his penalty was going to get reduced . And nobody thinks that this terrorist has been 'reformed'. I think this kind of tolerance is setting a far better example than betraying our ideals. The best way to spit in the face of those religious nutters is by showing that we don't have to lower our moral values to fight against them but just treat them as what they are: lunatic criminals. Oh yes, and I like it to be a fancy dan lecturer...

You need a Braille monitor and keyboard like me ! 106708[/snapback] Obtainable on order from Dell.

Is Rooney not coming as well? 106978[/snapback] I wasn't talking about subs tbh.

He's set to complete the forward line with previous targets Ronaldo and Ronaldinho...

I don't think we have to alter our methods in the slightest to convict a terrorist because of a crime. And I don't think that a place run like Guantanmo makes another terrorist less likely. In fact I think it makes future terrorist attacks more likely, because it is a symbol that enrages fundamentalistic lunatics even more. And it helps to recruit new people because they just have to mention the name 'Guantanamo'. There are just 500 detainees at Guantanamo and only very few alleged high rank terrorists from Al Qaida or the Taliban. But I think the number of people recruited as new terrorists because of Guantanamo is about ten times the numbers of the actual detainees. And they are the people we really have to fear. 106620[/snapback] Pure conjecture, I'm afraid. These people are indoctrinated from an early age, their recruitment has absolutely zero to do with Guantanamo. 106669[/snapback] What? People like the 9/11 terrorists from Hamburg who weren't indoctrinated from the early age at all? Those people Mohammed Atta could recruit in Jormany? I don't know much about the London-terrorists, but when did their indoctrination start and when and why were they prepared to kill themselves for the cause of Islam? Terrorists need a concept of the enemy, and in this case it gets boosted by a symbolic place like Guantanamo whose practical value is very little. Of course do the terrorist cells need fresh blood (especially as they keep decimating themselves on purpose). So recruitment plays a big part in the strategy and you need people willing to get indoctrinated.
