Just a warning, I'm probably even more talkative than Ritchie. Where are you all gonna go between 1 and 5pm then? 1-2 would probably best for me, but I seem to be in the minority.

154663[/snapback] Seems quite cheap to me. Anyway, that means I'm likely to be up for this, assuming the 5-a-side is before the game.

Definitely worth reading, good book. 154649[/snapback] Aye, Isegrim would like it as well.

I know I'm missing the humour here, but does anybody else find that letter a bit lame? The stereotypes are pretty tiresome and god knows that the Aussies must think if that's 'English humour'. I'm sure the Australians could write an equally banal letter in reply. I know I sound like a grumpy old man here, but surely someone could do better than that?

Where is Dokic these days? And isn't Sharapova 1/2 decent. Best of a bad bunch...but I'd still impale it with my pork truncheon. 154630[/snapback] Haven't heard much about her, probably locked up by her mentalist dad!

The eye candy of the womens event is well poorer than previous years. No-one was really replaced Dokic and Kournikova in the beauty stakes!

I'd advise everyone to read the book 'Foul' by Andrew Jennings about the corruption of Blatter. It is really interesting, and shows what a twat he is.

One. New Zealand in 1982.

Which ones in particular did you disagree with?

Phwoaaaar, Jim White Seriously though, Alex Hammond.

I'm not playing either.

Spain. Don't think the referee can be blamed too much there, it was the player who did that shocking dive who deserves the blame.

Blatter 100k+??? The twat probably earns 100m+ each year. He is the biggest tosser walking around, always having a go at other for things who he is actually to blame for. This time it's the referees, another time it's commercialisation. 153320[/snapback] I read a book about the corruption in FIFA today (by the same people who did the Panorama documentary), and its shocking just how corrupt (or clueless Blatter) is. Loads of tales of dodgy payments and gifts to FIFA member. Why couldn't Johansson have won the election instead? Grr, he really annoys me.

Yep, he was certainly consistent, if he eased off at the end people would have complained as well. Apparently Blatter said on Portugese TV the ref 'deserves a yellow card'. How does this man earn 100K+ a year again?

I think according to FIFA guidelines nearly all the yellow cards were correct. Sad, but its the way it is at this World Cup. I'll do my nut in if Blatter criticises the ref, seeing as he is the person who introduced these mental guidelines.

bless ya heart. 153132[/snapback] I don't get it, were do I say or imply that I'm too old for Family Guy? 153137[/snapback] Don't worry mate, he's on PatroniseMode, logic goes out the window.

Indeed, he had a very good first half as well. Seemed nailed on for the final, just shows what happens if you lose your concentration.

Our Graham Poll refereeing.

Was an excellent game that.

Wham- Wake Me Up Before you Gogo Commodores- Don't Leave Me This Way Sting- Englishamn in New York Together In Electric Dreams I love 80s music!

Stolen from N/O but: http://www.worksafevideos.com/music_videos/ All my favourite 80s songs are on there! 'Amedeus, Amedeus......'

At the Mackems game, saw Fat Fred, Harmison, Collingwood, Ameobi and Alan Milburn. They were all starstruck when they saw me mind.

I thought Renton said a few pages ago he was going to stop talking to LM.

I think they're hilarious! Those EDF energy ones on the other hand....

The Knack- My Sharona I absolutely love this song! The beat is fantastic. One of my all time fave singles.
