Haha you were building up to that.
England Team to play France
Hart
Johnson Terry Lescott Cole
Milner Parker Gerrard Oxlade-Chamberlain
Young
Welbeck
Pleasantly surprised Downing has been left on the bench for AOC. There's plenty pace from the three of them up front and wide.
loads of us said "give youth a chance" when Hodgy took over, can't complain at that side. Pity about Cahill, 3/4 chels defenders+man city goalie=solid.

Dunno...Mexes is a weak link, he's pants.....Malouda?..cant get in chels side,Nasri..all gong and no dinner, Ribery...same-ish...not that impressed tbh...Ben Arfa better than Nasri and Ribery iyam.

Well this has taken a very gauche turn indeed hasn't it.
You started it!

According to Jehan de Waurin (who was at Agincourt - his brother and his father were killed fighting for the French, he himself later fought for the English !!) writting 20 years after the fact about Henry's speech before the battle:
“…And further he told them and explained how the French were boasting that they would cut off three fingers of the right hand of all the archers that should be taken prisoners to the end that neither man nor horse should ever again be killed with their arrows. Such exhortations and many others, which cannot all be written, the King of England addressed to his men”.
No mention of gestures in any of his writing.
It took three fingers, not two, to draw a longbow. Draw weight's about 100lbs.
Fair enough, but three may have become two over time, especially if/when it eveolved into a hand signal. Regardless, its a fuckin great myth, like Hitler only having one ball etc...they all serve a purpose, propaganda, psychological,positivity in the face of adversity etc..

you know QI has a team of researchers dont you? its not just Fry sitting there coming up with questions off the top of his head
Yeah thats the point...research/science/records can only reveal so much,that which is indisputable, but sometimes you have nothing to rely on other than what has been passed down, which is what the Desmond Morris quote sort of refers to. Bottom line is no one knows, but Fry and his muckers cant sit there and say "no its bollocks, didnt happen". Records suggest that to be the case,apochrophyl oral history suggests not. For me, theres a germ of fact in all myths.

The two fingers thing may be a myth according to Stephen Fry on Q.I & other assorted smartarses, but has anyone come up with a logical alternative to it's origins?....a myth with a strong element of truth to it iyam.
because of the strong taboo associated with the gesture (its public use has often been heavily penalised). As a result, there is a tendency to shy away from discussing it in detail. It is "known to be dirty" and is passed on from generation to generation by people who simply accept it as a recognised obscenity without bothering to analyse it... Several of the rival claims are equally appealing. The truth is that we will probably never know...—Desmond Morris. -

So hes having a permanent syrup fitted "live"??!! Wont display here, filters no likey....

Big mike owns Dunlop doesn't he?

Aye, I'd forgot about the data thing . . And the buffering issues ha !
I don't use it much 'on the move' mainly in the house for 5 live and 6 music to have on next to the bath if I've got an appointment with the soap . . And having said that I'd have it hooked up via wi-fi.
Clever little app like, as it selects the best bitrate given the signal it's receiving.
I use it now and then myself but got clobbered with a big-ish data bill before I got the Pure gizmo. Am looking at one for the car next, but think I might just buy a new car with one in

My missus has got 4....shes got the eye of Ra on one wrist, some heart thing on the other, some flower design on a lower leg and a cross on one of her feet. When it is pointed out to her that theyre utterly irrelevent to her life as a wage-slave legal secretary, she replies that they mean something to her, are easily hidden and are tasteful, and its hard to argue with any of that, except the last one but thats obviously completely subjective....shes on about getting some sort of inscription in hebrew or fuckin Japanese next, which is where a line may be drawn...
-
Thing is about doing it via tunedin or similar is that you'll more than likely have to pay for the data....if you were to get a Pure move 2500 it'd be 80 quid but you dont pay for data and theres no problem with buffering etc.

After seeing the England team visit Auschwitz, I wondered if the German team did the same.
http://www.israelnat...72#.T9SEtIl5mc1
They did but angered the German Jewish committee as only a few players went (still at least they wore suits), then Bierhoff said a word with a potentially upsetting double meaning and was accused of collossal insensitivity.
As much as I find the idea of a German team triumphing in Poland a bit odd if not slightly unpalatable, the current side (only 2 of which are over 30 and only four are older than me) are not responsible for the crimes of the Nazis.
And how many of them in the current squad have Polish parents?....Podolski for one, I forget the rest but at the WC there were 4 or 5....much to the disappointment of my neighbour Stan, who is from Berlin. And has some slightly dodgy opinions, but does give mw fresh eggs from his hens, so he's not all bad

Try watching with the sound off if commentators/summerisers bother you that much. Either that or buy a ticket and actually go to the fuckin games

Because England is a mature market for football. They want to "grow" the game, and you can only do that in countries with a nascent middle class. And in this country we've been shamed into refraining from making making monkey noises at black players but most will agree they hear a lot of casual racially derogatory language in the course if their week, whether its at work or down the pub or at school. Don't get me wrong, its a good start, but that's all it is. We're 25 years ahead of them publically, but theres not that much difference so I don't think we should be congratulating each other too much (as the media seem to do a lot) as things stand.

He thought Luque was the best signing ever due to his YouTube compilation and said so on his blog....i take it this is the blog he wanted HF and Chez to write stuff for and then claim the credit himself?
honestly when I think back that's really funny..the blog came across as if it was written by an 8 year old. -
Were they scrapping among themselves or with the Czechs?...or the locals maybe?...or the police?...

Fuckin Umar?.....might have known. He used to post on a few other sites I've perused over the years. He's a self regarding bell end who thought Glen Roeder was some sort of Matt Busby figure. Got the distinct impression he thought it was ok to lecture season ticket holding Mags somtimes twice his age on why their opinons didn't count and how he knew better, despite having never been within 100 miles of SJP. A classic broadband/sky tv fan boy.
Sold him a few tickets from time to time after he moved to London for his er "media career" which apparently was/is genuine. He wouldn't come into a pub to collect them at Arsenal once and then quibbled over paying face price iirc. Drummer off one forum for stating with utter conviction that homosexuallity was "unatural" and "wrong" Who is he allegdeing to work for now?.....wonder if they're aware of his enlightened views on such issues?....

Probably Phil Coulter (who wrote the rugby one and all) http://en.wikipedia....ki/Phil_Coulter
He ticks a lot of boxes...born in Derry as a catholic, his old man was in the RUC and he's an ex chairman of Derry City....fuckin hell, the blokes perfect for that gig...

There was a case where some fucker whod been abused on some board or other tracked the bloke down at his home address, knocked on his door, and beat the shit out of him. I'd advocate this approach rather than legislation.
