Ding! Well played, sir!

North Saint has really gotten bad over the past 6 or 8 years. Metro-East cities have too- East Saint, Vienna, Brooklyn, etc. Lots and lots of jobs have left that area... it's easy enough to guess the rest. Laz what's up with you and STL? I've seen a couple other STLtoday links from you on here. Did you live there at one time or something? I was over there in the late 90s and still have family in the Metro-East.

Wow. Totally missed that. I feel relieved!

So ever since I read on the BBC site that the latest prospective NUFC buyer was an American group, I've been thinking about who it might be. There's a certain criteria that you have to apply to something like this- the first and most obvious being who the hell could afford the club. Takes away about 95% of the U.S. population right there. Obviously as a country, we're not all that into football, so that also removes a ton of folks too. There's relatively few UK ex-pats with the kind of money to do what we're talking about here, etc. etc. After mulling it over for a few days, I think I've got it figured out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group I've been a L.A. Kings fan for going on 20 years now. These clowns took over around '98. They've finally kind of figured out they know nothing at all about hockey and have let the GM do his job, but man, those first five or six years, it was just a parade of has-beens and might-be's. In any case, take it for what it's worth, but check out the wiki I've got linked there. You might end up coming around.

If Marilyn Monroe was alive today, what do you think she'd be doing? Clawing at the lid of her coffin. Anyone know what famous book had that joke in it?

Tom, you are full of win.

No, THIS tbh. Race has barely been an issue in this election. Just because our "fair and balanced" media hasn't been talking about it, don't for a second think that race hasn't been a factor in this election. If Obama had a last name like "Jones", looked a little more like Joe Biden, and was running on the same platform, the polls wouldn't even be remotely close. Race is totally the elephant in the room nobody's talking about. Race in this country is funny. I don't know maybe I have a bad frame of reference or something, but it seemed like racism got a little less prevalent back in the '90s, but then had a resurgence around the time the Bush Administration (not saying I'm blaming him) fired up. Maybe it correlates with our economy; I don't know. I know I hear more comments out in public now that I did back in '93 or '94 for example. As to him getting assassinated; he'll be shot if they want him to get shot. Secret Service works extensively with local and state law enforcement every time anybody remotely important makes an appearance in public. When Clinton did the "Poor Tour" back in '98 he stopped at spoke at the 10 most economically depressed and crime-ridden cities in the U.S. My father-in-law was a captain of one of the police departments in the town next to one of the stops and they consulted with him along with law enforcement in the rest of the neighboring cities. The highlight? A 10 year old kid tried to sell him and the agents some crack when they were location scouting in East St. Louis.

Hey! I'm not obese! Lols... I don't know. The media seems to think Obama has it sewn up, but I seem to remember the last couple of elections miraculously go the opposite way at the last minute... Don't misunderstand me- I'm voting for Obama. I'm not convinced he's actually going to change a damn thing, but I think he has less of a chance of completely fucking things up even worse (assuming of course that's possible). BTW, in my opinion, whoever told McCain to pick Palin for his VP lost him the race. Homo-hating, bible-thumping rednecks may love her, but Republicans had their votes already.

I think thats what he was inferring I don't know, man. According to the article... Sounds like the dad really is just shocked his 8 year old couldn't handle a micro uzi. I know I would be. For reals! I mean what the hell are they teaching at school these days?

Jello is such a badass!

Aston VILLAIN fouls Bowyer with arm around neck. Mates attempt to free the Geordie.

Doesn't know how it happened? It's a fucking automatic pistol. They probably had him hold it on his hip, the muzzle climbed when he pulled the trigger and when it pointed straight up, he shot himself in the head. As I responsible gun owner, I read shit like this and just shake my head. It's a micro Uzi. It's a little-bitty, hard as hell to control 9mm pistol. The dad gives it to his kid on full-auto right off the bat? Good thinking. Truly a tragedy- but the tragedy is that his dad is an irresponsible total moron- fancy ass director of emergency services or not.

Nicely done!

You know, that's what's so awesome about the EPL and NUFC. You'd never hear any professional athlete (except for a hockey player) make a statement like that on this side of the pond. Howay Habib!

So the next five we've got Brom, Aston Villa, Fullham, Wigan, Chelsea. What's the odds of us getting at least 9 points out of those five games?

I'm excited as this on is on TV even for me!

I just watched that American Soccer yesterday San Diego Chargers vrs New Orleans Saints Bunch of fucking weirdo's the lot of them - Motorbike helmets, full robocop sytle body armor and 400 subs How is this a national sport? - American Soccer my arse. Two completely different sports. About all they have in common is they're both played on grass (usually) by 11 dudes. It's the national sport because it is very effectively marketed, has a short season and so demands little (relatively) of the fan, and many stoppages in play in which the telecasters can explain all of the odd and evolving rules to the masses.

Strange as it may sound, this is actually a good sign; assuming of course, you actually want to be with your current girlfriend. If she had been just been acting all pissed off about this texting business in order to get rid of you, she wouldn't take the time to coordinate her friends on an intel gathering mission. First thing you need to do if you want to get back in your girlfriend's good graces is tell your mate's friend X to FUCK OFF. Tell your mate that introduced you to X that you don't need him giving out your number either. Spread it around- tell everyone that knows X that she's a lovely girl but you're not interested because you're so into your girlfriend. Most of all though- DON'T TELL YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Let the intel network find out about it- preferably from X herself. Next, you have to come to terms with the fact that if you are with any moderately attractive, fun woman that other guys are going to hit on her. It may not do a lot for your own peace of mind or whatever, but if she comes home to you at the end of the day/ night, then you're giving her something those other cunts aren't. Simple as that. Lose this "bottled up jealousy" shit. It will do neither of you any good. If at some point she gives you a reason not to trust her, cross that bridge when you get to it- unless you've had an incident that you've not mentioned, it sounds like you're just being paranoid because you have a girl that's attractive and cool. As for the no sex and all of that; you two just moved in together. If neither of you have ever lived with anyone else (I mean people besides roomates or parents), it's a pretty stressful time. You're probably short on money which is stressing her out and she's also seeing this whole other side of you. Living with somebody is miles away from dating- I don't care how serious you thought you were (and yes, for the record, marriage is another step up from even living together). She's probably just freaked that her whole life changed up when you two moved in together. Give it some time and for Christ's sake, do the dishes once in awhile- she's not your mother. This is the worst advice in this thread, filled as it is with womens magazine talk..This either an 18yr old girl posting or some "hockey mum". Well, it was either that or "Burn down your flat, move to Scotland, and start doing heroin you big pussy." I decided to go with A as some folks are afraid of needles. And Scotland.

Probably because the very thought of a player showing allegiance to the dreaded Newcastle Utd sickened them to their core, but I think it's somehow seen as an act of defiance, which is obviously a sin when you are being verbally abused and being pelted with bottles and coins. As far as the media are concerned, as Barton is such a henious cunt in their eyes his continued existence alone would probably qualify as provocation severe enough to warrant a ban. I don't know about anyone else but with the way we've been ridiculed and insulted over the last few months over Keegan/Ashley etc I'm quite glad Barton plays for us, and glad that he enrages the rest of the public. Anything that pisses off those fat pigs on Fleet Street is good enough for me. So they were just being cunts then. Gotcha. Thought maybe I'd missed something.

Is it ironic then that I'm generally considered strange by American standards? After all, I do follow soccer.

Can one of you inform this ignorant American why Barton kissing the badge was such a huge deal to the Sunderland fans?

Well said Dad, if you stupid retards know anything you would know he is uncle phil to Will Smith an my Dad iam CARLTON BANKS he is PHIL BANKS havint you all got a stadium to loiter around not like you have a job is it. Why do you keep adding i's to words that end in n't, where you miss the apostrophe out? It's hard to type whilst making a breakdancing video.

Geremi and Butt? Neither Guthrie or Barton? i want barton out and i actually would rather guthrie than geremi at the moment yeah lol Is Barton still on suspension or was last match the end?
