MattM4

exactly, it's all implicit and understood that he'll get only a few games on top form

Im living with a Spurs fan this semester ... and he reckons they should cash in on Defoe asap. As there's no room for him in the team really. Keane does well when he gets a run (as he's doing now). Doubt Keane'll be leaving

Since the Marseille semi for some reason, NUFC has managed to inject a sense of "expect the worst, and you wont be let down" i rarely feel angry nowadays when we lose

awww ... harsh lol he's a good man

I agree here. Until we maybe see the best of what Luque has to offer, Alan is still the second best striker at the club.

lol aye good point. Even if you dont think the minute's silence is not fully waranted, you dont do that. Especially after seing the pain his family were in.

haha thats quality .... Vodafone are being a bit harsh here pulling the plug like that after the new deal came in just last year. Hope ManU made them cough up. They should go back to Sharp. ps, I'm tempted to get the grammar police to come down on Matty ....

oh, how i laughed!

only in Americe

that must have taken forever!

Like Emre was before we signed him? 56497[/snapback] true, but ballack is worse

He's such a diving cunt, hope we dont have to put up with him in the Premierleague!

Precisely 56322[/snapback] The hardware that Konami know off by heart and have had to work with for almost 4 years now. Konami are indefensible tbh

I dont think younger voters actually voted for him as much but I remember it was one of the backlash effects. Most young voters didnt want Chirac in anymore. But there were 16 candidates in the first round in total, and a lot of the "rebellious" voting got spread around leaving LePen with enough to go through.

that is exaclty my situation actually, but i do have french nationality (since ive been 18) but then again as i'm not algerian, maroccan, then i suppose im lucky not to suffer from discrimination. You can sense tensions in a lot of areas, from what are second generations of immigrants. As a lot of youth are stuck in between two cultures/countries, promoting their differences in France whilst not being welcome in their country of "origin" anyway, im glad Bordeaux seems to be rather quiet. 55394[/snapback] I lived near Bordeaux for a few months and I got the impression that while it's an industrial city it differs from a lot of the other large cities in it's racial breakdown. I'd be interested to get your view on that. I feel there's a very large racial element to these riots and these things work both ways. I think the reason it started takes the piss. I also have a very different opinion of France now than before I lived here, others may think as I did, it may be quite left-wing in some ways but it's very police-state in others. Leazes - I would like a really definitive idea from you as to who 'us' and 'our own' are to you? 55422[/snapback] BDX does have its ethnic minorities, stereotypically confined to "cités" like any other large city. But the issues and tension are on a much smaller scale than places like Paris, Marseille or the Lyon area I think. This might be because it still has strong links to its bay area and the basque country. You can sense that in larger cities France might be losing its identity, or maybe should I say finding itself a new one, it is becoming a massive melting pot of cultures, which i guess will always cause friction. The fact that LePen got through to the second round at the last prez elections, says a lot.

everyone says that but it's bs they should have found a way to be able to have the crowd there and no slowdowns, why we should have one or the other is a shambles. This is just them being too big for their own shoes. Trying to get great graphics then being caught out. Idiots. PES is always full of these niggling little bugs/faults/errors which is one of the reasons (other than licensing) why FIFA still as successful as it is.

lol that is a disgrace for what is supposed to be the best footy game there is!

not better than mine, i have the same one

Ramage is a cut above defensively though, already. Maybe if we force them together at really high pressures we can solve the right back problem? Don't like to think about what the outcome would look like... 53010[/snapback] one thing Ramage can learn from Carr is his crossing. He has always impressed me with his delivery.

oh god .. please not a crappy nil nil

one of the commentary snipits gets on my nerves, it's when the guy said something "the ball took a wicked deflection off the post and left the keeper helpless" that makes no sense man, if the ball hits the post it's usually if not always already past the keeper.

oh my god, thank you so much for typing that ... the memories!!
