Depends where you lived I suppose, Tango. I remember having to stay off school on many occasions because we were snowed-in. The last time we had a 'proper' bout of snow though I'd say was one Friday afternoon sometime in the winter of 1994/95. It took me 4 hours to get home from a meeting in Wilmsl...

How many of those are Diouf falling down? :wink: Hardly any. Diouf's reputation means he doesn't get free kicks even when he's genuinely been fouled. Spent most of the game against us scrabbling around on the deck, though. Although true, I'm sure he's a victim of his reputation to a certain extent ...

Think (I'd have to check) I pay £17-99 pm with AOL Broadband off a land line. It isn't too bad and I can reduce it to £14-99 if I sign up for the next eighteen months.

Many, many years since we saw anything remotely like that Monty. I love snow, but in paintings and Christmas cards only. The reality isn't much fun for anyone over the age of fourteen. Easter 1981 IIRC. Good Friday was hot, cracking the flags I believe the term is. Easter Monday, around about 2 fee...

You are very welcome to keep that lot over there Monty. 8Omph winds are due here anytime from Canada, and you could have kept those too. Don't envy you that stuff.

And Francis Lee , Steven Gerrard, Andy Johnson (to name but three) were brought up where exactly? Gerard and Johnson are just products of the new age and brought up in the culture. Sir Francis Lee, on the other hand, was in at the start, indeed it might be said that the invisible tripwire flip was ...

Ronaldo's still wailing in this morning's Metro about being "protected" from those rough defenders. Might have been more acceptable but for his terminology: "The referee protects the defenders, not the "skilled" players", as if he should be allowed free access on goal because he considers himself ab...

Far, far too soon to be judging Taylor. He comes with a decent, if not dazzling, rep and not, primarily as a goalscorer but someone who has and can score them. I've seen Nat, the living legend and designated striker, blast a few wide and over the bar as have many other players since him. He also wen...

Seems funny how the fans seem to blame everything and everybody and still regard Keegan as some sort of Messiah. Just show though, you can't guarantee to win, even with an expensive England striker leading the show.

Forget laughing at em, leave em behind us. The first game of the season, even without KK, still hurts. Way thing are, they're still in the laughing chair as far as we stand. Let's do something about that, then laugh. I fail to see how where we are in the table is of any relevance whatsoever when it...

Stealth Tactics

In the cut-throat world of modern football, one has to wonder if "stealth" tactics are actually part of a team's training: Do players get told to go down at every feather touch? Is "face-holding" death spasm a weapon taught by management/coaching staff? Do players go through a gymnastics course to p...

Had to look up the Law of the Game to satisfy my curiosity on this one. "A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following six offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: Kicks or attempts to kick an opp...

Huge fine for Barnsley not being able to control their crowd? Oh no, I forgot, those rules don't apply when it's a small team beating a big team in the cup. Should be hundreds of banning orders in the offing in the next few weeks - I'm sure the police will be asking the beeb for all their footage t...
