  1. 3/10 must try harder
  2. some of you old c**ts are about as progressive as the BNP, deary me
  3. whats normal?
  4. yes, the rhetorical question is the problem. remove it and its a mighty fine post.
  5. don't come to me with this pc argument ********. the rest of original post is fine and i appreciate phil for bringing it to our attention. i only take umbrage with this line 'but would YOU want them laying out your dining tray on your lap?'. as if to say that anyone transgender and from asia is a subspecies.
  6. what an offensive post. what gives you the right to think you are better than someone just because they are transgender? moron.
  7. Why sell for £10 million. Surely AOC is a better prospect than Walcott, even perhaps Bale. £15 million minimum
  8. no sympathy for Wayne whatsoever, although seemingly a nice guy I get the impression from Chelsea/Man City/England that he has fallen out of love with football and is there just to pick up his fat paycheck
  9. I used to play it when I was about 6 on my uncles C64!! Can't remember much about it but yes very addictive
  10. goal.com have just produced their top 100 global prospects under 21. unsurprisingly AOC is one of only 3 English players http://www.goal.com/en/news/3376/goalcom-youth-football/2011/01/01/2284652/goalcom-hot-100-the-young-stars-to-look-out-for-in-2011
  11. I'm on today if anyone fancies a game? rickjamie
  12. Lambert, best performance all season from him and actually won a few headers today
  13. anyone seen this article about Adam Hammill in the Daily Mirror - journo reckons he's in the top 3 EVER Barnsley players: This time last year, I was lucky enough to see the kind of goal I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Unfortunately for me, the goal was scored against the team that I support. It was a freezing Saturday in south London, and Crystal Palace were playing host to Barnsley. Astonishing as it seemed to the regular travelling supporters of the Yorkshire team, the visitors were leading 1-0. It didn’t last. Attacking the supermarket end of Selhurst Park, 19-year-old Palace player Victor Moses trapped the ball on his chest and, from outside the area and with his back to goal, volleyed it straight into the back of the net. The game finished 1-1, but the points for artistic impression definitely went to the home team. It was obvious to everyone watching that afternoon that Moses was the best player on the park. It was also obvious that, football being what it is, the player would probably not be representing Palace for too much longer. As the team’s financial problems crowded their Christmas, the Nigerian-born player was sold to Wigan Athletic during the following month’s transfer window. A season on and it is Barnsley whose team boasts one of the most talked about players in the Championship. Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd may have grabbed the early-season headlines in Cardiff, but in an unfashionable corner of the People’s Republic of South Yorkshire it is Adam Hammill who is fast becoming the story of 2010-2011. As I'm prone to getting over-excited about these kind of things, I would say that Hammill – who joined the Tykes last year after being released by Liverpool at the end of a string of loan spells that saw him turn out for Dunfermline, Southampton and Blackpool – is in my Top Three all time players who have worn a Barnsley shirt. He is so good that there’s no way he’s going to be wearing the shirt for much longer. If the price is right, all clubs, at some point, become selling clubs – as Manchester United proved when offloading Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid - but in football’s second tier these sales come quicker and cheaper, and every fan in the stand understands this. But how this information is processed will differ from supporter to supporter. In the case of Adam Hammill, there will be those who will be outraged when – yes, when , not if – he leaves, while others will be more philosophical. But the knowledge that his final game for the club is coming sooner rather than later means that I watch him play with a mixture of joy and sadness. I know he’s going to leave, because he has to. But there is a part of me that wishes we never had him in the first place. It is the hope, you see, that will kill you. But I will not be the kind of fan that howls with outrage about this or any other player’s ‘lack of loyalty’ when they move to a different club. Why? Because clubs aren’t loyal to players, and often neither are fans. If a player isn’t good enough for the club, he will be gone. Why should I complain when he goes for being too good for the side? Football is an emotional business, but it’s a mistake to make it personal. Players come and players go. Only the fans and the name of the club itself are there for the long haul. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/columnists/ian-winwood/Ian-Winwood-column-Why-fans-of-smaller-teams-shouldnt-get-attached-to-star-players-theyll-only-break-your-heart-in-the-end-like-Crystal-palace-Victor-Moses-and-Barnsley-Adam-Hammill-article648385.html
