It irritates me that Crouch doesn't play more often. Kuyt is crap, lets face it. Torres and Crouch should be awesome together up front, if we played a 442.
-
He is a great manager, one of the best ever. But he needs to win the champions league again before he retires. Considering how long he has been there and the size of the club, they should have won it 3 times really to be satisfied.

Do any of you get trouble with your joints?
Even at 18 I started getting pain in my lower back when jogging outdoors and had to stop. Recently I started doing running machine and after a few weeks my knees started to kill and I've had to stop that too and use the bike instead.

Just noticed Cappello saying that he didnt pick Beckham in the first game because he hadn't been playing any games, and yet he has picked Peter Crouch for this team. Crouch must have played maybe 30mins football over the last 6 weeks?

Try your doctor and get an allergy test.
For years I thought I had hay fever and it turned out most of the time it was a dust allergy. If it is hay fever, they can tell you what kind of grasses to avoid (I also have medium allergy to the grass that often grows next to rice fields). I also got some decent allergy pills that dont make me drowsy.

Alonso pulled him away before he got the 2nd yellow card but he kinda gave up as if he knew nothing could get Masche out of his blind rage. Gerrard did finally show up to get Masche to leave the pitch and was more forceful than the others but perhaps was a little late on the scene given that as you say anyone could see it coming from a mile off.
I agree that it looks like Fergie warned them about this and Benitez didnt.
-
Sometimes it kinda adds to the interest, other times it is highly irritating such as when players dive and hold up the game pretending to be injured.
If Cappelo stops picking players who do it then that will also sort out at least the English players. Will be interesting to see if he goes for Gerrard or Terry as his captain, Gerrard is surely the better role model though it seems Terry is the more natural leader. I think Gerrard's England form would pick up as captain (because he would have more freedom) and that could help turn things around.
-
Capello is also against the ref-baiting so I think we will see it start to leave the game.
It was obvious Mascherano was gonna get sent off, I guess it makes amends for the Inter Milan game where their man was unlucky to go.
-
This thing with badgering the ref is getting out of hand, seems like things may change with this soon. If they keep dishing the red cards then it'll soon stop, and for the better of the game.
How is it in American Football? In rugby they have their gentlemans ethics or whatever to accept the refs decisions, wonder how it is in the states. Americans usually whinge the loudest so I dread to think how it is.
-
Both of Mascheranos yellows were harsh. But he was very very stupid to keep shooting his mouth off. Ironicly if Torres hadn't shouted his mouth off and go a yellow it would never have happened.
-
I always thought that and then I read a story saying that actually BMI: overweight (as opposed to BMI: normal or BMI: obese) is the healthiest one. Less chance of getting cancers etc, that was published I think on bbc news about 2 months ago.
I guess BMI: overweight people have plenty of vitamins etc to draw on Vs. skinny people. I remember my step-dad was a skinny MF and he was always getting colds and illnesses.

Reading the BBC news today it seems like she tried to pull a fast one:

I think she is going to get a big pasting over the next few weeks for this.

burn her at the stake!!! moneygrabber! paul was a beatle!!!

Well they are under huge pressure so they have to be ultracareful what they say in the UK. Any tiny slip is turned into huge news. Its like Benitez, in front of the cameras he is Mr Bland but apparently he is totally different in 'real life'. I guess you have to respect old Jose Mourinho for his balls in that way.
-
I always think it would be so frustrating to own a sportscar because you cannot use it properly without paying to use a track or breaking the law and risk killing people by speeding on public roads.
-
That's another tricky area. I guess one good thing about when we were cavemen was that you wouldn't have those long drawn out deaths.
-
How do they come up with a figure like that. So weird. I guess they say something like 1% of his net worth per year of marriage or something.

A car is like a socially acceptable form of strap-on dildo for some people. And motorbikes...well the engine is right there between your legs.

I went to the doctor on saturday and it was a total disaster.
I was thinking it would be good to get everyone's stories together to see whether peoples experience in hospitals/doctors here is generally good or not.
My story:
Went to the doctor to try and solve a problem with my toenail. The doctor is supposed to be the cities specialist in this. Turned up to find that the doctor is at least 80 years, possibly even 85. I sit down and he leans over into my ear and says 'do you need cream or oral medicine?'. I reply that I dont know if I need medicine or not yet. He starts babbling about different medicine he has and how many times a week it needs to be taken etc (this is all before I have explained what is wrong with me). Eventually he looks at the toe, picks up some pliers, and without washing the pliers, applying any antiseptic cream or painkiller to my toe, or even explaining what he is going to do, he starts to try and pull my toenail off!
I immediately made some excuse to leave (I am flying back to UK this evening, have to pack) and said goodbye. The receptionist then gave me an invoice for 1350yen. No apology was given for wasting my only space that week to see a doctor, wasting my morning, or taking my money for no service.
Sorry, but if that happened in the UK I would be on the phone the health service straight away to get that guy out of business. No idea how that stuff works here though, cant be assed to waste my time on it.

The quality of driving instruction is important. In the UK it is very hard to get a licence now, and you are taught to be very defensive - expect the worst from pedestrians/bikes etc.
Most accidents happen from what people say is 'bad luck', wrong place wrong time. However if you are not a careful driver, it increases the likelihood you will get into such a situation. Ive been driving a fair few years and have never had an accident, but most of that was luck when I look back on it. I am still learning and so much more careful now, especially when driving slow - thats the most risky time! While parking and on narrow streets, I bet the majority of accidents happen there because it is less intuitively dangerous when compared to say a highway.

its an easy read, you get through it quite quickly, some good stories and action. i seem to remember it was more like his life story rather than lots of yakuza info.
-
lots of big games coming up between the big teams. anyway can win it, even liverpool in with an extreme outsiders chance! if we beat arse and man utd, and chelsea draw with everyone, i reckon we would be right up there.

We all hate the boy-racers, but they are just kids showing off. they think its cool, like a bad haircut or having your trousers hanging around your knees. I'm not sure what can be done about it apart from banning all under 30s from driving. Although, there are plenty of boy-racers in their 40s too...

almost happened!
lets hope this arsenal 'blip' carries on for, say, another 4 weeks...

I use a Britta filter, dont like the taste of the water here.
Its better than London though, that water tastes absolutely disgusting, and it is so soft in the shower it takes hours to rinse the soap off.
