Honest John

I'm going to the game tonight --- will be there

and if there is a crisis, Beckham blames the groundsman.

Queen & Co can bugger off.

Now here's a mad game http://ps2.ign.com/articles/548/548201p1.html

Just wondering, do (m)any of you here ski and snowboard?

Just join in seeing as though I might be going there with giggsy. Thanks for the input people, we're hoping we can get this done this year although it may well turn out to be next year when it actually happens.

Don't usually agree with the likes of the sun and the people, but "What did they expect (after the Austria game)? Purple prose, bouquets and kisses all round? Grow up lads." Steven Howard, The Sun "Their collective reluctance to talk will be regarded as petty and needlessly militant and there is no doubt that it lets down supporters." Matt Dickinson, The Times "They've just put in a fantastic performance, and showed a lot of guts and determination. All they have done now is behave like children and ensured also that some of the headlines on Thursday will be negative ones."

I'm on the Da vinci code at the mo as well. Interesting.

Imagine if you'd put 100 on that. Not that you would have of course!! Enjoyed it on the whole. Would have liked to have seen a better effort by our lads. Oh well. Premiership starts in just over a month.

House bands? As in music? That Arai place sounds interesting. We are thinking of doing this area (Myoko is nearby right?), and Nozawa and other places in Nagano. Looks like that might be a good holiday.

For me the problem is more - how long is the longest I can get off work! " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Are there lots of quads in Japanese resorts (compared to other places?)

Thanks for the feedback. I think it will be Japan.

They are together yes and by the reviews ive read, a good show was put on.

NoFakie Anyone who has been watching a lot of Beckham for many years like me (simply because he played for the team I have a season ticket for!) will know that he wasn't fit. Look at his stomach for a start - putting on the pounds there. That, along with his general decline over the last 2 years and all the bullshit that goes with him. I know what you mean - I just want to watch a good game, not just bullshit defensive play. Now I must get some sleep.

I wonder if that is true. Sounds like it well could be. -------------------------- Anyway, now for a game of spot the difference. Ready?? Here we go - "You will feel tired at end of a game like that. It does get to players, with extra time and penalties" "You will always be tired at the end of a long season - but you don't let it get to you."

I could go into this in detail, but not time right now (work!). Becks in his day - which I believe is now past - was a class player.... in a different way from the others you quote here. Theres no limit to the number of "world class players". Don't agree with you on the Brazil thing. (Take a look at one of the people on the bench at United this last season for proof of that). His quality pinpointing and set pieces on countless occasions won games for us (us being Manchester United), and as well as that his workrate and dedication to United was top rate. No complaints there. His last

OK here's the deal. This coming winter me and a few mates want to take a 2 week or so holiday with a big chunk of that being snowboarding. We're arguing over going to Canada or Japan? Japan is currently winning coz of the eggzotikk and "culture" part ( ). What do you reckon? (None of us are experts - upper beginner / lower inter something like that) Fabulous website and forum you have here folks.

2 weeks of skiing 5 years back. 1 week of snowboarding last seaosn and the one before in France/Austria

Congrats dudes on some great vids.

I wouldnt mind being over there - hopefully in the winter for a holiday. In the meantime, Cheshire will have to do.

Certainly is. Can't wait. Much more fun than the guaranteed disappointments at intnl level.

Hi. A good move.
