  1. 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."

    Oliver Holt, Daily Mirror

     

    "It spoke volumes for their deluded, self-important belief that they are celebrities beyond criticism."

    Jeff Powell, Daily Mail

     

    "If they want to go on the counter-attack with the media, I think that's a good thing. There should be more of a dialogue between journalists and players and I would welcome the opportunity to have a debate with them about what they feel has been in the newspapers this week."

    Paul Hayward, Daily Telegraph

     

    "It is petulant and childish. I can understand why they're upset but the press are a link between the fans and the players. That's an issue they haven't seen or haven't had the wisdom to perceive."

    Paul McCarthy, The People

    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. cool.gif

  3. 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."

  4. 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 season at United saw a dip and I'm glad he was sold for the big bucks. Fergie made the right choice.

  5. 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 ( lol.gif ).

     

    What do you reckon? (None of us are experts - upper beginner / lower inter something like that)

     

    Fabulous website and forum you have here folks.
