  1. Tyler Hamilton: Lance Armstrong gave me PEDs. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/hamilton-says-armstrong-gave-him-epo-before-1999-tour-de-france
  2. You've been reading from my book. Bos-man will probably score a brace and keep our wingers in his pocket all by himself.
  3. Hitler actually played a huge role, indirectly in India's history. I don't believe Independence would have arrived that early had Britain not been devastated by WWII and therefore unable to support a colony that needed vast maintenance money and investment in infrastructure. I doubt they'd try it. Both countries have vast nuclear arsenals.
  4. I consider myself a communist as well and I'm a religious person. The two are not incompatible. One is a political belief, the other, a personal belief.
  5. I don't think we have it in us to win the league, regardless of who manages us. Unless said manager buys a new, world class back 4 in January.
  6. It only exists to save Scotsmen from drinking themselves to death.
  7. Lol, he'll get about 3 games at Real Madrid, all of them stoppage time substitutions at right back. We should have loaned him to some Scottish Third Division shite if we wanted to give him regular game time.
  8. They're a superteam. We're an assorted selection of past it players and future prospects. Even if our future prospects turn out to be world class there's no way we can play like Barcelona. What are we going to do when we're playing Barcelona or Real Madrid or Bayern or any of the other European teams that are light years ahead of us? Pass the ball about and pretend we're Spanish? No, the only way to beat those teams is to select 11 massive, fast, physically unbeatable players and get them all to stand about 10 yards out from our own goal.
  9. We played the same basic slow 4-3-3 in the second year of Ancelotti's tenure, but we were nowhere near as good, because that key trio of Malouda-Drogba-Anelka were off form.
  10. Because we stopped caring when it was obvious Falcao was on another planet to everyone else on the pitch?
  11. That's because they all use vbulletin, which is an old forum design. We use IP.Board. Yeah, I would like a Sri Lankan flag as well
  12. We only scored 100 because everyone was in top finishing form. Drogba, Malouda, Anelka, Lampard, even Kalou, were all tucking away pretty much every chance we got (aside from the FA Cup final where all of those players decided it would be fun to act like Mario Gomez for a game). It wasn't because we were playing any better attacking football, it came down to individual excellence, which has been lacking ever since then.
  13. Torres was never going to do well in this match. First off, aside from Euro 08, he's never had a good cup final, and second, he's playing his beloved team.
  14. Alright lads. We'll come up against teams that don't have the best striker in the world that don't score 2 world class finishes in the first 20 minutes. No need to get worried here, we were simply ripped apart by the best striker going around. No shame in that. There aren't any Falcao's going around the Premier League, or Champions League.
  15. Thank fuck I chose to skip this and watch the Vuelta instead. Badboy is right, by buying technique over physique we have to accept that we won't win too many trophies. This game will show us the future for us against big teams.
  16. But what if the Irn Bru sold here is pishy shite?
  17. No it isn't, the greatest drink ever is Bear Grylls' urine.
  18. I would have to side with the Doctor, here. Though VC is excellent as well.
