capriccioso

Yeah, it's the 150th anniversary of the FA or something. Should have held on to Drogba

No, Sam! Save yourself! 38 million, eh? We paid more for him than Hazard. Porto really are good at gouging money out of teams. We've paid over the odds for so many players/coaches of theirs, Carvalho, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Villas-Boas and now Hulk.

Communism advocates the decreasing role of government influence, eventually, there will be none. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateless_communism Oh, look at me, going off topic in a thread warning against off-topic posts. I'm sorry and it won't happen again.

Redcafe? If it's true.....

I've seen a lot of posts on "teh int3rwebz" that we didn't deserve to be in the tournament at all because we finished 6th and how they wished it returned to the European Cup model where only the champion made it through. What they forget was Bayern weren't champions of the Bundesliga either.

Yeah, because YNWA is 'a way of life' He won't retire, I don't think. He'll play a part in qualifying for the Brazil World Cup and he may even use that as his swansong should England qualify.

Ouch. Must be hurting, physically and emotionally as this was probably his last chance to represent England in a major tournament. Don't they get to fly first class?

No, its not. It's just bad luck for him he got sent off in the 2nd leg. If he pulled that stunt in the first leg he would 'only' have missed the CL final. I wouldn't bet against a similar brain fart in the CWC either

Perhaps I am being a little harsh, what I meant was, though I do agree, that as our captain and one of our better players, it's a shame he won't be playing, but given that he jeopardised our chances of even qualifying for the two games he will now miss, he get's no sympathy from me. What.

If you did the crime, you have to do the time. No sympathies from me, he knew what he was doing, it wasn't like a mistimed challenge or something, he had an intent to hurt Sanchez.

Homosexual, an insult? Smh. So, he still has 2 more matches to serve out his suspension, right? One group stage match and the Super Cup, that shouldn't be a problem.

Hi!

"I didn't call you black cunt" is hardly racist. I've been called by more direct slurs in my time and even that wouldn't be enough to convict someone.

Nice, Spike

Am I the only one who can't view the Ex-Blues page?

It wasn't your fault exclusively, I, along with about 5 other members, contributed extensively. We can share the responsibility I, too, would like to apologise.

No, if you look at every thread that's gone off topic, you'll see that I very rarely am the instigator.

To be fair, that thread made it through 350 pages. Then we had 40 pages of "YES, HAZARD", and the less said about the final 20, the better.

I shall put in a half arsed effort to redeem myself: http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/leicester-defender-de-laet-hazard-wont-suffer-chelsea-torres-3209891

In theory, but it's in a fairly inactive section of the forum. We need an off topic thread in Matthew Harding Stand or Transfer Talk, to allow exposure that General Chat does not provide.

Don't tar us all with the convict brush. Indian-Sri Lankan origins in my case.

Oh, God, you made me crack up! Guys, we really need a massive, 4chan style (as in ONE thread for absolutely everything) off topic thread.

Who brought up jobs, money, and other such related topics? I took that further off course by talking about some mates of mine getting dicked about by their bosses. Not quite sure how we got from insulting ireland to money/jobs/suing management; to Liverpool, England being shit, to Liverpool, New South Wales being shit; and finally, to a comprehensive guide on brothels, adult shops and other such things within Liverpool, NSW.

Hey don't blame me, blame ireland, he started the rot. Then Shogun and WHS had a fight about Liverpool and I couldn't resist bringing up the fact that I live in Liverpool. And then Spike brought up that brothel/West Sydney is shit (admittedly true) and I got distracted.

Oh, shit, I've done it again. Sorry mods. In my defence, I didn't start the off-topic ness, and it was already some 5-6 pages in before I got in on the act!
