The BBC bashing Daily Mail even predicted the studio's view of Table Mountain would be ruined by constant clouds and rain. It actually looks fantastic. I'd love to visit there. (Not the studio, the place!)

Can't people STILL figure out how to post YouTube clips properly?

If they start well I think they'll be okay. If they don't...

Watch out, you'll have your ilk questioned in a minute. Come on England!
-
Well, I don't think it was. And I don't think these players are much of a 'golden generation'. From arrogantly dismissing the USA team onwards, the hype has, as always, been childish.

Any questions you'd like to ask Tony Hateley?
gkmacca replied to LFCTV's topic in FF - Football Forum
Seeing as he was only at LFC for a brief spell, is there anything he'd like to ask us? -
There's a reporter on now saying, yet again, 'Given the expectations, Capello will have to resign if they lose'. Given the expectations? And who, pray, was responsible for cranking those up to such frightening heights? These hacks never, ever, learn.

Dat's what Christ said. He loved to goad dem Romans!'

He loves the glasses. I wonder if Steven takes them off and cries, 'Oh my God - you're...er...still hideously obese!' I bet in time 'Big Man' will further accessorise and start wearing velvet slippers, a smoking jacket and a fez.

Oh do move on, you over-sensitive flower.:whatever:

I don't find it funny when they lose at all. I hope they win today. I do find the extraordinary pomposity of some of their fans a bit sad, though.
-
You've got several hours to go before the match. You're not pacing your rising self-righteous indignation at all well. Calm down and start again. Go and watch The Italian Job or something.
-
True. Selfish gits.
-
Evidently, Major Tom, evidently. Your ilk, on the other hand, Major Tom, is patently transparent. I may use it as a case to display my ilk, Major Tom.
-
Yes. Beckham and Rooney were handed over to PR people who got them over their spells as national villains. I doubt Ginola was helped, but then again, he's never been that pliant as far as adopting faux humility is concerned.
-
It is a most pretty ilk, though. People come from far and wide to see it.
-
Thanks, I forgot the fans' motto.
-
They never want to shoot the messenger. Why the hell not? It's the quickest way to get your eye in.

EVOLUTION OF AN INGURLUND FAN If you're English, you should understand this is from left to right: 'Cor! Our national team! Everyone together! In the same team!!' 'Come on England! Yay!' 'We need a brass band! We need a drum an' trumpets! 'Duh-duh...duh-duuuh-duh-duh...hic!' 'Bladdy Barnes! Bladdy lazy git! It's his bladdy fault!' '1966! 44 years of hurt! Three lions! It's so cruel!!!' 'Boo! Heskey! JT! Lucky shirts! Lousy pitch!! Bladdy foreigners!! Boooo!

There are precedents, anyway. Bobby Moore's mistake against Poland is still brought up in documentaries about England. Chris Waddle and Stuart Pearce's penalty misses are repeated endlessly. The only difference is the bitterness that greeted Ginola's mistake. Is that just 'a French thing' or a Ged thing? A bit of both, I suspect, judging by recent French antics. (Then again, it perhaps depends in part on the perceived image of the player: Moore, and Zidane, were forgiven because they had done so much. Had Ginola done much? If you're seen as a vain figure who believes in his own hype, these things tend to bite.) So I still don't see what Ginola is looking for. Ged will always be asked about not qualifying, just as Graham Taylor and Steve McLaren will, and he'll be prompted to mention the mistake. Does Ginola just want it mentioned with a happy-sounding voice? There's no case there at all, and he's making it far worse by moaning about it just as often as - if not more than - Ged does.
-
It's a bit naive of Ginola. When they re-run something good, someone says it's good. When they re-run a mistake, someone says it's a mistake. It's great for Geoff Hurst, a bummer for Ginola. If all Houllier does is say pretty much the same thing whenever a TV crew ask him about that match, what's he supposed to say? 'On reflection, it was actually a brilliant decision by David'? Then again, Ged's a stange mixture of remarkable charm, indomitable decency and exceptional pettiness, and I wouldn't be surprised if he appears to almost relish the re-telling of this cock-up. But I really doubt that there are THAT many people who want to know about it these days, and Ginola is hardly living in a bloody cave somewhere in fear of his life.

Superb!

I wouldn't even credit them with that amount of commercial nous (I'm sure there could be a connection, but the players have 'previous' when it comes to responding to crises with idiot superstitions). They're like the Derek Smalls of football, looking around at chaos, stroking his beard and saying: 'Er, okay, lads...I think I know what we should do now: Jazz Odyssey!' The England players sit there scratching their heads, and then one of them says: 'Erm...I got it! Change the shirts!' They're preternaturally stupid people.
-
I see the England players' inspired idea to win the game is to wear their 'lucky' red strip. This is the 'lucky' red strip that they've worn loads of times since 1966 and won feck all. Other teams, like the Italians, prepare for a key game by using their intelligence. Ingurlund pat their thick neanderthal brows and come up with a lucky colour.

"Feed the Yak" eh? Ha ha ha!
