  1. Aye, I saw that they were relegated. But, like you say, a team that got relegated from the Swiss league beating the team that finished 11th in the SPL is hardly a huge shock.
  2. What about editing thread titles with typos in them?
  3. Mrs. Bruce was much more unstable than Mrs. Findlayson. The kids absolutely destroyed that poor woman. She used to run off into her cupboard for a greet when things got out of hand, which was basically every lesson. She also strongly resembled a turkey.
  4. I have a vague memory of this, but can't remember which one. Wasn't Mrs. Findlayson was it?
  5. Vaduz play in the Swiss league - would you have the same opinion of them if you thought they were just a Swiss team, as opposed to Lichtensteiners? I apologise if you're basing your view on having actually seen Vaduz play. The SPL is crap but, from what I've seen, so is every other European league outwith the 4/5 elite countries. Our league's reputation suffers massively from being England's neighbour, IMO.
  6. Next to all of his many atrocities, that would have to go down as mere hijinks. Or possibly tomfoolery. The best weed-related incident at school was when a kid had some stolen by a classmate, so put his hand up and demanded that the teacher tell the other lad to give him his drugs back. That boy was a real winner, needless to say.
  7. What Ross doesn't tell you is that he was responsible for most of the blood. Boy's fuckin' mintal like.
  8. Aye, apparently Jackie McNamara's experience and European pedigree didn't help them much. Who'd have thought it?
  9. Everyone knows the spoilt little shits were all Kingswells Gordon's rejects anyway You're a fair few years older than me, right? It went downhill. Not "insane", just nae very enjoyable.
  10. It's all on Twitter these days. Fucking MTV, with their Napsters and such.
  11. The overall quality of play might not be as good as la Liga or the EPL right now, but the defending in Serie A is still streets ahead of either of the "exciting" leagues IMO. So Eto'o has scored more goals, but he's done it in a more attacking, more creative team, in a defensively inept league. On the other hand, Ibrahimovic has had a fucking shedload of penalties to take, which makes his record slightly less impressive. Also, Ibrahimovic is a fucking ponce. I'm sure I've posted a video of him getting slapped about and generally destroyed by Giorgio Chiellini before. Might dredge it up as a character reference.
  12. I doubt Guardiola is daft enough to remove any sort of balance from his side by taking out Toure. Anyway, I thought the Villa deal was supposed to be looking less likely to happen now. I think Valencia have stabilised a bit financially, at least in the short term, no? Eto'o plays in a league where nobody really bothers to defend, with a host of top class creative players geared almost entirely towards making chances for him. Ibrahimovic plays against teams that put 9/10 men behind the ball, with Dejan Stankovic as the main creative midfielder, and Vieira or Muntari, Cambiasso and Zanetti behind him - all basically defensive midfielders, apart from Muntari, who's just a guy that runs about a lot. There's been plenty players who've looked good in Spain and failed miserably in Italy. I'll be interested to see how Eto'o copes with proper offside traps and/or very little space in behind defences to run into. He's no Pippo Inzaghi... Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that Inter's tactic is to get every other team in Serie A fined and their stadiums closed for racist chanting at their new front two of Balotelli and Eto'o. Apparently the chants of "Zlatan is a gypsy" weren't enough. And no matter what else they do this summer, nothing will be as breathtakingly stupid as their signing of Lucio. Boy's a bombscare.
  13. I don't think it's a great move for either team, and I don't hink either manager will be pleased, because I don't think either club's motives behind the transfer have a lot to do with football. It seems to have more to do with the Presidents and the players. I don't think either manager will be particularly happy. I don't think Mourinho would have chosen either to sell Ibrahimovic or to replace him with Eto'o. Ibrahimovic, although not as good as the Italians think he is, has a scoring record that not many in Serie A can match, despite numerous injuries. Mourinho will have to chage his system to accommodate Eto'o, and Inter will need also need to sign a proper creative midfielder, since Eto'o, unlike Ibrahimovic, can't just be left alone in front of a workmanlike midfield and expected to make things happen. Unless Inter think Balotelli is ready to replace Ibrahimovic, which I doubt. And that's without even ging into the difference between scoring goals in Serie A and la Liga. So to me, it looks like President Moratti just wanted the wad of cash, which Inter don't need. From Barca's point of view, although Ibrahimovic is a fantastic player, I think their system is better off with a pure goalscorer like Eto'o. They don't need a creative player up front, since they've got 5 others in their side already. Ibrahimovic also has a crap record in the CL. So I reckon this signing is just Laporta trying to keep the fans happy by making a high profile signing. Incidentally, both players strike me as total pricks.
  14. S'aright though; your sister team aren't going to be any good either.
  15. Wait...what? In other, better news: Batistuta set to score goals for Boca on horseback | Reuters
  16. Discoloured turds are rarely good omens.

    Pet Hates!

    TV adverts for mobile phones/phone tariffs/cars/home insurance/computers/savings accounts that sound somewhere between a Martin Luther King speech and a latter era U2 song. Fuck directly off, your "inspirational" drivel makes me want to avoid making any positive changes in my life just to spite you.
