  1. We're talking about real football in this thread. None of this Americanised nonsense.
  2. He just signed Dean Saunders one too many times in his life....to deserve any respect from anyone
  3. 1. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - The Smiths 2. Ditto 3. At the moment, either Glass Danse - The Faint, or Destroy Everything You Touch - Ladytron. Euro-disco ahoy!
  4. With my mind reeling from existentialist theories after having read the bulk of Sartre's "Nausea", I decided to take on some "lighter" reading in the form of a Jose Mourinho biography by Luis Lourenco that my Mother kindly sent me for my Birthday. I must say, it's improved my opinion of him as both a coach and a human being (that's coming from a Chelsea fan, too). Some interesting snippets of info arise, notably whilst he was coach of Benfica and believed that Pierre Van Hoojidonk was the only player who believed hard work would result in ultimate success, and applied himself accordingly. And plus, guess who was his teacher at a UEFA training course? That's right, you've guessed it....Andy Roxburgh Has anyone else read this book about the master tactician, or have any other input on favourite sporting reads? I'll throw in Bobby Robson's and Denis Law's autobiographies, as well as The Miracle of Castel De Sangro and Morbo: The History of Spanish Football. Oh and a book about a year in the life of Torquay United, which I think I gave to Laxton's Superb and never got back
  5. 1. Just Like Heaven - The Cure 2. Michael - Franz Ferdinand 3. Apes Aping Apes - The Robocop Kraus 4. Computer Love - Kraftwerk 5. These Things Take Time - The Smiths "Vivid and in your prime You will leave me behind..."
  6. 1. Future - Cut Copy 2. Appels + Oranjes - The Smashing Pumpkins 3. A Promise - Echo and the Bunnymen 4. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others - The Smiths 5. A19 - Maximo Park "Send me the pillow... The one that you dream on And I'll send you mine."
  7. I enjoyed it - it sure was thrilling. I didn't like the vague sort of apologism drifting in at the end, although I concede it would be on the mind of every retiring terrorist. The love explosion relation to the helicopter shootings was completely the wrong image to use, though. I guess it leaves me feeling neutral at the end of the day too, in historical terms. Although the cobbled-together group of nationalities in the film served to reinforce that Judaism is NOT a nationality, and therefore in my eyes does not have a valid claim to statehood.
  8. Since I shall have no access to a computer tomorrow for various reasons (my advanced state of inebriation, exam revision, a more truer application of the rules regarding Sunday in Andaluca), may I take this opportunity to wish a happy 17th, 18th, 56th etc to the illustrious gentry that you can take the pleasure of seeing above. As for me? Well: I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday 'Cause you're evil, and you lie And if you should die I may feel slightly sad (But I won't cry) Loved and lost And some may say: "When usually it's nothing, surely you're happy it should be this way?" I say: "No, I'm gonna kill my dog" May the lines sag, the lines sag heavy and deep tonight I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday 'Cause you're evil, and you lie And if you should die I may feel slightly sad (But I won't cry) Loved and lost And some may say: "When usually it's nothing, surely you're happy it should be this way?" I said: "No", and then I shot myself So drink, drink, drink and be ill tonight From the one you left behind.
  9. Fuck it's just gone 2-2!! But the Celtic - Dundee United game has just gone 3-3! Incredible!
  10. Well, Yousef, your prediction is holding firm...2-1 the Dons with 5 or so minutes left...
  11. If you think of the money Aberdeen have spent on duds and added it all up, we could have tempted Gaizka Mendieta up North. And thrown in a year's worth of chip suppers for him.
  12. Thank god Muirhead's going to the Pars. Seals their relegation!
  13. There's so much brilliance in this draw: Group A: Has Inter-Caucasus War written all over it Group B: Abundance of pish Faroese schoolteachers Group C: Has Balkan powder-keg written all over it, in history-teacher ink Group D: Oh for the triumphant return of Ron Atkinson to broadcasting. Just to hear him comment during the Czech - Germany encounter "Not for the first time are the Germans invading Czech territory". Group E: Will finally show Andorra's status as a footballing giant Group F: Will herald the International retirement of Keith Gillespie. Has to Group G: Couple of Jeff Strasser screamers, and Luxembourg are on their way to Osterreich-Hungaria
  14. EDIT: Pre-sale ticket, purchased! I'm away to get blitzed to the strains of "You're the One For Me, Fatty".
  15. It says they aren't available right now - is there something I'm missing or what.... EDIT: *gets ass on to gigsinscotland.com*
  16. I saw you too, but alas I was with the parents, and they are still are of the age when their son speaking to a girl = over-questioning. And fuck, it was like 9am on a Sunday morning - I'm liable to get nasty when pushed over the edge at that time. Still, hope you had a good trip, and salutations from sunny Sevilla...
  17. I saw you in Aberdeen Airport on about the 8th of January - were you not going somewhere exotic then? I recommend mainland Spain, being biased. Although only in small doses, should you go.
  18. He didn't get to see either the Stone Roses or Oasis!
  19. Suicide Five For Today 1. Still Ill - The Smiths 2. The Disease - Echo and the Bunnymen 3. Take You On a Cruise - Interpol 4. Drowning Man - U2 5. Faith - The Cure "Ask me why, and I'll die"
  20. Too true. Guys and gals can't be just "friends". It's written in the book of homo-sapiens, that if you "like" a girl, you also desire her.
  21. I keep forgetting Brewster is the boss. Still, ICT aren't missing him it appears, and we have slipped further away from a top six place....
