  1. This certainly won't be an easy game and we can't afford to let up at all. I wonder if Downing is fit enough yet to cope with another game so soon? I would think asking him to play every game in December would be a big ask anyway.
  2. I hate to say it right now, but I think you're getting carried away with the title contenders remark! (But hey, I didn't think we could get a win at Old Trafford either, so let's hope I can be wrong again)
  3. He had none. He spoke very highly of Villa!!! The old word removed was surprisingly magnanimous in defeat. He can still suck the added time out my unwiped ass. In fairness Fergie usually has good things to say about us, even if it's been a long time since he had to do if after a defeat!!
  4. I feel it would be more likely the other way aI've lost count of the times we've been leading and I've thought "This is the time!" only for them to score late on. Alpay OG in the 94th minute, that FA cup game, last season. If we were 6 0 up at half time, I'd struggle to be confident of victory!
  5. This should be in live coverage I think? But if it isn't on TV in the states I'm sure it will be easy to find a live stream on the internet. Annoyingly for me it's on French TV, but every bar in the city will be showing the Marseille game that's on at the same time
  6. This was the first game I ever went to, I remember it so well, starting to wonder if Klinsmann was dead...
  7. Good to see Dunne looking in a confident mood, I hope we don't give to much respect. Here
  8. I'd be tempted to go 442 with Carew. With the Utd defence being pasted together from midfielders, if he can have a good game (and it's Man Utd, so he should be up for it) then he could really tear them apart like no one else in our team can. It's a gamble, but I think it could be one worth taking. Agree that the mentality for the game has to be right and MON will have to get some belief into the players.
  9. Asking Dowing to play again on Saturday might be a bit much, given he still isn't fully fit according to MON.
  10. Yeap, one of the all time classics. I thought vol. 1 was far superior.
  11. James Milner is a part time linesman and if he was refereeing last night he would have spotted Henry's handball
  12. I'd watch the players in training all week before deciding.
  13. Uh, yes, but they did. I don't know what you're getting at. :| I think the point is that reactions are purely down to the result, nothing to to with how we played, how unlucky we may have been conceed a late winner. If we had of grabbed a slice of luck in the last minute and scored a winner, how many people would be making the same complaints about tactics or certain players etc? Ok, I know we didn't but I can see the point, many posts are more kneejerk reaction than anything, as is always the case on here, win or lose. I recall standing there watching in the 92nd minute thinking this is a shit point and crap performance. I think we were worthy of a draw and my complaints would have been the same but we lost the game not down to our players but due to the refs decisions. Fair enough, I've no doubt some people would be reacting the same. But there are also many that wouldn't.

  15. When they did the free travel for the Chelsea game a couple of years back they had free parking at the leisure centre.
  16. I'm an expert when it comes to soups so hopefully you'll enjoy this recipe. Finely chop one onion and do the same with 1 clove of garlic, fry off the garlic and onion in a large cooking pot for 4-5 minutes, then chop the squash into small chunks, add the chunks to the garlic and onion and fry off for another 5 minutes. Boil some water, put a vegetable or chicken stock (chicken stock works better and will give more flavour) in a measuring jug, once the water has boiled fill the measuring jug up to 250ml, stir until stock has disolved. Once stock has disolved, add that to the squash, onion and garlic, pour a cup of water in too and 40ml of cream. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, very finely chop up (just less than a handfull) of corriander add that to the soup and stir then let the soup to cool for 5-10 minutes. Last step, blend the soup with a handheld blender (push the blender into the pot all the way down so it doesn't splash everywhere!) or alternitively, transfer the soup into a electric blender and blend it for around 20 seconds. Re-heat and then serve. Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately I don't have a blender
  17. Any suggestions on what to do with a buttnut squash? Preferably something low fat?
  18. Does such an idea exist? With an economy controlled to that extent I'd say yes, it's called Communism. That would be a very worrying development in my opinion. Would say you can reach this far and no further and ambition would be severely limited, progress would stop and the whole nations economy would fall quickly behind others that weren't restricted in this way. Yeah i know Communism. But no, ambition wont be severly limited IMO. Then again, i'm not motivated by money and have no interest in the stuff. Besides, if a whole country has this system, then there would be shared ambition in other areas surely? For example, a Doctor earning the hypothetical top wage, can focus on the treatment of his patients rather than the money he is earning. A buisnessman can focus on the quality of his service rather than the bonus at the end of the year. A politician, can actualy be a public servant rather than a corrupt liar claiming stupid expenses? Surely then ambitions would be focused away from earning the mega $$$, and instead it would go towards creating a better, fairer society? I know, alot of people Are motivated by money, as money brings power and power is an attractive thing. But i digress, this IMO would be a perfect society, but even at my young age i know humans are far from perfect. I know that greed will eventually corrupt such a system. But what reason does the doctor have to focus on treatment? He's not going to get any extra reward for his extra efforts. If he feels he works hard enough then there is not gain for him in working harder. In fact, as his wages have been slashed already, he's probably not feeling like working very hard at all. At the end of the day, if people don't feel they can be fairly rewarded for working harder, they won't do it. Doctor A will look at Doctor B, both earning the maximum £45k or whatever and say, "He only does x amount of work for his £45k, so that's what I'm going to do." Reducing inequality is a nice ideal, but this isn't the way to do it.
