    I see the French celebrated in style by rioting in Paris and looting stores. Not just the English who have moronic fans.
  3. I have sympathy with the parents if the kid is ill or distressed about flying as it must be horrible. However, if it is just the kid misbehaving because he is bored and the parents are doing nothing to alleviate the situation then that is shitty arrogant parenting. As is taking your misbehaving kids long haul to places like Bali or Thailand. Stick to Greece or Spain and short flights until your child is ready to ready to deal with a long haul flight and can behave himself for 12 hours.
  4. I have seen kids in business class! Its no guarantee to avoid them
  5. Watched first couple episodes of SWAT. Its OK, has potential.
  6. I thought the same when I realised there is a 'coin flip' app for phones.
  7. Luckily i've never suffered noisy kids on a flight but can imagine how annoying it could be. I think there should definitely be adults only planes
  8. Fantastic World Cup and rather sad it is all over now!
  9. Exactly, you can bet that the Russian police and security services would have 'had a word' with known troublemakers and told them to behave or else!
  10. Was I hearing things or at the start of the game, did the BBC commentator (Guy Mowbray?) say this is the 4th all European final in a row? Was he not aware Argentina were in the last final?!
  11. Fair play, France have really stepped up in the 2nd half. Game too far for Croatia
  12. Not a penalty IMO. Hope Croatia win so the WC isn't decided on a decision like that.
  13. I think they made comments about the English pundits, which to be fair were valid.
  14. Football is ruined If we'd have got promoted we would have been throwing money around like confetti... now we are having to asset strip to pay bills. Completely wrong that football is so divided by virtue of being one division apart.
  15. To be fair 2 of the 3 defeats were in nothing games, a dead rubber group game where both teams played reserves and a third place game that no-one cares about. That being said, when we were asked questions in the semi we didn't have any answers. To get 4th with this squad is good going. When you look at how many very good squads England have taken to tournaments over the years (98, 00, 02, 04 and 06) we never reached the semis with our 'golden generation'. I know we had luck on our side this time but like you, I really enjoyed the run and it made me care about our national team again, something I struggled with under Capello and Hodgson
  16. England must have done great to reach the semis considering all their players are shit!
  17. Salenko in 1994. 6 goals - 5 in one game vs a disinterested Cameroon in the dead rubber group game.
  18. Because they were alcoholics and drug addicts? I'm sure rational thought goes out the window.
