United take the lead, with a powerful strike from Nani

yeah, after Liverpoo and Aston Villa, Everton deserve an easy draw

2 minutes of extra time... almost there It's over! Excelent win. Just saw the last half hour, but I saw a solid team, not just defending the lead, but looking for more. Also, I noticed a few scares at the back, hopefully moyes can correct that for the rest of the season

Game Over, man!!! Game Over!!!!

And what if the third man isn't ticklish...?

well, you said there's a bunch of guys, half of them are in until they're out, then they switch, or something like that... so, you know... read your description, but instead of cricket, imagine gay orgy. I think it would fit as well.

just came across this: Improv Everywhere There's some really amazing stuff there. I especially recomend this one:

I still don't know if it's sports or something else... And if it IS something else, I already know the ins and outs. Belly buttons, right?

While she's distracted by my boobs, her husband can wack her in the head

I don't know if you're talking about cricket or some massive gay orgy

João, not José And by the way, you guys have been checking up on the players from Braga I mentioned some time ago? There's also lots of young talent there, and it's much cheaper, I might add. There's quite a few quality players in minor clubs (not that Braga is a minor club, simply smaller then the Big 3) over here, and they'd cost a lot less. From what I heard a few weeks back, there's been Everton envoys watching a few Braga games, so either someone reads this forum, or the club has not gone completely unnoticed . Anyways, I think Everton need to correct 2 problems, the small squad, that makes every injury an extremely though problem, and a few more quality players, to, if nothing else, allow for a better squad management, so as not to burn the players. Remember, next season the UEFA will be like the Chamions League, so there's a lot more games to played. Everton cannot afford to have such a small squad, if you hope to progress as much as possible in every single competition.

you know, I know how it's played, a flat bat, a ball, 3 big sticks and a little one, but I still have no idea of what anybody is saying when I hear/read about cricket... I've managed, over the years, to figure out baseball, rugby, ARR (American Rules Rugby, aka football ), even curling, but I still have no clue whatsoever about cricket when people talk about it...

I honestly don't get it... I get more caffeine out of our expressos (although we don't call 'em that) than i get from one of them large cups at starbucks. Even their damned expressos taste like... well, not coffee

you know, he might not have scored, but we won the championship and the national cup. Great keeper, but boy, did he let in some strange ones... And kept his defenders always in place, yelling all the time. No wonder, who'd want a pissed off Great Dane like that coming at you?

Great Britain, then But one is in England. unless you dispute London beeing in England too

yeah, he's awesome. that football one has great scenes, some I hadn't seen, he has another one, with more stuff, really amazing: Plus, AC/DC soundtrack

They're not feeder clubs, in that regard, altough protocols may exist with some, but those aren't specific to these clubs. These are actual clubs, in our case, with the name Sporting in it, and that have requested to be a part of the Sporting family. Currently there's 186 of them, not only in Portugal, but also in countries like Canada, France, South Africa, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Brazil, even a couple in England Nº 141 Sporting Academics Futebol Club Coridand - Green Road St. Clement - Jersey JE2 6QA - UK - Great Britain founded: 30/06/1973 Nº 162 Sporting Clube de Londres 27 Elkstone Road - London W10 5NP Ingland founded: 15/05/1986

Japanese gameshows... And Engineer's dog Self explanatory, really... This in'st a funny clip per se, but it's still pretty entertaining. Last 25, 30 minutes of last year's Cup Semi Final match against benfica, Sporting are down 0-2 at that time. Watch the video to see the outcome

just curious, do english clubs have what we call here in Portugal "filiais"? Translates to something branches. Meaning a corporation has branches in other places, but they're not really like branches they're independent clubs, they just asked to used the name, and have a connection with the main club. Sorta like a franchise. Do you guys have that?

Of course they're not fans of hammy. It's spain, Home turf for Alonzo. It's not about racism, it's about him vs. alonzo, plain and simple. As for the insults, well it's idiotic, really, but it's the product of a society with a lot of foreign immigrants. There's that in practically all of europe, england with the pakistanis, portugal with brazilians and africans, spain with north africans, france with pretty much everything, germany with the turkish, etc. I myself am not a hammilton fan, but it's got nothing to do with race or nacionality. My 2nd favorite driver was Mansel (Senna was and always will be GOD ), it's simply that I don't like him. I think he's a conceited, arrogant SOB. Much like Schumaker was, I didn't like him either. I'm not saying he's not a good driver, he is, but there's more to it than that. There's champions, and then there's Champions. And, for example, while schumaker won more championships than anyone else, he's not in the same league as Fangio, Senna, Prost, Mansel, Piquet, both the Hills (Graham and Damon) and Fittipaldi. All these, to me, while not simply great champions, were great men, trully inspiring. I didn't see that in schummy, and i don't see it in hammy either.

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna get abusive. Any mail that starts with the words "Dear Starbucks, I really like your coffee" are clearly from people that A- Don't know what coffee is; B- Have lost all sense of taste. If there's any yanks around, can you please answer me one question? Do you have any class in school that teaches you how to ruin coffee grounds? Because quite frankly, of all the times I've been to the US, I've never drunk a decent cup of coffee. So i'm wondering if it's something you learn over there... It's the same in those breakfast dinners, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. Any ideas?

The real question is how long can the sitff competition last... But I can see myself with a decent daily average I can't imagine why a dude would need "that" virginity taken out before marrying...

yeah, I'm getting my ticket too. That's a job I can see myself building a career on.

Well, there's a few things I can tell you about him. Yes, he's a bit on the short side, but he doesn't turn away from a dispute, he's very hard-working, running the entire lengh of the field for the entire 90 minutes. He's not a sprinter, no, but he isn't slow either, he has speed, good ball control, and good vision. He's very good at passing, especially through balls for fast attackers, but there's one thing he has that, to me, define him: -He has the highest stamina and (quite possbily) the thoughest hide I've ever seen in a player. He goes the whole 90 minutes, EVERY SINGLE GAME. Last season, he played 57 games for Sporting, plus the Portugal games. I've seen him take a shit load of beatings, and he hasn't had even a minor injury, let alone a major one. Seeing Everton's luck in the fitness department this season, I think you can see the beneficts of having a player like him, that's always match fit. Also, he's good at defending, has good positioning, so he recovers a lot of balls, but seldom gets booked. Just to give you the picture, he's on his 4th yellow of the season, and last year, he didn't miss any matches because of suspensions. The thing is, things might be very different come this summer. porto and benfica are clearly underperforming, and, if we were playing like we should, we'd be top of the league by now with a confortable margin. as it is, I don't even know if we can win it. I do know that an election is coming, and who knows what will happen after a new president is elected.

Can't say I'm surprised. Remember, Scolari hasn't managed a club in over 8 years, that's a lot of time, add to that the fact that Chelsea want results, and want them fast, it was only a matter of time. About Guus Huddink, i can see it happenning. Remember, he's currently the Russian manager, and, reportedly, a good friend of Roman, so I wouldn't be surprised.
