Dutch is quiet easy, same grammar for the most part as german and for the vocab too. If its not german-ish then try english! After that... well... as is mentioned below, they nearly all speak fluent english anyway (and every other language too!) No advantage, just i was living there and thought it would be polite. But it was impossible, they hear youre english and speak english! Same now in Geneve, trying to keep my french up to date but everyone wants to practice their english (except the dutch, they just want to show off!). Tis a little annoying!

All the best dude to all 3 of ya!

seems to be ok now, lord knows what was going on!

Moving on to Chelski vs Arsenal... Looking forward to this one!

Had a colleague who could speak Xhosa, had an ear-shattering click! as for German, it took a while to click with me but once it did was simple. It was the cases that through me. My trouble is trying to practice all 4 languages (speak dutch and learning spanish now too, so hopefully soon to be 5) and keep the vocab up. Not interested in Greek, same with Russian - cant deal with another alphabet!!!!

tell me about it. i hate computers...

Birmingham vs Wolves. Thought Wolves mightve hung on and done us a favour but no, theyre rubbish. Well played Kevin Philips though...

its not a speed thing Bill with the forum, the topic (after hitting Post) just takes me straight to the home page. Then i hit back and post again and this time it keeps me in the topic showing my response as usual. Its not happening everytime but i'd say 90% of the time. Anyone else having this trouble?

my fiancee just walked past in nothing but her Everton shirt.... i will see you all later!

Le francais ce n'est pas trop difficile! C'est plus facile comparativement a l'Allemand! Bienvenue Monsieur Nantes a TT! Desole pour mon francais, c'est pas pafait je sais, mais j'essaie!

Dumfermline vs Celtic. Celtic went 1-0 up after 20 mins but conceded 60 seconds later then gave away a pen 5 minutes after that! Crap football but reasonalby exciting. Starting to heat up too! 2-1 Dumfermline but dont see it staying that way!

I can see NI coming second in the group, but feel sorry for the Scots. Im waiting to see what happens in the world cup before i start getting excited at how easy the group is on paper...

happened last season at Citeh, happened last season at Real again. With Chelski's ban lifted, who knows this summer (with Ribery for example) and if Real fail to win anything I can see them spending big time again...

Hi guys, im having to hit back into the subject and post again before the post is posted. Confused? welcome to my world! Anyone else having this problem?

Well said Mike! Just a thought, couldnt the FA step in here and come up with a similar rule for ownership as they do with player transfer (max 2 clubs per season for a player). Surely that would help put a stop to this nonsense? At least make it more difficult for idiot business investors to just take a fancy to club, buy it then drop it when they get bored. I do feel sorry for Pompey. Hopefully this will happen the Kopites when the yanks get bored of it and they fall and crumble, i will be less sympathetic then!

Enjoy Beard! I was hoping to finally get to a game seeing as im working in Barcelona most weeks now, but im having to fly to Brazil for 2 weeks and guess which day im leaving... anyway, hope you get a better game to watch than yesterdays mate!

you have to take into account the current market! 6 million is nearly what we paid for Distin, you going to pay the same Pienaar? Come on, anything less than 15, despite the contract situation, is stupid. We cant replace him with 6 million and im pretty sure we wouldnt get the total money from that to spend on a replacement anyway.

Putting on a not-fit Arteta to join 3 other AMs and to replace the only DM on the midfieldwas a stupid decision. We needed Neville at DM to keep the shape that has proven so effective recently. If you dont put Pip there, move Johnny up though Neville and Distin isnt a nice prospect in the centre of defence. Mark is right Moyes makes some very strange decisions when it comes to tactics. I know why he put Arteta on, he thought the Talisman effect would win him the game but it wasnt the game for another creative player in the middle, it was a game for someone who can kick seven shades out of the opposition. Then he puts on the 2 laziest players we have on for the last 2 minutes. Strange decisions...

considering the current market, 20 mill doesnt cut it either. Not that it matters as hes not going anywhere, at least not this summer...

Id go with most of that Mark, especially the sub decision, Coleman was clearly the obvious choice to give a similar shape after Screech went off (who was lucky not to be red carded too). The goal was soft, but in my opinion Howard is to blame, he shouldve come for it. Ok, Pip was brushed aside far too easily but the keeper should be collecting them all day long. Peanuts shouldve gone too (though the 2nd yellow was pathetic, that was the ref making up for bottling the red card earlier). Moyes' review of the game was fair to be honest, we didnt deserve to lose but sure as shit is smelly didnt deserve to win: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/e/everton/8502191.stm One last parting comment, if we can sell Yak and Anichibe in the summer, do it. Big and strong, yes, but simply put... useless. Sell them both and get 1 decent striker. Why Vic didnt cross the ball or take the shot when he had the chance is beyond me...

if that was a yellow card... thank god thats over, shocking game...

this is boring and close to embaressing...

Arteta is not fit enough for this game. Dare i say it, he shouldve brought on Yak and gone 442. We're just not doing anything!

we're lucky to not be playing with 9! Got to say I thought Screech was the one they were talking about sending off, for once i agree with Andy Gray - they shouldve both gone! Im just hoping that we can annoy Carra enough to get a second yellow, he certainly seems fired up!

i agree, i only meant that upfront its really only Saha or Yak, which isnt really a choice (im not counting Vaughen or Agard as theyre too inexperienced and Anichbe was never a favourite of mine). At least the midfield there is choice! Even at RB theres competition!
