  1. Beautiful girl, hungry for more? Flash war with the meat gun! Brandy in your head, you sweet brow, plagued into your sausage sauerkraut!

     

    Absurd is quite true hahaha

    close but im pretty sure the last bit translates as "Stick sausage in your sauerkraut"...

     

    oh and March of the Fire Ants? Fucking immense track...

  2. thats what i thought.... Thats a little sad really.... But like one of the liverpool responses says, its one or 2 idiots who ruin it, and theyre at every club.

     

    Dont know about you, but i dont dwell on tragedies that have happened,i recognise them and pay my respects. It does intrigue me though, what goes through the minds of these morons? (the guys with the flags, songs etc... i dont mean winding up the Kopites, thats just natural!)

  3. honestly, i havent been home when theres been a match on in several years, so ive no idea what the roads/trains are like at the moment. maybe best getting a taxi to James St then getting the train from there, think theyre every 30 mins though...

     

    Im going to leave it to the regulars to help ya, im just a little bored and throwing ideas out there!

  4. Hey lads,

     

    I'm not a huge football fan but my 9 year old son is a big Everton fan so I'm bringing him to the game on Wednesday coming over from Dublin.

     

    I was just wondering if we would make a train after the game for 22.56 at Bidston as we are getting it to Holyhead. if we got a taxi outside the ground right after the game, where is the best place to flag a taxi after a game? Google maps says Bidston is only 15mins away in a taxi.

     

    thanks

    Tommy

    15 mins might be possible if there is noone on the road and you get every traffic light green, but would include a little speeding too! Assuming that you get out of the ground around 10pm, with the crowd that follows, i think you would be ok for the 22:56 train, but you would be best walking to the end of Walton lane (if i remember the roads correctly - the one down the back of the Park End) then get your taxi, so that there arent too many people in the way. From there, 20-30 mins max (barring anything crazy happening!). Best of luck mate, from an envious Blue!

  5. Didn't we also just spend £10m on a Russian midfielder? IMO all three (Donovan, Pienaar, Bily) can play the same position, and all three are too good for one of them to be a bench player. I don't think Moyes will spend any more than the rumoured £3m on Donovan because if the main objective is to retain Pienaar, then Donovan will probably be benched most of the time next season. And Moyes wouldn't spend more than 3m (if that) on someone who he envisages sitting on the bench.

     

    Pienaar - Arteta - Fellaini - Bily ... Pienaar/Donovan - Arteta - Fellaini - Bily ... Donovan - Arteta - Fellaini - Bily/Pienaar

    he spent 5.5mill on Distin who is Distined (see what i did there, 'ey 'ey :P ) for the bench when Jags is back, 3 million is buttons...

  6. We all know that Pineaar's contract is up at the end of the campaign. We have also heard talks about Felli leaving. I know that Landon is new to the club and that I have an American biasis, but he is playing pretty good right now and I think he is a very good player to have. If you were Moyes who would be your top targets to keep and also financially what would be the best for the club?

    end of next season right? He is the most important player to tie down, he would be the most difficult to replace. Screech isnt going anywhere for now. I would love to have Donovan (im marrying an american in the sunmmer, so im starting to feel some affiliation with the US players!) but he's not yet proven himself to the same extent that Pienaar has, so on that alone Pienaar all the way. But i dont see why we couldnt secure both (depending on the asking price of LD)...

  7. agree with the team selection but with Mark on the scoreline. They werent all that against Arsenal but this will be a different game. Johnny has to stay at the back in case of counter attacks (he may not be lightning but is the only player we have that has the strength to match Drogba). I just hope we dont take a hiding...

  8. 1 bad performance compared to Yaks countless lazy strolls?! This is a no brainer for me, Saha all the way...

     

    Yak, on his day, if he tries, is an excellent striker. But these performances are few and far between. Saha, despite being injured most of the time, still puts in his shift (derby excepted - terrible performance i agree) and has some incredible skill. I would like to see Saha behind Yak maybe, Saha doing the graft and Yak just banging them in. But if DM is going to stay with 1 striker, Saha.

  9. Dutch must be relativly easy for you, no?

     

    some sentences are almost completly the same:

     

    My hand is in warm water->Mijn hand is in warm water

    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!)

     

    What advantage is there in learning dutch? Seems to be a complete waste of effort to me because almost everyone in the Dutch speaking parts of the world (Belgium, The Netherlands, Suriname, (South Africa), Netherlands Antilles) speaks English.

    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!

  10. Disagree...German's much easier than French for me. Got a better O level result in German than I did in French and I only did it for three years against five for French (plus some basic at primary school).

     

    You want difficult? Try Greek. I've had three or four aborted attempts to learn it so far. But I'll get it one day :) . Also had a South African girlfriend once who tried to teach me some Xhosa...has loads of different "click" sounds in it as well as normal verbal stuff. Totally impossible.

    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!!!!

  11. 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?

  12. yeh but you're talking zidane and real madrid there...their president at the time (same as current i believe) would spend silly money happily. that sort of thing wouldn't happen thesedays, at least not that extent

    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...
