Winner of random post of the day.

I still can't fihure out why race is still such an issue in the US. I am not aware of debate about race issues of this nature in Britain. But maybe I am blinkered.

people fear change. they will get over their dislike of the new boards soon enough.

who ahr Ahr & Ahr Associates?? Consider me served.

No - Ronaldos actions in thw WC have effectively burned his bridges at Man U. He is headed to play at Real Madrid... Ruud Van Nistelrooy - who has clashed with Ronaldo on the Man U training pitch - is also due to leave Man U, he too is rumoured to land at Real... Could be interesting. And speaking of Real - Beckham. How much do you want to bet that Ronaldo takes Becks place at Real??

The new Keane album is easily as good as Hopes and Fears...

Yes. I feel we could get a lot more out of conversations of this nature in future. How poignant.

Yes - I listen to that part and wonder how much of a fag i'd have to be to support the 'fins and then to cry about them haha

Other: Common Man!

Greg - email sent!

man i miss any real football conversations

I concede on astute. but now we are squabbling over a definition of a definition. how about poignant as "agreeably intense or stimulating". These issues are surely agreeably intense AND stimulating....

Dear Meazza, Your comments on the World Cup have kept me as entertained as the tournament itself - but in the aftermath of Italy's celebrations, I wanted to make the following observations: 1. Congratulations to Italy on winning the World Cup Final. They played a superb semi-final game and improved throughout the tournament. 2. Rooney did NOT intentionally stamp on Carvalho. Watch the tape, he was CLEARLY steadying himself after a period of ragged challenges and fighting to get the ball. He was NOT sent off for a stamp until Ronaldo got in the refs fance and Rooney shoved him the ref was signalling a free kick. No NOT listen to the FIFA Spin. 3. Sepp Blatter is a f*cking arsewipe. His comments about specific teams and players throughout the WC have been a disgrace to football and completely unprofessional. FIFA should be diplomats above all else - calling out teams like England for 'boring' play serve only to underline the very obvious personal vendetta he has against certain national football associations/teams. Additionally - he should not praise teams such as Portugal given their actions set out in 4. 4. Soccer players are dispicable cheats. Never before have I witnessed an international sporting competition so completely undermined by thuggish behavious on the field, diving untouched, play acting, and abusing referees/officials to gain an advantage. My overriding memory of this world cup will be of cheats. Football must wipe out this behaviour immediately. 5. Zizou. Materazzi. If it comes to light that Materazzi DID say something that essentially boils down to racism, he deserves as big a sanction as Zidane. YES Zidane acted like a mindless thug and deservedly got sent off, but if the remark made was of an essentially racist nature, then there needs to be punishment for the italian. 6. Racism. The Zizou incident has only served to underline the fact that soccer in some european countries still is built on a bedrock of racism and hatred. Italy and Spain have leagues where black players are routinely abused from the terraces for the colour of their skin. When the English had a similar problem we were banned from international competition. If the racism continues in other countries, they too should be banned from international competition, or TV networks should just pull their soccer coverage. It is totally unacceptable. 7. Match fixing. Italy have won the world cup. Is it just me that thinks the Serie A debacle casts a cloud of doubt about the legality of the Italy victory - whether this is a well founded doubt or not, the country and the team are stained. The judge MUST put the harshest penalty on the teams involved. A WC win must not dilute their punishment. 8. How good is real football? The WC served to show me that while I am fiercely patriotic when England play (at any sport) I quickly got bored with the other games. I'm playing my Football season here, and it's closer than ever and I know for sure that Football is the GREATEST game in the world. Be it London Blitz, Buffalo Bills, or any other NFL team, I would take Football ANY DAY over any other sport. Roll on Training camp. Nick

No - you are wrong... "buffalobills.com will present each of the poignant issues facing the team" taking from the piece you quoted from me: "Astute and pertinent; relevant: poignant suggestions." Thus - in other words: buffalobills.comn will present each of the astute and pertinent issues facing the team or buffalobills.comn will present each of the astute and pertinent relevant issues facing the team in summary - the original gripe was wrong. you are wrong. I am right. what's wrong with using a little subtlety in writing??

The main one I think would be whether to combine Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan with the ISAF UN Mission in the south of the country to rebuild it. I'd say that's the most poignant issue today...

poignant is the right word!!! http://www.answers.com/poignant&r=67

You're a dolphin fan - I'm not even sure you have one, let alone the right to brag about size.
