Carib-Brighton...... um i am probably the biggest van nistelrooy fan..and it is hurting me inside that he is leaving..but i wish him the best and he will always be a united legend

and i was always thinking toress toress toress  but obviously he likes athletico and is staying put...  now we have rooney, saha, alan smith, solksjaer, and rossi...   they all sound like an excellent strike force... but i dont think that is a good enough strike force to win the league and challenge for CL....

but we will see...    looks like we are getting to Center mids    and thats what we need right now... Carrick and Javier Mascherano....   both play DM for their clubs but carrick could be used as a pure CM or AM... Mascherano... i think is very effitent  gets the job done but in a english style hard hitting way....  i think if man utd gets him  that will be a great buy...  carrick also....

its time to spend some of glazes money...

i want three players  Carrick..Mascherano... and i always wanted owen bt he is injured so i guess i would like to bring... defoe...  maybe man u could give spurs 25 mil pounds for both players  15 for carrick 10 for defoe

we will have to wait and see

See I what you would like that red devils and Big up Carib-Brighton I've always loved that poster.

Someone needs to get Anelka I would say Man U but I dont see that happening, Arsenal might be sorting out their Defensive problem soon hopefully

Maybe he thinks you spend a lot of time in Brighton

Liverpool have now signed Bellamy and Pennant. I guess that means the magistrates in Liverpool will be even busier next season 

I think Bellamy will really set the EPL alight now he is there and if he stays fit, Liverpool will be Chelsea's main rival.

will we be seeing that shirt at Fratton Park this season? Rain permitting of course

Maybe! Arsenal tickets have gone up this year so it maybe be worth it making more away trips to see the country a bit more!

Don't you just love the away pompey treat the away fans, uncovered terracing  Rain or shine if I have the money I'll probably go. As long as the pompey mad men dont attack me 

a lot of the home fans are in the Milton end as well, although hopefully the following season we will have the new ground and you Arsenal fans will be able to get all the prawn sandwiches need

Always a good atmosphere when Arsenal are in town, Since Henry praised our fans there is always a big "We Love Thierry" feel to the game.

Just as well, cos we f**king hate Pires

Chill out Jub, I thought The Maschareno was a dance craze so what do i know

when Cole, Chelsea et all got done for tapping up, the FA should have banned Chelsea from signing Cole for three seasons. a fine is ridiculous but preventing him from going to Chelsea would have hurt both the club and taught the player a lesson.

Ok, in typical girl fashion, I talking bout clothes. Allyuh get any new kits yet?

What yuh think of the new Arsenal kit? Somehow it has a slightly 80's feel to it, don't yuh think? Still buying it though. Nike Town here I come.

And the Man U tops looking odd, not feeling like a Man U shirt. Dunno why.

Anyways, carry on.

Ashley Cole has been an Arsenal supporter since he was a kid, he has won medals with them and is again playing in Europe. He earns a reported £65k per week and he wants to go to Chelsea becasue he will earn more money.

I like Cole as a player, but this just sums up what is wrong with English football.

Isn't that just good business? If he can command more money why should he stay at Arsenal?

If he was struggling to feed his family, then I would agree. the guy earns more a week than most people do in a year already, apart from adding to his already massive bank balance, what will he get from going to Chelsea?

I Can't see anyone other than Chelsea winning it, if they don't then possibly Arsenal. Top four in my opinion will be the same as this year.

The three teams that came up are the most likely to go down again, although watch out for an Aston Villa implosion, they are a club in crisis at the moment.

Top Scorer, Thierry Henry or Schevenko.

I'm not sure if Pompey ever made an offer. Unfortunately Aurtis came two months too late as we had a new joint owner with cash to spend and we managed to get Mendes, Pomerot and Davies from Spurs. We are now in the process of signing Manuel Ferandes from Benfica so the central midfield is looking pretty tough at the moment.

Israel supposed to sit back and let terrorists[Hezbollah] , that's right TERRORISTS, just bomb them at will kidnap 2 soldiers and kill another 6 or so in an ambush on ISARAELI soil. Hezbollah operate in a civilian area in southern Lebanon which makes it difficult to get to them [they not dotish]. They hide their rockets and other weapons in peoples houses etc and use them as needed. The Lebanese govt is weak and unable to disarm them [a requirement of the United Nations]. Israel is bombing strategic targets like airports and roads to Syria etc to prevent more weapons from reaching the terrorists. They are also trying to use pinpoint stikrs withn southern lebanon. It is very unfortunate and sad that innocent people are dying but keep in ind Hezbollah are not trying to limit civilian casualties they are actively firing rockets into northern israel with the intention of trying to kill as many civilians as possible. Man give me a break somebody need to take a firm stance against terrorism and it's supporters! BTW there are also a large contingent of 'black' jews from Ethiopia  that some call the 'Lost tribe' I think. I eh no historian.

if the Lebonese army is weak, then Israel should be helping them sort out the problem, not attacking them. If it's needed, then the UN should assist, but Israel have gone over the top this time.

Every bomb that kills a father or mother, creates another supporter for Hezbollah.

question.

do you hate everyone that is white, everyone that is British, or only white British people?

There was nothing in her post that implied that she hated white people...where is that question coming from ?

I'm probably being over sensitive, but the reference to the fact that Israel was set up by Britain and other allies, why name Britain specifically.

Also, the Israelis known as White Jews, are they? is there a difference between white and "Non-White" jews? when I was there, it was hard to tell the difference between the jews, the Palestinians and the Beduins by simply looking at them (With obvious exceptions).

Babes, you're being over sensitive. I do not have anything against white people in general, but rather the foreign policies and hypocrisy of the so-called first world. My grandmother and a few other relatives are white. So no, there's nothing personal there.

Further more, because of my upbringing, I have always been fascinated by the book of Revelations. As a result, I have been more than a little curious about things regarding Israel and the middle east. I gues I'm looking to see if any of the signs in the bible are happening.

Anyways, it is a historical fact that the push for the creation of the Israeli state in 1948 was done by the british, and british zionist in particular. The allied forces backed the move eventually.

So I am not singling out britain. Just relating some relevant history. I thought it was common knowledge.

someones been watching Big Brother, Babes

you are right, it was a British solution to the Jewish "Problem" to create a jewish homeland in the middle east. I don't think anyone could have foreseen the Israeli army turnng into an instrument similar to Hitler's reich of the 1930's though.

I've said in discussions here, that this is the equivalent to Britain bombing the roads, petrol stations and bridges in Dublin every time the IRA bomb London.

I fail to see how anyone (Except Bush and Blair, who's responses have been little more than pathetic) can justify bombing innocent people, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties, because two soldiers get kidnapped.

the only thing the Pelestinians have done wrong, is not supply tens of millions of dollars into American political party funds

« on: July 19, 2006, 07:23:45 AM »

I have two views on this, with no one more right than the other.

First you have the Israelis, or the "white Jews" as some call them. First off, they are not Israelis, as in the people in the bible. They are european people who practice the jewish religion, and were "given" a country by the brits and allieds after world war 2, in light of their presecution by the Nazis.

Because of this, you can kind of understand the arab views on them. They are not one of us, never tried to blend in or make friends. Just come in, and displace people who were living in the state of Israel (land anyway) for hundreds of years, all because they had the backing of the americans and brits, etc.

Then add to that the very aggressive and often violent Israeli reaction to every thing done to them. If you had neighbours, who for every inch, they take a yard, would you be able to live in peace with them? The Israelis are just as aggressive and warmongering as their enemies. Their access to advanced weaponry only add to the problem. It's like rocks and grenades versus fighter jets and guided missiles.

Now ask yourself this: if this were any other country, especially a non-first world country, who invaded and started bombing up their neighbours, wouldn't america and britain and NATO have already stepped by now and dealt with it? Makes one wonder. Because Iraq invaded Kuwait, america went to war. Yet the Israelis constantly bomb and invade and occupy their neighbours at will, and no one says boo.

Then on the other hand you have the Palestinians/Lebanese or active terrorist networks. Everybody talks about the suicide bombings and how bad they are to be waging this war on Israel.

Let me ask you this: if your country, or what has been your people's home for hundreds of years, is suddenly occupied by some foreigners, who then make you a second (or even third) class citizen in your own land, make it almost impossible for you to get a good paying job, and then displace you to where ever they feel, bomb you left and right for every protest or act of defiance, what would you do? Would you fight back?

How would you fight back? You don't have any great supply of money to buy weapons. There is an economic embargo on you and your people, because everyone it seems is supporting your occupier in their bid to rid you from the land. What are your options of resistance?

It is a very sad situation, created by the allieds who put europeans in a land that they had no rights too, and displaced a people who are from a culture where they never give up and will fight to the death.

Result? This is never going to stop. The war will rage on. And it will escalate, because the arab community will not stand for seeing their brethren victimized by Israel.

I cannot say one side is right. They are both victims, they are both committing unforgiveable violence because they believe they are right.

Lord help us.

question.

do you hate everyone that is white, everyone that is British, or only white British people?

Football / Re: No Offers For Sancho

« on: July 19, 2006, 06:11:16 AM »

At the risk of being shouted at, I have a colleague who is a Gills season ticket holder and his view is this.

The Gills fans were convinced Sancho was going to fail a drugs test at the world cup. The performance, or more precisely, the amount of effort put in by Sancho had them all convinced he was taking Speed or something like that.

They love him, but he is not renowned for his work rate.

The other thing he told me, is that Sancho had a falling out with the Gillingham chairman, not the manager, which is why he has not been playing, However, if this was the case, I would have thought Gillingham would have been only too keen to sell him and get him off the wage bill.

One last comment, this time my thoughts. A team like Gillingham is all about hard graft and team work. The last thing the manager wants is players who think that because they have been to a world cup, they are too good for the club. I think what the manager is saying, is that it is all over now and they need to keep their feet on the ground and get back to their day job.

First of all Gills is ah shit club plain and simple, they manager is an idiot.  
''They love him'' ? but yet still they sure he on speed becuz he cyar play so hard/good unless he on some kinda drugs .. yuh mean they 'love' to take advantage and disrespect him,I now see why this manager is an idiot but when I read your 'thoughts' ah wonder what is your excuse, you and de fans share the same ignorance.''The last thing a manager wants is for players to think that because they have been to a world cup,they are too good for the club'' Tata Pompey pure Tata,so the way to stop that from happening is to down play or put dem down for playing in de WC,who say dey feet ever left the 'ground'  and to besides what that surpose to do, make them perform better ? STEEEEEEEUUUUPSS
The sad part is he have to work and this is his only employer right now so that makes it even worse when ah manager talk that kind of manure.

gone wid dat boy !!!

I'll try and keep this simple.

Agents want their players to move clubs. That is where agents make their money. After the world cup, every agent will be out there trying to engineer a move for their clients, they don't care where to, or even if it is a good move for the player, they just want a move. This is where all the rumours come from so the players name gets out there and it attracts attention.

This just unsettles the player and eventually they put in a transfer request so the Agent can then go and openly look for a new club. Agents are scum bags whos only interest is lining their own pockets.

The Gills manager is telling his players (and I doubt very much he considers them his slaves ) to ignore all this talk and get on and play football.

by the way, Gills may be a shit club, but they currently have three of your best players on their books.

The Royal navy has sent several ships to help evacuate British nationals trapped there, I hope that this also applies to those commonwealth countries who do not have the means to help their own citizens. Times like this are when an organisation like the commonwealth should act in a united manner as along with the British Navy, the Australian and Canadian's are there as well.

This is a terrible situation and I really hope that no more innocent people are caught up in it.
