Re: World Cup, Rd of 16, Sat 28 June - Tue 1 July (Sunday Pg Actually my "entire" argument wasn't based on that - my main point was that it's usually pretty impossible for any normal human being to be absolutely certain on the issue without the benefit of a recorded replay. Which the refs...

Re: World Cup, Rd of 16, Sat 28 June - Tue 1 July (Sunday Pg The official standing beside the goal is no more or less a human being than the ref., and the human eye and mind are extremely susceptible to illusions. And, similar problem to "offsides", it is difficult for humans to look carefully...

Re: World Cup, Rd of 16, Sat 28 June - Tue 1 July (Sunday Pg Can't open your attachment. None of the "pundits" questioned the save. Had a look at the replays - it's marginal in every single penalty in this match whether or nor the keeper moves in front of the line (not just moves) before the...

Re: World Cup, Rd of 16, Sat 28 June - Tue 1 July (Sunday Pg Not clear that he did jump off early.

Re: Save Our Dave Campaign: SOD Sorry, haven't got time to read all the replies, so am probably only repeating a point which has already been made. Drawing Bayern is the best draw Moyes, and SOD, could have wished for. Almost everybody expects Bayern to absolutely batter ManU. So if they do...

Well, you got two now! ;)

Are you being serious? First game back after an injury layoff. Rather better than "OK" - and besides scoring, played a crucial role in the build-up to the other two goals.

Why should anyone believe you?

Re: Edin Dzeko legend I haven't read your post - or most of the posts in this thread - I haven't got the time. I was replying to ed10, and other posters who have an exaggerated sense of Edin's quality, and his role in the team. They seem to want the Man.City team to be set up to play with...

Re: Edin Dzeko legend It's not hypothetical to point out that it's always going to be easier for a substitute with fresh legs to score goals against a tired defence, than it is for a player on at the start playing against a fresh defence. That's regardless of what particular style the team is...

Re: Edin Dzeko legend Trouble is that some Dzeko fans seem to think that the whole team should revolve around him, and the other players are merely there to "feed him the ball". Dzeko seems to be a great chap, and really doesn't deserve those sort of "fans", who clearly are not fans of...

Nothing obvious at all at this stage. Let's wait at least a season before deciding on all of these - with the exception of Silva, who has already proved he can cut it over a season in the EPL. I remember an article by David Mellor after Drogba had been at Chelsea for over a season, claiming...

Of course it's an advantage if AMPs can score goals! But none of them are primarily in the side because of their goals. As for "assists", I can remember Silva doing his fair share last season. He is not "on form" at present. All such players go through such phases. That's no reason to call for...

I think you would perhaps be more "fucking arsed" if they blamed you for the Holocaust, Hitler, Silvio Berlusconi, Michel Platini etc.etc.!<br /><br />-- Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:56 pm --<br /><br /> Precisely.

It seems to me that it would be quite possible to play Aguero and Falcao in the same side. Falcao could take on the Dzeko/Balotelli type role, and would probably at present do it better then either Edin or Mario.

Nakamura is Japanese, not Korean. But then again many in this country lump Koreans, Chinese, Japanese etc. together with little distinction. That certainly is "racist". You don't have to be a member of the "PC brigade" (I certainly am not) to point that out. But imagine if others were to make...

Don't totally agree. Eating dogs is regarded as somewhat disgusting by many in this country, unlike eating hummus or shrimp on the barbie. I agree absolutely that bringing elephants into anything isn't necessarily racist. In the end what matters is intent, not the actual thing said. I am sure...

The skilful style of play of all these, is of a sort where they need to be on top form to be fully effective. They will all have periods when they are off form. Even Messi and Ronaldo have had periods when they have been relatively ineffective. The sort of player who gets by on "work rate" will...

The majority of Korean people do not eat dogs. AFAIK, there's no evidence that Park is one of those who does. So yes, it is racist.
