Well what do you all think of the state of football at the moment, there must be some opinions out there i would love to hear what you all have to say. I think Arsenal are outrageous and the book should be thrown at them.
(That from a die hard spurs fan,

) and before anyone says anything i have my own joke about spurs....
Glen Hoddle got pulled over by the traffic cops the other day and the officer said this must be your lucky day you will get 3 points for that

I have always wanted to write a book about the state of football which I believe reflects society.
I havent the space here, but football is, in my opinion in a sad state of affairs... played by overpaid exploited young men, managed by even more greedy people and in the main supported by people, who if they stopped and thought about where theier hard earnt cash was going might think twice.

Cowboy..... we are talking football here not the hyped up version of what is your so called national game which takes a whole evening to play due to adverts.
Dallas who?

I with you all the way on this one Loretta.
I live in a house full of Man Utd fans, but I still don't understand how someone with a called Rio Ferdinand can play for England, and whilst we are on this nonsense subject, why does'nt Victoria Beckham EVER
smile, I would if I had old david to come home t.

Tricky.

Well lets face it Tricky, Beckham maybe kinesthetically super intelligent but what use is that if you want to have an in depth conversation about world affairs, you would have to keep him for visual purposes only - don't exactly imagine him being the most sensitive and imaginative lover either!!

However, tomorrow when an England eleven go out against Turkey, their is no-one I would rather see playing, and after Rooney's somewhat disappointing performance in the last game, I would like to see him back on top form (although he is probably the last person I would want see in the bedroom - well, after either Neville!!).

And if England win, you have a whole evening of my ridiculous, drunken rantings of congratulations to look forward to - and a long one at that with a late afternoon kick off - I'd hate to think what I might be posting by midnight (with that thick beer goggles on and an England win, as a result of a long throw in into the box - yes I would probably even fancy Neville!)

Golly gee, Guest, if you call a buncha little guys, who still have most of their front teeth, running around in shorts playing bouncy ball, "Football"....what can I say?

Because Real Football is kinda rough, they need to "cut to a commercial" now and then whilst the bodies are dragged off the field of play.

Let me take a quick p**S Admiral, and I'll be right with you.

Maddi, I take it your team lost?

They play today Cowboy and they are not just my team they are my country

I know the England match today is really important...
but I just have to gloat - MY SON, Tom aged 9, just scored a fantastic goal from the half way line in the local Derby.
AC Alderley Edge Wizards are always the underdogs - but not today.
5-O to them and the football was fantastic. He's in the bath now with a

Mcdonalds chocolate milkshake for a reward - he can have anything today!
Sorry to be so self indulgent on the forum, but I'm really proud.

I think Victoria doesnt smile because she looks awful when she does, shes obviously had her teeth done but in earlier photos of her they where manky! (am i being too bitchy).
If we are talking about gorgeous footballers my vote goes to David Ginola, i met him once when he came into my shop where i was working and he was charm itself (not to bad on the eye either) and what a physique, he stayed chatting for about 45 mins and signed autographs for all the young kids (i cant see many of the young football 'stars' of today doing that).
Todays score in Turkey i think it will be 2-1 to England and i think Turkey will hand out about 35 fouls on our lads

And the fans will burn 2 St. George flags

Any takers for a little wager

[/img]WELL DONE TOM

Well done Tom - superb now if you can just hop on a plane mate to Turkey and shore up the England midfield that would be great

As one who does not usually ignore Cowboy, I think that really is the best option when you are dealing with someone who does not have the mental capacity to recognise the nuances and skills of the WORLDS most popular and loved sport

Oh dear - roll on tomorrow when this topic will be over, and all that will be left are hangovers and post mortems.

And as for the score - Turkey 2, England 0, otherwise I'll eat my Fez

Now Ireland got off to a great start in the biggest sporting competition of 2003, and are top of their group, ahead of Australia
