WERE (past tense) ****. Not anymore, although I saw the writing on the wall in the tan game in Manchester two years ago! If you can improve from a team that had been to just two finals and had one draw (against Holland in 1980 was it?) to show, then there is hope for everyone.Quote:

Anyway I didn't think they would concede a goal cos they defend well
so I went for a 1:0 win at 8-1.
My £2.50 made me £20 and put my online acount back into profit :D
I did have to sweat it out from the 58th minute though.
I was also gonna have a bet on Sharapova for the tennis but
unfortunately I didn't get on her on time (so to speak) :p
Ouuuuch!! Anyone see Tom Humphries in the Observer Sports mag? No great fan of 'five dinners' after the sh*t he caused with you-know-who, but he was excellent about In-ger-land. Claimed that when Argentina knocked out the tans in France 98 he jumped up in the press box in St Etienne and 'discgraced myself'. He didn't shout 'Las Islas Malvinas Argentinas' but it was what he was thinking. :D He blames the police for all the hooliganism over the years: 'Beery and xenophobic, given to urinating in public places and completely unaccustomed to sunshine, they are trained to have hair trigger tempers. It's in their make-up to 'over react' and become 'heavy handed'. Those pesky police. No matter where they go their reputation precedes them. It's a minority, of course, because most of them are good police, but that's little consolation when they start breaking windows and urging local women to get their tits out for the lads.' Priceless! :DQuote:
