What A n Ending---- Exeter City 1, Millwall 1

Excretia City, trailing 1-0 as time is running out in the Second Half, and then Excretia's Tully gets sent off with a Red Card, so Excretia City is playing with only 10 men against 11, and with only 2 minutes left in the Match ADAM STANSFIELD puts it into the goal at 88 Minutes, and Excretia City gets a remarkable Draw against a much better Millwall team. Excretia City's streak continues as they have NOT LOST a match in a few weeks.

But A WARNING: Now Excretia Fans need guns, knives, swords, and also bodyguards because the Milwall Hooligans will be looking to kick ass and raise holy Hell tonight.

What is the question?

(Tongue in cheek, but true)

Clue: I can only think the shame of the events on Wednesday in Paris triggered this abomination

Can you imagine

what this place would turn to if England actually wins the World cup? The mere thought of it just gives me the creeps.

Tottenham 9 - Wigan 1

Following the defeat, Wigan's players are going to refund fans.
Is this the start of a new trend?
As a sidenote, can't believe Titus Pantus is still playing top-flight - he's shit.

L'Anglophonie

If your country gets knocked out of a tournament early--or isn't involved at all--do you pull for the people whose language you understand?

For example, if you're English and England is in group A, and the Australians are in group B, are you pulling for the Aussies to come out of group B, on account of cultural commonalities?

I ask because there's something instinctive in me, personally, that makes me do that sort of thing, and I was wondering if it was just me.

Do you want England to win the world cup?

I know quite a few people who are now in two minds, as they are embarassed at some of the players representing England and can't stand the thought of various odious twats in our team winning world cup medals. Have to admit, I'm one of them. What do others think?

This is a question for the Poms by the way, not the English-obsessed inferiority-ridden sheep-theives and drive-tarmacers, who I know would like nothing more than to see Blighty win next summer.

Thierry Henry: Part II

Sorry to go on and on and on.......... about this bloke............

.........................but the gall of the guy knows no bounds

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.......

Thierry Henry has admitted he considered ending his international career, and that he felt "let down" by the France Football Federation following his handball against Ireland which helped put the country through to the World Cup finals.

FFS.

BTW......"handball" is a sport and "hand ball" is the foul...........n'est-ce pas?

Exeter Ciy 3, Stockport County 1

Wow, Another win by the Excretians, but it is only over lousy Stockport County (The "Hatters"), one of the worst teams in League One. But "a win is a win", and the Excretians have moved up in the Standings ("Table" to you in the U.K.), and may yet play again next year in League One --- but look for the "Hatters" to be playing in League Two next year because THEY STINQUE.

The Crawford Report

In my opinion, the findings made a lot of sense.
Why not look to increase funding into the promotion of sports which the majority of people are likely to participate in? - eg Cricket, Footy, Soccer.
IOC puppet John Coates is clearly operating on the 'squeaky-wheel-gets-the-grease' theory.
