I'm not an NI fan but what a result. I'm extremely proud of our wee country. Fantastic.

U iz jus a gay. We iz only a bunch of STRAIGHT!!!!! lads wiv bitches havin a laff after a long week in t office earnin our own money. Get a life lol.

I tend to agree with you in part Theno. Treacherous words from a treacherous citizen. Really, what the f*** is he on about? "Until we feel security, you will be our target. Until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people, we will not stop this fight. "We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation.'' He added: "Our words are dead until we give them life with our blood.''... Extremist, murderous gibberish. What have people on the public transport system in London to do with the apparent 'victimisation' of Muslims all over the world? @#/?s.

He's been at the bucky again.

None I would imagine. Those economically depressed, poverty-stricken Asians are such a bunch of ungrateful beggars. Anyway, at least we know who's responsible.

Absolutely brilliant stuff, especially from our friend in Cheshire. I just got in from work (gained by having one of those posh 'degree' things) and I'm thrilled to see how this has veered off into the most hilarious of threads. To summarise: -If you wear expensive labels rather than sportswear, you're not a chav. -If you can write in literate English then you're sad and a geek. -If you've been to Uni then you're gay and/or a geek. -If you've been to Uni then there are in jokes, shared on a periodic basis (seemingly passed on at induction). Sort of like the Masons. (I presume-Chesh?) -Having a girlfriend raises you above the level of all single people on many a social level (especially if the point is mentioned over and over). Oh and it also disqualifies you from being a chav. -Chesh would be envious of a £6 per hour wage. MB gold without a shadow of a doubt.

You just described a chav with a job.

"Hey dere are a bunch of saddos on da rovers site givin us stik cuz we waz avin a laff at da villa game. u betta defend our onor dey is ? our style 2!!!!! saddos!!!" You'd better f*** off then. You've made your point. Prat.

Are you still whittering on about your naff threads? Get over it.

To clarify.

Since when have baggy jeans been effeminate? In fact tight trousers are more associated with women and homosexuals. Don't let that ruin you little fantasy though.

That's some leap of faith Theno. Nothing ticks me off more when I'm at games than having some drunken yob in the vicinity trying to stir up trouble. Whether it be inappropriate chanting, fighting or just raucous and insulting behaviour, the true fans who (strangely enough) want to watch the game have the occasion ruined by these fckuing chavs. Surely it's the responsibility of the stewards to controls these trogladites and ensure everyone else 'enjoys' the game-probably having spent a fortune getting there in the process. What's even more ludicrous is that morons (like our newest member here) see absolutely nothing wrong with their behaviour, even going so far as to blame trouble on the home supporters. "Me, I works 9-5, MOn-fRI on more cheese than you suckas an If I wanna spend 70 notes on gettin drunk and startin somink I f***in well will-aaiieee" What a shower of pr*cks.

Twice.

Hardly a case of missing the boat-he should never have been allowed to leave in the first place. We haven't a cutting edge of any description since he was moved on. Ridiculous.

What d'ya know? We wasted our chances once more. Our toothless attack (personified by the risible Kuqi) will cost us dear this year. The club's continuing failure to bring in quality recruits (Bellamy aside) is extremely worrying and indicative of the ambitions of the current squad. I knew Baros would score. We always concede debut/first goals.

I don't have a good feeling about this. We always concede goals to debutants, this Saturday will be no different. 2-0 Villa.

Aye great. Then we would have had to pay off his fat contract.

Good result, stunning goals. It's just a pity that our fanbase can't rouse itself beyond 16,000 for the season's first home encounter.

I was exiled in France this week, but was able to pick up the highlights through a Sky box out there. Listening on 5 live and watching the subsequent footage, it is clear we fell apart-plain and simple. A loss against an average championship side like West Ham is totally unacceptable, especially when we were in control and gifted them the victory. As said previously, we need more signings. It's as simple as that. West Ham picked up Benayoun for example; one of the best players in La Liga last season. Bolton have just signed Nakata; an unfulfilled talent maybe, but a creative influence nonetheless. We looked stale, short on ideas and our inability to create a proper amount of chances for our forwards is an extremely worrying state of affairs.

@#/?s like that haven't the balls to do something so terrible, which is why they encourage young men and women to do it instead.

Sword of Artemis. The puzzles are difficult but not impossible, they don't hold up the gameplay.

I honestly don't see United winning it this year. Chelsea and Arsenal are the two best teams in the league, although Arsenal's failure to strengthen even before Vieira left will be their downfall. 1. Chelsea 2. Arsenal 3. Liverpool 4. Manchester United 5. Middlesbrough 6. Spurs 7. Blackburn 8. Aston Villa 9. Birmingham 10. Everton 11. Newcastle 12. Charlton 13. Fulham 14. Manchester City 15. Bolton 16. West Ham 17. Portsmouth 18. Sunderland 19. West Brom 20. Wigan

I'm writing this on the iMac running on a high version of OS 9 in my room. There is an iMac downstairs that I also access this site with and my brother also has an iMac in his room, running on OS X. I've accessed the site from the PCs in university and in work but I very much prefer Mac products. I'm not a computer expert but I find that Mac technology, while very user-friendly, is also quite fragile. The instances of freezing and crashing in all my years using Macs is very high. Too many demands on the system often results in the thing simply failing to function. The small number of Apple users means that it is very difficult to get these computers fixed. PCs on the other hand (and in particular Windows) are no where near as polished as the Mac output IMO, but are far more reliable and robust.

Sword of Athens or Artemis?

I've just upgraded the Blades of Chaos to level 4. Holy sh*t!
