The england team is one of 5 teams that can win the cup we have good players in all positions (except hargreaves and Jenas but enough of that). If Gary Neville signed for Rovers this week id be over the moon. Being a gobby ###### aside he is the most consistantly good right back in the Premiership and possibly in the world. Lucas is a good right back but hes had 2 good seasons out of what? 5?

I havent, although mass organised rape, torture and deliberate genocide is not really something that can be thrown at the british empire in the last 300 years. Gross negligence leading directly or indirectly to millions of deaths, yes. A systematic program to remove whole peoples from the planet by working them to death or gassing them, no. Although the Concentration camp is a British invention although designed to keep a populous out of the hands of insurgents and not to deliberately kill them. Although kill them we did. Again something to remember and not to forget. Also a number Germans and David Irvine, are trying very hard to pretend the excesses of the Nazis were confined to a small portion of the population and everyone else just went along due to fear. That is patent rubbish. The majority of Germans were quite happy to go along with the Nazis and their behaviour in eastern europe is something that couldnt have been carried out by a few hardliners. Forgiven yes, forgotten no. Ask most germans why the Nazis came into power, and its due to the Versaille treaty. The fact that they started the first world war by implementing the Schliefen Plan is convienently overlooked. Id recommend that people have a look at Max "I love the Wermacht" Hastings' rather excellent book Armagedon. Which gives an idea of what went on on the Russian front of teh 2nd World War and the attrocities carried out by both sides. Hes fairly even handed, pointing out that the main internal resistence to Hitler only really started when it was obvious that the Germans were starting to lose.

Crouch is world class!!!! Can anyone name a better right back than Gary Neville? (Man U hating specs aside)

The coverage of wales, scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland is just as hyped up. I watch the footage and listen to Radio 5. Still could be worse. could be ITV or UKG2

The Nazis are something they should not be allowed to forget, or try and fob off as ony a small group that had no real support. The same way as the behaviour of Stalin and the communists in Russia, the conduct of the Japanese and other types of mass genocide should not be forgotton because it happened 60 years ago. A couple of hundred years, yes but 60?? no Systematic rape, torture, murder, genocide, slavery and the total disregard of human life should never be forgiven. The same as some of the Allied bombing of the German cities should not just be dismissed as "one of those things that happens in war" Some of it is justifiable. the raids on some cities in 1945 was not, and instead was due to people justifying their fiefdoms and also an act of revenge. If they'd have concentrated on oil facilities the war would have been over a lot quicker. Still history is rubbish isnt it and not worth knowing

arent the czechs 2nd in the world rankings? But yeah they're my tip other than Argentina. Although Spain and Portugal have got to get it right in one tournament surely

Question - just to cheer you all up - can anyone remember the last time England won a game soley shown on ITV? I cant

reminds me of watching footer in the away section at St James' park

but we'll lose those so you wont want to watch tehm anyway

you can get something called motherboard monitor which will work out what temps you're at and what you should be at

or watch it streamed through the BBC website

hard drive problems im guessing. Doomed your doomed (better make sure your porn's been transferred to an external hard drive)

its ring of fire, and Presty if you get locked up for something dont expect any sympathy

Because its the first sign of a sick computer. Also, im guessing youve reinstalled CM Id say you're overheating or your hard drives failing. Its what happened to me with BF2

1) Youre overheating - get some monitorering software to see what temperature your stuff is at 2) dust your machine - a vacuum or Compressed air is the best. DONT JUST BLOW ON IT 3) Defrag and Checkdisk, also make sure you ahve more than 25% space on your hard drive 4) What happened with mine - keeping crashing, going back to desktop etc was my hard drive was failing - so make sure your porn is backed up somewhere safe 4) Im guessing you have virus and spyware tested your machine

its quite hard to miss your posts mr smith. So we dont play attractive attacking football now we have savage?

I think Crouch will do better in internationals because defenders arent allowed to do what premiership defenders are allowed to do

nope - its fine for me try reinstalling the patch and then the game if neccessary

or alan shearer, LeSaux, Schmeical (although him and wrighty in the box could be amusing) As for the penalty, the Hungarian looked like he went in studs up two footed tackle, and that in the rules is intent and therefore a foul, if he had connected it could have been a leg breaker so just because hes inept enough to miss doesnt mean its not punishable. On a side note, hopefully Owen ###### Hargreave's rather inept display (again) will prove the Sven that once and for all he is not the answer, although the blackmail photos he must have says otherwise. Carragher did fine, if not a little dull, but its not his job to hit 50 yard wonder balls, its his job to kick someone get the ball and pass it to someone who can hit the pass. Id like Carrick to be given a go if possible on Saturday

Jan your the most one dimensional poster ever, Cicuado every so often mentioned something other than MGP

12 or 14? I agree Phil there aint nothing quite like a decent pint of mild, and i quite like that southern fizzy pop too

yeah but hes only 12, he still holds a grudge against that Amanda Billingsworth who stole his crayons off him in primary school. Jansen was finished the moment he hit that taxi - with him in the team instead of Dickov we would have been relegated. Or do you not think Hughes is a good enough manager to see wether a player has got it or not?

Ive got AOL 2meg - and I play Battlefield2 so the connection and ping is not bad at all. As for Downloading it varies between 100-300kbps

his goal against Bolton was a classic though. Dickov was a good player, who worked his socks of for the team and had a little skill that kept us up. Waggy, if you had your way we'd have no characters in our squad and no one with any balls to get into the face of the opposition and disrupt them. You need irritating little ###### like Dickov and Savage to ensure you dont end up like arsenal, a simple push over when you come agaisnt a team willing to rough it up a bit

i dont think theyve had one yet
