By the looks of the poll Lofty...no one is your friend

Shut up chicken. Another intelligent and lengthy post by T4E

Now that Lofty's not ###### off this isn't nearly so funny...I think some punishment should be thrown at him just to spice things up

I think the big brotheresque idea is a good one...we could make it a weekly thing

By the looks of things he doesn't have any...couple devoted followers though...bit like Jesus

You're trying to chat him up again now aren't you Lofty

youll pick it up as you go along...........same as ste b does on clayton street Best chippy in 'Arrod.. Never heard it called that before...

Now Lofty...I've been here from the start but you've yet to mention me!

This is starting to sound a bit like the American Constitution. Sidenote: You did it to me again Ste when you deleted the poll...and I was just thinking that you had listened to my suggestion and that Lofty's campaign was really starting to have an affect and was improving the standing of the common board member.

...they do actually run the site

You could always just lend them some of the extra glue from your work...could make things a bit more interesting later on

Now now...isn't some of this a bit against the rules mods?

Abbey...I'm rather confused now...

He must be typing something long...it's been a while since he's said anything. Edit: I take that back, and good on you Lofty for fighting the common man's war

I can understand why he can catch your eye. From what you've just said he sounds like he must have a nice body, and he also knows men in high places, good choice.

Everybody who knows me is well aware i've grown too much matey Are you hitting on him now?

Does the messageboard gold still run? If so I think this is a candidate for inclusion.

Lofty, I know from experience that you don't want to get on the bad side of the mods, I suggest you back down from this one, pick your battles.

Perhaps we should turn this into a poll?

I suppose you meant power there and not poor.

Just to tell you Lofty, my post that didnt appear did include the line "handbags down boys"...I think I now have the chance to use it again.

Wish someone would agree with me! In the end it looks like I've created a thread where people are starting to support Rover6! Dear God...

You boys sure are quick to delete topics tonight. I'm not complaining, it's actually quite impressive. Though I did waste a bit of time just now adding my two cents to a topic that was deleted before my post actually appeared. I'm sure there are a couple of you out there who would wish that happened more often though.

I think if I were a neutral I'd pick England and feel quite confident. Being an England supporter on the other hand, they've always slipped up just when things have started to look good (at least during my lifetime). This is the strongest England team for a while though, so hopefully they'll live up to expectations and move on to the semis. So I'll go for England.

I was saying "best" as a reference to the teams who would be considered the best in world football, rather than those who were winning matches at the tournament at the moment. I know this doesnt really please anyone, having said this, I'm not exactly sure why Denmark and Sweden are considered to have done so much better as the results the 3 teams had are exactly the same. Basically my point was, it is a shame that Italy have not progressed, as I would have loved to see them in the latter stages of the tournament playing the sort of football they are capable of. However, as they failed to do this in the group stage, the fact that they have not gone through is totally justified. I would simply have preferred to see matches between teams like England/Italy/Portugal/France/etc... than the likes of Denmark and Sweden. It's the same reason we like playing Manchester United and Arsenal, and it's the same reason why it always feels better to beat likes of United and Arsenal than it does to beat teams like Spurs or Portsmouth.
