Gents, don’t let me throw your discussion off. I just thought that if I was going to “read over your shoulder” it was only polite to let you know I was there.
the toilets must have a minimum two puddles to walk through before reaching the urinal. All hot water taps in the sink section should be broken. The sink should contain at least one regulation damp bit of tissue rolled into a ball serving no apparent purpose whatsoever.
CM-95 semi final was my moment to forget. In 95 beating the aussies was our World Cup and then the all blacks ran over us via lomu. You do show the lack of grace and compulsive need for excuses that infects most kiwis sadly. To say the kiwis don’t care about world cups is disingenous at best and outright S*** at worst. The kiwis in the rugby forum almost cut their wrists when the lost to Australia. It’s becoming an excuse that it does not matter. You have not won since the eighties and your running out of excuses. Teams are remembered now when the win world cups in all sports. You cracked then as you have in every world cup since you won it. That comes down to the one-eyed pressure placed on your teams shoulders by the nation of New Zealand at large. I think you should place greater respect to sailing for which you are one of the greatest on earth. On top of that you have a major winner in Golf in Campbell who is a maori to boot. These are sports that you should give more respect to and not just piling pressure upon pressure onto your rugby team. If you do not win in France in the next world cup with this team you have now then you will be classed not as world champions but world class bottlers. Thw world will be watching you.
As for Woodward, it was more down to the players in paticular Johnson and the coaches than it was him that England won it. As for peaking at the right time...that’s the idea isn’t it?
Well I’m glad I didn’t disappoint you. Given you are used to it being an English sports lover !
First and foremost I am a cricket lover, then football (soccer) , and then rugby.
I didn’t say that we don’t care about the World Cup. And I’m not sure kiwis on a rugby forum are exactly representative of NZ. Obviously they are going to be rugby nuts, albeit to varying degrees.
1987, we won. 1991 Aussie were too good for us and were clearly the better team, 1995 we made the final where over half our team spent much of the game spewing their guts out with food poisoning, 1999 we threw away a semi-final lead against an amazing French team (we choked), and in 2003 our coach made serious mistakes in his approach and his tactics in that game. So I would say we only choked once (1999).
What you are trying to say is that all other games outside the World Cup don’t matter. They do. We don’t all ignore rugby until it’s World Cup time. THAT would be putting on too much pressure.
No respect to golf or sailing victories ?! Um, I would definitely disagree with that. They get blanket coverage. Certainly as much as they’d get here.
And how many World Cup footy tournaments will it until England wins again ? You’ve had nine already......!
How about putting pressure on Henman ??! That’s way worse than anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand. Poor guy.
This is a fantastic idea, adding the girl pics is a particular advancement to all lads minds. We need more...with slagging eachother to increase ten fold. Dump the scratchings and bring on the onion rings. By the way I drink Belgian Beer so get your big money out because it is not cheap.
London prices too I’ll bet.
Anyone got cash for the pokey machine ?

Also please note the regulation one-bog blocked, other one occupied, and under no circumstances should any liquid soap be put into the dispensers at any time.
Basically the toilets should make you want to back to the bar as quickly as possible.

Onion rings and Belgian Beer. Fookin’ poof. I can tell you’re a southerner. ;-)
I bet you want an umbrella in your beer as well.
All joking aside, I had a Hoegarden at weekend, that IS the worlds best summer drink.
One of things I miss most from home is a drop called Monteiths Summer Ale. It is god’s nectar. Full of spices and honey, it is amazing. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Hoegarden is nats p** my dear northern wuss....try a glass of (and you’ll like this) Busch which is about 12.5% hardly a wuss drink. Or maybe a Kwak which comes in about 8.5% or more popularly a Duvel which is around 8.5%. Its strong stuff but if you can afford it about as good as it gets. Have a look at their glasses too, they are fantastic. The bottles themselves are almost collectable. You do need to be able to handle your drink though.
CM - Excuses, excuses continue to fly....we don’t quite see sports in such a one eyed fashion as you Kiwi’s. I remember the commonwealth games in Auckland when the Kiwi Television directors where concentrating on their runner in lane six (coming about sixth) and totally ignoring the frontrunners. Its like your always in the shadow of your Australian cousins. We know we are generally crap at sport but still manage (with the exception of the press) to be quite realistic. Tennis, absolute garbage I will agree. Henman is a good pro but not top rank. The press and the henmania grannies come out once a year in hope but most of us have a laugh as he stumbles from one flop to another. As for football, well that is a truelly global sport unlike your nations obsession - rugby. So the likelyhood that we should win it is reduced. That does not excuse the inept performances of many england teams who where rich with talent but like your all-blacks could not live up to exspectations.
Like your observations on the soap by the way and the blocked bog....how about the broken lock in the bog?
And the money shot, so to speak (don’t worry it’s not pornographic)
And you wonder why I support City…
I bet her boyfirend must be a United fan, and told her to get that ink so when they get it on doggy style, he can have a turn at desecrating the City logo whenever he feels it necessary.
As for the name of the club, i don’t have a decent comeback for it. I already detest the fact that as an American, there are still things I hold sacred and overt American influence on a European tradition erks me to no end.
Englander, yes, we had a crappy season. . .but lets look at the big picture here my friend:
Manchester City
Premiership Titles: None
League Championships: Two
FA Cup Wins: Four
Manchester United
Premiership Titles: Eight
League Championships: Seven
FA Cup Winners: Ten times
Oh yeah, and don’t forget about the the great Treble season of 1999, how many Trebles does city have - oops! NONE.
You did forget the fact that City relegated you in the 70’s
Didn’t i read some story that did a study on winning teams colours?....something about teams in red being far more successful? Of course Chelski aaaand City will no doubt address that in the future.
She hasn’t got a boyfriend (I PM her occasionaly on another site), but can you imagine a girl with a City tattoo dating a United fan, not in this lifetime kiddo, not in this lifetime.
The Manchester Buttmunchers? The Manchester Floridians? YOU YANK SCUM ARE RUINING OUR NATIONAL SPORT. Only joking, Sir Malcolm will ruin ‘em. Which is hilarious.
As for the stats, yeah, what can I say? Apart from it wasn’t the proper treble, ask any UK footie fan and they’ll tell you why. I’ll lay money you don’t know why.
But as you’ve only been a fan since the mid 90’s I won’t remind you of our trouncings of you in the 70’s and 80’s (5-1), and us relegating you with a backheel. I won’t even remind you of how you profited out of the Munich Air Disaster, and then got sold down the river for a quick buck by Martin Edwards, which will come back and bite you on the arse.
I won’t remind you that Ferguson was 1 game away from being sacked, and I won’t remind you of all the FA investigations United have been involved in for ‘dodgy’ practices. I won’t remind you that you aren’t (by a long way), the biggest club in England, never mind the world.
But I will remind you that’s all history, and the real bragging rights starts in 17 days.
Lol at Englander. She is probably like Helen Chamberlain, more interested in footie than blokes....untill of couse the clubs striker asks her for a date.
Tell her the small of her back was a rather nice spot for her tattoo....more than nice, I would have to say that the pictures themselves look like they were taken in your house...am I wrong?
More manure names: inthered devils, pyramid scheme united, unitedindebt, Manchester payoffmyloans, gallaghers arsewipes, suckudry devils, manchester prawnmunchers, fleecethefans united, states of America United......and just before the kick off, expect tohear over the loudspeakers ....plaaaaay balll!

Agreed us yankee scum are ruining your national sport. Thus my hatred of Malcum Glaze Your Nuts. European football should be sacred and having Americans involved in any part except playing on the pitch is heresy to me. It pisses me off just as much since nobody gives a damn about it here, but all of a sudden we have some corporate pirate about to ruin my favorite team (much to the enjoyment of others on this board mind you) for nothing but a few pounds to put in his pocket.
Proper Treble? This undoubtedly would be because most “real” footie fans don’t include, or don’t give much credit for winning the FA, thus, it’s not a “real” Treble with the FA Championship instead of say something that carries a bit more weight - like any of the other European Championships that are up for grabs every year. Which, Man United have historically done very poorly in. That good enough for ya?
I’m counting the days Englander. . . .
Better get used to this chavs:
Oh yeah, and plenty of this come September 10th. . .
but please, go ahead and post some old black and white photos from your heyday, just to make yourself feel better man. Did they even have cameras back when City was beating United?
‘You don’t like getting bitch slapped, do you, you little ginger tosspot’
3-1
4-1
Exactly.
And my favourite -
Taxi for Neville. Feed the Goat.
You didn’t win the proper treble because you won the Champions League without being Champions, you won it as runners up in the Premiership.
So how can you win the Champions League if you aren’t actually a champion.
The FA Cup is held in high esteem by football fans, it’s our biggest domestic cup.
Its funny isn’t it England, but united ingender a certain deep seated hatred in all of us. Scum is too kind to them. I have a particular pleasure in certain moments, Overmars and Wiltord scoring at their manor to win two premiership titles. Cole, Parlour Lauren and particularly Keown giving the Ruud the horse a good slapping when he missed that penalty in the last minute at Old trafford meaning we went that season unbeaten.

I loved that, when Keown bounced up and down in front of him. Quality.
The thing is about United, that unlike, say, Spurs or Leeds, where you just hate the fans, with United you hate the whole fookin’ team. I mean, Roy Keane, what a disgusting little man, Gary Neville, up hill gardening shitehouse, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Alan Smith, Ronaldo, Phil Neville… they’re all c•nts, to the man. And it’s always been that way, George Best, Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, all despicable human beings.
I almost got into a fight after the 4-1 versus United, I was walking back to my car, and there’s 3 glum looking rags in front of me, anyhow a City bus goes past and all these young lads at the back start doing the ‘airplane’, the 3 rags got somewhat indignant and looked at me (I was wearing a City shirt), so I laughed, they offered me out, well actually they said ‘do you want your fucking face caved in’, so I laughed again, louder. At that point they realised I was being followed by approximately 300 City fans.
They changed their mind and scarpered.
PS - Ryan Giggs is alright, I met him once, nice lad.
LOL...I love it. They tend to prefer the term head kicked in down south...some how caved in seems to contain more menace.The Keown moment was a classic, I Know an Arsenal season ticket holder at Arsenal and he made about 10 minutes worth of slow motion video of that incident. He’s even got the picture of Keown jumping over the horse above his toilet. Every time when he’s doing a “jimmy”, he can have a good laugh and remember it. He does not bother using the word Manchester or Utd when he brings them up in conversation he just calls them the ‘C’ word.
They have so many hate figures in the team, Neville (purest of the pure scum), Ferdinand (Complete non role model more interested in drugs and speeding-no loyalty whatsoever!), Keane (foul mouth dirty scummer), Schmeichel (nazi) Ruud (horse and scum of the earth) Giggs (loudmouth Gypsy) Ronaldo (pussy-cried like one in the cup final anyway) Ferguson (one-eyed cheat).
Seeing them “win” that treble was one of the worst nights of my life. I watched it with four arsenal fans, one Liverpool and two (southern) Utd fans. Up to the 89th minute the two Utd fans were slagging off their team as playing absolute S***. Two minutes later they were jumping up and down shouting that they were the best team in the world. Luckily they targeted the Liverpool fan for most abuse...I just downed a beer and went to bed. Absolute nightmare.
Prior to his sending off.
He’s pure scum that fella, prior to the Derby at OT a few years back he was stood in the tunnel and Schmeichel (who was at that point playing for City) goes over to shake his hand, Neville at first didn’t realise who it was, then sussed it was Schmeichel, pulled his hand away and blanked him. Anyway to Schmeichels credit he laughed it off. What a petty twat Neville is.
And the rags ‘firm’ is laughable, the MIB’s, have you heard of them. Bunch of wankers.
Hooligans in this day and age, they need to get a grip.
Yes what a pratt...maybe he will get some mace spray in his face when he next visits anfield...not that i would condone such an action. I remember years back when United went to anfield and where gassed as they got off their coach. Atkinson had dumped his wife for a new woman I think and it had hit the papers. Charming plackards from Liverpool fans included “Ron Atkinsons sla* is a who**” not very nice. You could smell the hate from the Liverpool fans that day...It was pretty ugly and I was just watching it on telly!
Saw Peter Shilton come to Highbury years ago after being caught in the act with some woman in a car. He was chased down the road by the womans husband. That was the headline on the Saturday morning so it came as no suprise that he was greeted on the piitch with the chant “does your missis know your here?”
Sorry, I meant to say the Premiership, not the FA. A few of my friends said winning the Premiership isn’t that big a deal, and thus it was not a “true” treble.
But your point is well taken, I guess it doesn’t mean much if you do win - just ask Liverpool.
Anyways, you can go ahead and bash away if it makes you feel better, but it doesn’t bother me much. United are very similar to the Yankees here. Everyone hates them becasue they are always at the top, they always outspend their rivals, and most often get the best players to play there. It’s the same thing with United, but with the fanaticism in Europe, it’s a bit mroe intense.
Anyways, too bad SWP won’t be back scoring all those goals huh Englander?
Only United aren’t like the Yankees, they’ve won one trophy, the FA Cup (against - Millwall, snigger) in the last 2 years, they’ve done terribly in Europe and they can’t compete with Chelsea financially (no one can, not even Real), and they are $900 Million in debt, and owned by a ginger yank pedophile lookalike. It’s actually very funny.
Schafenfreude.
The Premiership is VERY hard to win, that’s the gauge of the best English team, by far. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
SWP was going to go, we got a decent price for him, and we had our best spell for 10 years when he was out injured. I am remaining philosophical about his sale, I’ll miss watching him play for us, he is exceptionally entertaining. But we’ve got a reasonable squad, so I am not distraught.
