How do you feel right now?

[Manatee]

Oops sorry. 

Unless you're secretly part of the U.S. Congress that makes all the confusing laws, you're not to blame.   

[Iggy]

I feel good.

I am at home on Holiday.

We have just been to the vets who say the cat is going to be fine. With her collar off she has turned into a whirling dervish.

The sun is shining  and all is well.

And I no longer have to do tax forms because I'm apparently very boring according to the taxman.

Excellent news!  But the whirling dervish is worrying - prop open all the doors and tie your wife's hands behind her back!

[Manatee]

I feel somewhat less like the tree that was being chopped -- I finished my tax forms last night.  If I made any errors, I'll refer the government to Iggy as the expert.

True word.

Let's sent them positive vibes shall we?

Hmm... I guess the reds weren't doing so good?


I'm feeling tired...

Multiplied by 10. 

It was an awesome match though.

How close was that one goal needed with 7 mins to go. Hey ho there is always next year.

Somehow I'm guessing this isn't referring to the baseball team from Cincinnati.

Not even close.

Oh dear! Am i the only Arsenal fan? Come on you GOONERS!!!

What an extraordinary game !!!

A bit of technics to make Liverpool fans even more disappointed (if possible). I saw the third goal of Chelsea again and it's interesting to describe it.

First there is a huge foul from a Blues (Malouda ?), that badly tackles a Red (Lucas ?) by behind, that the referee doesn't call  Then Ballack intercepts the ball and makes a fantastic pass but a Red is late (Lucas again ?), preventing Drogba to be offside and a few seconds later the same Red lets Lampard go alone in the six-yards.

So three important mistakes (I could have also pointed a bad clearance of a Red on Ballack's interception but it came just after the referee's bad decision and the Blues were squeezing hard)  to give the Blues an overall three goals lead.

Just a few minutes after, Lucas scored a goal to partly redeem himself, though.

Oh dear! Am i the only Arsenal fan? Come on you GOONERS!!!

God, what a forum ! You find girls that like metal and/or soccer    Hey, Bella, since half the team and the coach are French, I like Arsenal too. If Porto beats MU (which I doubt), in a few weeks the Gunners could have their revenge of the loss against  Barcelona in the 2006 finals 

[Steve Jones]

It certainly gives one hope.  Presumably, somewhere out there girls can be found who even like me.  Presumably.  Statistically.  Somewhere...

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't you married to one (or does liking fly out the window after a certain number of years)?

God, what a forum ! You find girls that like metal and/or soccer   

Have I been cowed into silence on a misunderstanding?  Do people in Europe really call soccer soccer?

And for the record.  Yay for girls.  Especially ones who haven't done me deep psychological damage yet.

[Steve Jones]

An aversion to washing & ironing precludes further discourse

Do people in Europe really call soccer soccer?

Not that often, if truth be told.  Which begs the question, is France really in Europe?

[Manatee]

Fascinating.  Interestingly, it seems that, very generally speaking, the British government tends to approve of the U.S. government, while the actual U.K. citizens think we're a bunch of wankers.   On the other hand, the French government practically always treats us like a bunch of a**holes, but actual Frenchmen tend to be surprisingly friendly.  The only conclusion I can reach from this is you should all take up baseball, which is a proper sport.

I gather it's being seriously considered in Liverpool, after last night

Edit: no disrespect meant concerning the dreadful Hillsborough tradegy in which 96 Liverpool fans died
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7999279.stm

[funkster]

As today is 20 years since 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives at Hillsborough i am feeling both sad and angry that such a tragedy happened.

You'll never walk alone and we will never allow you to be forgotten

I remember vividly where I was when the dreadful events unfolded on the news, in much the same way they say folk do concerning JFK's shooting

Same with me. I can remember my mum saying the radio was reporting crowd trouble and all i could think of was "oh no , not Heysel again."

I was numb at the time and it was not until i watched the Football focus feature on saturday that the emotion hit and i spent 20 minutes just crying 

[Iggy]

Oh dear! Am i the only Arsenal fan? Come on you GOONERS!!!

I may be a Liverpool fan but hopefully Arsenal will win tonight.

On Hillsborough.

Fully 1/3 of the dead where teenagers.

Hopefully one day there will be justice for the 96.

Actually i think that the goal of Drogba is Reina's fault. No one should ever score from out of that angle. The horror.  
That goal of Alex (what's in a name  ) is a beauty if i may say so. What a goal!

Amen to that, Funkster.
