Violent fans have nothing to do with sportsmanship of the players on the field, and being graceful in victory. As an aside, I think it's a stretch to use football fans when talking about cricket. They couldn't be more different.

Like I said before, I would show compassion towards Aussie cricketers that I actually like. Ponting is a stuck up twat, who thinks that because he's earned the right to wear the baggy green, that he is automatically superior to English Cricket. It's that kind of attitude shown by us that created the Ashes in the first place.

Freddy consoling Brett Lee in 2005, now that's what I'm talking about with compassion.

That's not just us, the Scots do that as well - Manchester 2009.

Well, from the cricket fans I know, most of them are football fans as well. Since one of my cricketing teammates just got sent down for assault and affray, I wouldn't put it past a cricket crowd to get rowdy in the presence of alcohol.

Anything intresting happening this week chaps? Well, I'll be packing soon as I'm off to Spain for two weeks with the Grandparents and my sister on Monday.

We've got ourselves a nice quiet villa with it's own pool and we're just going to be chilling and stuff. Not to mention all the fish soup and and other sea related things I'm going to be stuffing my face with.

AND OH BOY, DO WE NEED A FUCKING HOLIDAY.

Well, England have a chance to qualify for the Hooligan World Cup tonight. We just need to beat Croatia by three clear counts of GBH and we qualify as group winners.

Truly a sport where "Knock 'em dead!" is actually an instruction, and not just a feeling of goodwill.

Andy Murray haters can laugh as he crashed out of the US open last night. Ho Hum.

Lewis Hamilton hasn't given up hopes of defending his title - he can only drop another 4 points if he hopes to retain the title, but I think like every sing British F1 Champion before him, it will be a mammoth undertaking to win back to back titles. No Englishman or Brit has ever won 2 world titles in a row.

And I did when my mate informed me tonight :).

good evening gents! I'm happily back, although I wont be visiting Newgrounds as much as I previously was, I'll still pop in the club now and again to check in :)

Five oneeeeee, five oneeeeee.

Rooneys' goal was out of this world by the way.

Wow, Shreddy and EagleRock back within one 24 hour period. Welcome back. How's the USA tour going for Monkey?

Ah yes, we are the 8th nation to qualify for South Africa. I'll warn the thugs / hooligans that head out there for the 2010 World Cup Finals that carjacking is in fact a competitive sport in South Africa. Give it a go :)

Rooneys' goal was out of this world by the way.

What? That was probably on a par with the penalty. Croatian heads had gone down and the keeper practically passed it to Rooney, who had an open goal to shoot for. Credit where it's due, either of Gerrard's headers or even Lampard's for that matter were better than Rooney's goal and even the gorilla himself would be the first to admit that.

Not really into football, but as an American Gentle Manne, might we discuss the social infrastructure of our countries or some Gentleman's topic?

ahhh the USA tour really went down the pan
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1045 575/16

i asked for it to be shut down and I'll create a new fresh tour and run it in parralell with a UK tour

I figured it was just a jokey statement.
Or he's too much of a Man Utd fan :P.

I was dicking with you, even I would've scored from there.

Aye, even Heskey would've had a good chance in that situation.

Well, just talk about stuff and we'll see if we pick it up. We're always up for a good topical debate.

Well, that's a little harsh. At £3m, he'll be one of O'Neill's better buys for the Villa

I've listened to enough Alan Green on radio 5 to know the benefits of Heskey, and I don't necessarily disagree with his effect on the team.
But he really should be converting his chances more.
And I do think Defoe would be a better option.

But you're in two minds about Heskey in the England setup? I'd personally like to see young quick strikers partnering Rooney up front. Defoe, or even Agbonlahor, with Michael Owen on the bench, ready for a final 20 minute "super-sub" chance

Well Alan Green knows a lot more than I do, so I have faith that he knows what he's talking about when he says the team play better if Heskey is there doing what he does setting up Rooney, etc.

But I think that Defoe should definately start more. And I would prefer Crouch to Heskey too if a tall player is wanted.

I'd really like to see Milner come on more as well.

lads, ive sprained my damn ankle and it reeeeeealy fucking hurts :( permission to cry and whimper like a little girl

Eh, my back was practically in spasm about 3 weeks ago. That was bad. No idea what I did to it. :(

It's almost better now though. Not sure what to recommend for a sprained ankle though, aside from taking it easy. Been so long since I had one I cant think what I would do off the top of my head.

In other news, I am really hoping this bit of summer-ish weather lasts a day or two longer, got some last bits of gardening to do before winter start to take hold. Some I can do even if it is damp, but I would rather work in the dry... I'm not looking forward to doing the rose arch though, I'm going to be prickled to death! Hmm... Hay Coop? Think you have an hour after work free this week? *puppy dog eyes*

Yeah, but in his position, he's a glorified 'bloke down the pub' that gives us all his opinion. I tend to ignore it, as he's not a pro footballer, nor a manager :P

Well, he didn't help his cause too much until John Carew came on against Birmingham yesterday

ive got it all strapped up now, good old sympathy strapping :P (in the way that it gets girls to go, "aww what did you dooooooo :(" )

ahh well, was all for playing american football, fuck being a kicker haha

Jolly good day chaps, today i stubbed my toe on my elegant plaster wall. After tea and crumpets i checked my toe and it was swelling...

Hmm, maybe that's what I need to do - Bex was full of sympathy for my legs being almost completely solid due to lactic acid buildup. She gave me a massage and I may never walk properly again...

Ah, that's the Rugby for ballet dancers, isn't it?

Meaning no disrespect to ballet dancers, since one of their leaders passed away recently. Patrick Swayze. Damned shame, that.

Also, raise your oversized glasses to Keith Floyd, one of Britain's best loved alcoholic chefs, who also passed away today. He was incredible with his cooking - a slosh of this, a handful of that, a glass of wine and there we go.

i guess :P im posh enough for rugby, I just prefer American Football for some reason haha

Anytime I see English folk in their American Football gear I instantly hate them.
I've never watched the sport but I'm sure its fine and dandy, and I have no problem with it.
But it is essentially shitty rugby and if us Brits wanna smash into each other we should be playing that instead.

It's needless Americanisation. Like Proms in high school. We shouldn't have to steal other peoples culture.

It's also generally the same type of people who start playing AF too... big, arsey, cocks.

I will try to divert them to Ice Hockey - equally dangerous, very enjoyable and easier to follow, compared to the NFL

It's the way that Americans press their culture onto everyone, as they have borrowed so many aspects of other nation's cultures over the years. It comes from not having a definitive one of your own.
