I was wondering if you knew a site where I could download a life from?

 

Trust me, I've been looking. No luck.

You can order some Russian girl and try to build a life?

 

The shot putter type? PASS!

 

If i hadn't already repped a post, this one would get it!

 

It's the thought that counts, thanks.

 

On ITV on Sunday it showed Stoke and WHU in the 70's playing in a mudbath.

All aspects of football has moved on and not a bad thing but good to have memories.

I hope to be telling my kids about the players of today.

 

Wein14 and Agent Bruce just back in the office and had a look and thought Jesus I'm doing well only it's about effing music.

Cheers lads

 

Your welcome mate!

If RIP Bartons Tash has taught us nothing else, and he hasn't, it's that post count is all that matters. Doesn't matter about content, if your thread gets lots of reply's, you are popular!

 

I grew up supporting NY Cosmos in the States as a kid and almost all the players were foreign. The Cosmos were criticised for employing few Americans as there was a fear that the game in the States wouldn't develop properly or fill the niche market in between NFL, baseball and NBA.

Eventually the entire league went bankrupt.

I think that foreign players bring bags of skill and difference to the English game but developing home grown talent is paramount to the game remaining a success for the future.

 

OT did you see Cantona on football focus the other week about NY Cosmos.

Seems he would like to follow the Barca way bringing young talent through the ranks.

 

I saw that and am still shocked that they managed to get someone with the calibre of Cantona to join.

I'd love to see the Cosmos come back to life again

 

As far as I'm aware NY Cosmos are coming back at some point soon

edit; i'm much too ****ing slow.

 

Last I was aware; the Cosmos have to convince the MLS that there is space for another franchise in New York and if allowed then all the better.

 

You know the secret of success now barnaby, post music articles.

 

Ah, I didnt realise it wasnt already all agreed! They've got Pele & Cantona fighting their corner so should be in good sted. Pele will just scare them into saying yes by threatening to do more viagra adverts!

 

I spent ages writing a really thought out and measured response, then for some reason it didn't post...Probably for the best!

Good topic and an interesting one to talk about...I believe it comes down to the old 'club Vs country' debate...Would you sacrifice the short term success of your club for long term success of your country?

Most of my favourite players (like Wein) have been foreigners, look at 3 of the clubs biggest cult heros - Spanish, Argentinian and Ivorian! Having said that, I'm very proud to look at a team sheet and see that at one time we can easily play 8 Englishmen and not consider it a weakened side (Harper, Simpson, Taylor, Williamson, Barton, Nolan, Ameobi (citizen) and Best (birth)).

I think the main thing for me, isn't whether or not they're English. It's whether or not they buy into the Geordie mentality...Look Pavel Srnicek, Philipe Albert, Nobby Solano, Tino Asprilla - All adopted Geordies, all got Newcastle United under their skin and all keep coming back to watch us long since their playing days finished! Kevin Nolan is a scouser, but has often said he wants to be, in his own words a 'Geordie legend'!

So in summary, **** England and their team of overpaid primadona mercenary scum bags, as long as we're producing Geordies (adopted or otherwise) I'll be a very happy man!

 

Still in dark ages with that.

Love the Kinks, Queen, Dire Straits and a few more.

Kids download stuff for me.

 

And Cantona might scare them with a few Kung Fu kicks.

 

I can identify with 70's players when I played football in the 80's & 90's,a skinfull the night before a match,a ciggie at halftime,a skinfull postmatch,dodgey birds and bad hair.Now I play golf Jesus where did it all go wrong?

 

Funny you should mention those groups, I've just been making a CD with some of their numbers on.
