Reo Coker and Harewood sum his time at Villa up a treat, the man talks too much for my liking, youd be better off with Hughton if you were to change manager.

Id sooner have Grant then ONeil as at least youll be crap while playing good football, he's being penalised for inheriting a team that was on the fall when he took over.

i don't think it's the scandal that many english people are making it out to be.

You mean you believe that voting was all above board and no corruption was involved. A good point you have there.

the awarding of a world cup is a massive incentive for russia to get its football racism house in order because it is of course simply unacceptable at present.

I take it you arent aware of the genocide of white farmers in SA, by black South Africans with many linked to the ANC?

Anyone who thinks 22 men kicking a ball around a park is going to affect opinions on racism issues is just being silly.

I think Russia should have won it if they had the best bid when theirs was actually rated the worst in Europe, as for Qatar well im glad theyve got it and i hope its played in winter to ruin European football seasons, as if it affects their bottom line then maybe European FA's will break away from FIFA tournaments and it'll be the end of FIFA.

Surely if he didnt represent them then someone else would, he is obviously very good at his job and doesnt have to scrounge off the taxpayer by poncing legal aid in order to make a living like most solicitors in the west have to.

What is your point OP?

But wasnt he there when Berbatov, Modric, Carrick, Bale, Dawson, Huddlestone, and Lennon arrived?

After seeing the TV replay many times its clear Agger makes contact with Berbatov's trailing leg which would have been enough to make someone running lose balance hence its a penalty ... Agger was at fault Berbatov done his job.

Said with the blind devotion of a true fan.

Im not from Surrey, and dont like visiting dreary Manchester, no red supporter here. But he 100% clipped his leg.

Id have thought when he took over there would have been a clause in his contract enabling any new buyer to pay him off on the cheap were they to get rid, it was an appointment by the administators was it not?

Hardly likely to put a 7.5 mil get out clause when in such a case.

How much is that per game or per week?

Its a little bit under how much i should earn a week if the world was a fairer place.

I thought a similar event was going to be taking place soon but without the English.

WC has been damaged so it'll be something to look forward to.

You can be both insane AND have political views.

Your confession has been noted.

I know about the addictiveness of valium... i consider my flagrant misuse of it these past two weeks to be entirely medicinal and completely necessary .... im looking forward to waking up tomorrow and not having this nightmare hanging over me...sleep wont be a problem tonight!

I was speaking to a drug counsellor who works at a local prison recently and she was telling me that the purple Xanax that is so easily purchased for 1-200bht apack over the counter in Thailand, is about 1-2% of the actual drug its supposed to be and the rest is absolute garbage put in to give you a hit as its knocked up in a backstreet somewhere in SEA, hence why they dont actually chill you out as actual valium does more it knocks you clean out and gives you a nasty drowsy on edge feeling the following day.

She also said its renowned for thinning the blood, hence if you are cut badly and it wont stop bleeding to tell whichever hospital youre at that youve been taking it as even in England Thai valium is known as being a menace.

So if youre going to take valium in Thailand get a prescription from a doctor and go to Boots so youve a better chance of getting what you think youre taking.

RIP Aussie guy its all part of living in Thailand i suppose.

But thanks to the American who claims Multiculturism has worked there you made me laugh please take your head out the sand, its pretty much the same in Canada aswell .... but to infer its just because Brits are full of anger as one obvious racist commented is laughable.

Beetlejuice has a point that we whiteys are more and more noticeable no matter where you go in Thailand, farang taking the wife of a Thai is going to cause resentment, im sure its happened 1000s of times before.

Silly tackle by Agger and Berbatov went down like a dying swan to ensure a penalty was given.

Sadly in modern Football, that's teh name of the Gmae these days & if Agger was mug enough to be enticed into making a challenege like that, then more fool him..

Not that i agree with it, but that's just how it is now..

Many calls for TV replays here after that decision.

Berba should have been booked. Gerrard should too, but yellow not red. Bad game for the ref.

It was a 2 footed tackle with both feet off the ground, when he was running at a decent pace and he kicks the opposing player and barely any if at all any of the ball... yep lets bring back 60s/70s and 80s football where talentless cnuts like Norman Hunter, Chopper Harris and Tommy Lawson who plebs like to call hardmen for kicking lumps and in some cases retiring talented young players in their 20s.

Please retort with some cliches of how its a contact sport, a mans game and modern day players are all soft ... bla bla bla.....

That Jim Beglins a <deleted> of a commentator, first the Liverpool player kicks Berbatov in the box and he is saying he dived, then Gerrard steams in with a 2 footed potentially leg breaking tackle on Carrick and he's protesting his innocence until its been shown 10 times when its quite clear it was as blatant a sending off as youre ever likely to see, a little impartiality wouldnt go a miss.

I would'nt be surprised if that had little or nothing to do with football. That said, ofcourse he should be nicked.

Stange one that, the fella didn't even do the off , just run around happy as larry

Even stranger that it was a Stevenage fan, they were throwing objects at the Newcastle players throughout though, horrid little place is Stevenage.

I believe they want somewhere with a swimming pool.

Can anyone recommend a newer hotel close to the centre of HuaHin, my parents are visiting there in February and are looking to spend upto 3000bht per night and will be staying for 1 week.

Cheers in advance.

Well I know it must be doing great when mother-in-law bought new 'Welcome' mats for her house. This old village road, once of shanty shacks now looks like millionaires row, I kid you not!

That might be why there arent as many smiles as before, theyre all up to their neck in debt paying for crap they can barely afford.

[Point is though Singhy, there is a time and a place to park the bus. Was this one of them? For me, no, and that's credit to the way City have been playing. They had been defending very well, but also attacking with some flair.

Man City play not very attractive defensive football but they have a couple of individuals who can score from nothing, ive never seen so many defensive midfielders in one squad theyre not good to watch imo, the play like most decent Italian teams but without the ease top Italian teams can control the pace of a game.

I think they might just win the league though if Manu start getting the results their performances deserve.

They finished 2nd in the league, FA Cup final, qualifying for Eurpope. You forgot signings of Speed, Shay Given and Salano!

Finished 2nd with the team Keegan left, FA Cup final route under him were the easiest in living memory ie all home games V lower league teams, but yes he bought 3 very good players there and Hamman, he did make some comment that he also reinstated the reserve team that Keegan had scrapped, the bad joke was he spent 40 million quid doing so ... but he left the team which was flying when he took over, in mid table and going backwards. Dalglish started the rot at Newcastle no matter what any scousers says.

kenny back as caretaker dev. i can't stop grinning. welcome back fun, optimism and enjoying watching the reds again.

His Newcastle side's were an absolute joy to watch, 12 Years ago, if my memory serves me right..

This is just shere desperation by you being desperate for him to recapture the glory days of his previous reign, which is NEVER gonna happen with this Squad, the rest of the League & the fact he's been out of the Game for over a decade..

& it's incredibly unfair on the Fella given the above, to even think he will..

He took the free flowing team that Keegan created and changed them into the most boring one dimensional team imaginable, when they went behind early on you new at best all you could possibly hope for was a 1-1 draw.

He also signed Ian f'en Rush who had been finished for years, an obese John Barnes who i remember seeing running on the pitch at Upton Park and it looked he was running on sinking sand, and his talentless son .. however he did manage to get Ginola, Ferdinand and Asprilla off the books, only a top manager could swap a past it Barnes, Rush and Dalglish jr for those 3 what a managerial genius.

Thing is he cant do much harm to them in the remaining games and only 3 weeks of the transfer window, possibly worth a punt to keep the few that turn up to Anfield these days happy.

On the Underground I get 50% discount due to old age On the Skytrain I do not. How are they going to deal with this?

Try running up the stairs....

Sooner or later somebody always comes along and makes a childish remark.

But why should people have to subsidise the elderly to travel, especially when theyre foreigners.

Another babyboomer suffering from entitlement syndrome.

Why are there no options for increased income/spending power?

Not everyone is a retiree waiting for a monthly pension from Farangland.

I know we are a f'en minted on here, the credit crunch only means my bevvy of perfectly formed and scantily clad 19year old Chulalongkorn University girls have got to burn my 500bht notes instead of 1000s to light my Cohibas.

IMHO the credit crunch is just about to get started theyve papered the cracks as long as they can.

I was lucky to have most of my savings in cash during the financial crisis. The exception being a mutual fund which dropped 20% but is now up 10% so no loss there (in fact a nice profit).

What about inflation?

As the credit crunch meant the pound dropped 40% it has undoubtedly affected the way i spend in LOS.

Surely even you multi millionaire investors on Thaivisa must be slightly more aware when spending.
