Jesus and Marychain - Just like Honey

Had to play it after seeing it earlier.!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Its a great song...never get tired of listening to it! its on the soundtrack of Lost in Translation...right at the end scene.

So long as you dont start supporting Chelsea as you will only be accused of being a glory hunter!! You could try following a favourite players team but if he were to change teams, you should not. Choose a team and stick with it.

Alternatively do some research on the internet about the histories of different teams and you may find a team which you warm to.

Lastly...choose a team based on the colours of their football kit!

DJ Shadow - Organ Donor

I went to a club in Thong Lor and no problems getting in...the following week, asked for ID, showed British driving license but without my passport no way was i getting in. It was the same guy, i am sure he recognised me from the previous week too. I dont look my age (30) but i sure look over 20!

As a poster has already stated living here you do sort of get used to it but for a tourist, that is ridiculous!

Pop Will Eat Itself - 88 seconds and counting

Its an awesome game...I havent been playing it for a while since i am dating a lovley lady right now but in the days of being single this was my virtual gf!

Its so real when you play it...of course you can adjust all the players skills but where is the fun in that...Can be kinda tricky to get used to the controls especially learning some of the more skilfull and tricky moves but once you have mastered it, its a satisfying feeling pulling off a double stepover, 1-2 first time through ball and then rounding the keeper to roll the ball into an empty net!

Enjoy!

I would say United are in transition and not in decline. What they do need is a fresh manager though. I think Fergie has probably taken them as far as he can now and it would be a shame for him for his final few season to be a complete shambles.

Yes they are behind Chelsea as are Arsenal but with the cash power the Blues have is it any wonder. I have never really liked Man U but i hope they beat Chelsea, not solely for the resaon that i dont like Chelsea now but at leat a Man U victory would breathe a bit of life into the Premiership title race.

More to come...

Every team has to go through a rebuilding period when the current squad of players gets older, this is happening to Man U now and the player they have been bringing in as replacements have not been good enough or suited to the Premiership, Veron, Djemba-Djemba, Bellion just to name a few.

Even through this rebuiding period they are still a force to be reckoned with. I think Ferguson will probably not be around for too much longer although this does depend on what he can do with the team this season. I thought he should have stepped down after the treble winning season in 99 and i think he would like to go out on a high with some sort of trophy at least...maybe this will be the season. CL is looking more likely than the Premiership though with Chelsea looking to have it pretty much won already!

Go and watch some games with your friends. if they are into football they can explain the rules and the jobs of the players etc...

Its not always about goals either. When you play the game you appreciate the good build up play, the intelligent runs players make, the moments of sublime skill that you would miss in a blink of an eye, the last ditch tackle which saves a goal or the low diving save from the goalkeeper in the dying seconds of the game, these moments dont always lead to a goal but they are great to see...

I hope you enjoy football as much as i do!
