Zaz

I've now got even more reason to get behind Red Bull with Vettel there (was at Monza when he won it). Coulthard just couldn't cut it last year. Let's hope they don't get screwed over by the car again, as they're both great drivers.

I want Durden Please.

Zaz is my mom

So now that you've come out of me, may I... oh, nevermind.

I can see the resemblance.

Tottenham:

- Robbie Keane. He is no longer a cog!

- Aaron Lennon

- Michael Dawson

- Tom Huddlestone

- Jermaine Jen... ahaha, no. Jamie O'Hara

Manly Sea Eagles:

- Brett Stewart

- Steve Matai

- Glenn Stewart

- Matt Ballin

- Josh Perry

Aussie cricket team:

- Michael Clarke

- Mitchell Johnson

- Andrew Symonds (get your shit together, son)

- Michael Hussey

- Phil Hughes

It's interesting that there are four votes nominating Michael Graves albums as the best Misfit productions, and only two for him as the better vocalist.

Edit: That's not sarcasm, it's actually interesting.

I have no idea who did which album, but I voted Danzig (he was the only one I really know, and I've heard some of his other stuff) and Famous Monsters (only album that appeared on my iTunes, the others are from 'Box Set 3', 'Collection II', 'Cuts from the Crypt' and 'Famous Monsters' =/).

Are we going to start quoting random lyrics again? That's how I heard of the Misfits to begin with >_>

07/08 Spurs squad doesn't get a run? =/

If y'all interested, Vector is trying to get a BATracer Formula One game going here. We need as many as we can get, it's only us two right now >_>

So much for a lack of depth at Spurs.

This is why good 'ol America is such a shit country tbf.

Yeah, that was what I was afraid this would turn into. *sigh* Have a warning, Zaz.

At least I don't live in America.

I did the BBC Predictor thingy just now and had United winning the title by 14 points, City getting 7th place on goal difference ahead of West Ham and West Brom, Middlesbrough and Newcastle getting relegated. Stoke and Portsmouth only escaped by one point and both had inferior GD to Newcastle in 18th. Arsenal beat Villa to 4th by 1 point despite both winning on the final day and Spurs made it up to 11th.

I ended up having Man Utd dominate and win it on 94 points with Chelski 2nd on 79, Pool and Villa tied on 73 with Pool ahead on GD, Arsenal 5th on 72 and then Everton, West Ham, Tottenham, Man City, Fulham, Sunderland, Wigan, Bolton, Hull, Blackburn, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough, with Stoke, Newcastle and West Brom getting relegated.

I had Tottenham on a 5-4-1 run to get to 8th, so it is possible, just a very hard task.

I'm up for it.

Kicking ass in my public (academy) F1 game (after 9 races I'm on 66 points, 2nd is on 53, 3rd on 36), but finding it a lot harder in my V8 one (last =/, though my teammate's third last as we have a shit car) and my A1 game (21 out of 25).

Only league games, Hamstuh.

Hope Bentley gets sold in the summer. One flukey goal is all the good he has done this year. Literally.

On the contrary, I hope O'Hara and Dawson stay forever. Only two who show character.

Losing 9-1 probably has more to do with you being a rubbish manager than the team (is it early on in the game, was Man City your first team and did you pick a low experience level? That could also have something to do with it).

Bah, I thought Kool Tools only cost $6. Turns out that's just for one block of advertising and it actually costs $30 =/

Oh well, better be worth it :@

Yeah, no probs. I'll be getting Kool Tools in the next day or two so I should still hopefully be interested in a few weeks, as I wouldn't want to waste my money

I'll be returning to BMW Sauber. Very nearly won the Title last season, this time it could be mine.

Oh, I thought you meant the public game >_>

Who as?

As for the 5 tackles thing, I see it as a massively tactical part of the sport. If your under pressure then your forced to get better field position and then you kick it away, if your too deep then they start with much better field position and are more likely to score, should they kick the ball then there more likely to score or keep you deep. So your forced to attack well and defend well to keep the field position balance better.

It's the same in Union though, the only difference is, tactically, you're not forced to kick it after four tackles. Which, by the way, is one the things you hate most about Union... the kicking.

Generally, kicking in Union at International level happens in one of three circumstances:

- You've got no better attacking options

- You're in the shit defensively

- You're playing in white.

You probably don't hate Union. You hate the way England play. In which case, I agree completely, Wilkinson-era England are awful to watch, and to play against (even when Johnny himself isn't playing). But that code doesn't cause that style of play - you could do the same in League.

Sorry for double post but I didn't realise this thread had turned into a Union/League debate. Both sports have their annoying aspects, such as the constant charging in Rugby League (you have 6 tackles before turnover, so why do they always just piss away the first 3 by charging straight into the defence) and constant kicking in Rugby Union. For me, I can watch either code but ideally I'd like to see some middle ground (although it'd obviously never happen).

Because if you just went wide on every play you'd make no ground. The whole point is for your forward pack to get the defence moving backwards with good runs and quick play-the-balls, which will open up the backline. If you try to make something happen every tackle you'd get smashed.

Even though it's not the most boring, Rugby League infuriates me. I was raised on Union and League seems like a training game with all the colour and variation taken out of it with no kicking and just two lines of people running into each other British Bulldog-style.

I agree with the League/Union point too. I grew up on Union and played it for a club a little. League just seems to have had all the nuances and subtlties that make Union a better game, taken out of it and replaced with each team getting six attempts to get from one end of the pitch to the other while everyone runs into eachother rather than trying to pass AROUND eachother.

League vs. union video I found

Anyone up for another private league?

What's with the 9 point goals? From more than 50 metres out?

How many team mate beatings, druggos and women bashings will the AFL cover up this year?

Gonna go out on a limb and say your a fan of rugby... sorry bout that.

what do you mean cover up? The AFL hasn't covered up any team beatings that was public news as soon as it happened, they have a three strike policy for drug users, Ben Cousins if that is who you are referring to was never convicted of drug charges and never tested positive whilst playing and women bashings.. gonna guess your referring to Jeff Farmer who well i don't consider him a human being and Wayne Carey who hasn't been football relevant for sometime now.

Just because footy is better than rugby

What was it, a four match ban for punching and then kicking whilst on the ground? If that had happened in league, they would have been banned for most of the season.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, have a lookie through some of this thread here. The rape incident on the first page in particular. I'm not saying the NRL is picture perfect, but when a player does infringe they deal with them harshly instead of trying to protect their players, see Greg Bird and Todd Carney recently, two of the star players in the league but both having their contracts torn up. John Hopoate received 15 or so weeks for an elbow to the head in an attempted shoulder charge in 2005, which was at least part of the play and not deliberately knocking them out and kicking them.
