If we accept that Cliff Richard is good then 'Millennium prayer' is very very bad. I mean, he just sings the lord's prayer and it reached No.1 (in the UK and we hate god over here).

Just Paul.

You guys are joyless sometimes.

I would argue that everything Paul has done post Beatles very poor indeed, same with Bowie and Ziggy

I included a Christmas track and was told off... Should we all be avoiding Christmas tracks with this thread?

The Pogues - Fairy tale of NY Most people love this song, but it really is not up to anything they did in the 1980's and after that, there was far too much alcohol and drugs involved. It's got to be in the context of Worst Mixtape Ever, so "on a relative scale" stuff doesn't work. (Says t...

The Yanks give far more money to charity than any other nation (they have more I think?), so I don't have a real issue with it. I sometimes wonder if all these things go viral on a global scale or not... Did North America have the 'neck nominate' thingy and the no makeup charity thingy? It took inte...

Justin Hunter is no way a top 20 guy, unless you play in an AFC South only league, and then it would be touch and go. I really like Kendall Wright though.

The stupid thing is that none of this would be necessary if officials over the last few years had actually enforced the rules as they're written in the NFL rulebook. You CANNOT make contact with receivers after they've advanced more than 5 yards from the LOS and before the ball arrives. Period. But...

Johnny Football flips off the R---kins bench. Yep, he's going to fit in very well in Ohio. I have just watched an NFL.com video with an ex player/presenter saying that what Manziel did was much worse than Jimmy Graham's double dunk and then called out the commish to give Manziel a bigger fine (Grah...

I'm still trying to pick a club to follow. Considering my life's sports choices have been pretty much awful, I'm thinking of pulling a Costanza, picking against my gut and going Man U. Go with QPR, they are shite, have no chance of winning anything, play at a ground that cannot be redeveloped and t...

Pele has transcended GOAT. Kind of like Muhammad Ali. Means more to people for who they have become than what they did on the field. In my opinion, Pele is nothing like Ali. I think most boxing fans would say there have been far better boxers, but Ali transcended his talent in the ring and became m...

These boys in the Welsh shirts are playing really well, but Howard has been the standout player. The turning point in this game was the Belgians bringing on Mirallas. One thing I do think is that the USA are a bloody hard working team that are very well organised. There must be a number of coaches w...

Dutch football fans when they play Germany chant 'Give us back our bikes'

Tom 1860

Quickest way to get forward and support the paratroopers (many of whom also carried fold up bikes).

The Germans had confiscated bikes across Europe, because they were such an effective mode of transportation... Quick & quiet

My 7 year old son told me this morning that having visited 'The Royal Bath and West show' yesterday, he was no longer going to eat pigs. He had seen lots of different types of piglets, which made cute squeaking noises and had then discussed his concerns (how they were slaughtered) with his grandmoth...

No thanks...

But the 13th for the 31st and swapping Argentina and Germany will be open until the draft is over.

Tom 1860

Regarding offers, I suppose the same applies with regard to a trade...

If you pick Germany with the 4th pick, I'll exchange it for Argentina and we'll swap other picks, I'll get your 13th and you'll get my 31st

Anyone else interested in moving up to #3? Like the Eli Manning trade about a decade back... Just select who I like (Germany) and I'll see what is available when your next pick comes around. If I like what is there (at 14th overall), I will swap Argentina, my 23rd and 26th picks for Germany and you...

soon, I'm asking a neutral party to randomize the draft order. We have 2 weeks to draft 32 teams, I don't think time will be a factor. OK, at Degen's request, I pulled the names out of a hat. Please don't be mad at me if you got a bad slot. You know it is completely random and honest, because if I ...

I think Tom's point system is the best. It weighs the knockout stage a bit more then a simple 3-1-0 system. I will give the 3rd place 4 points and 4th place 0. Third place games haven't been that bad the last 3 editions and it may give us a bit of interest. Last 3rd place games have been: (Turkey/K...

ok so snake draft and points what should be the points allocation? Should semifinals and finals be weighted more? 32s: 0 16s: ? 8s: ? 4th: ? 3rd: ? 2nd: ? 1st: ?

Spain, France, England, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are the only team every to have won it... Belgium and Holland are better bets than England or France, but the winner will come from these 10. There are teams outside these 10 who could make the semi-final and will make it to the q...
