Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[Duty281]

First topic message reminder :

Instead of a protest vote, then its better to spoil your ballot.

Ukip are dangerous because some people actually believe what they say, and they target the middle classes in areas of law multi culturalism - ( if thats a word). And as gets shown every now and then, the Councillors they put up have been shown as a bit racist. But its easy for them to make grand statements, because realistically they will not get voted in and have to back up the statements they have made.  

Have no fear, the nutters are getting kicked out at regular intervals.

And some people may believe what they say for, a lot of the time, it's common sense.

[Diggers]

They had Giggs, Scholes Butt a and Phil Neville in a room last night. My god, it was a totally charisma free zone, painful.
I blame Fergie as well.

[beninho]

Strange to think that out of all the Class of 92, Gary Neville comes across really well. And actually a decent bloke. When he was annoying as a player. Though i have nothing against Beckham either, again he seems a pretty decent guy.

[mystiroakey]

Gary is the new media darling that everyone respects.. His voice is still a bit on the dull side. But he knows what he is talking about.

Beckham is just a top bloke. But I did hear he was thinking about playing next year in the MLS franchise he just bought. Maybe its time to hang them boots up becks.

I would personally go for jonhy wilkinson as the no.1 UK sportsmen over the last 10 years(11years)And it's just come to an amazing end. He has achieved everything there is to achieve. Finishing up with the HC and the pro14 as well. I can't see past him tbh

I suppose it's all opinion, but I can't see many people agreeing with that.

Saw about 5 minutes of the Giggs programme last night, it was on mute, but I could see from his eyes that there is nothing going on behind them.
I wonder why it is that it seems Football as the least intelligent and articulate people in sport. Every sport has it's bores (Woods for example) but it is surprising just how abnormal and socially inept footballers (Hargreaves, Fletcher, Owen etc aside) actually are.

[beninho]

Because footballers all say they just want to play football. So from a very young age, they play football. They get signed up for big teams from 8/9/10 and ignore everything and just focus on football. An exception is Theo, but then he gets criticized for not having a football brain. But this is not a new thing, its been the same with footballers going back years.

[mystiroakey]

I think lampard, le saux and ox were all well educated.

Ox played rugby union to a really high level as well. And he showed that strength the other night. Shame he has a niggle. Fingers crossed he will be back on the bench against Uruguay

Every sportsman just want to play their sports, it's not like Vettel started driving after his A' Levels equivalents or Henman only picked up a racket after Uni. You don't think Wilkinson was as Rugby daft as Gerrard was football crazy?

Just seems strange that football produces so many complete morons who can barely string a sentence together, although it curiously seems worse in British football. THe Europeans seem far brighter and cultured.

[mystiroakey]

Ox didn't even play Football at senior school, only rugby and cricket. So yes there are allways exceptions to the rule.

[super_realist]

Oxlade Chamberlain is hardly in the bracket of top sportsmen of which we speak.

[Diggers]

Plenty of bright footballers around. I don't think the manc accent helps, really flat and boring.

news to me.

Very hard for a scouser/geordie/brummie/glaswegian to sound bright either.

Peter Crouch seems a good sport.

[beninho]

Does any accent help someone sound clever? Apart from a nice home counties accent, obviously.

He isn't a top sportsman in the bracket of which we were speaking. I had already admitted there were some bright footballers, though they are comparably rare. I didn't need every bright footballer I might have missed to be listed.

[mystiroakey]

I dont care what you need SR. lol . You seem touchy!

Scholes Butt must be even more charisma free than Scholes.

Probably tricky to tell them apart to be honest.

[super_realist]

I remember a commentator saying about Scholes

"Scholes is getting up rather gingerly"

Quite.

That jock Murray is pants........

[beninho]

On the plus side for Murray, Nadals knees will give in at some point. Then he will only have djokovic to beat really.

In light of all the yank bashing on this board I would like to thank our American friends on this board for the contribution of your nation 70 years ago, eventually making possible that we can actually post what we want.

Was also reading reader emails on the beeb website about what happened back then. Really moving.

I wonder what life would be like today if Germany had won WW2? They would definitely be the richest and most powerful country in Europe. They would have a strong economy and export quality products, we would probably all be driving German cars. They'd probably have one of the best football teams in the worl as well. Er... hang on a minute.

[mystiroakey]

We would never have rolled over. It would have been like Vietnam- and if they did it through eventual force- this country would be fiecked . we would have kept speaking english - we would have raged against the machine.. Never lied down..

[mystiroakey]

If anyone wants to see a great documentary about Columbia and the link between drugs and football back in the 90's called the two escobars check it out..

Saw it yesterday and it s a pretty amazing doc.

Even better, can you imagine how "outraged" Mac would be?

Cracking test match. England showing real depth in their squad, very promising for next year.

[mystiroakey]

I am fuming diggs . Fuming. I can't be objective yet

[Diggers]

I know, done dodgy reffing going on there. I hate the All Blacks.

[Shotrock]

[beninho]

Rugby isn't my game. Not a fan at all. When I do watch it I can never take to the way England play. I do like the all blacks though. And France. Not Wales. Really not the Welsh. I'd actually like England to beat them!

[Diggers]

The England style is changing Ben, far more attacking now. I like the All Blacks running game but they are dirty so and so's, always pushing offside and masters of the dark arts.
Lots of selection questions for next week, good ones though. Lawes back in the side is a must, he's a monster, but Parling was great today as well.

[beninho]

Seve the movie out soon. The legend continues...

[Diggers]

I don't get biopics. Firstly I never buy into the actor playing the part and secondly you always know the ending.

[beninho]

A top class horse running at full flight is a wonderful sight.

Sounded pretty good (didn't see it). Sounds like Nonu was lucky to avoid a yellow card but then who's to say England would have scored during that 10 mins?
Have to laugh re. Lancaster's appointment. The number of braying wallies that said he was a no mark and it would never work. Wonder where they are now? England won't win it next year (here's hoping though!) but things looking a lot better, especially the depth.

[mystiroakey]

Oh we can win it next year Navy- no doubts at all.

This team is right up there

[westisbest]

Very sad to hear the passing of Rick Mayall.

Was a big fan of Bottom.

He was very good in The New Statesman to.
Played a very good part in Blackadder.

Rip Rick.

Indeed Westy, between The Young Ones, Bottom & The New Statesman, as well as Blackadder he did an awful lot to keep me amused in my 20's. Sad but it comes to us all eventually :-(

[mystiroakey]

RIP.

[Bob_the_Job]

There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard.

Ha ha  

[Diggers]

Its funny when people like this die, somehow really resonates because they were part of your growing up and I guess it makes you feel mortal. I did like the New Statesman, very funny.

Some dodgy refereeing in the Brazil Croatia match... For some readon I think Brazil will see some very favourable refereeing throughout the tournament.

[super_realist]

Bored of the World Cup already.

Yeah last nights game was a fairly good case study as to why football is a complete waste of time.

[Diggers]

Spain v Holland tonite, as good a works cup group opener as you'll get.
I'm quite into it but then again I like football.

[westisbest]

Yeah am hoping this is a good game.

Tie of the first group games for me.
