England V Poland

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

my thought on seeing the group table was "how the hell did we drop 4 points" to be honest.

love this:
The Guardian wrote:SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES HIM ...

Poor Sven-Groan Eriksson has a tough life in England - what with his
GBP4m-a-year salary, a World Cup qualifying group simpler than Paris
Hilton, the pick of the FA's secretar ... [Snip! - Fiver Lawyers] etc
and so on. And what does he get in return? Occasional media criticism
for losing to the likes of Norn Ireland One-Nil and Australia. It
sounds like he's onto a good thing to us, but in his homeland they
are furious with the attacks on Sven - and today their top tabloid
Expressen fought back by demanding: "Don't touch our Svennis!"

"They do not understand that he has turned a bunch of bone-breakers on
muddy football pitches into a World Cup team," spluttered reporter
Tommy Schonstedt, who seems to labour under the impression that Sven
doubles up as the Old Trafford groundsman too. "They cannot see that
he has introduced tactical subtleties into the game and taught
Beckham and co winning Swedish strategies." That'll be the same
Swedish winning strategies that have brought the country no World
Cups or European Championships, then.

With Sven holding the same 'national treasure' status that the Swedes
award pickled herring, the Volvo and Benny from Abba, it's perhaps
little surprise that Schonstedt's started demonstrating outside the
British Embassy in Stockholm, demanding to speak to the ambassador.
"They really have gone too far now," he blasted (well, he's a tabloid
journalist, that's what they do). "We have had enough now. This means
war. The English should be bowing deeply and thanking Sven. Instead
they bully and mock him. But after yesterday we say: 'Put that in
your pipe and smoke it!'" Meanwhile the Fiver would quite like to try
what Mr Schonstedt's been smoking - if he has anything left, of
course.

Shame Beckham will be back in the side, really. I think we looked a hell of a lot better without him.
Logic dictates there is no place for such emotionalism in a Decepticon commander. Nor is there room for incompetence.

What kind of a newspaper is The Guardian? "Oh hey, lets make up our own stories".
Wow.

The best one in the world.

What kind of newspaper is the Expressen?

The tone of the article is humerous but i have little doubt that the source material (i.e Tommy Schonstedt's article) is real.

oh, and watch the Predabot style outbursts.

Wow.
It's not a story. It's editorial comment on a story printed in another paper.
Grrr. Argh.
