Lille are storming off!!! WHAT A MENTAL DAY!!!!

Jesus, if we have to play these buggers again can we just give up the three points and all stay in bed?

FOR?!

Indeed. Keep the Faith mate!

PSV 1-0 Arse Manure get away with it after a 'push' on Vidic cancels out a Lille 'opener'. Come on Latics!

Damn

Beckett has two for Hudds. Should never have let him go!

Come on!

More along the lines of potential injury pile up than the result itself. Whatever happens, we'll KtF and as long as the lads give 100% until the last ball is kicked, I'll ask for nothing else!

----------Lomax------------Eddy ----------Haining-----------McDon----------Porter Pogs ----------Charlton----------Taylor----------Warne ----------Eardly-------------Lidds Its not ideal but this formation, for me, could do ok. Haining will need to be strong in the air, Gaz M will need to play deeper in the middle, and Lidds might have to get back a little more. But Taylor may cause problems thru the middle, and Lomax has the ability to overlap, with Eddy being able to drop in if they counter. Its not a first choice team, we know that. but we're not out of this yet! Come on Lads!

Have we gone something like this? ----------Lomax------------Eddy ----------Haining-----------McDon----------Porter Pogs ----------Charlton----------Taylor----------Warne ----------Eardly-------------Lidds

This has 'game that changes a season' written all over it. We need bodies in before weekend if we don't have these players back, along with Gregan and Charlton! COME ON LADS! Stand up and be counted! We need some big performances now!

Come on Latics!

Is he back up? Please!? jumping jehosaphat! United are getting Gased!!! And Crushed!!! Jesus! I hate um, but thats messed up!

3-0

That is the defence budget, that includes things like the Homeland Security initiative, the cost of the Star Wars Project, etc. etc. The figure I quoted, of some $300bn is the current cost of the War in Iraq, and this is in addition to that budget... as I understand it anyway. As Rummy says, I don't think the US had a hand in 9/11. But I'm certain they saw it as an opportunity more than a threat!

You've been spending too much time with BB80 ;)

Sure. UFO's? JFK? Britney's Hair? Take your pick

If it's web based why not just change it? Its a bit of a pain to change your sites over, but its the best way. I moved from Hotmail to Gmail and I don't get any atall anymore. Plus I keep my hotmail account for use on sites which I don't trust to not sell my address, and then forward the mail from there to my gmail account! Easy ;)

Sorry for the confusion. The stats collection was not a direct link to the terror attacks, more a question of the War on terror. Personally I think that 9/11 was a terror attack. But one which the USA knew could happen and one which the USA failed to deal with, at which point Bush and his advisers saw an opportunity to do something the US has wanted to do for some time, which was to get into the Middle East and develop a strategy for dominance (something which unfortunatly they have failed to do, at least with success the death toll is lower). The stats on the other hand, are just as you say, stats. They highlight the US commitment to this 'war' and how a frightening amounts of money is pouring out of the US economy, which it really can't afford. The NewsCorp stats are all subject to opinion. It can be argued that NewsCorp have started to back the Dem. so that they are seen as being more 'central' (The image of FOX as GWB's voice is no longer a viable commercial identity) however Personally I think it has a LOT more to do with the fact that the race for the 2008 Presidency is looking more and more like a Dem. win every day. When you look historically at how, in '94 Murdoch met with Tony Blair, 3 years before he became PM and 2 years before the Sun became a Labour 'paper again I think that assuming what I have is justifiable. Especially when you consider that, a couple of weeks ago (I don't have time to find the article to get the dates) Murdoch met with H. Clinton for meetings to discuss 'the future'. I've lost track of my main point, but I have to go. So I'll let you reply first then debate some more

Sweet Jesus Hardy! Don't encourage the boring sod!!

Bob, you've got yourself a date!

HAHAHA

What else can he say? It's not like he's made the rules up himself has he!?

better answer ;)
