THREE BEAUTIFUL TORRES GOALS TO NIL

It's obvious that he meant best team in European cup competition mate, not the best team across every league in Europe. Stick to the real points instead of acting the goat you grass chomper.

Good use of 'goat' too.

Fredo, there are things which play a part, but league tables have ALWAYS been recognised by basically everyone, as the most accurate measure for seeing who's better than who, who is the best, who is the worst and who is somewhere in between.

Your argument that it's not, is akin to suggesting the ball isnt round. Seriously mate, it's THAT insane.

No it's not. Read my post again. It isn't the 'only' way to assess who's the best. It certainly shows the 'most consistent' team on a whole season.

Straw Man.

Honestly Syd, you are insanely argumentative sometimes. It's an internet football forum, not a court of law.

I know mate. But seriously, 'the league isnt the most accurate way of measuring how good a team is' - honestly, it's up there with 'the earth is flat'... You know i'm right about that, even if you wont admit it

I'll leave fredo to his mad-cap ideas, i'm not even slightly qualified enough to help him with his 'issues'.

Carry on fredo...the league means nothing, the earth isnt round, the ball is triangular and you speaketh sense

[BFG]

Good use of 'goat' too.

Thanks. It's pretty much my favourite animal.

I've got a feeling that this Chelsea side could disintegrate if anyone goes a couple of goals up on them. It's rumoured that Drogba is going in the summer, Lampard and Terry are clearly not happy, and there are all sorts of rumours of discontent amongst the squad. I think they are playing on anger at the moment, and could go to bits if they stop winning.

Just need an early goal tonight to test that theory. Come on Fernando lad!

See how deluded you are, by your own assessment ? Where did I say all of that ???

[Rich]

I just think Fredo looks through a pair of spectacles just that little more rose-tinted than most

What the **** are all you retards talking about, "laws of average"???? I'd hate to be the one to break it to you, but there's no such thing as laws of average. If I toss a coin 10 times and it comes up heads each time. then if I toss it again, the probability of gettin a heads is 1/2, same as every other time. The fact that we won the last times only boosts our chances of winning tonight, by giving us more confidence, and putting doubts in the chavs heads. Next time maybe you should do some research before posting a load of **** based on some made up mathematical hypothesis.

Very good post.

An early goal would really get their nerves jangling and test their character.

As good as the players might be, any team that doesnt have complete faith in its manager is vulnerable IMO. They're not an example of unity and mentally, i think we can rattle them.

Whether you are right or wrong Syd, it's your condescending and patronising tone/attitude that gets peoples backs up.

Can't you just have a debate with Fredo without calling him deluded etc?

It's not unrealistic to suggest that when two closely matched sides play each other a few times, you wont get the same outcome every time.

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr BFG, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr BFG with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.
