Was it handy with arsenal last season when he single handedly dragged them through the season similar to the way Suarez is doing with Liverpool this season.

Messi hasn't did it at international level yet. Are we to dismiss his achievements too?

Wouldn't agree that Messi has not had a great International career. He is young still. Has scored over 30 goals.

Suarez, unreal international career - 2010 world cup, 4th with Uruguay.

The Dutch, well, we know they are tempermental when it comes to international football.

Anyway, hard to agree anything when it comes to football, too many vested interests and sentiment.

Sad - was the best I ever seen at Pool that first few seasons , was the best in PL too at that time. Jesus, the goals he scored, week in week out. Top corner or side net.

Don't have those exact ones but do have a pair of Adidas golf shoes that would probably be a slightly older version of the above. They are probably one of the most comfortable golf shoes I've worn and a good fit. The only flaw I have with them is the 3 stripes and not joined to the actually shoe, they wrap around it, so they tend to pick up a fair bit of dirt, grass etc. Its a bit of nuisance when cleaning them

Do you mean for breakdancing or doing salsa, they are good - only joking - this is not golf here. It is the dancing forum.

But, had a pair of Adidas last, fell apart, could not believe it.

Have gone to Footjoy. Ok so far, but not as dry as expected around laces.

You can do an evil moonwalk in the footjoy.

Bought a pair recently, have worn them three times and found them the most comfortable shoe yet. Fantastic grip too.

The brunette bird off Tallafornia popped up (in more ways than one, boom!) as one of the models walking out with the Darts players there over Christmas on Sky. Making a few quid for herself in fairness tho you do feel like taking a cold shower after listening to any of them speak.

Bagels... Bagels are the root of all evil, they destroyed this country!
We were going around fine with our loaves of bread until the bagel arrived and sparked the celtic tiger into action, sending us of a sesame seed topped frenzy for a decade.
We all got caught up... mothers feeding their kids bagels with cream cheese and what not.
Paying a premium for something with half of it missing.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my bagels, I just hate what they did to this country.

I was given a bottle for Christmas(I assume its shop bought) and had a half one lastnight.

Ebay is fantastic for little bits a pieces like that.

The wing mirror fell off the passenger side of my car over the Christmas (just the glass mirror part). I was quoted €60-€80 in a garage to get it fixed "depending on the labour costs". Checked ebay and got a new mirror delivered from Bulgaria a week later for €12 including postage. The back of the glass is adhesive so it sticks straight into the mirror casing so I am not quite sure why they needed to estimate the labour times as it took all of 30 seconds!

charlieIRL · 12-01-2013 2:46am

if herself ever found out about the amount of various stuff i bought off ebay i'd never be able to give out about a shopping spree for the rest of my life!!!!

Might be a very old one, but its a good one. Was only linked to me the other day.

Jason McAteer talking about standing beside Roy Keane at the start of the Norway -Ireland World Cup game in 1994.
Hilarious stuff!

Its about 20 secs before McAteer starts talking.

PASS IT ON!

link_2007 · 21-01-2013 11:27am

Have heard that before Ricky, always raises a smile. I will forever love Jason McAteer just for the goal against Holland in Landsdowne Road. Probably my favourite ever sporting moment - the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up just typing about it.

Speaking of former footballers, was anyone listening to 5live yesterday evening? Stan Collymore was hosting the show and they were discussing if Frank Lampard deserves to be offered a new contract and one caller was saying of course he did and he was amazed he hadn't been offered one and then came out with, "Just look at his penalty from earlier today. He hit that like you used to hit Ulrika". Cue a few seconds of akward silence before moving on to the next caller.
