  1. But what club? What has me thinking it might have been Benfica is because of the huge Portuguese community in Massachusetts in the early 1900's. Also, there was a flood of Scottish immigrants around that time, hence my Celtic guess...
  2. The upcoming Villa tour to the USA has got me wondering what was the first European football club to play a match in the States.... I'm going to take a guess and say it was either Benfica or Celtic....eh, I'll say Benfica.
  3. Alba is luscious, isn't she? Very sensual, and feminine.
  4. I've had Latinadating.com, same outfit, prolly...
  5. Who would you pick to get down and dirty with?
  6. O'Neill paid lip service to not being "held to ransom", but when push came to shove, he showered shit players with gobs of Lerner's money. Lambert's come out and told potential signees to "not be greedy", and I don't think he'll contradict that position...and I say fine by me. This should be a slow build, done with measured moves and patience. Lambert seems to have the disposition to see the club progress for the long haul, unlike O'Neill, who wanted instant glory. If the club can identify quality players who are willing to accept a lesser wage, at least for a while, I think we're off and running.
  7. Spanish goalkeepers seem to do very well for themselves- have you seen Iker Casillas' wife? :shock:
  8. Squabbling graspers. But they make the Marley estate look like the board of Enron They don't come much greedier than the Bob Marley estate

    Not sure the Spanish are the best people to comment on racist gestures Remember this? or this? http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/29/euro-2012-uefa-racism-fine It's interesting how the English speaking world is hyper-sensitive to issues of racism compared to places like Spain, or Mexico, or Peru, where racism against blacks is so acceptable, they have Sambo-like cartoons that still run.

    FWIW, LondonLax is spot on with his interpretation of my question. It does seem like a matter best handled by the FA (even if they are notorious bunglers) rather than the government. Here in the States, we've recently had the ongoing farce of Congressional hearings into steroid use in baseball....with all that's wrong in the USA, juiced up ballplayers rank very low on the list. Talk about a waste of time...

    Forgive my ignorance of British law, but why is this a criminal case? It would seem to me that the best option would be to let the FA sort it out... to bring the government into it seems heavy handed and a waste of time.
  12. They are a bizarrely dysfunctional lot...
  13. How many Cockneys exaggerate their accent do you think? Surely Russell Brand does?
  14. Cultures that don't understand/appreciate self-deprecating humor.
  15. How many Cockneys exaggerate their accent do you think?
  16. The "Hangover" movies....not even remotely funny.
  17. Hmm...I suppose you could teach us that we didn't win the war...after all, you would be the ruler of the world. We'd have to pretend you were right! In fairness, we would have lost the war without the French chipping in at the end. But most war historians agree that the colonists indeed won the war, with the decisive battle being this one
  18. Black diamonds and pearls...
  19. I worked with a girl named Fanny....wouldn't you know, she had an STD...
  20. A cold bottle of Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer. I know, it's blasphemous, but it actually tastes like a decent German lager... For anyone thinking of taking a break from alcohol, Clausthaler is a great fake beer to get you through those cravings...
