I know right. It’s both fascinating and gross.
I don’t know about gross because it’s prolly just food coloring, but it does make me wonder “Why?”. Just because you can doesn’t mean that you have to.

@UnidentifiedFiendishThingy It’s not squid ink. Well, it is but only in the ketchup and garlic sauce. The bun and cheese are done with bamboo charcoal. Have to admit to being kinda curious about the taste.
@Necko Still not cured! Nearly everybody is now! See my post at top of page 467. You can do it, brother!

@trcanberra I haven’t been anywhere! (Looks down to check.) No, barely moved off the sofa in days apart to scavenge the fridge for food and alcohol!
Oh! Manchester United! Hardly a great start though. The start was all those games they didn’t win, maybe the beginning of a recovery, but it was QPR. Let’s wait to see how they do against the big boys.

4 – 0 against an atrocious, hapless, clueless opponent.
A midfield and attack giving much reason to be more optimistic, a defence giving much reason to be concerned.
Where does Ronaldo fit in the current Man U side? Who are you going to leave out? You cant fit all the players in as it is. Or is the plan to scrap defending all together and have a 0-4-3-3 formation? It would certainly be novel.

Offline That’s not real football. You actually have to use your feet to kick the ball. C’mon, who wants to be rational. Here in America, we like to be abstract and call a game that uses our hands football. That’s the American way
I still think our version is better

Offline You occasionally kick the ball in America football. Problem is that as soon as you do the game is stopped for 5 minutes so everyone can have a chat about it. Trouble you also stop and have a 5 minute chat after someone throws the ball, catches it, touches it, looks at it, breathes on it or just makes a move in its general direction.
In play lasts about 20 minutes, match about 20 hours.

Offline But it builds the suspense!! Play lasts for 1 hour and games usually go for 4 hours. There’s nothing like sitting outside in the cold on a November night for 4 hours watching armor-clad people smash into each other while trying to move an old pig’s bladder into an end zone.

*wave* to Mr Nasty
I’ll take a 4-0 win against anyone as opposed to losing 4-0 to a team from the nether regions any day. I like that 0-4-3-3 formation, but Shaw / Rojo / Jones / Rafa will do me in defence shielded by Blind. We still need a couple of reinforcements in that area – will see if they come from the youth team or January transfers.
On Ronaldo – I look forward to the hispanic scrap for the number 7 shirt.

Offline Rafa is your classic Brazillian right-back – great going forward, dodgy at the back with the added danger of nearly getting sent off every game he appears in. Its certainly a better line-up than a back three of Smalling/Evans/Blackett (of which Blackett is the better one!!). Any Man U defence without Smalling anywhere near it is an improvement, I’d rather take a spare goalpost and stick it in the ground 5 yards from the goal. How he gets a game for England is too sore on my brain to solve. The solace is Arsenal will come in next season and bid £12m for him – well they did pay £16m for Welbeck!!
You could easily see the step-up in quality that Blind and Rojo give. Gave de Gea such a surprise that he decided to come out and gift a goal himself, sadly QPR were so crap the attacker got to ball to move like it was a 30 tonne piece of granite. Incidentally who was the last decent defender Man U bought before both arrived in the transfer market? They must have known Rio and Vidic were nearing the exit 18 months to two years before they eventually did. Incidentally it was nice of Rio to demonstrate before all the Man U fans how passed it he now is.

Very true. If you have ever been to an American football game in person, you would be surprised about how much standing around there is. After each play, the offense and defense huddle together to set themselves up for either the attack or the defending of the attack depending on which side of the scrimmage line you are on.
To be fair, your brand of football (what we call soccer) also includes massive amounts of time where absolutley nothing happens while your offense or defense set themselves up. I know they are either preparing for attack or defense just like our American footballers. The only difference to me is your folks are moving around while doing nothing and ours are standing around while doing nothing. The real key to enjoyment of either game is understanding the strategy. For the longest time, soccer was incredibly boring to me because nothing ever happened. Now that I have a basic understanding of what is taking place (nowhere near the level you folks understand it), I have a better appreciation for the game. American football is incredibly exciting to me because I fully understand the strategy on both sides of the line and look to see which side executes the best. Man, I love sports!!
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline Joe has explained it to the mods once. It isn’t that people reported bad posts or anything like that. It is just his superman view of how the system lets him view posts (er, something like that. I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to his lesson that day. However, I do have the email saved if ever do need to go back and review).

No, it just means there are 908 messages left on the forum that I haven’t looked at. The terminology isn’t particularly helpful – they don’t require removal. There’s no postbag either, but I do have a quick view thing to let me open unread messages quickly.
