MISSING IN ACTION


" What I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody." Verbal Kint: The Usual Suspects   

Remember they accused us of disgraceful behaviour? Bollocks to that! I'll tell you what's disgraceful; diving, rolling around, getting a fellow pro sent off, Refs colluding and xenophobic reactionism.
What's more honest is standing up for each other and saying " you see what you get when you try and f*ck with us!"
These guys had the ability, skill and quality but also the balls to stand up for themselves when others tried to take liberties.
How many of the current lot can you say that about?

Is this what's missing?
We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be! When you side with a man, you stay with him! And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished! We're finished!
 All of us!”
Pike Bishop: The Wild Bunch
Keown and Van Nistelrooy

Strawberry Alice: Unforgiven

“You begin to understand that you've only got two thing left they can't sweat out of you or beat out of you. Your balls. And you better hang onto them”
Nate Scarboro: The Longest Yard

“Let’s Rock!”
Vasquez: Aliens
“You're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man?”
Tony D’Amoto: Any given Sunday

“All right, sweethearts, you're a team and there's nothin' to worry about. We come here, and we gonna conquer, and we gonna kick some, is that understood? That's what we gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some.”
Sgt Apone: Aliens

“I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with him.”
Al Capone: The Untouchables
MAKING A POINT ... Vieira raps Van Nistelrooy

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness.  "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
