I think this about sums it all up.

The whole of Graceland by Paul Simon. Sub-"world music" naval gazing nonsense, the kind later "perfected" by Sting, mixed in with Simon's usual inane lyrics. Was he trying to be a rubbish Peter Gabriel or a terrible Randy Newman? Because he ends up as both.

^He fell out with everyone - Passarella, Bielsa, Bilardo. Our only coach he ever liked was Coco. What a waste for los albicelestes... <_< Would I be right in thinking that Redondo initially fell out with Passarella when he told him to cut his hair? ^That's what the (somewhat hysterical ) press said at the time but - bearing in mind most of our team was pretty heavy on the long, lank, and greasy persuasion - that woud be a bit rich... I think it was more a refusal of Redondo's to play in a certain position. Yes. I once saw Aloisi score twice in one of the worst games I've ever been to, a 1-4 home defeat to Coventry. Even now I sometimes wake up in sweats, screaming his name. Oh God the pain.

My pick is Fernando Redondo. I'm certain he'd be widely recognised as one of the masters of his generation had he not been so plagued by injury, and had he not fallen out with Argentina's then coach Daniel Passarella. Here's one of those wildly emotional YouTube compilation videos to illustrate my point.

Boring outfit. Silly VS.

Baby, your tale is as illuminating as it is heartbreaking. I applaud your candidness and hope you overcome this unenviable obstacle.

That would require VS knowing what they're doing. There is a clear lack of heterosexual males involved in the decision making process! Every year the show becomes more and more like a bachelorette party, complete with obnoxious whoopin' and pathetic runway clap alongs. I assume (but admittedly don't know for sure) that these 'devices' are a response to declining ratings. Understandable in its way but sad for me because I found the last two shows about as sexy as a trip to Luton.

Excellent write up. But typo in the title! Last I heard about Jari was a few years ago when Roy Hodgsen brought him to Fulham, back when they seemed doomed for relegation. I don't remember him ever getting on the pitch, the story doing the 'rounds was that he was very out of shape. I was trying to find on YouTube a goal he scored against Villa from his Liverpool days, where Peter Schmeichel threw the ball straight onto one of our defender's backs, only for it to then land right in the path of the goal hungry Finnish predator. I look forward to Ed's installment on Australia and Portsmouth legend, John Aloisi!

That would require VS knowing what they're doing.

Heya brother, yeah, needed a favour from the ol' gang (this thread). I sent you a PM when I left but never heard back. Peace and love, peace and love. That one might have slipped through the cracks... I sometimes get an obscene amount of messages, but most of 'em are mod-related. Yeah, I figured something like that happened. Next time I WILL USE BIG LETTERS IN THE SUBJECT HEADING. Hoho.

Aye.

Everything about this is terrible.

Horrible, horrible, horrible news. To lose one so young for whatever reason is profoundly sad. At times like these, fashion means absolutely nothing.

So, who was the mastermind behind the fake Twitter profile? Don't be shy.

I think Michael and or the Baron should get this.

The Girl Next Door.

She'd almost be quite attractive in the 'real world' but her attempts at being some kind of glamour goddess are laughable. Blow torching her face in magazine shoots and dressing her up as a hooker aren't going to help, either.

She just gets worse and worse.

"What Angelina did was very uncool"! Aniston's a funny one, the older she's gotten (and obviously the more work she's had done to herself) the more magazines have tried to make her look like a "handsome" woman. In ten years she'll be the new Glenn Close, except without the career. Her two most recent GQ covers are absolutely hilarious, also.

Obviously these days Nicole Kidman tends to look at least a bit like Ronald McDonald but in this picture, holy smoke. Someone please cut Annie Leibowitz's hands off and feed them to rabid timberwolves.

Well the September issue was pretty bad, but is it LeBron/Gisele bad? Jennifer Aniston bad? Gwyneth bad? Hmm, probably. Still, all of those are better than the pre-op transsexuals they put on the cover this month. Imagine getting paid for putting this together.

Sof Shavua B'Tel Aviv Maybe not must-see but its good and contemporary.

No. Was that fight even televised in the U.S.? Not that I care. Outside of the Klitschko brothers, I don't care for the Heavyweights that much. Yeah, SO WHAT?! He beat Valuev, WOW!!! So, maybe now he'll have the balls to face one of the Klitschko brothers? http://www.newkerala.com/nkfullnews-1-148544.html Oh, so he's AFRAID!!! LITTLE BRITISH SISSY BOY!!! <_< Haha, the obnoxious big lettering, how predictable. Please don't give me a wedgie after recess, you big meanie. I don't even care about Haye, I just wanted to see you get bent out of shape about it. BIG LETTERS GRR WAR OF INDEPENDENCE USA USA lololol Seriously. do you think I would get bent out of shape over HAYE?! Dude, I ain't really into the heavyweights. The only good fighters in that division are the Klitschko brothers, and they are not gonna fight each other. The Haye-Valuev fight wanted even televised in the U.S., so I doubt many people in the boxing world cared. If they did, they would have fought at some ridiculous time over there so the American public could watch it at a reasonable time. Hatton talked a good game, but couldn't back it up when it came to the best. Same with Prince Naseem Hamed. Let's see how Haye does when he face either Klitschko. Haye is fighting John Ruiz next, no need to try to get me bent out of shape should Haye win that. I had the opportunity to watch the fight and didn't, so I don't disagree with you on that point at all. Not sure why you're bringing up Hatton, but anyway, for the last time, anyone that knows anything about anything knew Hatton couldn't possible deliver on a grander stage. Of course he was going to big himself up, this is the game, he wanted to get paid, anyone would do it. And of course the British tabloids would hype him to the max, what a surprise! As for Naseem Hamed, last I heard he got really fat and got a driving ban (?) Maybe he left the scene of a road side crash or something? I don't know but whatever it was, it was pretty bad as I recall.
