Ponty

Good God. Reading some of this thread it's like the last few months never happened! I remember: "If he's found guilty he should never play for the club again!" "I'll never support a criminal playing for my club!" "The club should make them stand on the pitch with a microphone and apologise!" "He's crap!" "There's no end product!" "He can't cross!" "He can't get past anyone!" "He always cuts on the inside!" "He's predictable!" "He's rubbish!" "He wanted to leave, let him rot in the reserves!" etc.... Now he's the best thing since sliced bread. Word to you all, he's shyte. He's not another Theo. The best thing all round is if David McGoaldrought follows him out the door. IMO

I've passed on your query to Steve, Davey. As for the lights, they're all placed to shine in the direction of the cars, never oncoming, so glare from the lights themselves will not be an issue. Glare from standing water may be, but there were a few puddles during FP1 earlier and none of the drivers complained. As for shadows, well the MotoGP riders in Dubai complained that their pursuing shadow gave the appearance of another bike attempting to overtake but F1 drivers sit so low in the car that they can't see the ground anyway so it's a bit of a non-issue.

First ever race on that circuit too. There's absolutely zero data for the teams, or Bridgestone for that matter, to draw on. Plus it's going to rain most probably. Should all be quite fun.

You should've over-egged him back.

Oh no, that's the stumps. Taxi!

Was it stuck up your arse?

I'll tell you what's wrong. It's wrong to place a comma in that title.

This one intrigues me. If it's a Banksy painted on top of some urban graffiti, suggesting it's 'art' then it's pretentious twaddle but if someone's drawn a c*ck on a Banksy then it's bloody hilarious.

Who Are Ya?

Blimey, Barfly is quite a similar name to Barfy now you mention it.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.... NO! It might have lost its charm somewhat over the years but it's still a belter.

It's gone downhill since we thought we were great. 2003 was a terrible year for us really. Suddenly we stopped looking over our shoulder every year and that's how relegation snuck up on us.

Speeding

The thing is; every other driver (save Heikki) believe the penalty was just and that there was an advantage gained by crossing the run-off area. Now either Hamilton is so hated that everyone else likes seeing him stuffed or there was a genuine advantage. You decide. Oh, and no one play the jealousy card please. That's akin to James Allen playing the racism card.

We're playing in a standard, run of the mill championship. That kind of talent would suffice!

That's the frustrating part; when the style IS there it appears to have some substance and gets results. We haven't lost against Rotherham because we played pretty football, we lost because we didn't play it.

We shouldn't complain really. At least we, and our children, know that zed is zee, that mobile is cellphone, that trunk is boot and that hood is bonnet. An American child would think you were Greek if you asked them to, "Get the zed-bed out of the boot of the car. Oh and could you pick my mobile up off the bonnet? Thanks". We have the best of both worlds. We use the language properly, yet understand the Americanisms. If we excluded our kids from hearing or learning any they'd be no wiser than our brethren across the pond.

Apart from the fact it looks massive in that pic you've chosen, reading the blurb it looks quite nice. I hope it's priced to compete though.

He deserves a chance with a better bunch of players but I fear he'll not get one if it all goes tits-up here. I'm still clinging to the hope that the lads will turn it on for him. They have the talent, they just need to step it up to 1st team level. As for Jan, I like his attitude, he's not all platitudes and excuses like some who've gone before him.

Some people find it hard to wean themselves off of the site, and the 'net in general. I've seen it quite a few times tbh. It's not usually about not liking the place, it's about knowing they should be spending their time elsewhere.

Try the buy and sell forum.

Easily done:rolleyes:

I don't think anyone has any idea what this weekend entails but it's safe to say that the strong teams will be strong and the weak teams will be weak, as usual. It's a 60% chance of rain and combine that with it being a floodlit and maiden race on a new circuit and there are too many variables to predict anything with any degree of certainty. It 'should' suit the car reasonably well but that's born out of hope as much as anything. Toro Rosso may get back to back wins for all I know!

Bloody hell, what station do you listen to?

I wonder why they say it? FTR I have asked for it all to be stopped before.
