quote:

While we are taking poems as inspiration and not being worried about their political origins. This poem would sum up the siege mentality of Rafa's situation for me.

There's an inner thing in every man,
Do you know this thing my friend?
It has withstood the blows of a million years,
And will do so to the end.

It was born when time did not exist,
And it grew up out of life,
It cut down evil's strangling vines,
Like a slashing searing knife.

It lit fires when fires were not,
And burnt the mind of man,
Tempering leandened hearts to steel,
From the time that time began.

It wept by the waters of Babylon,
And when all men were a loss,
It screeched in writhing agony,
And it hung bleeding from the Cross.

It died in Rome by lion and sword,
And in defiant cruel array,
When the deathly word was 'Spartacus'
Along the Appian Way.

It marched with Wat the Tyler's poor,
And frightened lord and king,
And it was emblazoned in their deathly stare,
As e'er a living thing.

It smiled in holy innocence,
Before conquistadors of old,
So meek and tame and unaware,
Of the deathly power of gold.

It burst forth through pitiful Paris streets,
And stormed the old Bastille,
And marched upon the serpent's head,
And crushed it 'neath its heel.

It died in blood on Buffalo Plains,
And starved by moons of rain,
Its heart was buried at Wounded Knee,
But it will come to rise again.

It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.

It is found in every light of hope,
It knows no bounds nor space
It has risen in red and black and white,
It is there in every race.

It lies in the hearts of heroes dead,
It screams in tyrants' eyes,
It has reached the peak of mountains high,
It comes searing 'cross the skies.

It lights the dark of this prison cell,
It thunders forth its might,
It is 'the undauntable thought', my friend,
The thought that says 'I'm right!'

Does quoting bad lyrics count? This had me cringing.

I remember writing an email to that lovely zonal marking site about a year ago asking them to write an article about how one of the key aspects of Barcelona's tactics is the way they go down so easy whenever it looks like they're going to lose possession of the ball or the opposition are in a dangerous position. I reckon this tactic alone accounts for between 5-10% of their possession and stops god knows how many opportunities the opposition have to counter attack (which is vital against Barca). It would have been nice if zonal marking, with the resources they have available to them, could have done some in-depth research into this. Of course, I never heard back from them.

I get your point, but it's still funny when the guy is inescapable in my own country.

Plus, he's personally really popular in Asia (specifically China). The NBA also has a strong presence in countries like Australia, Brazil, and India, so it's not like he's soley an American phenomenon. The league are going to make a big push into Europe too, so we'll see how that works out.

Wait what?

Sport popularity in Australia goes:

AFL = NRL > Rugby = Cricket = Football > Netball = Basketball

The interest in basketball here is tiny to the point of it getting similar crowds to netball.

Is that interest in domestic basketball or NBA?

Maybe the article I read was blowing smoke.

Fine. I'm all wrong. No one watches basketball except Americans.

Who cares, it's soccer.

Soccer is played by many kids in the US only because it is CHEAP, not because it is their favorite sport.

You people are nuts.

Soccer is a joke and is incomprehensible.

Soccer will never be popular in the USA.

Even boring rear end baseball is better than soccer.

Womens basketball is better than soccer.

Elementary school dodge ball is better than soccer.

Soccer is the most popular sport in countries that either don't have other choices, are poverty stricken or both. All you need is some open space and a single ball. Think of the countries that don't fall under these categories and their favorite sports, USA - football, Japan - baseball, Canada - Hockey, Australia - Rugby. etc

Maybe he's trolling and I just don't get the joke.

Did you ever read the "soccer" threads in GBS?

What are the soccer threads usually about, though? I find it really weird that someone would search out a specific story about club soccer that would only be of interest to a subset of fans just to launch some general attack on the sport as a whole.

As for the language, I usually use slang words like shite, mate, la , 'me' in place of 'my' and so on....

Thats loving bullshit. If they appoint a vile pig like Rafa they are alienating a big portion of the fans. People pay to support a team they can get behind, i physically hate Rafa Benitez and will stop watching football if he becomes our manager. I will also do what i can to voice my displeasure at Randy.

Rafa Benitez is a gutter swine piece of poo poo gently caress. He better stay the gently caress away from Villa.

Can't people just accept Rafa is a devisive person, can you just accept many of us utterly hate him and that for the good of villa and the fans we should just not appoint a manager the divides all from the start. We need a man we will alll get behind even if we didn't rate them. Coyle or Martinez are managers we'd give a chance too. Rafa will only get all my hatred if he was manager. He is such a horrible human being, and we'd be made to appoint another ex Liverpool failure.

It's nothing to do with what he's won. I just physically hate the man like most people on this planet do. I couldn't stomach the vile swine as thehead of our club. We are better than that. I'm seething with rage now just at the thought of him. I need to avoid this thread for awhile.

I won't boo my team or anything. I just couldn't bear to even think of that man as our manager. I hate him with such a pssion that it would equal my love of villa. I'd have to avoid football until he was gone.

drat. Does he actually give a reason for thinking he's a horrible human being?

Even if I "was" a glory hunter I'd gladly do so for Inter, I just want the best for my team. Assperini has done nothing in his career to signal he is the predigree of coach we deserve, and he will remain Assperini until he can show me he is tactically brilliant, innovative, compromising and most of all, actually win something...anything...

I�m really proud to support Manchester United and Liverpool. They�re the two most successful teams in England and I�ve supported them for just under a year now. Liverpool have won the European Cup more than any other English team and United have won the league more than any other team, which is just amazing.

Now I know this might upset some people, but Manchester United are the better team. Don�t get me wrong, I still love Liverpool, but I know they�re not as good. It�s just a fact.
