interesting half-time score

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -
So, wait, MOB, you like BOTH West Ham AND the Cinncinati Bengals?!

I don't know about West Ham but this appeared on the Iraqi Info Minister fansite:

yeah, just come back from the pub watching it. to be fair we were pretty lucky to get a draw, a scabby first goal and an offside second.

Indeed. I never understood how none of the american sports have it.
Neither do I. I've been a proponent of introducing it to certain American sports for a while now...KH FOR OWNER!

what are your leagues' governing bodies, how are they appointed, by whom, etc.?
It varies from sport to sport. I honestly don't know the details of each...KH FOR OWNER!

I always thought that this was the reason. Here, in the old world (
), the governing bodies seem to be more the sort of a non-profit NGO type of body, while in the US, they seem to be this cartel of directors of teams, or their other name, (which screams "I am a capitalist pigdog, murderer of people", etc. ) "FRANCHISE". like it some sort of a burger shop, or a starbucks, or something.
Moving teams from city to city? almost unheard of.
It's weird, really wierd, for a guy unused to this.Comment

I would agree with this assessment. I don't really think that relegation would work for pro sports in America at the moment, partially for this reason. I think relegation would work well for college sports, however, which are run by a body (NCAA) similar to Old World style governing bodies.KH FOR OWNER!

Wow you guys, thanks for the support!
I'm not too enamoured by our form this year either, but I'm not sure it's entirely his fault as we did have a decent season last year considering the portents of doom - I guess those just got delayed a season...Originally posted by Sten Sture
With Roeder at the helm? Not too impressed with him I have to say.
But it is a bit difficult keeping the team's confidence up when everyone and his dog is saying the manager is sh*t including our bastard supporters. I'm also wondering if Di Canio hasn't destabilised the team - because it's only since we sidelined him that we've put a decent run of form together.
We HAVE TO WIN this saturday! Plain and simple, and also hope that Bolton drop a point more than us along the line. Birmingham is another must win and one of the teams that we could also catch is Fulham now that the wind has been knocked from their sails because of that slimebag Al-Fayed aiming to sell his stake.I still think you will stay up, but you sure are leaving it late. I wouldn't rule out Birmingham City or even Leeds at this point, but I have to say: whassup with just three wins at Upton Park??
The 3 wins at Upton Park is because our fans are worse than playing away at the moment - a large section of them are a vile hate filled mob of thugs...
The reason why we're in this predicament is the total collapse of our previous 'Fortress Upton Park' form because of damage to players morale - if anything I think our away form this year is actually better than last year!!!
I am actually glad we're playing Bolton away as the pressure of playing that game at home would be unbearable for the team at this crucial stage, sad as I am to say it...
We have a 'team' of individuals that have only just woken up to the concept that actually playing as a team might get us through this. Part of the reason we're in this fix is because the players themselves no doubt thought that week in and week out until they suddenly realised that they really were staring relegation in the face! Even now we have to rely on the teams around us to slip up to stay up...You have way too much quality for that kind of result.
Yeah, they'd be well and truly rooted at the bottom of the American Football equivalent of the GM Vauxhall Conference by now!Now the Bengels. Wow are you glad we don't do relgations over here!
At least they had an expansion team to spare their blushes!
Careful you don't annoy me - I might decide to support your team(s)So, wait, MOB, you like BOTH West Ham AND the Cinncinati Bengals?!
You must have done something bad in a past life .
