very addictive though

Don't try it unless you have broadband!

I'm not sure it's worth the effort. The position for all the kicks is exactly the same, with the only variable being the wind direction. Therefore once you've sussed how to beat that variable and score you're going to get a 100% record from that point on

David Beckham obviously sussed all this years ago.

B

Absolutely

...and GreyDesk spent far too long doing other things as a youth - I'm currently 0 from 25 kicks

"The position for all the kicks is exactly the same"

Not on the one I was crap at.. er I mean the one I was playing

Maybe you'd prefer this one?

Yes that's much better, thanks

**hesitates before clicking on the link**

Is this going to screw up my modem as well?

B

I don't know quite what this says about me, but I'm beter at the paper-scrunching than the freekicks.

It says you're a centre-back, usually.

And anyone who's as tall as you bloody well ought to be. See Peter Crouch for reasons why.

B

I played centre-back in my only ever appearance for my school football team at the age of 11. We got beat 6-1, and the opposition striker lobed one in from the halfway line, and the PE teacher substituted me in the second half to stop me getting sent off.

Sounds familiar. I scored a cracker at school once. From dead on the halfway line it was, a big lob that cleared the goalkeeper and ricocheted in off the crossbar. Memorable or what?































We lost 3-0, but it was a cracking goal.

B

I used too play in inter-form all the time- I'd tend to start at the back and get pushed up front to foul the ball into the net for victories. I also once threw a cricket bat at the physics teacher when he was uumpiring interform cricket.

Ah, schooldays, jumpers for goalposts etcetera.

OK one more before I get sacked

That space penguin's great fun.

Oops, not allowed to see those.

2 games stick in my mind from schooldays,a game of rugby where the only grass visible was where they'd scraped away at least six inches of snow to reveal the edges of the pitch, teacher had pi$$ed off indoors so someone hoofed the ball as far as possible over the fence/road/next field and so did we.
The other was the first time we played footy, must have been about six years old and the teacher put me on the corner of the box and said "that's your position, you play there" so I did, for the whole game I never moved from the spot.

That's the same tactics Phil Bab used last season, no?

he got paid, I just got 'kin cold

"Phil Babb- he got paid"

Cor blimey, Sunderland really *were* irresponsible with the cash, weren't they?
