Antrim / Re: ANTRIM HURLING
April 09, 2009, 10:47:37 AM
It doesn't say much for the Antrim management if they take on board a fella who has been kicked off the football panel for disciplinary reasons.  What does it say for the ship that the great Sambo and Woody run?

Ronaldo is a great player, but I would have Kaka, Ribery or Messi in the team before him any day.  More influence on a game.  Ronaldo simply loses the ball too often, doesn't attempt to track back and is constantly moaning when fairly tackled.  Rooney has replaced him as United most important player.  If Madrid were to offer United £70 million then United should take it.  

As for richest club, I think there are other factors that come into play.  Was it not only a few years ago that Madrid were in serious debt and the Spanish government controverially bought land of them>

QuoteI've said before that if Chelsea had a fit Drogba and especially a fit Essien playing all season they'd be well clear in the league.

Every team has had injuries to key players this year so to come out with the above is abit one-sided.  Are Chelsea suddenly the best team in England because of last nights result?  No, but they are still a force albeit not the force they were the past few years.  Liverpool hit a purple patch over the past month and I honestly believe that things will go back to normal with regards to their results and performances.

I see Benitez has came out with another classic ahead of tonights match:

Quote"If you play well, score goals and keep a clean sheet, then there is no reason why you cannot go through. I think what has happened before is just a coincidence."

Its on youtube.  Search robbie keane italy and it should be pulled up.  I was looking at it yesterday and it looks like Hunts to be honest.

QuoteThese 2 are brilliant players but both look a very long way off championship fitness. With one competitive game left and 8 or so weeks to go I suppose there's plenty of time.

I would say Brian McGuigan has not been flat out recently since he is only returning from injury.  I am excited by the possibility of him being fully fit this summer, as last year was a bit too soon for him.

Not much is made of Cloughs career as a player, he had an unbelievable goal scoring record.

Was he alone?

QuoteThe perpetrators of the mass murder of so many innocent Japanese should have been dragged before the courts and charged with war crimes.  Never, ever should the atom bombs have been dropped.

Why?

QuoteA couple of journalists in the Irish News see to that. He mentioned possibly going to the hurlers, cant see him anywhere near the first 15 if everyone is available.

How many of the starting 15 from Antrims recent games would realistically make the best 15 of all the hurlers who still play?

Benjamin Button was very long but it depends on what you are into - I thought it was very good.

QuoteI saw The Big Lebowski on dvd at the weekend.  Heard it was a great film, I wasn't particularly gone on it though

I have always heard great things about this film, and I believe I have seen it but not sure - maybe that sums up how good it is.  I saw it for 3 quid in Tesco's the other day and I thought about lifting it and giving it another go.  I might yet.
