That cunt Zamora at it again. -- TexasTom, 21:54:58 02/09/10 Tue
WTF is it with him? Why not enjoy the moment and embrace it with the fans? Instead he has to play Billy Big Bollocks and ignore (and diss) a pretty good fanbase 'cos someone upset him in a previous life...

Super Bowl is most watched TV show ever
NEW YORK – The Super Bowl was watched by more than 106 million people, surpassing the 1983 finale of "M-A-S-H" to become the most-watched program in television history.
The Nielsen Co. estimated Monday that 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts. That beats the "M-A-S-H" finale, which had 105.97 million viewers in an era when there were fewer television sets.
Compelling story lines involving the city of New Orleans and its recovery from Hurricane Katrina and the quest for a second Super Bowl ring for Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning propelled the viewership.
The game also obliterated the previous record viewership for a Super Bowl — last year's game between Arizona and Pittsburgh in which 98.7 million people watched.
And here is the real world view of tv viewing numbers:
Leading the field is the FIFA World Cup Final, which attracted more than double the global audience of any other sporting event in 2006. The Italy vs.France match was watched by an average live global audience of 260 million people, with more than 600 million people tuning in to watch at least some part of the match.
and recently even the Champions League Final matched the Superbowl figures:
Uefa's Champions League final has for the first time replaced the NFL's Super Bowl as the most-watched annual sports event, according to a survey.
The Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United last May drew an audience of 109 million.
Who Dat? -- SirBazil, 10:12:11 02/08/10 Mon
....Say dey gonna beat dem Saints??? Entertaining game for a change and profitable for those backing MY Saints!!Rent Boy,apparently,had the Saints winning by 2 touchdowns!!!
Thought the interception was NOT Manning's fault but rather Reggie Wayne broadcasting his route for Tracey to step in and nick it. As for the "half-time" show....whoever thought the country/world needed to watch 3 guys in their late 60's prancing around a stage with special effects and canned music [yes-even his scream at the end] might want to attend our Exiles bash instead.

Bazil in the news? -- Daily Male., 08:34:31 02/05/10 Fri
The last member of a 65,000-year-old tribe from which humans were descended has died, taking one of the world's earliest languages to the grave.Bazil Sr, who died last week aged about 185, was the last native of the Andaman Islands who was fluent in Bo.
Named after the tribe, Baz is one of the 10 Great Andamanese languages, which are thought to originate from Africa and date back to pre-Neolithic times.

What d'ya think Wilkkkee et al ???
Feel it's a sad day (death knell ??) for hockey in the ATL (I've been a half dozen or so times this year and was starting to get into it).
The Thrashers supposedly offered him $70m over 7 or $101m over 12, but it wasn't enough !!! He wants the full 20% of the cap for 10 - 12 years. How likely are any other teams to offer him that in FA ??
See this as an extension of Audette, Heatley, Hossa, etc.............Don Waddell is undoubtedly a caaahhhnnnttttt !!!!
Did we get value in a first round pick, Bergfors, Oduya & Cormier for Ilya & Salmella ?? I don't know enough to know. Just know that Kovy was one of the few reasons to go see the games and that's a BIG gap in Thrashers scoring..........
Spozzie...............Matt..................Too busy?? -- Wilkkkee, 23:09:07 02/03/10 Wed
Sorry lads.......I left a text to each of you today. I was away from the box so was looking for updates......didn't get any........Matt...no excuse you unemployed bastard...Spozzie, you are forgiven!
To all........ -- SirBazil, 12:27:12 02/04/10 Thu
Right then....due to Mad Dog's "arrangements" THAT weekend has been decided.First off i want to apologise to any [Si in particular] who have different venues to attend THAT weekend making it impossible to be with us.....the dates pretty much took on a life of their own and it was decided without the usual messy arguments and tear's.
It appears all the usual suspects will be in attendance [including the Moose shagger-cause that is preordained]minus the "less than usual suspects"....Dodger,KyJelly and Spozzie [though Spozzie SHOULD be there 'cause he is the Queen of our cute and cuddly board] and probably deserves a few drinks from us as well as a good rodgering from "Rent Boy" who is apparently on loan this year to the highest bidder.
Normaly this time of year I start badgering the TFI/TIFF lot as well as the [so called] thousands of FulhamUSA fans here in the former colony. But seeing as half the Exiles are unemployed I thought I would leave it up to someone else to annoy/villify/bully and generaly take the piss out of those who may need a "guilt" edged invitation to the yearly FFC fans Vegas bash....plus for those so called "thousands" of FulhamUSA members this year is a perfect opportunity to present yourselves for THAT weekend 'cause we play you on the saturday......so who's up for badgering everyone this year? I may come out of retirement next year and do it but I am just too busy [dont you know darlings]right now..........
Vegas2010 -- Mad dog, the erstwhile bruvver of the Loof!!!!, 19:02:38 01/20/10 Wed
Right then you lot, its all sorted. Me and my little bruvver are meeting at the airport at Billings, Montana on Saturday 5th june, checking out little big horn, pizza parlour, cat-house, ale house - gin house, and just about every other kind of depraved establishment your fertile minds can navigate before taking a leisurely motoring trip through the Rockies and the great Lake of Salt before arriving in that den of iniquity Las Vegas on Friday 11th june for a long weekend of debauchery, Fulham chit-chat, beer, more beer etc.etc.
Well that was sh*t! -- dodger, 18:24:45 02/03/10 Wed
If it had been any other team than Pompey we would have lost by at least 2. Imagine if we'd had to sell six of our best player? We struggle when we're missing a couple. Still, a couple of years ago we could only draw (twice) with Derby, so I suppose it's some progress. On the bright side, I thought Shorey was excellent. If he plays like that every week, Roy's found another bargain. Not sure about Okaka. Terrible miss, Zamora-like. Tonight proved that Roy shouldn't mess with Hughes/Hangeland in the middle. Surely, it must be time to try Stoor at RB, Kelly had a 'mare. I also thought we looked better when Dick-a-toy came on. He doesn't do anything flash, but always finds a Fulham player.
Reading between the lines...... -- dodger, 10:18:18 02/03/10 Wed
....it seems that Fulham agreed to loan out Kamara and discovered that AJ's knee was worse than they thought and at the last minute tried to get Beattie as a replacement. Roy has admitted that it was a mistake to let Kamara go in light of the AJ situation.
Fantasy League - week 24 -- Des Fulham, 10:57:15 02/03/10 Wed
Who's won it, then, Spozzie? As long as it wasn't that bloody septic, again, roit? Septics don't know nuffing bout proper football
Fulham Shirt -- dodger, 10:22:33 02/03/10 Wed
Did anyone buy one of those FFC shirts with Dempsey/Murphy/Zamora on the back. I think they were $19 or something. I seem to remember Spoz said he was going to get one.
Anyone else notice... -- Texas Tom, 00:37:02 02/03/10 Wed
...That Clutterbug blew the whistle at least 35 seconds early when CFC corner broke down and Hull had a chance of a quick breakaway with 9 CFC players in the Hull penalty area. (4 minutes MINIMUM and he blows up at 3:25)
A (very) small chance for y'all chasing me in Fantasy Football -- Texas Tom, 00:33:31 02/03/10 Wed
"I’m disappointed that Simon Davies, who I was hoping would recover for the game on Wednesday, and Zoltan Gera, who injured himself in training on Tuesday morning, will not be available. To lose a further two in our current situation it seems that the real good fortune we had in terms of injuries last season we’re repaying for this season." - Roy H.
And not a word of commiseration from him for me losing my Fantasy Captain to a poxy injury in training. That selfish senile old fool is more interested in beating Pompey than me winning the Fantasy League. He should have been aware and wrappod ZG in cotton wool..
Not sure. -- Spozzie, 10:06:37 01/29/10 Fri
Not sure about the Okaka loan signing (reported having a medical Friday aftetnoon) I thought he was nothing special in the Europa League in fact my mates and I took the piss out of him and we happy to see him get the ball. I guess he is an extra body but with Dio and AJ coing back is he really needed? I would have taken Beattie with his style of play and wouldn't take time to adapt to the English game and lifestyle.
At least Roy can speak to Okaka in Eytie and tell him what he wants.
The video mentions that it's the place for the "Beautiful People" - rules us out then..... :( (NT) -- His [Handsome in his own way] Lordship, 11:00:43 02/05/10 Fri
