fuck me you really are Peter Mandelson in disguise aren't you?     -----Original Message----- From: Mark Humphries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 May 2006 16:22 To: Nick Allen; leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: RE: [LU] He might just have learnt something Irrelevant when we are talking about the ‘home nations’ because the home nations all play similar standard and ranked sides, so you can use the rankings to compare their relative positions.   Although I would say that USA are a decent side, and did beat England, so some would argue they are a better side.  England are let down by occasional shocking qualification losses/draws (NI for one).. whereas USA seem to beat lesser sides pretty consistently.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Allen Sent: 31 May 2006 16:16 To: leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: FW: [LU] He might just have learnt something   that's them that have the USA as better than England isn't it?     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Humphries Sent: 31 May 2006 16:05 To: 'Verner Hanna'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: RE: [LU] He might just have learnt something Ask fifa.   From: Verner Hanna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 May 2006 15:43 To: Mark Humphries; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: RE: [LU] He might just have learnt something   So we ended up higher up in our group than Wales and we're worse than Wales? How's that work?    Verner Mark Humphries <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Verner, on any given day most international football sides can beat another, especially if its treated by the nation as their first cup final in 20odd years.   By most objective reasoning, NI are the poorest of the 5 countries in question at the moment.   By world rankings they are the poorest of the 5 countries at the moment.. although you might give Scotland a run for their money!   I’m not talking historically, I’m just comparing *current* squads.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Verner Hanna Sent: 31 May 2006 15:29 To: Verner Hanna; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; leedslist@list.zetnet.co.uk Subject: RE: [LU] He might just have learnt something   Oh and before everyone "goes off on one"........   For the record, I would dearly love England to win the World Cup, yeah, I'd never hear the end of it, but it would be fantastic.  My gripe is, the whole England setup is treated by the vast majority of it's current players as a "career progression" rather than the honour it should be when pulling on the "Three Lions".   I will always support England, unless they are playing Northern Ireland and possibly Spain (if my missus is about).    And if you think Northern Ireland are the weakest team in the British Isles, check your history books.  3 times @ WC's and progressed to second stage in 2 (Not bad for a country with considerably less people than the other nations).  Has Scotland ever progressed?  And bloody Wales has only been there once, back in 1958, which is even further back than 1966!   NORN IRON!   Verner   Verner Hanna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There's more heart in the Northern Ireland Team than that over-paid bunch of @rseholes who don't give a flying [EMAIL PROTECTED] about the "Three Lions". FACT. I think you'll find that was proven last September. Oh and by the way, I was alive in the 1980's oh and back in September also.  Were you born in before the WC in 1966?   Just wondering...   Verner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone else spot the irony in the Norn Irish whinging on with everyone else that England go on about 1966 too much, and then spending their entire lives living off their British Championship win in the 1980's (when everyone had long ceased to care about it) and now clearly adopting the win in Belfast (which didn't actually ultimately affect England at all) as their latest decade long brag. Mark wittled: "No disrespect but Northern Ireland are the worst team of all the home nations and ROI."   Aye, they're that shit they beat the mighty England........     Verner       ******* This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
