When the English settlers landed in Australia, they noticed a strange animal that jumped high and far. They asked the aboriginal people using body language signs to ask them about this animal. They responded with "Kan Ghu Ru", from which the English adopted the word Kangaroo. What the aboriginal people were really trying to say was, "We don't understand you", "Kan Ghu Ru".

A statue in a park depicting a soldier on a horse with two of its feet in the air means the soldier died in combat. If the horse has only one foot in the air, the soldier died of injuries from combat. If the horse has all four feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.

Sort the defense out!!! Get rid of Upson and and that patheitc little yank Spector...Let us know how Ilunga is doing and get some strength and solidity into the defense. Surely you don't intend on keeping the same tossers that performed liked Sunday league players last season do you?
Keep Scotty Parker, its the #$%$ you need to get rid of, not our best.
Mr Gold, keep your mouth shut!! When you're asked about players availability, just say 'ask Mr Grant, he's our manager'

"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our goal, to ride out the storm of Klose and Mueller, and to outlive the menace of Lahm, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of Her Majesty's Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.

The British Empire. North, East, South, West and the Midlands linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen, France, Denmark and Italy have already capitulated, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in South Africa,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our penalty area, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving of power to watch the game, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the England fans, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old, young, men and women of our fair land. That land known as England"

COME ON ENGLAND

Winston Churchill.

Looks like your stck with the muppet now unless someone like Watford put a decent offer in for Rob Green, Englands No1?...what a joke.

It's no surprise in the sense that they're all either current Premier League players or spent the formative years of their careers in the Premier League. Of course, this is consistent with the fact that it is the quickest league, and giving further credence to the English game being more about speed and brute force than intelligence and skill. Anyhow, what's surprising to me, personally, is that Aaron Lennon doesn't make the list. Additionally, there are plenty of quick players all over like Aiden McGeady, Jesus Navas, Nicholas Anelka just to name a few, that are most likely faster than Rooney. Article below:

German newspaper Der Spiegel have conducted a study in a bid to discover the fastest footballer in the world.

The findings were a little surprising even though the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo came out on top was no great shock. The Real Madrid superstar reached a speed of 33.6 kilometres per hour to finish first following exhaustive research undertaken by watching match footage. To go with his spellbinding skills, the Portugal international is also rated the quickest player on the planet.

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben was second on 32.9 km/h with Arsenal flyer Theo Walcott in third (32.7).

Manchester United and England ace Wayne Rooney, not renowned for his blistering pace, was fourth (32.6) with Robin van Persie (32.1), Arsenal's injured striker, in fifth place.

The results are sure to generate plenty of debate amongst supporters.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) - 33.6 km/h
2. Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich) 32.9 km/h
3. Theo Walcott (Arsenal) 32.7 km/h
4. Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) 32.6 km/h
5. Robin van Persie (Arsenal) 32.1 km/h

Manchester City have begun what is expected to be another busy transfer window by sealing a deal for Germany defender Jerome Boateng.

The 21-year-old will officially become a City player on July 1, having agreed a five-year deal to sign from Hamburg.
Boateng was in Manchester on Saturday to confirm the details of the move before jetting off to South Africa to join up with the Germany team.
No fee was announced by the club, but it had been reported that Boateng would cost around 12.5 million euros (£10.35m).
Boateng had long been a target of City boss Roberto Mancini.
"This is a very good signing for Manchester City and I am pleased to bring Jerome to the club," the Italian said. "He is a young player who is already of a very high quality, but I think he can continue to improve at City."
