I don't think the Rangers know they weren't supposed to win.This is one for all the bum luck teams of all time....maybe next year is your year!Making it sweeter was kicking the Yankee$ ass in the ALCS....and the cherry on top was A-Fraud being the last out, looking at the called third strike. Beautiful.Mike B.

If they stayed at home and got an early night, maybe we'd get our post at a reasonable time the following day.TBH, who wouldn't put up with Man'U for £180K a week.Imagine how much he'd be worth if he could play football to an international standard?
killjoy32 wrote:hey marknot looking for anything in particular. just as an example, i was with badmike standing in half-price books in dallas. i said to him that the fantasy/sci-fi section was amazing. at least half of what was there, you dont get over here. there are lots of novels that dont make their way across the water (for whatever reason). stuff like that basically. they dont really need to have any necessary value from a collectable perspective (not trying to rip people off or 'sponge') its just a case of obtaining things that you can get over there, but cant over here as i said earlier, i got a 1968 copy of return of the king - a US release, so has artwork on the front neither i or anyone else who has seen it, has ever seen before - more of a novelty than anything else, but does pique interest and you have something different that everyone else selling books in the area doesnt have etc....hope that helps badmike knows what i am on about very best (hope youre well by the way - havent spoken to you in some time, to catch up on how things are etc your side? )Al
killjoy32 wrote:well they are reckoning that he is earning about £250k a week now. thats a nice flag for the rest of the footballers to follow now "if he can get it, why can't i?". you watch it all explode now over the coming months.interesting article today on the sky sports website:http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 45,00.htmlif that was to happen, it would be the best thing to happen to football, since they introduced the substitute ruling back in 1965/66 season, despite them using it elsewhere in the world for years! would allow the clubs in this country some stability. the big clubs have all made net losses and if thats a sign of things to come already, imagine whats going to happen if the salaries start to rise even more than the bloated level they already are!Al
Badmike wrote:I'm getting together a pile for you now, Al. Mostly older books I have in the shed that aren't worth much, but I bet they haven't ever been seen over there because they are older American editions. Might be curios because I don't know how many American editions make it across the pond.Mike B.

Hopefully you can divest yourself of this human cancer and get back to winning, look what happened with the Rangers once we dumped his lame ass. Good Luck!Mike B.
