You seem to think that the democratic governments of this world actually have teachers on remote-control, but that's a delusion. Curriculm guidelines are distributed by a central government, but they are ultimately adapted by individual teachers. Some teachers are conservative in nature and some are liberal, so the idea that there is some sort of government-dictated ideology being force-fed to students is wacko, Deano.
If you want any more information on this, start a thread in the GDF.
Back to football...
Beckham to Arsenal? Sounds like a load of rubbish to me. Why would Wenger want wa waning widfielder wafter whe whas wspent wthe whole wof wthis wseason wblooding win wyoung wtalent?
Spurs are going to draw with Newcastle and Man Utd, but will win all their other games this season. That game on April 22nd is a definite 3 points for Spurs, with the score being something like 0-3.
Suck it up, punks. We're the fun-loving Criminals.

Doubt it. They'd have to alter their style from fast, short passing to incorporate a leaden long-ball merchant.
When he played in the anchor role for England (or for Sven), Lampard and Gerrard became redundant.

Oh, I'd just like to post this comment in regards to the Crouch debate:"Peter has never been prolific, and I don't think he is ever going to be."
- Steven Gerrard.
Venables was saying yesterday that Crouch is, in his opinion, nothing more than a sub. He thinks Crouch doesn't have the quality to play at the top level, and any 'discomfort' he causes defenders dissipates in about 5 minutes when they realise the man can't play.

he's never been great with his head. as for the ball getting caught up in his feet..well you can name several players who have done that. you aint giving him much credit, his legs are 4 feet tall. he is consistantly good with his feet.
Wait, what the f*ck is he being praised for then? If he's not great with his head, why does it matter that he can get to the ball before everyone else? He pelted one wide.
Getting to the ball first and being a good header of the ball aren't connected.
I know I'm not giving him much credit, he doesn't deserve it. You all credit him for his height, then admit he's not good with his head. He's "good for his height" with his feet, but there are better players with their feet (shock horror) than Crouch.
So why is he in the team?

Ahh, Venables...I love that man.
I also love the argument for Crouch:
"He's tall, so that's good!" - he can't head the ball and he falls over easily.
"He's good with his feet for someone so tall!" - What are you comparing him to? A giraffe?
He's shit. There's nothing more to it. He can't score. His legs get tied up together. He looks like an idiot. He's shit, shit, shit, shit.
...And to think that Rafa thought he'd sell Owen for 12million and buy Crouch for 7million to replace him. Good business.

Not to mention- why the **** do we need someone tall if he can't even head? So he's good for a tall player. WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A TALL PLAYER. Let's get someone who is good...for a footballer.
