• Emi Martinez? I\'d say he is the best goalkeeper in the world, and if its about medals he has them, Jordan is a brilliant shot stopper but lets be honest he does have flaws in his game, crosses, commanding the 6 yard box and the way he parries shots back into the area, sketchy distribution occasionally, I mean there is a reason he is still with us, Pep never came for him when he wanted a keeper, UTD, Arsenal never came for him, don't get me wrong I'm made up he\'s our keeper, he\'s saved us plenty of times and he has cut out the brain fartsrnI like the look of James Trafford, big brave and agile, he\'ll be Englands next keeper as far as I'm concerned ...

• Hence the phrase: "Football is Life", Paul!rnrnI understand people when they say they look at the person first, before the colour of their skin, but when John asks me how I can tell an immigrant, it's very similar to how you could tell someone was a cockney, Manc or from wherever back in those dangerous football hooligan days.rnrnThere is tension in the air and, in times of tension, most people suddenly become a lot more alert. Like I said earlier in this thread, the eyes never lie, so when I start talking to people in my taxi, I often ask them where they are originally from, Eric.rnrnI've had many a thoughtful, educational conversation because, at the end of the day, people are people, but if I'm being honest, the thing that we usually agree on the most is a line from that old Floyd classic, Mother: "Mother, should I trust the Government?"...

• Peter @8; wasn't that one of Kenwrights theme songs - 'Any dream will do' Jim @ 5; don't you mean - moderate success is not failure. Moderate success being 13th of course. The most accurate and natural ways to express this in Latin depend on the tone you want to convey:For the "Golden Mean" approach. Aurea mediocritas non est defectio.Translation: "Golden moderation [moderate success] is not a failure/falling short."Context: This adapts the famous philosophical concept of the "golden mean" coined by the poet Horace, which values a virtuous middle ground over extremes. A more direct translation is - Modicus successus non est clades.Translation: "A moderate success is not a defeat/disaster." For a classic Stoic motto regarding perseverance: Successus non finis, defectio non exitium. This seems more like the new motto our Texican Overloards should maybe think of adopting. Translation: "Success is not the end, falling short is not destruction."...
