Age old question; what do women want?

My guess is a good as yours but I tend to think that if you pretend to listen to what their saying cook once in a while and fulfil most of their sexual needs the job is a quarter done lol the remaining three quarters only god and women themselves know. I know, spoken like a 23yr old male that has absolutely no clue what women want, maybe you ladies could help me out give me a clue or something.

Carbon emissions and Global Warming "what a load of shhhhhhhh...."

Have you noticed how everything you do these days is affecting the environment have you noticed how every first world government seems to be obsessed with decreasing carbon emissions and telling you that those carbon emissions are major contributors to the global warming phenom. Well if you ask me its a load of crap but hey anything to restrict the actions and movement of people around the world and anything for a little extra cash. Bio-fuel is supposedly an answer to the emission problem but guess what? It may require more energy to produce bio-fuel and therefore add more to the problem their trying to solve than it would to just continue using the "bad stuff" were using now. Hmmm how strange, a government solution that makes things worse. I'm no expert but I have done a little research and everything I've read points to the government feeding us the lowly people a big pile of shhhhhhh... anyway do your own reading and draw your own conclusions I'm just saying don't believe everything they tell you as if you would.

Is it time that FIFA took advantage of technology, should football be tweaked?

Nil all, 83 min, striker bursts into the box and is tackled, referee blows, penalty............. but what if the tackle was clean what if like in so many other matches the referee made a bad call???

So many major football matches have been decided by silly refereeing decisions or by skillful players trying to trick the man in charge but does that mean we should do away with the old and bring in new technology to aid officials? I don't think so but I do believe there should be compromise, referees should have the benefit of replays when making penalty decisions and also "effective"goal line technology should implemented. I wouldn't go as far as to remove all officiating errors from football that may ruin it, it may subdue the passion associated with the game conversely it could also improve it by forcing players to improve and play the game the way in which it was meant to be played but thats a risk to be taken on a smaller scale before being implemented on a larger one.

for now we have to wait on FIFA to catch up with the times and hope that they make a good refeering decision

The English Premier League

Should there be a limit on the amount of foriegn players allowed in each squad in the EPL? What are your views?

Arsenal FC

As an ardent Arsenal supporter Tuesdays Champions League loss was hard to take but when all is said and done did we deserve to progress? the answer is an obvious yes but even with superior technical ability and ample possession of the football we failed to do so, why? there is no single answer but below are three points I believe are at the root of disappointing season that had promised so much.
  • Inexperience
  • Lack of leadership on the pitch
  • Lack of quality in depth within the squad

But don't worry the first two will be a lot less significant next season, I'm sure the experience of this season will impact upon the players and a real leader will emerge (my money's on Cesc).

The third point however needs to be addressed directly by Arsene Wenger, over the years he has unearthed major talent, talent that only he seems to be able to bring out but in relying on young talent to develop the squad depth and specifically the quality in depth has suffered. I sincerely believe that Arsene needs to bring in a few established players to balance the squad and make it a more powerful unit. Only then will we not fall away and hand a trophy to the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea because as good as these two teams have been Arsenal have been poor.

For now however we can only hope that something extraordinary happens as we chase what may be a lost cause. We face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday the extraordinary needs to start there.
