Are you all idiots? Carlos Alberto said what he did, so that his players, the fans, and the media will pay less attention to how much the loss to England hurt them. He probably couldn't care less about Owen or his height, he's trying to to qualify.
I don't think so. The media is hardly going to pay attention to a 2-0 loss to England. It was expected, and they had no chance of qualifying anyway.

    No it wasnt actually... check your facts.

    And less of those comments please.... You dont like the ameriacan comments so dont make these anti english ones... we all know you hate english football, its players and anything to do with it , which is fine but theres no need for the offensive nationalistic comments.
    OK, my fault about that as I should have made it clear I was talking about the English Media. I don't think I have insulted nations or religions on this forum.

    Firstly, I dont love Jose at all... I think hes a good manager and he amuses me... I am not his 'fan' though

    I do however love his passion, spirit and his raw emotion

    That incident is not the point... My point was that if he had said it you would have branded him classless but when alberto says it... you find that funny... Double standards
    Actually that is wrong Paul. If Mourinho would have made those comments I still would have laughed because they were humorous, not to mention that I'm obviously not an Owen fan. I dislike Mourinho for other obvious reasons, especially the Barcelona matter this past month. If players make naive comments like Owen was accused of, I think they're fair game.

    Come on Pauly don't be making assumptions.

    Well if thats what you meant... Fair enough
    Yes that is what I meant. It would be incredibly stupid to insult the English people considering I'm American. It's the football I like to criticise.

    I love deadlines, especially the whooshing sound they make as they go by.

    ----Douglas Adams
    I love that one. Have used it a few times too!

    My favourite Adams quote though is not that one, but,
    "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

    A couple of more from the sadly deceased Mr. Adams:
    "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

    "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

    "You live and learn. At any rate, you live."


    Nice DNA quote resource here.

    "It's not a war. What are they going to do, kill me? If someone wants to do something stupid then lock them up because I've got no time for violent people. The only threats I've had this week have been from the wife for not doing the washing up" - Harry Redknapp makes light of his return to Fratton Park this weekend.


    In the end, he got bashed.
