[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 649825, member: 57076"] Tony, gaston, what d'you think ? I quite like it. Very simple, barely different from the actual word...but nice and catchy. How could we have been so....blind, all this time... [B]Scotty[/B] there is a lot of truth in what you have worded with your keyboard. I understand the frustration that you are voicing, although I cannot actually hear the voice...(the sad world of mass communicashun..). But you see [B]You'reScotty[/B], when you say "not enough Frenchmen in teams; not like France is lacking talent..", Boudjellal tells you he doesn't give the smallest dragonfly caca about that because as good as some French guys are, there's just better. Look at the 'best players per position' thread I made. There are French names. Many in fact. But how many of those are Top 1 or 2 or 3 ?
