How's living in England?

[leo]

sure. since I am in the military then, I don't have time to post anyway :P

The military is an obligation in Norway? Or you just join it by free will?

[bryorama]

I spy a bet going.  :O

[EWS]

Everybody knows that the best team in Britain is Inverness Caledonian Thistle.  No other team has done what they have!

[Apollyon]

If you lived here, you would know. And you don't. I've heard many stories about England, and this thread is a prime example.

[lowzeewee]

sure. since I am in the military then, I don't have time to post anyway :P

...then forget it. Anyone else up for the bet? Dunenewt, wanna bet on Leeds getting promoted? ;D

@EWS:They did what?? ???

@Apo:Yeah....you only went to holiday spots.... ;D

[EWS]

In SCotland we have 4 main leagues (SPL,1,2,3).  In 1994 new teams were admitted to the league (we dont have something such as the conference) and so ICT were created (a merger between two clubs).  THis season they won the 1st division and shall now be playing in the SPL next year (unless they mess us about).  No team has done that, go from the lowest divison to the top flight in 10 years.  Further, they have won 2 championships, and reached the semi-final of the Scottish Cup twice.  WE have also beaten Celtic numerous times (once last year and they had a full squad).  So ICT are the best.

As the headline read:

"SupercaleygoballisticCelticareatrocious"

[lowzeewee]

Full squad?Hmm...sounds right...every team has 11 men...so they all have full squads! ;D

[leo]

I'm up for the bet. :)

[lowzeewee]

So what team you expecting to win the premiership?

But are you going to the army or something?

[leo]

Man.utd

I was supposed to go in a couple of months but now I'm probably going first to the university and only after that to the army.

[lowzeewee]

OK we will anticipate the results of next season, in the meantime, I shall play my custom FED2K team on FIFA 97 ;D

[Emperor Harkonnen]

The military is an obligation in Norway? Or you just join it by free will?

yeah it is conscription in Norway, though only 40% are called in. I am joining by free will, because I want to learn russian in the military with a officer education, which takes approximately 1,5 years.

[leo]

If you have any questions about Russian you can ask me. :)

But I don't get it, what's the connection between Russian and the Norwegian army today?

[EWS]

Whose gonna win the prem next year?  Depends on whether Liverpool get O' Neill or not!

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I can guarantee you that Liverpool have had their golden age, they are not going to win in the near future.

I have no question about russian. I know plenty of people to ask. There is no special connection with russian and the norwegian army, but this is only one of many languages you can learn. I want to learn russian because it is one of the most spoken languages in the world.

[lowzeewee]

O'Neill can only handle a small team in a league with a Southampton-standard opponent who can only TRY to challenge you[of course,they are beaten everytime in the "crucial" face-off matches...] and with the other 10 teams being semi-pro-standard... 8)

[EWS]

No, I reckon he is one of the best managers in britain at the moment.

[lowzeewee]

No, I reckon he is one of the best managers in britain at the moment.

Scotland, not Britain. ;D

Wait, ALSO-> Scotland, Ireland, Isles of Man, Virgin Island, Wales, Falkland Islands and those 2 remaining African colonies owned by Britain. Oh, add all the countries that Britain had colonized in the past, they have no good managers too. :D

Ehmmm, we aren't owned by anyone.  We are part of Britain.  All the best managers in the world are SCottish, always have and they always will.  Further, I didn't see any English teams in the final of the Uefa cup last year (or this year infact).  All the best managers are come from Scotland (and another thing, the best manager in Britain at the moment is the Crystal Palace guy, completly forgot bout that).

[lowzeewee]

Well...Wenger isn't scottish :D

Well, last year[every year in fact] the English teams were too busy competiting in a BETTER COMPETITION called the Champions' League... ;)

The Crystal Palace guy?LOL!!! :D

[EWS]

Have u actually been following the stroy of Crystal Palace?  And the only reason as to why [Arse]nal won the league?  Henry!

[lowzeewee]

Well, no player is a team.... ::)

Story of Crystal Palace? No...tell me about it then

[P.S.->It's arse-nil 8)]

[EWS]

ehmmmm, at Christams they were at the bottom of the first divison, they then got a new manager and now they are in the prem (just beat West Ham minutes ago).  That is a success story.  And I am sorry, but Henry did win the league for Arsenal, without him they would never have scored all them goals!!!

[lowzeewee]

They still got lots of other goals...but without him, they are not as good. Just like Celtic without Henrik Larsson... :P

Cool, but we shall see in the EPL next season! :)

[kkbrando]

Sorry, I wouldn't know, because i don't live in England.
