It also refers to North Harbour Stadium as the hold of football in NZ. Bullocks! We all know its the ring of fire.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that Paston will keep.

Sounds like the build up to the AB's world cup match with France :p

my views on the the game:
 
'It has taken all of a few hours for the inevitable truth of the Football World Cup to emerge, that the Fijians  face a crushing embarrassment in the weekend.

Italy will surely relinquish the World Cup...with a defeat of Dunkirk-like proportions, although without any glory.

'The French players may even get to return to their actual homes before the play-offs.

'Fijian football is at a low ebb. It lacks the athletes to compete against the All White side.
'England created a thoroughbread team from a load of donkeys for the tournament in Germany, although they are making an ass of themselves this time.

Fiji, the country, looks beautiful at this time of year, but the football team is not a pretty sight. God knows what will happen when the All Whites attack.

'It will take only thirty minutes of the opening match between a magnificently brilliant, New Zealand and a deeply confused Fijian side to realise this whole tournament is now down to just three teams - New Zealand, Brazil and Argentina.

'There is a real chance that France will not even make the World Cup, as the myths about French football were cruelly exposed in the Stade de France in the Confederations Cup in 2002 (ish).

'As for Fiji, if this were cricket they would be dancing for rain and praying for a draw. There is no such place to hide in the football war.

'The word Titanic was written all over this Fijian performance. English football is even more of a Titanic. It has spent four years steaming towards the jagged ice with the band playing loudly, but the beat is now provided by popping rivets that herald a thunderous descent.'
 
I stand by these comments, and they will be proved right over the weekend, and next few months.

Milts referred to NHS as being the 'SELF PROCLAIMED hotbed of football'.  Read between the lines to find the sarcasm...

are you on crack Frankie?
is it a fair point that Pastie and Brownie have played about 12 seconds of competitive football between them in the past god knows how long? should they be playing? (in Paston's defence no other keeper apart from Moss has been playing either)
