Silly Season

roberts would do no better than edwards on the yamaha. so i dnn't think that's gonna happen. that's all yamaha need is a give no effort rider like krjr. no gps for roberts anymore me thinks. unless it's with the old mans team!

I originally though with this single bike team for Rossi he was going a bit elitest, but it might be a good thing for Yamaha if Rossi is going to leave us.

Its gonna be real interesting to who Yam put on that bike, I quite like Stoner (hey and thats saying a lot guz us Kiwi's don't like Aussies that much) he looks like a real tough nut. I think he's better than Pedrosa actually. Things are getting most interesting

It would be interesting to know if Kenny has any motivation left in him after all he was world champ so he is not talentless

cant believe gibs wont be on a honda as he is a top front runner and rossis main 20 plus lap contender apart from homer nicky in the usa..... ok camel honda is another chance but lets c him on the dukes as he is always fast so if they cam tame sum of the power then gud b ok 4 him.. but this gud just b the start of the funny rumour season.

if he can a suzuki to a win then there must b a chance

One from MCN yesterday,Ellison could be joining Rolfo at D`antin Ducati as the Blatta project looks increasingly doubtful.Def no Vemulen in MGP 2006,Shakey`s been around the WSBK teams and Toseland is likely to be sacked if he shows poor at Assen.

who are the kiwi's?? thought it was only a fruit??

New Zealanders

Its a bit like the British and the French really, we have huge rivalry in sport and everything else really, we slag each other off at the 1st opurtunity. Us New Zealand's (Kiwi's) are a small bunch but more often than not we take our bigger brother down and they tend to get all bent out of shape about it.

Its great fun

i didnt know that there was such a great rivalry between australia and new zealand. im glad that the kiwis take down the aussies more often then not, i rather like new zealand.

I thought the Aussies disliked the Brits, they're always calling them POMS.


And the feeling is reciprocal, I recall hearing Eurosport comentator on Casey Stoner's podium finish: "I seems the Aussies at least do well at something"
What was that about????

That's a bit uncalled for in any manner but especially for a journalist who is supposed to be impartial to any. It's bad enough when people make remarks like those in day to day speak but to do it on the platform of a broadcast is sickening.

Calm down chaps!! Its probably in reference to the recent test cricket game where England won Australia

I didnt think there was any "hate" between the UK & Australia................other than the fact they gave us Neighbours & Home and Away (soaps for those not in the know)

I still dont know what a Pom is

I'm lost. Sorry.

Something about Aussies and Kiwis not liking each other and then the Brits jump in for a three-way battle royal??

I personally like the traditional fighting dance the New Zealanders do before every rugby game. It is scary and awesome to watch.

Its just not Cricket

Time for a history lesson, There is a huge sporting rivalry between The English, Aussie's,New Zealand and South Africa, this covers everything from Rugby and Cricket to tidly winks, and beleive me it does spill over into everything else, Journo's go at it poking the borax, eh even Prime Ministers get involved sometimes.

Also there is a lot of rivalry in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland also.

Pom, Pommy, Pommy Poofta = English (I think it comes from WW2)

The reason for the

Well you have to understand 1st that a the the English are widely know for there moaning and WHINGING about everything (english commentators) On some of the other boards I knock around on the the big thing at the momment is the Aussies have been failing in everthing at the moment. And because they haven't been doing well for a while (I hated saying that) everyone is putting the boot in (eheh nothing like kicking an Aus when he is down).

And the Aussies are not reacting to it to well with all sorts of out bursts.

Ahhh its all good fun!!!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>platform of a broadcast is sickening

hah you havn't heard the norm for all the Rugby and Cricket Commentators they are way worse than that, its was pretty mild not even worth mentioning.

Hey Ooost no point in being PC mate dosn't get ratings, as a sports fan I'd rather read the boards like this than read what Journo's right cause they have to be so PC, and most journo's talk crap anyway. Ya find people on boards like this far more knowlegeable and a much better read IMHO.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>I personally like the traditional fighting dance the New Zealanders do before every rugby game. It is scary and awesome to watc

Glad ya like it mate the mighty HAKA. haa you wanna see the stink it's caused this week the AB's did a new version in last weeks game 1st time in hundred years, at the end of it was a motion of running ya finger across the throat arla slitting the throat. Well you wanna see the .... from the yarppies aussies and pom's this week its been quite over the top eheheh good fun. But then they ar always crapping on about it.

Anyway enough of that crap, history lesson over back to bikes

Cheers
