    Panesy,
    
    Looking at the address, I would guess it is something to do with the
    'intelligence' part of the Met (& yes, I know the words 'Intelligence'
    and 'The Met' in the same sentence should be separated by the words
    'don't have any').
    
    How did you find the page? Been grassing up the Palace mob?
    
    I think we should be told.

     Stratto,

     Er. No. I just used a search engine . I entered the string "boring"
     and there was a reference to Arsenal on the page.

     Hope this helps,

     Stuart

    Here's a good one:
    
    http://www.soccer.com/euro/features/AYS.html
    
    It asks you a few questions about yourself and your footballing
    capabilities (or lack of them) and then finds a 'spiritual equivalent'
    to you amongst well known players (occasionally throws up an obscure
    yank though).
    
    Tried it out myself, being brutally honest (ie admitting that I was a
    load of shite). Apparently I am ...Mark Hughes (oh dear)
    
    See if you can do any better ;-)

    Dom,
    
    the survey didn't have enough options, there was no `Re-incarnation of
    Goerge Best' option so I chose the 'Bag of Cement'....

It's quite entertaining if you try changing an answer and resubmitting. I got 
pissed off being some obscure American, so I converted myself to a midfielder 
(well, I play in midfield at 5-a-side!) and became Del Piero. Then a 
conversion solely from Model Professional to Firecracker turns Del Piero into 
Paul Ince.

Not entirely accurate I'd say, as Del Piero has an extrememly nasty streak 
himself - it's just not as obvious as Ince's.

Good game, but needs more players.

521.16Bet he wore gloves too...VARESE::SACHA::IDC_BSTROh no! NOT Milan Kundera again!Tue Jul 23 1996 15:5015
    Also, I'd question the character assessment for Roberto Baggio. He
    reminds me of Steve Davis's comment when he won the Sports Personality
    of the Year Award: "Not bad for someone who's not supposed to even have
    a personality!"
    
    In fact, I recall a friend of mine who supports Inter seeing Baggio in
    one of his first games for Fiorentina at San Siro. It was a freezing
    cold day in January, and in the first half Baggio played wide on the
    left...the only area of the pitch where the sun was shining (albeit
    weakly). The players then came out for the second half and (you've 
    guessed it!), Baggio took up his position wide on the right! I'm sure it 
    was strict orders from his manager of course...
