You'll never be lonely because you'll always have Asta the Wonder Dog by your side.

Here is rare footage of Asta in action.

Based Balls hab been berry good to me.

An astonishing number of players have come from the Dominican Republic (but not Haiti, go finger). Venezuela has produced some great players. Today we are seeing more Japanese and Korean players. I'm afraid Basic Bawls is spreading like a bad virus.

There is a rich history. Ty Cobb was a lot of things. He set records for hitting, and not only the ball but players on both teams. But none of that can diminish his skill as a story teller. Here he describes the first time he faced Walter Johnson, one of the all-time great pitchers.

It is inaccurate to lump everyone together. As I showed, someone tried to take advantage of Daniel's passing in order to carry out a personal vendetta against another user.

I stood up for what is right. I stood against a manipulative power play by a fairly new member of this community. And I was the target of a rather disgusting attempt at character assassination because of it.

My only regret is that the whole thing played out on Daniel's page.

<tpstar> was the first to do so, followed shortly by <keyser soze>. Both on the chessgames support page.>

<Doctor O'Footy> I'm mainly hoping the site will not go down forever and that's just about as far as I've gotten. I am still gutted that <Daniel> is gone and I'm on the point of tears several times every day because of it.

I don't really care about what fighting is happening at the moment. I'm certainly not going to take part in any of it. This isn't my website. I am simply relieved that it looks like it will continue to be *a* website.

I spent all week madly saving my work and the work of others so that we don't end up losing 12 years worth of chess history work in a moment.

Also, look on the bright side.

FOOTY it has started!!!!!!

<Wolverhampton Wanderers> good Heavens what is next- maybe <Derby County> for the next year's promotions?

Anyways, I just finished saving my day's viewing in advance for tomorrow, using the TIVO function on my TV.

I saved <Wolverhampton's> match in advance.

Jess. You feel like I feel only I feel a little bit worse because we used to argue with each other. We've both spoken privately about certain subjects regarding this site - although not for a <long time> might I add - and we've both (And not just me and you) said we're not happy about certain things.. Daniel dies and it hits you like a brick! What we were complaining about is just absurd and pathetic, unimportant, a man just died. I know how you must feel. John Lennon once said "Everyone loves you when you're 6ft under". He was right. One of the most upsetting things to see was people using his death to attack their perceived enemies, I've never been as shocked by a <<doctors>> behaviour in my entire life, never ever ever ever ever.

<Doctor> Yep we have been through a lot together- it's been years now. Mainly I feel guilty about the (many) times I criticized <Daniel> both privately and in public. What a drudge I must have seemed to him, certainly at times, at any rate.

He didn't always do things the way I would have liked, but how can he please everyone? He was his own man and he was a unique and loving man. He loved chess he loved this website and he loved us, even though our squabbling would have driven a less patient man batty.

<Man City> or <Liverpool> sure- I'll stick with my <Spurs> but as my forum title suggests, I'll back the reds over City. I think <Colonel Klink> is a wonderful gaffer. He's the kind of gaffer the troops will follow into battle. It's too bad <Waiter! Mo Salad over here!> had such a sad end to one of the most exciting EPL debut runs I've ever seen.

He'll be back!

I'm on for <Cardiff> as well then. You might remember I punted for Wales and all things Welsh in the past. You can't be wishing that <Gareth Bale> would have stayed at White Hart Lane though, any more than you could wish <Romulan Lukaku> would have stayed at Everton.

You can't blame the player for these kinds of career decisions.

I did think though, that what <Spurs> might be missing in their current lineup/philosophy is some of that macho bravery that <Bale> can deliver, when he's not injured that is.

WHEN THOSE SPURS, GO MARCHING IN...

<Hanh> I know, it is surreal and terrible but it is reality as well.

<MrMelad> Thank you sir!
