Magic. Absolute magic. Great stuff. :clap:

To be fair its hardly the most welcoming place is it? If you didn't know what it was like I would imagine after your third post you would think they were all a bunch of c***s and would never go back! The foreign lad on here apparently got a load of abuse for being exactly that! thats the craic though if you don't like it f*** off Never been on. Are they all as funny as you? have a look the might teach you and your cronies how to have a bit banter It's not 'banter' like. Just shit craic from people who've got nowt to say and say it too loudly.

No. It's there for ever baby.

What's wrong with it? It's full for a start! Nothing wrong with a bit of character in a stadium. It's full of fans in a country that isn't one of the wealthiest around and not a Stade de France type job. Vive la difference!

Should bring the Argies out of their shell.

Professionals of such age and experience should require less motivation from others..? I just think that players like Butt and Owen won't be inspired by a young lad who has achieved nothing in the game. They've actually won stuff and collected medals. He's not even become a regular starter for Newcastle and suddenly, he's their captain! Just seems a bit fucked up imo. They shouldn't need to be inspired though? I often giggle at the John Terry comparisons that often show up, but the same thing did wonders for him. One other point of view is that the influence of a captain doesn't really mean much any more these days? I hope I'm wrong. Honestly. I just think certain players won't react positively to him trying to get them going before or during a match. I think it's a bit too much, too soon for the lad and I'd prefer it if he just concentrated on ironing out the errors in his own game rather than trying to sort out and organise people around him. Anyway, fuck it - the Copa America is just about to kick off.

Love watching both teams involved so I'm hoping it's a good game with both sides going for it. Fingers crossed.

I'll put money on it that he'll have a go at any of them. Aye, but how will they react?

Nothing against the lad but how the fuck is he supposed to motivate Owen, Given, Solano, Butt, Viduka and Carr? Will they respect/listen to him? I know I fucking wouldn't if I were them. He's a decent player who'll get better but is he the right person to get Butt and Owen going before a match? Is he going to lift Viduka if he misses a chance or two during a match? Don't think so!

Was for a while, they sold it to ESPN though. It's still part of the Setanta pack for now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASN Never knew that... Could sway the decision. blueyes.gif

Is NASN part of Setanta now btw?

Used to be funny, now it isn't. Hasn't been for about 4 years tbh.

Can see why he's been given it but I'd have preferred to see it go to someone with a bit more experience.

Surprised no-one's mentioned Silvestre as a possibility, given he could play CH too. Not saying he's a world class defender but he's better than what we've got on the books currently.

Good point, what was the outcome of that conversation? The papers haven't reported it yet... Yes, but its Sunday and they have not even made anything up about it. If you know it's probably bollocks, why are you bothered if it's in the papers or not then?

No offence but that's a ridiculous thing to say...

Not saying I agree with it but Mourinho will never drop Terry. No chance. If he's fit - he starts. Agreed, even if you were taking the easy way out of the question. I think he'd start Terry and switch Cannavaro and Carvalho depending on the opposition tbh. *Not that Cannavaro is even a Chelsea player yet like!*

Wonder how Owen'll react to Taylor trying to gee him up before games?

I thought with the new age we had seen the last of this crap Inclined to agree tbh.

Let's hope this one doesn't go the same way as the other one, eh?...
