Even if we were to have an amazing season and finish fourth , this is exactly the type of game we would lose. Optimism and expectations high against a newly promoted team. NUFC 0 Hull 2. Probably a red card and injury to help us along.

Not picking a fight, it's just banter man. All of my posts for the past couple pages have been tongue in cheek. I care little for the national teams personally other than they get me through the dry spells.

Now that didn't come across as bitter at all.

The game against Fulham was the best we've played since Chelsea last year. That said my guess is we will come crashing back to earth with a turgid display and a convincing Villa win 3-0

Yes All I'm saying is ... FIFA... played two, won one drawn one... USA > England Fact

Title change request: something along the lines of "Now Officially better than England" as the new FIFA rankings are out.

Yeah all the best countries qualified today.

Chicherito giving Donovan shit... Wonder what he said. "Dude we stole your manager at Everton"?

I find that I feel better about Beckerman's game when I yell "God Damn It Kyle!!!" in Cartman's voice every time he misplaces a pass or loses the ball.

Van Bommel and Barton ... That will stretch the term "friendly" for this. I would love to see this match.

Well done NBC I am impressed. FSC was always had the low-budget-hey-we-are-tossing-you-a-bone-so-be-grateful vibe going on. Also I am pleased the evil Murdochs aren't making any money off of this... f*ckers.

Several years back I was reading the Guardian and it said something like "Dyer expected to be back by next week." I though that is great news... and then I realized he had signed for West Ham over a year earlier. meh. When he looks back, his best football was played here and he f*cked it up.

No no and please NO. WTF Portland are gonna still kick yer ass. This news is upsetting.

Shaka sang our praises as well but yeah Warren Barton was always a true black and whiter for us on TV. I hope for Warren's sake he can find a new job in punditry. He has done well for himself since moving to LA

Most of your friendlies are against Mexico for some ridiculous reason. Not technically accurate but a decent point. Half of the US that played last night even play in the Mexican league so thee is a bit of muchness that holds both the US and Mexico back.

Definitely a better game than expected. Good atmosphere for a GC game

I hope this is a decent game. I happen to be in Portland and have decided to go.

All these kits without massive horrible sponsors in the middle.... Dying of jealousy here.

Oddly enough I thought just the opposite about Ashley bringing KK back. To me it showed that head no idea what he was doing.

What is this "Leeds" you speak of?

HAHA Bet you we have exactly the same collar! You've jinxed us. Bet you we have the exact same shorts... Only a slightly different black from the stripes on the top.

Rich: Hard to define "realistic" in this case... you mean realistic in that Ashley would consider appointing them (known British quantity that could work within the system and would be cheap to procure) or do you mean in the sense that they would actually like to manage NUFC if given the choice? Or even all of the above? I voted Ketsbaia myself because I know he would come here in a heartbeat, be cheap, knows the club, and has shown some skill at management. Ashley and Llambias have probably not ever heard of him though, so probably unrealistic.

Ketsy then.

I don't think we'll win. I know the script: this is a MUST WIN game so we'll lose it. QPR 3 NUFC 0

Right then Wigan players let us have your heads down now in contemplative shame and just curl up and die inside knowing that Swansea are going to win this and there is nothing you can do. Much appreciated in advance.
