La Parka

Euro 96' for me, the sticker album, the coins, the games, the goals, a brilliant tournament. The best being the 4-1 v Holland.

Well he's mainly played right back for England but he's playing centre back for City so if that's all Capello has seen then he'd have to displace Ferdinand or Upson. Based on current form there's not much in it. Basing an England team on form rather than reputation? Scandalous!

Crumpy you make me lol. I like this bot, it has terribly outdated WUM scripts. Thing is, its so hilarious when you post in Chat or Help because you look human. "OMG MY FONE IZ BROKENED" Its not cool, clever or funny. If this is the kind of thread you season ticket uber fans would churn out then I'm glad this suggestion of yours will never pan out. One of the best thing about these boards are the rival fans, the foreign fans and even those like me who are too fucking poor to afford a season ticket.

We are doing a Blackburn at the moment, from a successful period (granted we didn't win anything), to midtable to relegation?! Lets hope not..

12th with 43 Derby, Reading and Brum to go down.

I think that is the best thing you ever posted James!

He just isn't himself this season

Not got the legs or the passing range for a modern midfielder simple as that.

Nailed on.

Fuck me. Hopefully we can turn that over.

.........Butt......... ..Barton..Emre.. .........Duff........ ? Weird midfield.

Skeptical to begin with. Hope he is a success but I can see it ending in tears. I'll still get behind him like!

Orly?

God luck lads. I got work so I won't know the result till tonight

Spot on. I f****** love the man, he's superb. I'm also a fan of Kammy, genuine legend. Agree completely. His hosting skills make the show.

Both. I'm talking about players who were bought for the future in general. I always think there's a lot more satisfaction in seeing 'one of your own' come through. In the future, it's going to be harder to get top quality kids unless they've come through your Academy as anyone with ability will already have been snapped up by a bigger fish. Of course there will be some that will slip through the system to resurface later, but I would be surprised if they will be as prevelant as they have been in the past. Supposedly, Lyon has managed to stay on top in France by snapping up quality young players (not Academy players) from all over Ligue 1. Year after year, they buy young, play them for a season or two and turn around and sell them at exorbitant prices. Not bad business being the middleman. Or so that's what I'd read somewhere. Like Ajax then (though their youth is more cosmopolitan).

Hillsborough. Had wooden seats when I went!

Do you want to try? 'Cos I don't. Change the title to: Another one of those pointless board threads that goes around in circles or something.

Its more of a side effect of growing up.

Any chance you can split the thread or something? Move all this bullshit somewhere else? What has this board discussion got to do with fabio. I'm tired of these shitty politics coming up over and over again.

It was only a joke mate. Blatently had terrible acne as a kid! Never had it, but its a bit harsh picking on him right?

FUCKING HELL IS THIS SHITTY POLITICS BULLOCKS STILL GOING ON IN HERE! ARN'T WE MISSING THE POINT HERE?! Good luck to Fabio, hope it turns out well for him!

Good luck Fabio, hope you survive the fickle fans.

Leave the kid alone! Fuck me! Why bother commenting on his complexion?! Sad tbh. Good luck Ole!
