Just noticed Ill be in the US during the playoffs. Bad luck I guess, guess I'll see Estonia in Poland and Ukraine after they've (hopefully) been drawn to Ireland and beat them.

Had a dream last nigh as well ........ we played man utd at SJP and we beat them 2-0... thanks to 2 goals by Raylor. That's more realistic than 7-5 to fucking Stoke.

Hope Estonia gets Ireland. Easiest team to beat of them lot for Estonia. Might try to convince my girlfriend to go to Tallin and watch the estonian home tie against whoever. (She's from Estonia and hates football but maybe this will interest her). Would be fun, been cheering for them a lot in these qualifiers.

He's very average. Simpson is better than him and Simpson aint good enough either so. No thank you.

Fucking hell, that had me laughing.

Playing in the centre according to everyone bar Wilson and his skysports score centre.

Spain, France, Chile, Norway. and Ireland. 5 on each returns 18 and 10.

He took it with his chest, check out the replays. Horrible decision.

Armenian goalkeeper gets redcard wrongly after Cox controls the ball with his arm and then shoot its on the keepers chest outside the box. I guess what goes around comes around luckily for Ireland.

Why? Just why does he have to play, its a meaningless game.

Well let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We might loose 16-0 (Lennon 8, Ekotto 8).

Er, no we're not. It's a lot more about us "fuckers" thinking you're mental. And get it clear - it's not the prediction of you winning that's the issue. It's the somewhat psychotic comparison of teams. Who the f*** are you f***ing calling f***ing psycotic you f***ing f***?!?! Calm down girl

Ben Arfa has huge potential, no doubt, but Ill reserve my judgement of him being better till the day he actually is better. Might be 2 months, might be tomorrow, but today he sure isnt.

Er, no we're not. It's a lot more about us "fuckers" thinking you're mental. And get it clear - it's not the prediction of you winning that's the issue. It's the somewhat psychotic comparison of teams. Agreed, this thread might be the worst pre-match thread I've ever witnessed on this board. This unbeaten form has made people go mental.

Look, it boils down to personal judgment. Anyone has every right to say that HBA is on par with Modric without being labelled deluded as much as you have every right to say that Modric is the better player without being labelled a pessimist jerk. Its all subjective and no need to think that you are more right than others So basically what your saying its all subjective?

We're more than capable of beating them buzza. No doubt about it, its more the fact that people have seen Marveaux play 2-3 games or watched it on the tube and he's already the next big thing. Barfa is better than Modric who is probably along with Silva the two best midfielders in the league. This is all looking more like the SMB which is sad. Their comments of Colo or Cabaye never fitting into their side are equivalent to this of Barfa being better than Modric or Ba being as good as Adebayor who has been immense this season in his general play. I for one think we have the capability to finish in the top 7 no doubt, but that is if the team stays fit and morale is as high now as when the bad times come. Its a fun group with loads of potential and I probably haven't been this excited since Sir Bobbys team, however there is no reasonable way to compare Modric to Cabaye or Barfa right now, he's a level above them and there's a reason Cabaye came here for peanuts (which might be the best deal of the summer in the whole world) and Modric had an offer of over £25million turned down. Not saying he's worth 5 times more, but he's a better player right now. We're not as good as Spurs on paper but hopefully come next sunday we'll be as good and better than them where it really matters.

Spot on. This is absolutely embarrassing. Ben Arfa to the same level as Modric and VDV. Don't forget Ben Arfa isn't the best player in France and Modric would get into that team every day of the week.

Van Marwijk is shit, dirty ass manager. Dirty dirty fucker.

Even if you tried to save yourself with that last paragraph, that was an utterly shit post. How can Marveaux 'obviously' be as good as Lennon? He hasn't kicked a ball for like 12 months and hasn't impressed that much in the last 15 months. Modric overrated? Possibly if you compare him with Xavi but I'd say he and David Silva are the most underrated in this league becuase they're far better than anyone else in their positions in this league. And Ekotto is obviously not Marcelo (not because Marcelo is anything special) but he's far better than anyone we got in leftback.

Ronaldo Such a class poster sometimes, love it.

Fucking hell, their team is better than ours on paper get a grip of yourselves ffs. I'm in agreement with kingdawson on all points bar the GK one because Friedel is crap and Krul has been class this season. For the rest possibly only Tiote, HBA and Colo would 'fit' into their team.

You know thats not really true though
