You can have license to get forward as i'm more than happy to sit back/fill in.

Very arrogant statement. Slovakia (like most teams at that level) have some very decent players (thinking of Hamsik, Skrtel, Vittek, etc.). It is very important that England go out and handle their business quickly. Its hardly a test like playing France,Spain,Brazil,Argentina etc etc would be though is it? They'll come stick everyone behind the ball & be delighted with a draw. This is a team who've been beaten by Slovenia, Ukraine and Cyprus is recent games, who disrespect to them Id fancy England to beat & I'm no England fanboy, couldn't have given shit when they didn't qualify for the Euros - actually made it a better tournament as the coverage had no hype, make all non game time broadcasting time be England focused.

Aren't they playing Slovakia too? Seems a complete waste of time - not going to be particularly competitive as Slovakia are average at best.

Eugh hate international weekends. Yawnfest 2009

3 or 4 is way way better for me as i'll struggle to get home if its at 6pm kick off.

Actually detailed notes on the history of Vietnam is what Chris keeps on his clipboard should a pop quiz on the subject happen at short notice.

Good luck to the kid, hopefully gets some first team games under his belt. Donny play some decent passing football n all. Good move.

too early, thought it was gonna be 6 ish,,,,,,,,,,,, i wouldnt listen to me tho, cos im not sure i can make it. 3pm is much better - nice warm afternoon sweating off a hangover.

Seems like the Mail has cobbled together two quotes from different dates to try and make a story. Personally, I think Bruce would come IF we avoid relegation. A big if at the moment. I think they are freh comments. By preparing for preseason he will mean arranging friendlies etc. Shows just how far we have dropped now that Bruce is looking like a good option. Whilst everyone will agree in part, Bruce has also proved over the past 12 months that he is a better manger than he was 4 years ago, so there is a bit of pull and bit of push to thinking he is a decent option now Definitely. Whilst they are not always brilliant to watch Wigan are a very effective team who play to their strengths well. Even more so considering they lost 2 parts of the backbone of their team in Jan.

If they're adidas the authentic ones will have the lining in or some shit. Just get a replica one.

If Bruce was ever going to distance himself from Newcastle now would have been the perfect time with us in real danger of relegation. The fact he is still wondering if the chance will ever come again in public suggests to me that he's very much interested if we don't get relegated. For those who think he won't work under Ashley, let's not forget he's working under possibly the biggest cunt of all in Dave Whelan and at a far shitter club. Any offence to Wigan fans purely intentional. Bruce has carte blanche to do what he likes in terms of players and set up at Wigan, unless the system changes he won't here. Bruce has shown he is probably better than Wise at Wises role too with some of the lesser known foreigners he's picked up (Palacios, Figueroa,Zaki,Scharner etc)

Case got thrown out i think

aye, really enjoyed that.

Right Full Back or Def Mid please. Hmm, you might have to join (?) replace me in central midfield. We play with two box-to-box centre-mids Dunno if i'll be able to do box to box like. Fitness isn't going to be a strong point.

Their fans are livid. Why? Would've thought it makes little/no difference or did Whelan fuck them about?

The amount of players that cant cross a dead ball across the leagues is farcical

Right Full Back or Def Mid please.

25 goals in 27 league matches this season says it all. 102 goals in 135 league matches since joining Barcelona. He's been consistantly world class for the past 5 seasons, regardless of the players he's been playing with. He also does make quite a few goals for himself fwiw and is very capable of running at defenders and taking them on. For me.. Eto'o, Torres and Villa are the 3 best strikers in the world, it's very close between them. No one else comes close. Absolutely spot on. Although Id argue Drogba, van Nistelrooy and Benzema aren't far off Drogba and Benzema haven't been that good at all really. I rate Ibra and Henry above any of those three. not this season i agree but on top of their game they are

I'd prefer to play for the Blues as i don't have any red tops

that documentary that was made with Christopher Ecclestone is well worth a watch for anyone thats not seen it btw

Torres definitlely ahead of Eto'o. Half the time I think Eto'o looks ****, its just because he's got Messi, Henry, Xavi and Iniesta setting it up on a plate for him. Top scorer in the history of African Nations and thats with Geremi supplying though...

Casillas Dani Alves Vidic Rio Evra Gerrard Xavi Iniesta Ronaldo Messi Torres/Eto'o

Been superb this season which is what he's up for? Don't see the problem.

Messi but honorable mentions to Casillas, Iniesta, Villa, Eto'o and Torres EDIT: and Dani Alves
