Aye, he's off to Milan. They've signed Keylor Navas from Levante though who had a better season last year and a great World Cup. They should have probably flogged Casillas to be honest but Lopez is too good to sit on the bench. Cheers... Bizarre decision as IC is going downhill IMO and also think he's been overrated his whole career... That's why they signed Keylor Navas.

And it's only really now that a lot of Irish fans actually appreciate how good he's been for us now that we have nobody to put the ball in the fucking goal if he isn't playing There could also be someone who is still playing from the top 13 nations who has scored more goals than robbie keane, but less than the top scorer from their nation. Doubt it.. but it's possible.

and because tax breaks

Also, everyone looks like they have a fat gut in this kit.

My thoughts too! The last few days, when hearing about the game, I thought with it being in Cardiff, it was the Millenium. Only this morning, tuning into SSN did I notice they were training and will be playing at the Cardiff City stadium! How much did Vincent Tan pay to get the game played there? Gonna be class next year man. I hear Tbilisi is lovely this time of year.

No chance Sissoko isn't RW like.

Get to see your man Pards victorious in ridding the club of its best player then its just gone beyond tedious. Face facts he's not going to play again for the club and I don't think this will change regardless of who's manager. And if he is really serious about getting back in the team actively pissing off the club hierarchy with this and the previous going behind the clubs back to the press is not the way to go about it. Some of us fight the system, some of us meekly fall in line. Perhaps Hatem has a backbone.

It's been done to death man. We've just been sat on our hands waiting for this to pan out. It's nowt to do with everything being better in the good ol' days.

People vehemently disagree with your opinion. They never said you shouldn't express it, they just think you're a pleb for thinking that way. What do you expect? A polite nod?

This would be a fine analogy, but you didn't mention the fact that the company is absolute fucking shite, and the only time they've ever shown any potential for being something other than shite, has been because of said "disruptive" member of staff.

Fucking Luque just sneaking in there. That list is riddled with shite.

f***ing hell, same here. Worst realization for me is that I'm going to be well into my 40s before I can attend a world cup. Bearing in mind, f*** Russia & f*** Qatar. Fingers crossed FIFA steals it from Qatar and gives it to the U.S. Otherwise it's gonna be a long time, as 2026 will probably go to some other shithouse country, f***ing Bolivia or something. It'll have to be Oz if they take it off Qatar surely? They were in the running too right with the us? I think they'd take the easier option of keeping it in the same federation. I'll be in my 50's if not. Christ. The justification for the US is that they basically don't have to do anything to be able to host it, would this apply for Australia? Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_venues_in_Australia I'm not 100% certain that a list of stadiums in Australia constitutes a concrete answer to the question.

Fuck off.

gol

overhead and shoulders above the rest like

who cares. Pardew etc.

Well they just conceded their third goal, so it's not going great. 3-3.

This fulham lineup is ridiculous. The only player who really started last year is Scott Parker. Rest are all youths/noobs/11m of shite scotsman.

Missed 19 minutes of this shit and it's already 3-0. Stupid Barca.

I wish I could see what you constantly harp on about regarding Colback. To me, he looks absolutely bang average, 6/10, areet but nothing special at all. That's all well and good but when he's going to be keeping a terrific player like Anita on the bench because of our dinosaur manager, I fail to see your optimism regarding the deal. For some time now, we have had a very dysfunctional midfield who struggle to create much on the deck. They have either lacked confidence or lacked ability in passing and receiving the ball. We often see passes designed to keep the ball rather than use it. It goes sideways or backwards, often behind the receiver because the passer isn't confident enough to play it into someone's stride. The result is that the opposition find it very easy to put pressure on us, the ball finds it way back to the keeper or the back four, who then have no choice but to hoof it long because the entire team is on the back foot, with no-one in space. What Colback does, better and more consistently than any of our other midfield players, is he's able to lift his head up, if necessary switch direction, and pass the ball forwards into the receiver's stride. Nothing spectacular or particularly eye-catching, but the momentum of the team is then forwards rather than backwards, mobile and not static. That is why Pardew is playing him, and Allardyce and Poyet wanted him. He's a decent tackler too. That first paragraph is spot on. That second paragraph is shite. Colback is the exact type of player you're saying that we do not need.

Don't give a shit about Colback either way, I shall berate him for the comedy panto element, nothing more, but your "this is a business, first and foremost", can fuck right off.
