Oh, + it blatantly wouldn't be decided in time.

If they wanted to appeal and go through all that I'm sure they could, and I'm sure he'd be fine... maybe... but I guess it's just not worth it. It's not like we're playing anyone of any quality, it'll be more of a match-fitness tour where we change up the starting XI a load imo. He'll be back for the BIG games in England.

No

It's not really that indepth. I think it's far more likely that when traveling on holiday under the visa waiver program, he simply didn't declare that he had a record. It's not like its much different in the UK. We didn't let Snoop Dog in man.

So they sign Matthew Upson Aye, well they're still Wolves, they're not gonna bring in anyone who is actually good, but shit Matty Upson is still a considerable step up from that ginger mackum cernt

They play Jody Craddock. I think they just need better defenders.

The draft system is good for equality, but that's about it. The manner in which players are treated, thrown about from place-to-place, would just never happen in the UK, and most other civilized nations.

Nah

oh and you can't just force a player to go to some city in the middle of nowhere against his will as well, likelihood of a player agreeing to goto a team, knowing that he's not wanted, is pretty slim.

renegotiate. This isn't a dictatorship like the US sports systems, these are regular work contracts. You join a new job, you negotiate your contract at that new job.

Likelihood of two teams wanting an available player from one-another is slim, no?

They're sponsored by a country? Not even the tourist board of a country, or a website... just... MALAYSIA. I wish we were sponsored by a country SIERRA LEONE. Mint.

In those photos.... Jose's body language... http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4016/bodylanguage.png Might as well have been wearing his Liverpool Kit

Yeah got sent off within seconds in the semi.

+ he's the guy that has already said negative stuff about le toon

I am going to use my psychic magic super powers to predict that he is Under 19. Given that the offer is £50 for under 19s.

They shouldn't be omitted, but they shouldn't be bunched together with starts imo.

2 more years of Stuart Pearce @ U-21s... http://bbc.in/nu41Op England Under-21 head coach Stuart Pearce has signed a new two-year deal. Pearce's new contract comes despite England's failure this summer to advance past the group stage of the European Under-21 Championships. But FA chairman David Bernstein pointed to an "excellent" qualifying campaign as well as Pearce's ability to prepare young players for the rigours of senior international football. Pearce led England to the final of the 2009 Under-21s Championships. The former England, Nottingham Forest and Coventry left-back also works as a member of Fabio Capello's staff coaching the senior squad. Pearce said: "I am delighted to have signed my new contract and to be able to continue in a role I very much enjoy. "In my time with the England Under-21s we have experienced an excellent record and my aim now is to qualify for Israel in 2013 and hopefully go on to secure silverware with another exciting group of young players. "It remains a privilege for me to represent my country and contribute to the FA's work at international level." FA chairman David Bernstein added: "Continuity is vital as we continue to build our club ethos, and Stuart is an important member of the England coaching structure. "I know he was as disappointed as anyone at the Under-21s' most recent tournament results at the European Championships in Denmark, but we mustn't forget the team had an excellent qualifying campaign and continues to produce young players ready and prepared for senior team experience." The Under-21s will begin their qualifying campaign at home to Azerbaijan in September before trips to Iceland and Norway the following month.

"Pointless" Zlatan 'More than a goal every 2 games' Ibrahimovic

Bearing in mind very few people here are actually American, and you tried to defend Brasil by using the Rivaldo incident as your defence, I'm not too convinced you're going to win this argument.

Brasil were cheating up a storm. When they went ahead in ET it was fucking painful watching them roll around and waste time for 25 minutes. Deserved to lose, bunch of cunts.

Why would a player who has proven time-after-time that a) he's not good enough for the Premier League, and b) he isn't going to get any better... command a higher fee?

So does this 100% confirm that neither Manchester game in November will be moved? Needs to plan my shit

Not arsed that hes off personally. Farewell shit bag.

Good shit that was. Felt like I was watching real football.
