Germany Italy final I reckon. On another point, should they do away with extra time? We've had 2 extremes in 2 games - one good example of going for the win (Russia) and 2 teams playing for penalties - dunno what Holland were playing at! However, off the top of my head there were 3 bookings leading to suspensions, one injury to a key player and 2 overly tired teams in the semis. Potentially leading to less exciting games. 90 mins, then pens BUT..... each player on the pitch has to take one.

Feyenoord away. Had played footy that afternoon and had taken a kick to the eye socket (was a keeper). Was on some fairly strong painkillers and eye was closing but got some free WKDs in the Union at John Moores (Liverpool). Loads of Geordies in there at the time going mental, went out and pulled a cracking Irish lass despite the purple eye after. Found out the next day I had a fractured eye socket.

We're gonna win 10-9

Thats a mock up isn't it? Please....? Edit: Checked the site, my god thats awful! Kev's birthday present from his Mam sorted then

according to? Is he the Fame Academy Bloke?

He will go to Real next summer for a fee argreed now.

Why? We needed forwards, we signed two. I don't think Owen was a panic buy as we were chasing him all summer.

Maybe ZsP wouldn't agree a fee with anyone pre Euros. They'd have been daft to do so really

Heard an interesting snippet today.... The max basic wage Ashley is willing to offer any player is £60k BUT....... clauses will be included that mean should we ever win anything Owen would become the best paid player in England atm for that year. Oh and the suit thing is a load of bollocks

I don't see why KK would be going to the training ground now anyway. Shirley he has a plush office/broom cupboard at SJP

Remind me how Spurs signed Modric again. Different flying out to see a chairman who isn't on holiday to flying out to a player and disturbing a holiday

Shame to see it go but Old Skool Match was the daddy for me

dunno but noticed Peru got battered 6-0 by Uruguay the other day Speaking of south americans Zarate has apparently had an offer from 1 EPL club....doubt it`s us http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_3703003,00.html Pompey

Well done, now have a go at the other prophets of doom. Going straight to the top - NE5!

Realistic yes. Depends who the alternatives are though for whether I'd want him. I don't think he's a great deal more than Milner with pace. £7m for Milner, £5m for Lennon then I'd take it (assuming similar wages etc). Lennons pace gives us a better option than Milner if we want to vary 4-3-3 and 4-4-2. Also remember when Gillespie first signed he was all pace a varied end product. Only really kicked on after the summer. I know Lennon is a bit older, but given the right targets to aim for maybe........... In that scenario then yes obviously I would too - it's an upgrade for less money. My point was that if the choice is between Lennon and SWP, I'd want the latter as it's more of an upgrade IMO. If SWP is available, I'd be disappointed if we went for Lennon. Agreed, I'd happily pay £12-£15m for SWP if Milner was going for £7-£9m Having said that, I hear BWP may be offloaded from Soton. At the price I've heard he'd be a steal

Shiteam is that you ?? Remind me who has finished above us over the past two seasons? Oh yeah, villa! A Whole two seasons ! Fantastic ! Villa have a far more promising future than us. Do they s****. Right now they do. They have the much better squad, a stable manager, are in momentum and regaining lost respect in the footballing world. And about to lose their best player. And? Villa will still finish ahead of us without Barry and be near £20m richer or have Bentley and Sidwell and take another leap away from us. no matter how realistic i am, why would Bentley join Villa from Blackburn?? about the same standard. Europe? Or the choice between Sam/McClown and O'Neill ok a long time since i am positive. i say we are in for a shout if Bentley considers Villa. no harm trying. First attempt and I think I've broken him!

I think he's better from the left at crossing. Probably because he likes to cut back on himself so he gets a better angle

Would love this to drag on until after we play them to be honest. An unsettled Ronaldo, an uncertain Fergie, lack of replacements yet etc etc

Ahh come on, the bloke asked a genuine question, no need to send him miles out of his way just for a joke. Portsmouth is the station you need my good friend

An obvious but somewhat necessary fyp

...until the fixtures are changed for TV and Europe. As soon as I posted that I thought oh oh, potential banning!

No Super Smashing Great Sunday this time. 2 weekends of ManU v Citeh and Arse Chelski the nearest you get
