See to me that is a good suggestion, but if you say it to a woman they'll be all "that's sexist you fuck." Women are traditionally smaller than men, deal with it.

You think!? http://www.goal.com/en/news/91/portugal/2010/08/30/2095634/portugal-coach-carlos-queiroz-suspended-for-six-months-by

2-0 then, Wellbeck and Albrighton.

England Under 21s vs Lithuania Under 21s just about to kick off on ESPN.

He doesn't bother his arse, he has the work ethic of a slug. In a team like Northern Ireland's you need 11 grafters or else it just doesn't work.

Crafty ginge, deserved red but the keeper would probably have got it

Ex-mag Lewis Guy scores for MK Dons, Hartlepool have been organised but haven't shown much going forward

That's just how much he wants it man

He's a player-coach.

This. 2 weeks between games is shit, especially when we've just had 4 games following 3 months without club football. Then in a month's time it happens again, boils my piss. And the games are on Friday nights now, what the fuck am I going to do on Saturday afternoon!?

I think they've rolled the dice on most of their signings, could go either way. There's only Onuoha and Mensah who they know what to expect from, and one of them will only play a relatively low percentage of the games.

Harper wouldn't have come off his line to catch said bollock in the first place so there's no chance of him dropping it

They play Ridgewell at left back and he is a centre back so it's a cow's opinion really

I have a horrible feeling Wigan will be ok. They've almost been too bad too early, things can only improve from those first 2 games and few expected them to win at Spurs but Spurs barely turned up that day. They'll struggle but I think they'll pick up points where it matters. Blackpool will fall away soon enough, West Ham are a mess and West Brom look like their usual "lovely football no goals" team. Think it'll be tight though, I was half expecting Birmingham to struggle but they've bought well and are similar to us - good team spirit etc. Stoke are a weird side, they've got some good players but so far this season it seems their luck has ran out, they've had a tough start though and you'd back them in a relegation battle due to Delap being able to make most throw ins an attacking situation. We'll be down there but should be ok, as long as Ben Arfa is the player he looks and Carroll stays fit. If I had to pick a random side to struggle it'd be Wolves. They were outplayed by us for a long time on Saturday and whilst they have some very good players, a lot of them are basically Championship players. McCarthy has done well there but he's unproven at midtable Premiership level, and I think it shows when his tactics against a recently promoted side at home was to kick shit out of them. Also they have Jody Craddock at centre half ffs. Annoyingly they usually get results and will probably be fine and I'll look like a dick but I'm willing to risk it.

Song couldn't even get in Cameroon's midfield

Yep, can't see him being in the 18 anytime soon especially now. Would probably have started at Stamford Bridge in the Carling Cup but now he'll be suspended for that, so another opportunity goes begging for him. See you in January for an FA cup tie son.

I wonder if this increases our chances of getting another striker in on loan. We do have 2 weeks, don't we? No.

Yep, no goals.

They didn't get squad numbers (Ferdinand, McCartney, Healy etc) so they are reserve team players to all intents and purposes

29 Mins: Wow, that took some stopping. Sol Campbell assuredly brings the ball out of his own half and builds a head of steam. It takes two Sunderland bodies to stop the former Arsenal man, who goes crashing into the ground hard.

This is all sorts of horrible.

There are 25 in that list but not all of them need to be registered. Can we leave off Gosling (in favour of Kadar, Vuckic or Tavernier) and then alter the squad of 25 (we register with the FA) in January? Surely the squad list is resubmitted after January anyway, or there'd be hardly any transfers. It is re-submitted at the end of the January window if the fountain of all knowledge (FM) is to be believed

Matterface works for talksport now aka bullshit radio

Ranger, 1-0

For those who care, Xisco is on the left, Ranger and Lovenkrands through the middle.
