Unbelievable

Lita scores for England!

Italy score within 3 minutes.. Looks like England will need a win..

Dutch, and I thought you were just another idiot blaming a player for going to a much bigger club than us. The only way I could potentially have known you were joking, as in the context it isn't exactly crystal clear imho, is because you don't generally come across as an idiot.. Anyway, apologies I I offended you.. Keep working on that sense of humour of yours..

Heh? Completely over the top and uncalled for.. Don't think you get Irony do you kid? I understand the concept of irony, but it may just be the case that you are not very good at it.. Or pehaps the fact your brain can not comprihend it? Me thinks the latter! I'm not too worried about my cerebral functions, but thanks for caring.. So much for all English people having a good sense of humour..

Aye, he's crap and i would be disappointed if we signed him, but he's a class above what we've got at RB, shameful. "Melchiot > Solano" Not that much difference as right backs I would say. The fact that Solano is better than Carr in his natural position does not mean he qualifies as a good enough full back, does it? Could it be that we haven't seen good full backs play at Newcastle for so long now we don't know what constitutes a good full back and are happy to see somebody there who can handle at least one of defending and attacking at the required level, nevermind both? Anyway, I stand by what I said and will even go a little further: Baines + Melchiot > any full back pair Newcastle has had for at least the last three seasons

As it stands I have much, much more confidence in their two fullbacks than in ours..

me either, wonder how one of our ex managers spent his payoffs? By having a long break out of management and commenting on us as a club with big problems..

Heh? Completely over the top and uncalled for..

What a goal..

Entertaining first half..

Taylor error for that goal?

What's with that finger, Leroy?

Excellent cross and goal that..

From what you said earlier about him, I don't believe you think he is good enough for the Premiership (yet)?

Portugal are playing like mugs this tournament though..

Serbia you mean? Anyway, means your match tonight is a bit of a must win..

Rubbish. It's not like money is all Chelsea have over us at the moment. CL football, a real chance to actually win something, an extraordinary manager, etc. He will have talked to Mourinho or other Chelsea representatives and obviously feels he will be involved in the first team sufficiently. I think this type of comment is very much sour grapes and well strange considering money is what we usually throw in our transfer targets' faces in abundance to compete with potentially more attractive clubs careerwise..

His idol is Edgar Davids.. No surprise there.. Amazingly, first time Holland have qualified for the Olympics since 1952.

Good cross from the right wing from Drenthe this time, and he's also putting in some decent corners..

Good match this! Nice wizardry by Drenthe in the centre of midfield there

2-1.. Good goal from a free kick..

2-0.. Good play by Babel and Drenthe!

Drenthe plays mostly as a left back for Feyenoord, but prefers to play more offensively.. He's only 20 years old. As I said, he could be an option for us as a left back, seeing as we really need two. He loves life at Feyenoord however, so I can't see him changing clubs to be a backup player at this stage..

He doesn't seem to like the physical game.. Bodes well for him in the Premiership..
