Agreed. This is what the qualifiers are for, you'd think they were getting a bye into the tournament the way they go on. As if two fixtures against a minnow every 2 years is such a chore for the millionaires If it means fewer boring as fuck International weekends, then I'm all for it tbh

Did he play for France yesterday?

You're alright, he's marking James McClean. Fucking hell, that side of the pitch is going to be fucking horrible Wilson and McClean for Ireland, Lustig and Larsson for Sweden

Mikael Lustig starting at RB for Sweden, Ireland should have a good chance of winning if they attack the right hand side; he is fucking useless

Would be fucking lovely if he could play against Benfica.

yep http://www.nufcdirect.com/score-draw-newcastle-united-fc-short-sleeve-retro-home-shirt-mens-945303 Such a great shirt that, everything from the collar to the simple design and a great sponsor, it's fucking beautiful.

Guess who wins again.

A bit sad to see him leave, shame that we don't want him to stick around as a coach. Would be nice if he got a start against Arsenal.

I'm not. I saw him f***ing do it. Back injuries can be very difficult to confirm by medical examination. It's an old trick for agents to advise players who want to leave to say they've got a back injury. So his agent went "I'll tell you what Colo, do a f***ing wicked overhead kick near the corner flag against Southampton and we'll say you've knacked your back"? I somehow doubt it. I'd also like to think the club and its doctors have enough of a grip on this newfangled x-ray technology to see if he has actually broken his back. It's conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory on here sometimes. Exactly, the club have come out and said 'he has broken 2 bones in his back' ... I'm sure they checked for themselves Unless they're in on the conspiracy Honestly, I wouldn't be that surprised. Can see the club and him having come to an agreement that he is allowed to return to Argentina, but the club pays him less, as we feel confident in Taylor and Yanga-Mbiwa. That is also the reason why we've been given such a vague return date for Colo, "3-8 weeks" or something like that, wasn't it? Should Taylor break again, we'll tell Colo to get his arse back here. Obviously completely baseless speculation, and I realise I sound like Parky, but I wouldn't be hugely surprised if that was the case.

Congratulations Davide

I'm seriously doubting his injury now tbh.

I would love to know your insight into the Ukrainian and Russian leagues injuries Btw, didn't Willian get injured against us?

That's just fantastic news.

Are you Callum McManaman?

If Barcelona can play with a CM at CB, then surely England can

Hope to fuck it's "one of those" injuries where he pulls out of meaningless U21 games because we're absolutely fucking fucked if he gets injured.

Fuck that, they deserve to go down now more than ever. Hope we draw them (at home) in one of the cups and we sign a bunch of cloggers just for that game to beat the living shite out of them. Yes I'm petty about this, fucking livid with this whole situation.

First thing he does is a deliberate hand ball to stop our attack. Little shit, hope he's kicked to fuck soon.

Ashley needs to be on the phone to all Millwall players telling them about a nice 5 year contract for whoever does the little scouse cunt in in the semi final.

You've got to be fucking kidding me? After that horror show on Sunday (not just this tackle and their late goal, he gave them everything throughout the game), he shouldn't even be allowed to ref Notts County because they also play in black & white.

Who is the assistant referee that claims he saw the incident btw? Will be very fucking interesting to see where he is refereeing next weekend, if at all. Absolutely fucking seething regarding this like, fucking disgrace of the highest order. Fuck off FA, fuck off Halsey and your shit assistants, fuck off Wigan, fuck off Welan, fuck off McManaman.

It would be a very dull thread. I'm not against the idea of keeping the McManaman stuff out of our Haidara thread though tbh.

Great news, very well deserved.

Aye.
