aye, you say that now that mourinho is no longer in the country Er, yes, I do. Good spot.

Bilic: "It's much easier to play against a team with one up front." Can they loop that sentence on repeat all night until every manager in the country gets the message?

You know it's a shit joke when you need to qualify it with "not mine."

Nobody cares about what you will be doing James.

"We started badly" No shit steve.

Na. Germany. Easily. Spain.

You're not ITK enough Dave. You have to pay for the hosting at least twice to have access to the "Turkey Deal" details.

Turkey qualified, yes. All is working out well for the "Turkey Deal" then. Wise move by the N-O admins as per usual.

Parky is worse than Dave.

Well said.

England are better than Dave.

They are on par with his tie. They are marginally better than his forehead wrinkles.

Hey, season two of heroes is actually good. It is compared to Norway.

England are worse than heroes season two.

Haha.

Well observed.

Somebody pressed the "Mute Lawro" button.

Agreed.

If we score now it will actually be a travesty.

Team, tactics, motivation. All rubbish. All McClaren's fault.

Anybody who deletes my smiley will actually be killed.

Sitting too deep. Had it coming. Bye bye steve.

I think there's a tendency to overrate Martins on here, but I agree that he should be in the team ahead of Owen at the moment (if Owen wasn't injured, that is), if just on his Goals Scored tally. The fact is, the only argument for including Owen in the side is that he is "a better goalscorer." There's no other element of his game that is particularly superior to Martins. He is less pacey, is generally technically inferior, and he doesn't cover anywhere close to the same amount of ground. Therefore, if he is also falling behind as a "goalscorer" - his one and only real strength - it's pretty illogical to say that he should be in the team really.

Russia were fucking woeful.

Such awesome smiley usage
