Ronaldo

Otter was just being ridiculous, as per usual.

He did. As did Boumsong in one game.

Didn't he play RB last season? How many goals has he scored so far in this campaign?

Didn't the senior team score 13 on their last trip to San Marino? Or something equally as ludicrous. Aye, 13-0 it finished. The funny thing was, they last updated it at 9-0 and me and my best assumed it had finished that way. Apparently the guy doing the updates (during the England game) had got sick of it.

If he was shuffling 72 minutes in he sounds a lot fitter than Nolan After 20 minutes of play, Nolan runs towards goal at 5 minute intervals then walks back to the halfway line.

No that's Arshavin No, that's Maradona.

I love him even more after hearing that.

has a cock like a coke can Source? He was a member at the David LLoyd in South Gosforth and apparently used to taunt the Marines by getting out the tripod in the sauna.

How was Bramble a prick?

when was his ability being disputed? You dont think his attitude during pre season could have soured any return for him? He was the only player to visably show his desire to get away by petty squabbles on the pitch and strops while leaving it. Even Bassong put in a half shift when picked. You asked 'why would we take him back?' That's the only reason I can think of.

Because he's a good defender?

Dabizas was bought when G Caldwell was 15 years old, what on earth are you talking about? O'Brien was brought in when Caldwell was 18 on the back of some good performances for Bradford in the premiership. Neither were sterling but Dabizas in particular was a competent premiership defender in his day.

It'll be Lovenkrands - Ranger surely?

Yes but Gary Caldwell was judged correctly, not good enough for the premiership.

eh?

Explored, absolutely. You said that you would be happy to see them start, I presumed you were on about the WC.

It's all about how they play together, not how good they are as individuals for their respective clubs. That's why Italy won it last time with Marco Materazzi as their top scorer.

How many times have Cole and Rooney played together? Bad bad idea, unless he signs for Man U and they develop an incredible partnership.

Where's Messi gone? Shame he couldn't admit his mistake like a real son of Norn Iron. Well if the mackem said it.....

Rooney played off Ruud. Is that too difficult for you to understand? And it was 2 seasons.

As a striker I'd take Shearer over Rooney any day. Rooney playing off Shearer, now that would have been sublime. Rooney plays too deep to play off people. Lineker would work much better. Defo take Shearer over Rooney though. Al in his prime is in a completely different league to anything Rooney's produced thus far. To be honest I don't even know why I'm replying to one of your posts in this thread. But the opening statement is complete nonsense given the way Rooney and Van Nistelrooj played together.

Jade Goody started it.

Truth be told I was 11 when Shearer had his injury and I never watched England's games with the same concentration I did for say a Monday night football between Leicester and Man City. My opinion isn't as valid as it could be but it would take an awful lot to beat Rooney who's always looked pretty damn brilliant in an England shirt imo.
