Even if we beat Ukraine we wont finish the top of the group unless France f*ck things up royally... So Spain it is. No way in hell we are stifling Spain, even Italy who is going to lock down Pirlo & Cassano from combining? it's very very unlikely imo we would have to get ridiculously lucky even the Croat's we would struggle to get past IMO. Ok we scraped past a very poor Sweden side or apart from Ibra is full of very poor players ( some of which ply their trade at the bottom of the Premier League or Championship) but lets not go nuts we are still very poor and haven't really shown anything that would suggest we could oust Spain, Italy or even Croatia. Pirlo and Cassano.

Demba's suprlus to requirements apparently. Aye, he's only started just about every game he's been available for since August.

Think something is getting lost in translation a little bit. That's the second time I've seen Newcastle described as 'a sad place' by a Frenchman.

He's referring to the assist he got against France also. He is now.

Ribery needs help, man. What is he playing at, presenting himself like that?

Gerrard was crap apart from his assist I thought. He only got one, by the way.

Nah, Rooney and Welbeck play well together.

He answered that when we went down. Did you miss that hilarious 6 months?

Why? He's a decent defensive midfielder no doubt, but his disciplinary record, his recent injury record and his lesser performances against 'weaker' opposition mean we could probably pick up a decent replacement for a fraction of the fee he'd command. I'd be more concerned about the worrying signal it would send to our better player as opposed to a lack of faith in being able to replace him. Agree with that.

I love how detractors always use keepers as a convenient detachment from the rest of the team. Good job I live down here because if I heard nonsense like that I'd throw punches. Like that arsehole bint Louise Taylor virtually blaming Harper for us winning the Championship.

Which Father Ted references? Apart from the above.

Is der more to Ireland dan dis? No.

Seriously though, if they ever manage to qualify for one of these or a WC again they should just be banned from it. Bring nothing but filth, disease and bad football.

Ireland are a disgrace to the tournament.

Nothing, and I never said there was. See above for the nonsense I took issue with.

"Top, top players like Shay Given and Damien Duff."

Cassy Ass.

Not a real side in the way Italy have looked. What utter crap, man.

You really are a fucking douchebag at times, HTT.

I reckon Marchisio might just be the one that swings both ways.

When did Larry David manage Chile?

It's hilarious. It sounds like two tribal African drunks chanting in preparation to bugger someone.

Mauritania I'll give you. Italian one is OK, but not up to the Russian standard.

Jesus. Not that I'm totally surprised by this news.
