Nice kit, needed to be off white/cream, shorts tho surely??

I think this England squad is still in the development stage, to get to a quater final or semi final will be massive. The experience from this to take into the euros will be massive and then on to the next world cup.

We just have to win the game, doesn't matter how well we play.

:lol:

wow :lol: :lol:

Yeah but our transfer record was from 2007?!?! The world of football has moved on since then.

:lol:

Oh well, I liked the lad. Never mind.

How much did we pay for Ritchie ?

Just leave the bairn in the hotel room marra. Areet Gerry.

Just talking to the WBA fan at work, he reckons Rondon is off to Turkey.

15 max I reckon. Strange market mind. We paid £10m or so didn't we, since then he's ripped the championship to shreds before getting injured and garbage getting bought and sold down there for £15m like it's pretend money. I think any team sniffing at promotion should really be looking at him as he does the business in that league.

I did say 15 max.

Just leave the bairn in the hotel room marra.

15 max I reckon.

£16,5m apparently. Quite a high release clause, is he even that good? I never really paid much attention to him as a striker, it's not like he was scoring a hatful of goals. He's a decent player - for 16m I'd look elsewhere If we are int he market for 27 mil strikers I would look elsewhere, if we aren't in the market for a 27 mil striker and Rafa is forced into the lower end of the market then I thihnk Rondon would fit the bill for Ashley's spending controls. Id be fairly happy with Rondon if AShley has tight controls over us/Rafa again.

Any good? No idea, but know nowt about him other than he was highly rated at one point. Says this on his wiki about his style of play though Sounds like a Rafa player.

Any good?

For about 10/15 mins I thought Columbia would have a man sent off. They went full Escobar for a while.

I've been wanting to post for ages about this world cup and how it's highlighted how certain teams and styles can properly fuck up so called better ones. Japan and South Korea are two good examples, but there's also Croatia struggling against Scandos. Point being I will be very surprised if Sweden is anything but a massive struggle. England don't do well against organised teams they can't dominate physically. Aye, ive been catching up with SSN this morning, everyone is getting a bit ahead of themselves. This Swedish will be nails, im hopeful but they will be a bastard to beat.

Sweden will be tough, they'll keep it compact and look to steal a chance. I dont think weve beaten Sweden in a finals since 1958 ??

Its just about winning games, Germany, the Argies and Italy etc have done this shit for years. Its about time we blagged through a round or two.

I think the don has been tweeting about a 10 million hidden debt that they never accouted for and will be looking for loans to cover the costs.

That kit :lol:
