Fucking hell, I suppose that's one way of solving that problem

I mean, yeah, we were shit, they played well, we deserved to lose. But surely there should be some sort sanction against the home team for this? Right, AFC sanctioning an Arab nation.

Would be surreal seeing Leon Best play at Euros.

I....I know how it feels. You would

Fucking useless UAE lost AGAIN, so if we lose against Kuwait at home in February we'll be out of the World Cup without even going to the final round of qualifiers. The absolute fucking meltdown on a national level might be almost as exciting as the World Cup itself. Bit of a dilemma here for us. The manager is clearly a broken man and needs to be sacked, but at the same time we have an important mach coming up that we should be able to win as long as we don't massively unsettle the team.

I think their training must be pretty lax. As a young player over here he would have been used to fairly intense training regimes. Probably finds it hard to get back into that rhythm when he's with the national team now

No idea what the fuckers have been doing with Ji to be honest. His fitness levels have become shocking since joining sunderland.

Just realized: South Korea manager on the ropes. Hiddink packing his bags in Turkey. It's time

Excellent win for my birth nation woo! Couldn't get to watch the match, were Lebanon relatively impressive? They were quite good away in Kuwait! Hope this means we're more likely to qualify now! Lebanon were very impressive. I don't know how they've randomly become so good. Usual comments about deliberately s*** pitch/fans with laser pointers/arab refs sticking up for their bros apply though. Gotcha You should be alright to go through though obviously We should annihilate Kuwait comfortably at home. Think the manager might go for this. Looks a broken man in the interviews, going crazy blaming the players.

Jesus Christ. Heads need to roll for this farce. Worst I've ever seen us play.

Lebanon 2-1 up against Korea I don't know how to put this.. They're.. Umm... Good?

It always becomes harder when other people start catching up to your methods. It happened for Billy Beane and to a degree it's happened to Arsene Wenger. It's up to the club to further innovate and continue to find untapped sources of value in the transfer market once everyone else starts overcrowding France.

See, a sensible riposte. You've actually come on leaps and bounds as a poster this year. A true pleasure to debate with when you occasionally drop the self-absorbed pretty boy facade. ....what!?

As I said, "vaguely similar" really. They're both big lads who don't necessarily open up space for each other as the mythical "Bellamy type" would. I see the sort of difference in movement you mention as more tactical instruction than inherent difference in style really.

I'd be willing to accept this move with reservations if I believed that he actually intended to sell the naming rights for revenue instead of just using it as an advertising vehicle for Sports Direct. I don't though.

Well, that was unexpected.

He also happens to be God.

Once I saw you come up as the latest poster, I pretty much knew exactly what you'd posted.

We're doing pretty well right now with two forwards of vaguely similar style playing up front.

Wrong. Looks leggy on Youtube. Too similar to Shola. All bad black players look alike, of course.

When you see a club suddenly going all-out to sign a player who's not necessarily a big name, as we seem to be doing with Maiga, it's generally because they've seen something that indicates that he'll definitely make it. Given our scouting team's track record, I'm quietly confident that this will be a fantastic signing.

We've had a red and blue striped away kit before. 06-07 was the most recent I think. I personally think it's fairly likely. Should go smashingly with the SD.com shirt sponsor.

The number of minor "feuds" going on in this board is ridiculous sometimes. I can't even keep track of all of them.

Reebok barely even exists anymore
