He's a perrenial loser though. Also the best international manager on the planet. That is a good point though, he's never actually won anything.

best. tournament. ever. When's the last time there wasn't a late goal in the game? Still banking on Russia. Never bet against a Hiddink side.

My God. Another amazing comeback from the Turks. Would love it if they won the whole thing. Love it. Although since Tuncay and Arda are suspended for the semis, while Nihat may be injured, they might not have much of a chance...

should be more fun now at least. why on Earth are they playing that absurd music after the goals.

Germany actually passing better than Portugal Ronaldo having a shitter of shitters. Love it.

Anyone notice his teammate Sabri? Midget, but obviously has excellent technique and vision. Only 23 been playing first team football at Galatasary for five seasons now. I'm no expert and this is just going off thirty minutes, so don't take this too seriously, but seemed canny.

Arda vs Modric Good vs Evil . Battle for a place in Spurs' starting 11 next season?

Croatia v Turkey should be a brilliant game.

what a game, what a game. Would love to be Turkish right now. Must feel just like we did v. Italy and Spain in 2002. Terry and Cech to cry their eyes out together in a bar?

no more subs. Will be fucking amazing if this goes to pens

Volkan sent off. Do they even have more subs? Like I said, love the turks.

I would pay good money to be Turkish for a day right now.

OMGWTF

oh God, amazing. I love Turkey. Love the country, love the people, love their footy. Best game of the tourney so far.

what a pass from Sabri. Looking canny today. If Turkey do come back today, this just might be Arda's star turn.

Not necessarily a good thing, since it could scupper his move to Fener.

General moaning about how s*** things were here and how playing in midfield was going to hinder his international prospects (even though KK hadn't played him yet). Anyhow, that wasn't why I had come to post here... Anyone else think Rozehnal looked excellent yesterday? He was very comfortable on the ball, and defended in a very composed manner, making no noticeable errors. You can see why he was highly-rated pre Newcastle. Obviously Premier League football is a different kettle and fish and made him look like a complete mess, but was that thanks to the Allardyce style? Perhaps a team that focuse more on attack than defence would suit his obvious ability. Its a tough call, but I hope that Keegan is watching. I think he's got quality, but it seems the best Premiership attacking players are either just too strong or just too fast for him. Was very good against the turks, but they were a pretty small/slow bunch. Probably would have had a future as a squad player if he didn't go mouth off to the media like an idiot. I don't think Keegan will ever forgive him for that.

"journos" like that should be writing fiction full time. Or is that already their job description? not that I don't think Advocaat is brilliant, would have been chuffed if we had gotten him before Keegan came in.

Can't understand why Hughes would prefer City over Chelsea. If he snubbed them for any other club I would just think he didn't want a crazy fucker like Roman as a boss, but City...

Injury-prone former big 4 player who's career has been on a downward spiral for a couple of years. http://kr.goal.com/resultsimg/3985.jpghttp://www.4thegame.com/media/00/03/45/celestine_babayaro.jpghttp://sameoldshearer.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/duff.jpghttp://www.4thegame.com/media/00/04/07/alan_smith.jpg Who knows, it could still work out! ...Right?

SOLD! I'd class myself as a Milner fan and I really think he's a key part of our squad. ...Whatever. SOLD!

Does satilik degil mean "for sale"? No, it means "Spurs player"

I think we can all agree that when we beat Tottenham to Duff for a paltry 5 million pounds, everyone here thought it was a damn good piece of business. At least, I know I did. Didn't turn out that way, but I don't think it's fair to knock the decision-making capabilities of the previous regime based on the Duff buy... We've got dozens of better examples if we want to do that.

If he's that good why are 'shiteholes like Portsmouth' his best option? that's what i'd like to know Get real pls. As stated in my previous posts, Pompey is obviously a better proposition. If we are to compete for players with the likes of Spurs and Pompey, we will lose out as we are a lesser club. We are only big because of our crowd. It also these statements saying Portsmouth are shiteholes that make us butt of jokes for our constant delusion that we are great. Sad but true..but have accepted this fact long time ago. Btw, as revealed in an interview Utaka in France, he rejected us even though we offer higher wages cos he wants regular football but he did add, Portsmouth is a rising club while us yes he did say specifically in French, that we are a club going nowhere. Jesus, get a grip. There's a reason I'm not on the forum that much this time of the year. This is it. Pompey's been higher up the table from us for exactly two years, before which they barely avoided relegation for three seasons. We have a larger fanbase. We have more money. I can imagine there are rational reasons that some players would choose Portsmouth over Newcastle. But you seem to believe the likes of Everton, Spurs, Villa, and Pompey are like fucking Man United in terms of competing with us for players. All this "boo hoo hoo we won't get jack shit this summer because we're a FUCKING HOPELESS CLUB" talk has got to stop.

mackems.gif So Martin Jol, what can you tell us about this lad?
