Mike

Thought I was alone on that.

He really doesn't seem ready to be a regular starter.

Haven't heard his name in a while, but Germany have been holding on to the ball for long stretches.

Gomez has been unimpressive so far.

Who?

First goal of the tournament for you?

Nice.

Nedved in this squad would have been a dream.

You have to stop immediately.

If you're doing that during Newcastle matches, it's not working.

Leave the room for a bit, then.

Someone get Ujfalusi a beer and a woman.

Nice run from Baros. Still think he's shit, though.

Which is why I sort of hope that isn't the first trophy we win. Can you imagine how the rest of your country will treat you if you tear down telephone poles over the fucking Carling Cup? Prefer Champs League participation over it easily.

That white/blue third kit from last year was my absolute favorite. Too bad that's gone. Would have preferred that as the new away kit.

Arshavin misses this match and the next through suspension. Bad for Russia, good for us if we're looking to buy.

The tournament needed a performance like that.

what the hells gannin' on?!?!?! Lanky has escaped from general chat!! And no one is doing shit about it.

How do they counter like that?!

Thank Christ this might be a match.

Dunno, didn't look like he touched him.

Might be a possibility, I suppose. But if they fly the commentary teams over, that studio show dives straight into hell.

Three days, three different(?) suits on the left, all of them clueless.

Was eating me tea, what did he do wrong? Didn't score five. Useless fucker. Nah, he was average. Then again, so was everyone else. edit- "Eating" tea? I'm never going to understand you guys.

Andy Gray nailed it right there. Paraphrased: "No one is thinking "Let's go win." The first thought in their mind is "Let's not lose"
