Come on lads, hold it now...

I'm actually wanting west brom to score again now...

€5 acc on us, brum, bolton, boro, wba, norwich and swansea... Returns €235 Also have; chelsea/man city -over 3.5 goals bolton/wolves -under 1.5 goal birmingham/wigan -under 1.5 goals liverpool/blackburn -under 2.5 goals €5 pays €277

Best is only 23. I really can't understand why people are on his back already, after a handful of games.

They only recently got a 2nd CL place anyway. That was on the back of Celtics Uefa cup run and some decent showings for Rangers too. They've both been shite lately, so deserve to lose the place...

Good old Norn Iron...

Offside, there needs to be 2 players between attacker and goal. It's usually assumed to be 1 because it's unlikely that the keeper wouldn't be the last man back... I think...

No....he's just bald. Well, that's what alopecia means, it's the same thing. Ones a medical issue and one's hereditary. Alopecia *is* the hereditary condition that makes males lose hair. The Charlton player must have some other thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldness JJ Shelvy has alopecia areata, a rare condition very much different to common baldness. Yeah, it's mental, one of my mates has it. No eyebrows or pubes or anything. Aye, I went to school with a lass who had it, she wore a wig. It's linked to stress and stuff. I had it for a while, but it just went away after having it for about 2 years. Weird as fuck...

But what if his head's already been turned, a la Lescott at Everton, and his performances turn to shit? Then they're stuck with a player who is off form, and still face the prospect of replacing him come June. If they had any sense, they would be lining up a replacement now, and take a deal this month. Fuck, £1.5m for a L1 player with 6 months left on his contract, that's good money...

Good shout...

Could it be that he's being lined up for a possible coaching role? Wouldn't be ridiculous. And as you say, Wenger must've seen something...

YESSS!!

Only if we had to play in fucking Orlando in June...

Might well be doing the same. Although, my mates missus is from Stockton, and her da's a season ticket holder, so I may go incognito to the Tyne-Tees at the Riverside...

Someone's clearly over it That's right, Sepp Blatter's a stand up guy. Only has the best intentions of the game at heart. Of course he's not. But come on... "You lot need to let it go...." followed by launching a tirade at Blatter doesn't scream 'irony' to you? Not having a go at you, but I didn't claim to be "over it". I've long since accepted that we have been knocked out, accrimoniously so, but out nonetheless. Just because I've accepted that as a fact, does that mean I have to happy about it? Does it mean it's ok for every fucking WUM to take a shot at "the stupid fucking Irish"?

Sounds more like you people need to move on. You don't seem to realise that the Irish nation already has. This continues to be an issue in the press because it sells papers. Put simply, the FAI made an attempt to wrangle something (be it a replay, compensation, whatever...) out of FIFA for their collosal fuck up. FIFA refused, and effectively took the piss out of the FAI at a press conference. This is not how a governing body should act. How would you feel if you went to your kids school, and spoke to the principal because your child thought they were unfairly treated. But, rather than deal with the problem in a sensible measured way, the principal dragged your child in front of assembly and got everyone to laugh at him? (Shit analogy, but you get the point...) Sepp Blatter is a fucking joke, and not just for the way he has handled himself in this incident. There are numerous previous cases where he has acted like a complete prick...

I don't get it? The FAI are really clutching at straws now. Ah well, at least I'm already well practiced in being embarrassed by those running the team I support...

For me it was probably at the pompey match last season. The game was terrible, but it was my first time in SJP, and I was completely blown away. I'd seen it loads on TV, and been around for the tour once before, but to actually be there was something else. Hopefully when I get over next year, it'll be under better circumstances...

Getting bodies in is a good thing. Simple as...

Defoe, crouch, krankjar He didn't sell them on because they were s**** though... he didn't sell lua for that reason either Less than 20 goals in 4 years says otherwise...

People cry that "it'll be like american football", without having probably ever watched an NFL game. It's the ridiculous advertising that slows down the pace of an NFL game, not the fucking video booth. Rugby Union works just fine with the video ref, and has minimal stoppages. So far nobody can put forward a logical reason against using video technology in some fashion...

Why would it need to be stopped all the time? How many times do they use the video in rugby? In rugby league it's all the f***ing time. We would end up having football games that take as long as American Football games with all the whinging foreigners and Man U players questioning every blooming decision that went their way. f***ing hell, you've excelled yourself. Give over. The likes of Drogba etc need to man up. Bloody wimps. Yeah, all the foreigners. You wouldn't catch us hard British being girls. Such notable players include Joe Cole, Robbie Savage, Ashley Young, David Dunn and SWP. Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney...

No they're not. You regularly see vital decisions being corrected where a receiver has or hasn't got his feet in the end zone (for example) which can have a big impact on the final result.
