Maybe not then. Wankers. Backing Norway with £30 @ 2.75 > you.

Maybe not then. Wankers.

Terrible effort by the 'keeper.

Just scored a cracker for France.

Nasri's done well too.

Looking at Remy. That Darmesh prick from SSN reckons that 8 Premier League clubs are there. Spurs obviously one of them. Hopefully Ben Arfa won't get on the pitch then...

Messi vs Kevin Kilbane coming up on SS1.

Anybody else fancy a new-look France to beat Norway at 13/8? Think it could turn out to be a cracking price with every single one of the French squad with something to prove to their new boss.

Ah, was that just the French media claiming so based on his comments?

We haven't just been in negotiations with them, we've had an offer accepted according to the Marseille chairman last week. Somebody is spouting bollocks.

Am I the only one getting pissed off about Hughton using the word 'hopeful' every time he is interviewed?

Right call, you can't just run through the goalie. What was not right was the way the play was restarted. I've watched it back, the defender kind of bumps into him and his momentum takes him through, not sure what he's supposed to do to be honest. Not sure if Howard would have saved it even if Pato hadn't gone into him. Ball hadn't crossed the line when Pato went into Howard, hence it's the correct call as it makes Howard unable to attempt a save (even if it may have gone in regardless). Had the ball crossed the line first, it'd been a wrong call. It's quite easy, really. Like I said though, he was bumped by the defender, it's not as if he wanted to clatter into Howard. Put it this way, had that goal being disallowed against Newcastle, I'd have been furious.

That looked like a completely bullshit decision.

Anybody watching USA vs Brazil? Robinho =

Lee Ryder reckons we ended our interest in Onuoha when we signed Campbell.

Going to buy a couple of the books recommended in this thread. Will post which ones I go for later on. Definitely getting the The Future Game Book, haven't decided on the others yet though.

Do you think it's more like buying a candy bar? transfers shouldn't take weeks like this one has been doing. there is 3 weeks of the transfer window to bring in the 3-4 players we need, we simply can't afford to lose any time! i seem to remember us selling woodgate to real, in a matter of hours, that's how business should be done! How are we losing time? There isn't a rule that says you aren't allowed to be in discussions with more than one club/player at the same time.

Yeah, Jonny.

I imagine it'll be something mundane such as us supposedly putting in a last minute bid for Boateng. I reckon so too although I hope it's something a little more interesting. Got a link to this btw? its on his twitter. Aye, just seen it. Bet it's just the translation of the OM president's comments. I'm going to dish out some abuse to him if it is that.

Mark Douglas says there is a transfer exclusive in the Journal tomorrow. May end up being nothing but thought it was worth posting anyway.

Yeah, Johnson's shite like.

That Christian Larrson who goes by the name of FreddieBoswell7 on Twitter reckons we're in for Kevin-Prince Boateng but expects him to go to Italy.

It was in the Sunday Post today that Rangers had turned down the chance to sign Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan because they couldn't afford to pay his wages of £40,000 per week. Should we be in for him? Got to say, I'd take him in a flash on loan.
