A legend simply for his goals against Man Utd and Liverpool. Will amount to nowt more in his career. Fair enough story to tell yer grandkids tbh

Bollox to that! RIP old fella

Amen! Whether he is playing for a WC place or a move is irrelevant. He's putting in the performances and the effort and that;s much better than sulking in the reserves pining for a move away etc... Top class today. I wish he would bring the ball up more often.

Taylor, Steven

Not really, that would mean that their would be far less goals against every team, which there isn't. Agreed. This myth of "terrible finishing" is ridiculous to say the least. If so, then why are there regular hammerings all over the league, and if you look at the top scorers list, we are only represented by Nolan in the top 10! I think our defence needs to get the credit for our defensive record as they have played as a unit, and have done enough to put off strikers in good shooting positions. As for Harper......why not?? I reckon he would be a solid squad member who is mature enough to understand that he could only play a bit part role in the tournament, and would keep his head if called upon unlike some of the younger element such as Foster and Hart. Thumbs up from me.

fuck me that's some piece of skill and some shot! sure to have the raised the roof with the match poised at 1-0 well done the new boy

Same here. Tried opening the direct link in your media player? radio buggered for me. wont open in BS player

(for APOEL......couldnt give a rat's ass about Atletico. APOEL playing direct football, punching in the right places. Atletico are trying to be too clever dancing around with the ball like bellends).

How? overrated boring as f*** empty grounds cheating is rife from the owners all the way down to the players Can I ask how many Serie A games you've watched in the last 6 months to a year? The whole sum of fuck all For said reasons mentioned above

...is a cunt every day of the week I'm not Irish, and the handball affected me in no way shape or form. Still a cunt though, and so are all the clubs he's played for/currently plays for

I finish 5-a-side same time as KO. Have to give some mates a lift. Won't be back in until after half-time. Cunts! Howay!!

what made metz so good was the travelling and it being a normal place. whereas milan was quick flight there good atmosphere and flight back for me. if we ever get back into europe i'd be more interested in going to the likes of zurich than madrid. i'm going to do leicester away, "win to stay up" tonight

serie A the whole league is just a fucking farce

Or me. In my defence I wasn't registered when it was originally posted. Neither was themanupstairs but I was. :-[ I've been around for donkeys - since 04 i think. tmu is my work account So yeah

I don't think the winners of each WC have come from the same continent in succession unless the same nation won it in succession (Brazil, Germany). So with that in mind, it will be one of Brazil, Argentina or Italy.

it was an idea but then the original was posted three yers ago and yours is reply no.4. maybe one night when i'm bored i'll do others. metz was the best trip of all though. shit just realized the rest of the forum didn't think much of it then? i guess they were too busy on the Luque thread

I believe it will be a South American team. Brazil by default unless Messi can carry Argentina to the cup

Is this part of a serial you're writing madras? if so, where's the others. if not, you should.

with this whole video technology debate raging on for the last few pages, I have a question: If video replays were implemented in the game, which leagues/tournaments etc... would it apply to? Would it become a uniform way to judge football across the board? Poor nations, lower divisions, friendlies between Nepal and Madagascar, WC qualifiers between Western Samoa and Fiji? Is it affordable enough to become law?

Fuck. Just realised we'll have the french AND the portuguese at the world cup. A France - Portugal final is my worst football nightmare. 22 cunts on the pitch

Shame Trappatoni won't get one last chance to be at the finals too. The man is pure class.

The French having the luck of the irish doesn't excuse them from being cunts. I absolutely loathe the attitude of the likes of Henry, Gallas and Malouda to the game. I wish nothing on them but every heavy defeat and embarrassment at the finals. Domenech is also a clueless twat who should be doing better with a vast array of talent at his disposal. Lassana Diarra is one of the best in the world in his position and I hope he will showcase it at the world cup.

or Brett Ormerod

Sports direct is f***ing s*** ta
