    England

    Allardyce would probably do better at the actual tournaments. He'll struggle to qualify though
  2. Player of the tournament. Delighted for Ronaldo. Incredible scenes of him on the touchline. Football, as is life, is about stories, and this story was written the day they qualified from their group in 3rd having won none of their matches. Also, Messi despite being the better player, can suck it. Him or Fonte Very good shout. Pepe takes it for me because he kept his suspect temperament in check and actually played football for a change. He really was outstanding tonight.

  6. Infinitely better. Don't know why they can't see this, and don't know why they can't find an equally as cheap way of producing it. Add 2 quid on the price ffs, just do it right.
  7. Wait till CD sees this pap.

  10. "People" There's about 3 of them plus Keys & Gray.
  11. Keegan always said it didn't matter who was captain because a good side needed leaders all over the pitch and the dressing room. So as you say, whether Lascelles gets it or not is irrelevant. It would be good to encourage leadership amongst the entire playing and coaching staff so people can take initiative and make things happen. Pretty sure Rafa subscribes to this school of thought as well, as opposed to the King's reign.
  12. Rafa will give it to Lascelles. No doubt in my mind about that. I'm hardly ever right of course.
  13. Didn't have to end like this, but a combination of factors deemed it so. From hero to zero. Good luck and farewell Colo.
  14. I'd say this is a massive myth, and even if it were true, the guy still had more natural talent than 99.99% of players we've ever had. Up there with Beardsley and Gascoigne. But again you've still missed the point entirely. Ben Arfa was the only entertainment we had at the time, and he robbed us even of that. Also I'm wide awake cheers mate.
  15. We've had enough bad managers. Pardew is more than that - a smug, hateable conman. What did he do exactly? That's what I'm trying to understand. Tell lies, try and pass himself off as the English Mourinho, dance like a f***ing c***....I could go on. I mean, for a foreigner like me, your absolutely relentless hatred for Pardew is almost comical. "Kill all his family" ffs He did everything in his power to dumb down expectations for an owner hell-bent on running this club on the cheap. He defended him to the hilt and blamed supporters for conceding a last minute equalizer at home to Crystal Palace. He constantly lied through his teeth and embarrassed the club by his behavior on the touchline. He also couldn't speak proper English and sounded like a used-car salesman when talking to the press. He also discarded Hatem Ben Arfa, one of the most naturally gifted and entertaining players we have ever had at a time when his own side was playing some of the most turgid and lifeless football around. And losing. Agree with it all. But I thought that game where he blamed the fans, was Reading at home? When we lost 2-1 and he said the fans were getting excited at 1-0, which meant the players were too gung ho and it allowed Reading to equalise Unless he did it on more than one occasion.... Don't remember him saying that after the Reading game and he probably didn't tbf to the lying cunt. That was all his own undoing changing the entire look of the side thinking the game was one on 60 minutes.

  17. Watched him 3 times last season and on all 3 occasions he was the best player on the pitch.
  18. You must have missed him waltzing around the pitch not bothering to pick up his man on several occasions from which the opposition scored. Can't for the life of me remember the most blatant example at the moment but the image in mind is so clear of him totally not doing anywhere near his best.
