Trying to think of some nano football related puns but I'm struggling. Anyone? If he comes in i'd still have Ayoze starting up front for us first and Nano second.

Matters more for people that actually go to games. Especially away games. Sad to see two palace fans at it like this.

Sent off by his lass for sharting under the covers. Sell.

Oh yay I get the two pugs of the tournament. Gonna need England's loveable chubster to prove me wrong. Also, fuck bimpy497.

17 is taken (my fault, I'd put Beren's 17 in the 16 row) - can you pick again? 31 is taken too - can you pick again? 7?

31 & 5 please

I've been trying to post a video (legal) on here but have no clue how to embed. So fuck it. In short, yes they're inclined to be batshit mental.

The diving and swanning around might be a good fit for Arsenal, but he can only ever run in straight lines and shoot, and Arsenal aren't exactly the most direct team.

Careful what you wish for!

My dream too!

I assumed they were the same person Yup. GreenToon is the same guy myself and abertoon know who supports both clubs. Think he's the only one in existence tbh.

Why? where you going dude?

Welcome to the board mate. Finally.

Apparently this piece of work has been appointed manager of Omonia Nicosia FC here in Cyprus. A mate of mine who supports NUFC is also die-hard Omonia. He's fucking gutted

Would've played about 5 games. Fuck that. Rather have someone with the same ability (which isn't hard to find) who will play more games. As you say though, it's fantastic news.

Holy shit. The news just keep getting better and better What is this I don't even know!

IN for 5.

What England need is a relatively obscure but highly rated young coach from deep within the football education system to take over managing the first team. Wasting some of the English talent of the past 15 or 20 years has been a footballing crime. The whole thing needs a major overhaul.

I wish someone would tell him it's ok to not play Rooney. If the fat fucker throws a strop, send him home.

I'm fairly shocked he's done that. Or not. I thought maybe he would go for a functioning team that will set out to win the tournament. England certainly have the players, and are capable of winning it. Of course, they'll come nowhere near winning it because Hodgson is more interested in what the folks back home will say about him than how the team actually performs.

Why should England actually have real options to influence games, to try and win the tournament? Surely it's better to placate the pundits and media in order to avoid criticism for leaving out the household names. I honestly had hope for Hodgson. Hope he does well but with that selection he's looking at an early exit imo. Possibly even in the group stage. Which household names do you think he should've left out? Sturridge, Henderson and Wilshere IMO. Milner at a push, but I'd take him ahead of Drinkwater as I reckon the Leicester guys are absolutely shattered. I personally wouldn't rely too heavily on Rooney, but I would concede that Hodgson can't leave him out of the squad completely. I would probably start him alongside-ish Kane, and leave Vardy on the bench. Vardy playing on the left of 4231 is just moronic, and encapsulates everything that is wrong with Team England. Shoe-horning en vogue players for the fuck of it.

gets me every time :lol:

He's definitely offski IMO. Haven't heard a peep out of him since Rafa joined. If he had any future at the club, he would have been forced or pushed by the manager to communicate with the fans somehow. As good as gone IMO.
