Neil

It's solo Harry. It's based around his first England training session. When Harry met Gareth Barry. :scared: :scared: :scared:

Is Louise involved?

It was quite the challenge.

Hats off, O'Neill is doing excellently there. You can see though it's all down to his man management. The way they play, there really is very little to be intimidated by. Sessegnon and maybe McClean is all they have who you'd expect to cause problems running at players. The rest are mostly just varying degrees of cloggers. They've infinitely improved from the end of Bruce's reign (not sure it could have got worse) and with a mixture of O'Neill's management, renewed belief and a fair few lucky moments, they've put together an excellent run. Question remains how they'll cope when a few things eventually start going against them.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16956135 Ouch! Should have just got up and got on with it. [/my word] Too many of these young men are coming from the continent and having these skiing accidents and there gets a point where you think, you haven't broken 5 ribs young man, get up, get on with it.

He'll probably still try and bring in players of other nationalities. If he can't do his wheeling and dealing then I imagine he'll eventually just spontaneously combust.

Completely forgot about Barca vs. Valencia tonight. Barca are through, 2-0.

That'll be them playing Arsenal at home twice in a week, no? I fancy Sunderland to win at least one of the games. Exactly the sort of game Arsenal could slip up in and Sunderland are in excellent form.

:lol: While I don't condone the sudden explosion of the stadium, the delivery of this was exceptional.

I cheer on England as much as anyone at the major tournaments, but I can't say I feel a really strong connection to the national team. A number of players in the team represent numerous things that are so very wrong with modern football.

Andy Townsend is not amused.

FM tastic. Aye. Has it ever happened in real life before? Think Hiddink did it with PSV and Australia. I think.

FM tastic.

This could be very bad news for Spurs.

:lol:

A thousand different accounts of what's going on at the moment. Some say coma, but some "respected" journos saying it's not too serious. Edit: BBCSport BBC Sport Ex-Newcastle and France winger David Ginola breaks five ribs in a skiing accident - he has now been released from hospital Well, you know what I mean.

OliverKayTimes Oliver Kay David Ginola's condition described as "ok" by @Matt_Lawton_DM after reports that he was in serious condition after skiing accident

Nothing confirmed yet. Unsurprisingly, Twitter is where all the talk is. TonyEvansTimes Tony Evans @ @StanCollymore Wire services say he left hospital this morning and has three broken ribs

Conflicting reports at the moment, apparently. If it is indeed a coma, then all the very best to him.

Easy. Pardew. Got an eye for a bargain (Levy likes that), boyhood club, played for Spurs, wouldn't want huge wages. Nailed on tbh Pardew isn't buying the majority of the players. Nor is Redknapp. Then again, Redknapp doesn't do or know an awful lot.

I think the issue is it's rarely exactly 15 minutes. Often a couple of minutes longer. I imagine it'll start from the time of the half time whistle, an alarm will ring a minute before the 15 minute mark to alert everyone to get back on the pitch.

Now THAT'S a bet.

Wouldn't be so sure. For all he's an almight twat, Suarez is a quality player. As is Ba, yes, but I'd hardly say it's a certainty Ba's getting more between now and May.

Sadly not surprised.
