Super Duper Branko Strupar

Moyes rates Gosling and wanted him to stay at Everton. Good enough for me!

Spain may not have prgressed in the manner they did, but their unbelieveably solid defence and outstanding midfield keeping the ball basically every game has allowed Villa to pop up and score. I honestly think even Torres may have scored a couple of those. Spain have always seemed to have the possession and therefore piled on the pressure, they've ground teams down, constantly trying balls through the defence in and around the box. They have been a bit arsenal-esq in trying one pass to many, and Ive been screaming 'RUN' at the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Villa etc because there has been very little urgency in their attacking and no one overlapping from out wide or going past the man with the ball. Villa has obviously been the one who scored, but without him, I can still see Spain being in the position they are now, they'd have just gone through on Pens or something.

Sound investment I reckon

Hopefully his ex-Plymouth buddies will urge him to come up here.

You fishing? You must be.

Did you wish him well when he chalked off Vidukas 'goal' v Fulham? I hope he makes massive fuck cock up. The arrogant prat. He has reffed well though although IMO the Argentine fella has been the best. He knock into you in the street or something?

Maybe you are remembering the half Ipswich and half NUFC scrafs we had last year. To me those scarfs are fine, but on a shirt it doesn't work and doesn't look right, infact it looks tacky. The only idea like that that seems reasonable is a reversable one. We would have to get some feedback from Ipwsich ans though, but I would take a guess and say that like us they would prefer their own shirts dedicated to SBR. If an NUFC shirt were to be manufactured, a similar ipswich shirt could be made and manufactured using the same template (except plain blue) Still though we should get in touch with the Ipswich fan club or similar to see what they think of the idea and if it would be a success. It though would have to be down to them to make it happen though, though I'm sure we could help them out, I.E. getting intouch with the SBR Foundation and shirt makers. It's a canny idea which should be explored should this work out, but we can't get too far ahead of ourselves already and start involving another club when we don't even know if the SBR foundation will be on board. They could be more persuaded if two sets of fans were behind it

If it'd work it needs to be a bit of a departure from an actual home shirt, more of a home shirt inspired shirt, or something more gimmicky like half newcastle half ipswich. It absolutely CANT represent anti Ashley or anti Puma propaganda because then it will never be timeless, it will always age and it will lack credibility. If its represented more as a separate idea incorporating something else rather than a change to a more original design then it'll much more of a one of and much more agreeable to all I like the half Newcastle Half Ipswich idea on reflection, not sure if its already been mentioned, I haven't read the entire thread, maybe I'm remembering it from somewhere else....?

The Polish have a terrible League and national team, wouldn't leave it in their hands

Surely, even with us only being promoted, if Gosling's choice's were between us and the mackems, he just couldn't chose them, I mean, he must surely visit both places and see the players in each team. You can't look at Sunderland and go 'thats an attractive propsition, I really want to go there', you only go there if your mind set is 'first team football, decent wage, aye ill play there till I get a move away' (Kieran Richardson to name just one)

I can't imagine anything worse than the Americans winning the 'Soccerball world serie's'. Sorry Mike, Ameritoon, every other sound American on here, but I'm sure you understand.

Like the sound of Chareloi. Reykjavik and Viking would be good also. I think this one takes the prize for me though... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montevideo_Wanderers_F.C. Cracking nickname too, and Camoranesi played for them. I think its a winner. Free trips to Uruguay? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Montevideo_Wanderers_FC.png

The team that dumped us out of The Inter-Toto?!

I like the twinned cities idea, but of the few I'd like, Malmo's away kit is red & white, I like Groningen but if Toon fans are to adopt any Dutch club it has to be PSV...... Haifa's a good shout.

Final day if we finish anywhere from 17th upwards! I would kind of love the season to fly by in a second if I knew we'd finish it still in it. Had to Vote for Christmas though - simply for the pure 'mounts of boozin'! And sitting in front of the TV on boxing day man, bliss! First day is close with the excitement and apprehension, usually for it all to come crashing back down soon after though.

I cant wait to be jizzing all over because of Xavi and Iniesta tonight. Would be just perfect if Spain came good tonight and really showed the Germans what proper football is! Llorente to start with Villa as well, give those big Jargans something to be concerned about. 3-1 Espana!

I reckon Krul's the better prospect like if he's brought up right. I have seen minimal from Forster, and the same as Krul in fairness, Krul just looks like there's some absolute class welled up inside his being, need to drill in the right place to get that out.

You're fast turning into my fav. poster

Lets get this thread stickied

I would prefer all opening days games to be on at the same time like, bit like the last game of the season.

Impessive.......

Go to be personal choice but seriously frowned upon. And by that I mean the managers should drop them out of principle. Or banned from he national team for a bit (hard when he's just taken them to the semi's like) I'm not saying its doable, but its as unrealistic as taking out of the players hands. Sportsmanship over interference.

Aye but Dabizas did it after like 5 mins had been played, fucking idiot. A man and a goal down from the off. Can't remember who it was against, Wigan maybe? Mackams? Blackburn away iirc, lost something like 5-2, Shearer brace. Knew it was some gash team
