How can you forget the great Teresa Herrera Trophy victory?

aye

Pirlo is ludicrously good like, would love to see where RAWK would place him now in their top 10 lists.

Any team news/rumours?

:lol: I don't know why this has cheered me up so much. Class

Yeah I agree actually, there would need to be a whole new appeal system (or whatever) to implement it properly. Not that I would be against such a system if it was done properly. I really don't see the fuss about "was it over?" incidents anyway, they're few and far between and one of the last things that needs sorting out in the game imo when we have goals given/taken away every week for other incorrect decisions. It's just a flavour of the month thing.

What problems would it create if implemented properly?

Anyone using condescending pet names like 'petal' in a debate needs to sort their craic out like. Sooooo 2002.

Dunno against Ukraine i thought we were quite lucky..... in a sense i agree with Pirlo i would'nt go as far him.... i dont think we were outplayed by France we kept them at arms length, the Sweden could have easily gone either way and i felt Ukraine were a bit unlucky. Having said that i think Pirlo has been a bit stupid here and will only motivate the lads. Oh yeah Italy was top of the group until Spain's late winner. France were shit and despite their abundance of talent in forward positions they carried very little offensive threat (not just against us either). The Sweden game could have went either way, but just because we had to come from behind doesn't mean we were lucky, the fact it allowed us to display our ability to score goals when we needed was actually ecouraging if anything. Ukraine yeah, first half especially they deserved to lead and if they were a better side they probably would have done, all in all though we comfortably finished top of the group. p.s. It's just mind games from Pirlo, I doubt he even believes what he's said here.

How is he right? We were the best team in the group even if we never exactly played that well. To suggest we were lucky is just daft. EDIT: Lucky to have been dealt such a piss easy group, aye.

He's class like, I just hate his 'I don't care' celebration, it's getting a bit boring now. In a few of his interviews (the one he did yesterday included) he comes across as a decent bloke tbh, even a bit shy, he's just really immature.

I thought Gosling looked shit everytime he came on but Pardew seemed to rate him ahead of Abeid and Vuckic so I have hope that there is something there and he is/was a bit rusty (although with Vuckic it may have been more down to their style of play).

I think Chelsea winning the Champions League will have prevented most neutrals from writing us off tbh now that we've topped our group. Us, Italy and Portugal are in the same boat imo. (That's not to say I think we're as good as Italy, I just think we have a near enough chance as they do of winning the tournament)

"what the fuck you waking is up for man maaar, i wa dreemin!"

Yeah, he mistimed his jump to let Madzukic (sp?) in. Still a massive plus for us that he's out.

I'm probably talking shit then

In spite of his cock up against Croatia I think Chiellini would be suited to dealing with Carroll tbh

Just stood still and let Alonso roam into the box unmarked. Sums France up.

Blanc is quite clearly fucking clueless like, atleast on the international scene. 4 games into a major tournament and he still didn't have a clue how he wanted to set his team out. Roy had it sussed after a friendly against Norway.

I hope he shits in Blanc's suitcase

Thank fuck for that

France just need a strict manager who can sort their moody little lives out.

And again, what the fuck is he doing?

Why did Tyldsley say Clichy's name like that there? There was absolutely no need for what he's just done.

Fucking hell man
