It's always the fans and the players never pardew or the club. West Brom have made more of an effort than we have

Yeah it could do, like you say its the I/he bit, dunno whether thats a nuance of spanish or not

http://www.ole.com.ar/fuera-de-juego/semanas-entrenando-Inglaterra_0_1248475328.html I think google is letting us down a bit re: the last two sentences, they could contradict each other. Spanish speakers assemble..

Sort of hard when the government creates a black market.

No it doesn't. total generality makes absolutely no reference to joining in singing. It literally at no point says he joined in, in fact the last sentence "Fortunately the moment passed before I could commit an atrocity of that nature" says he didn't. You'll read which ever way fits your agenda though, as it your perogative. If we are convicting people of things for merely being in the vicinity of abuse, well we are all fucked aren't we? He's referring to making a rhyme with tumour man, comprehension much. In the context of singing fans and bearing in mind he's a celebrity writing in a national newspaper what do you think getting caught up in the gleeful hysteria of the mob means? Standing there and nodding along? Hardly hysterical. If you're struggling with this passage god only knows what you infer from his latest masterpiece.

He admits joining in in that passage, what he didn't get the opportunity to do was find something witty to rhyme with tumour.

19 out of 500 coaches being black doesn't sound great to me TBH. Not that I can actually be bothered with the debate! From a quick google, could be wrong, 3% of the UK classifies as black or black British. Of 500 that's 15. Why do job types have to represent the makeup of society though? (I know this isn't your point). Only 1 in 16 FTSE 100 board members are "BME". Surely that should be highlighted more than football, after all the vast majority of the UK work in a line of business other than football. Football management is all about who you know, who your agent is etc. it's naive to think the job vacancy goes through the same process as one you'd see on Jobsite and that a Chairman has a pile of CVs. That's why the same shit managers do the rounds like Warnock. So Jason Robert's argument that they don't get an interview is bollocks. If Pardew got sacked tomorrow and took a new job next week do they really think he'd run an Assessment Day for his next coach to ensure he's covered the marker and ensured diversity? Will he fuck, he'll call Steve Stone who will be there in a flash! It's absolutely about who you know , I'm just pointing out that there's no reason to look at 19 out of 500 as being unacceptable as statistically it's about what you'd expect.

If there were such good athletes they'd be playing another sport. They're basically big men with good lungs on them. By this logic almost any old gym freak could be a top class rugby player That isn't true. Few 'gym freaks' have natural size and lung capacity. They're just idiots with too much time on their hands. Unless you have horrendous genetics you can still get to a decent size. I've seen 5'3 fly halfs before, size isn't everything.

Union lads no doubt, can't take them anywhere

Fucks sake why did I watch that Cheers sewelly

Excluding Jonas and Obertan doesn't have a negative impact on our team so aside from muh feelings who cares

Was he overweight? Wasn't he? Does it matter? He might well have been but it's pre season and no excuse to be ostracised. Arguing over who hates the regime more by showing how little you believe they say is a waste of time. Ultimately it's pardew being a nob end causing the problems, not Ben arfas professionalism, or lack of.

Can't see it lasting long

Rapidly?

Less useless, but still, ultimately, a waste of space

Don't see why it's so hard for some to accept the perhaps hatem has come back overweight or unfit or whatever. That isn't the problem, pardew keeping him out of the squad for New Zealand and generally excluding him is.

If it werent for that fact Ben arfa was shat upon from a great height I don't think so many would react so violently to criticism towards marveaux, ads style criticism not HV drivel. A player having a bad attitude and pardew being a bellend aren't mutually exclusive, although the latter probably caused the former.

What does this even mean? The idea that foreigners shouldn't manage a country's national team is dated, and international football itself, as much as I love it, is probably a bit dated as well. I know what an anachronism is, and I agree somewhat with the first part I'm just wondering how and why you think international football is dated?

What does this even mean?

Capello's cavalier approach to the English language never fails to amuse.

Apparently theyre the worst team to watch at the tournament Couldn't possibly be worse than Honduras Honduras are great to watch bunch of ments

DeutschLAND - TyskLAND .. Seems right.. DeutschMANY - GerMANY .. Seems gay. Germania -> Germany TYSK

Well at least Elfenbenkusten has coast in it, which monumental fuckup led to sweden calling germany tyskland
