triggs

I think he is joking but its always hilarious when you listen to people who genuinely think they would score goals in the Premier League

Ya I actually remember Karagandy's long throws causing Celtic massive problems last year in their home game

What was it like?

Stating the obvious but Sterling is absolutely fucking brilliant

I had totally forgotten Scott Sinclair existed

You'd have to wonder how St Pats got so close to beating Legia in Poland

I don't see how these Southampton players are going to improve Liverpool. They finished 8th ffs. We would have finished ahead of them if we didn't completely capitulate

All those whites look the same

The talk on SSN is £24m in instalments over 3 years... It's like football manager

Sagna will hardly be a starter with Zabaleta there?

Martin Ødegaard, remember the name. Even if you can't pronounce it. How do you pronounce the O with the line through it?

Paul Kimmage was on a radio station in Ireland this morning and was asked if he thought doping was a problem in football. He responded by saying he saw a doctor in a dugout with one of the teams in the world cup that he last saw giving syringes to cyclists at the tour de France in 1989. He didn't specify the team but I found it interesting to hear.

3 good games plus Spurs & 40 minutes against Liverpool. I'm loathe to include Spurs because they had about 30 shots, we were hardly water tight, but a clean sheet is a clean sheet I suppose. In truth, I don't think we've seen enough of him at centre half in the league to say for sure if he's any good or not, but we've seen plenty of the other three to suggest they aren't. When a team went more physical, as Everton did, he really struggled, and from the games you've listed they are teams who generally get the ball down and play. I can't see us buying anybody better than him so for that reason he's definitely worth giving another go. IIRC and its very possible that I don't recall correctly, didn't Spurs just do that thing they always did under AVB of having the ball for ages but not creating anything and then taking a long shot against us?

I know I'm biting but why exactly is England a much better country?

De Jong is definitely going to be played as a striker if Riviere turns out to be poor

Not as much as it would hurt you to see Ireland qualify Just another foreign country to us. No different from any other. You can't say the same about us. Not another foreign country to Ronaldo, he fucking hates Ireland I'm fairly sure you're flattering yourself somewhat there I'm not and I'd say he would probably admit he hates Ireland or at least has a dislike for Ireland I'm a proud Brit and obviously react to anti-British nonsense from the Irish but I really don't dislike Ireland more than any other European country. I love Father Ted too and some of that was actually filmed in Ireland, so goes the rumour. There you go triggs. Just as I said. It's a fact of life that England or Britain are far more important to other nations than they are to us. Everybody and everyone raises their game to play us. Yes, but that was after you picked up on an innocuous comment that was aimed at Ronaldo

Not at all. It's just some Irish posters thought I was specifically referring to Ireland . When I wasn't. Me and Ronaldo were just having a bit of banter ( ) when you came in with your 'England don't care about any other country' spiel

It really isn't a factor. And RTE doesn't go England-centric at all. There is a bit of talk about England but more about Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina etc.

As I already said, people in Ireland don't have a negative view of England anymore but the reason for Ireland disliking England in the past was nothing to do with football Ive had Irishmen celebrate beating the UK in Eurovision ffs. We know it's not just football. Oh I know but semtex was trying to say that one of the reasons Ireland disliked England was because England usually qualify for tournaments while Ireland don't which isn't the case

It's a fact of life that England or Britain are far more important to other nations than they are to us. Everybody and everyone raises their game to play us. Are you serious? That must be why you can't win anything, because teams raise their games against you, not because your players aren't good enough fuck sake Also, I don't see how that has anything to do with my opinion that Ronaldo dislikes Ireland We've already established he doesn't dislike Ireland and that he finds Ireland as inconsequential as any other Englishman. We though are the major object of you're ire. You're much like Middlesbrough. As a country I mean. When have I ever expressed any dislike for England on here. If pulling you up on some ridiculously arrogant comments is expressing my dislike for England, then I'm sorry As a country I meant somewhat obviously. Not you personally. Not anymore I'm afraid as much as you want to be disliked by us. Irish people really don't care about England anymore for the most part

How does somebody get mixed up between 6'4" and 5'11"? Was he playing in some kind of midget league?
