Grounded Wingman

If Portugal were willing to cross the ball, and had thrown on Nuno Gomes, they would have wrapped this game up based on the posession they have had out wide.

"Where, oh where were the Germans? And frankly, who cares?" Barry Davies, Great Britain vs West Germany in the 1988 Olympic men's hockey final. Never before, or since, that tournament have I gave a shit about hockey.

He was no problem at Blackburn, probably down to our success and having people he likes alot on the coaching staff. A great signing for Liverpool, the cunts.

It's the latin countries that do it (usually), and it's been catching on in Africa.

Riquelme has been hopeless tonight.

Holland was the better performance. That German team was a fucking shambles that night.

You'll be on everyone's shitlist til the Russian pimp leaves. (Y) In other news, according to the Echo Daniel Alves wants to join us:

Because people go on the reputation of players like Ronaldinho. But he can easily be reduced to a nobody, just like in the Champions League Final. I agree England could, and should beat the likes of Brazil.

I think you're talking about Randy Johnson.

I was thinking that Benitez might have given Cisse a chance to prove himself next season, and I wondered if he'd have warranted that chance (not that I am questioning Rafa, who is awesome) but now Cisse has come out moaning and gobbing off and obviously the only recourse for a manager like Benitez will be to sell the whiny bitch. Good. Would be nice to sign a striker before the World Cup, but it's more important to sign the right players than it is to sign players quickly.

Makes sense.

I have a feeling of dread that England are going to win it. My only hope is an injured Wayne Rooney and the decision to waste Steven Gerrard's talent, so thanks Sven, you have given me some hope. I'll still be supporting Scotland this World Cup.

Goalie Midfielder Midfielder Striker Striker Midfielder If a midfielder has a good all round game he (or she :lmao: ) can carry a team (Steven Gerrard). A striker can cover a lot of weaknesses in a team if he bangs a few goals in (Darren Bent) and a keeper (think Schmeichel) can earn you points. Defenders are the most useless of all.

Personally I think Fowler and Cisse (and Sinama-Pongolle and Le Tallec) will go and Morientes will get another year. I'd sell both Cisse and Morientes. Not fussed one way or the other about Fowler.

None of the English managers are good enough. If the top clubs in the country won't even risk it on them why should one of the world's top international jobs be taken by someone just because he is English? As for Scolari not speaking English, don't worry. He learned Portuguese quickly enough.

Have I Got News For You Never Mind The Buzzcocks 2 Pints of Lager House The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Bones My Name Is Earl Scrubs That 70's show Angel (Sci-fi channel) Scrubs, That 70's Show and Angel are all repeats. I think I've seen up to the series that Eric Forman leaves in That 70's Show and expect the next series (which is the last, right?) to be pretty poor. I have no idea when E4 (or whoever) are going to show the new series of Scrubs either, which is annoying me slightly.

Apparently £50,000 has been taken off of Liverpool's semi final gate reciepts to pay for the 'damage', which is fine. No doubt the civil action, which will inevitably be brought about, based on emotional damage will cost Liverpool well into the millions. 2 goals from Cisse tonight out to add a few quid to his sale price. Momo Sissoko played well again.

The PFA awards are voted for in December, so usually the nominations are a bit weird. I expect Joe Cole and Rooney will win it. Scandal of the day is that Momo Sissoko isn't even nominated for Young Player.
