Exactly what I said to my bored other half. So many England players give possession away so cheaply.

Just ignore Turkish mate, he's the village idiot round here.

He will only have a chance if there is injuries, still a decent punt though.

A fully fit and on form Chamberlain would walk back into the england squad IMO. Lallana has a decent chance of Brazil if he has a good game tomorrow, he has the potential to do a Gazza if he carries on improving like he is.

The really funny thing is that is probably a better win ratio than when the f*ck-wits hired him.

LOL. This Micah Hall bloke comes across like a 12 year old girl having a strop.

According to the News: "Engagement manager Micah Hall estimates between 1,100 to 1,200 will need to attend to reach the break-even figure." Only 1,000 - 1,100 short of the break even figure if the above is to be believed. Way to go skates!

I think there is definitely a strong argument for taking the kids to this one to give them experience. We have no chance of winning it so what exactly is the point in carting Lampard, Cole etc halfway round the world just to go through the motions? I would keep Gerrard in as a sort of mentor figure, take Rooney along as some sort of f*ck ugly mascot to boost the viewing figures - he is sh!t at that level but there is a novelty value in watching him get angry and stamp on some deigo's gonads. The rest should all be young enough to feature at the next world cup.

It's too late for Clyne unless there are a few injuries, we're running out of games and you don't throw young defenders in for World Cup finals unless they have a few games under their belt.

Show's what the average Journo knows about footie.

Yes.

That's a taste of what we're gonna get next summer.

But Cook may have known that Blair was aware that Iraq posed little or no WMD threat to the UK and purposely sexed up the idea to force regime change. At the moment Blair gets away with it because he can always point to the official line from the secret services, and that's where any inquiry hits a brick wall because what happens there remains secret. Iraq barely had a working tank when we invaded, let alone anything near WMDs, you have to be naive in the extreme to believe the US, UK or Israeli secret services didn't know that at the time. Their military was decimated through years of sanctions. In fact I would say the only reason we DID invade was because they knew for a fact that there was no threat, even to countries near them like Israel.

In my opinion the most likely reason for the bizarre and nasty method was that it was done as a warning to other MI6 agents. I expect this guy snooped a bit too far into some other country's affairs and by killing him this way they made it obvious that it was assassination.

It is bonkers isn't it, we actually live in a world where our police want us to believe that this guy climbed into a hold all, got into a bath and locked it himself in and accidentally died. All without leaving fingerprints on the lock or bath.

Maybe Cook had proof or was willing to testify that the government knew Iraq didn't have WMDs when they took us into war?

Or the depression of finishing 9th instead of 8th. If they hadn't have wasted their time winning that cup they might have finished above West Brom.

Havn't read enough about it to be honest but does seem a bit 'convenient'.

I have always been open to the idea of state-sponsored assassinations just not involving robots flying planes or half of London being crisis actors. Any plot would be simple, only even involve a hand full of people at most, and be very low risk.

Kelly was obviously assassinated, there was not even a proper coroner's inquest into his death which is outrageous considering the huge motivation for assassination. Another obvious assassination is this guy... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24927078 Probably an accident! He was found naked in a padlocked bag in a bath. It appear no matter how obvious a murder there is no limits to what we are supposed to accept as plausible excuses.

Most of those are just arse-holes trying to be different for the sake of it. Cortese could say night doesn't follow day and at least 6% of the mongboard would come out in agreement, don't try and pretend you know anything about football.

That was Saints in the 80's

We have had an easy set of fixtures so we are probably in a bit of a false position so I wouldn't be surprised if we only win one or two more before Xmas. having said that, a bit of confidence goes a long way and we are playing well. If we can keep the team fit there is no reason why we cannot keep it up.

I was wrong about Pochettino, thought it would be a disaster.

It was great because you could shout at the players and they could hear you and sometimes shout back. I remember some great banter, players like Neil Ruddock and Ian Wright always had something to say.
