tbf we have looked better since SRL injected some passion but Walcott's passing is woeful

SRL starts 2nd half at Right Back Well someone has to I suppose

Was there on honeymoon in June on the right up one floor on the balcony all drinks were a quid. Neat spot to people watch. Cowboy is just so much more FUN these days

I'm International Here is a new Nun

Not Rickie's best 45 mins a few misplaced passes, not challenging for headers a couple of times and looking ponderous on occassion. Having said that considering only him & Gerrard of our front players are the only ones actually in the game. Walker looking unsure, Cole shaky at the start but come into it and looking better and the CB's looking good. What to do about Walcott Milner Lampard & Wilshire though? Surely they trained on that pitch so knew the grass was long, they just don't seem to have any rythm or tempo to their passing & movement. Still IF you want a draw then so far so good

Wilshire & Lampard not in the game yet Sitting very deep SRL Isolated Hoofball no precision Yuk

Nooooooooooooooooooooo TV Feed drops out just before KO Panic over it's back! Oopps delayed post for 25 mins ago sorry

Think a number of posters don't actually read things. Someone posts a link or a summary and they then remember something from a week or a month ago and go off on one. It was a good article as you say. It has been a fairytale. Tonight something more could actually happen. Christ imagine IF he scores a couple & we win and are almost in Brazil, not just on here but across the country. 9th Sept could become a Public Holiday SRL Day We're all waiting to see, cannot understand why anyone would think anything else

Phew, was only 5 months ago

Did say I was reporting the article not an opinion on it. BUT, in this context your reply is an example of incredibly dangerous thinking. I understand your point, (and agree FWIW) but too many times an instant or emotive logical response is wrong in this instance. What is needed is to try and seek an understanding of WHY it is being said. The article reflects management of Public Opinion (not The West but in Russia). IMHO that management is starting to try to create uncertainty at least at home. That could create a backlash SHOULD the US go it alone. Which can then provide internal "Political Will" for other "steps" to be taken. The message stays pretty clear. Obama has to play with the Russkies to get a solution, The US Military/Industrial Complex is probably not very happy about that. (how ARE the order books for Tomahawk Missiles these days?) Kerry dropped the clanger, it's going to continue to bounce. The Russians will get the Chemical Weapons under THEIR control - no brainer there, and they will buy enough time for Government Forces to inflict even more damage to the rebels. Bashar keeps rocking & his wife keeps shopping. The country keeps getting destroyed and Children on BOTH sides will be maimed, orphaned and their futures destroyed. Well done Kerry - like I say, keep morons out of this it is way too complex. Bombs weren't the answer, now you've given all the initiative & moral high ground to Bashar's supporters. Could not have ****ed that up better even if he had tried

Nice interpretation and quality selective reading. Congratulations on your analysis of my opinion and your deduction of it. And of course thank you for telling me what my Opinion on the subject is so eloquently.

Good OP Perhaps the missing piece of the jigsaw is the final piece of creativity, the unexpected, the flick... Which is where one would assume a fully fit & firing Gaston would come in.

Doh. I KNOW that. I've built the whole bloody weekend around being in Nick the Greek's at 12:30 & in the Mega Store to NOT buy a shirt on Thursday. Me & Mrs D_P will be there! (In my defence it was late when I saw that.) Meanwhile Here is a PROPER article about Rickie. From the Fail & Samuels no less. And it says it as we see it - good input from Woy http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2416411/Ukraine-v-England-A-real-test-Rickie-Lambert--Martin-Samuel.html Actually worth the read

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2416404/Andy-Carroll-sent-scan-injury-amid-fears-West-Ham-striker-wont-play-YEAR.html Carroll could be out for the rest of this YEAR.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2416404/Andy-Carroll-sent-scan-injury-amid-fears-West-Ham-striker-wont-play-YEAR.html And makes Saturday more interesting, nice investment Sam

Somalia have run out of jokes then. I'm off Tibet. Night all

Sooner or later, the Unthinkable will have to be said. The only way to solve the problem in Syria is for "Bashar" to win & the nutters to be slaughtered. ONCE that thought process is accepted THEN a search for a proper solution can begin. The "" around Bashar are deliberate, the Military needs to defeat the nutters and the True Rebels, The Syrian People themselves can be brought to the table. Can the Nation actually survive? The reality is no, Iraq has proven that. Syria will need to be split into into individual Emirates working in a Federation. It will need TIME for the Sects to accept and build the structures. The PEOPLE want freedom but one person's freedom is another persons Perjury. The "Government" needs to be given the Time and the Incentive to exit, and engage with the True Rebels. Syria cannot be bombed into chaos like Libya. The Russians have the influence, they need to be pushed to get Bashar to retire (preferably to a Gulag in Siberia) The PROBLEM is = once again the ticking clock of the West. Obama wants it done NOW. It will take YEARS.

The sound of reality hitting home? And now he is in real trouble, because it allows the Russians to send in the Armed Guards. You know? There is a fundamental flaw in Democracy & Politics in general. Everyone who takes part wears clothes all the time. Our lives truly would be a lot easier if the MoFo's had to START every policy discussion & Negotiation WITHOUT trying to show they have a bigger Penis than they were actually born with

Guys. It's a good effort, but I don't think any of you should give up your Korea for Comedy

So, with that, it's Dubai from him. And Dubai from me.
