scotty

sounds like another Pardew coup, Im detecting a pattern

this site could do with a bit more national stereotyping, may I suggest we start with the germans?

it would make my day if they involved the possibility of assassination.

lol!

I would think family was another area off-limits, best not to make a move on your brothers/fathers/uncles/etc bird

thats what I assumed as well. Maybe its a requirement of the position (fnarr)

well thats 96 minutes of my life I wont get back

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/10417040.stm wtf is it with these motorsport bosses? First max mosely gets caught with his pants down taking an apparently enjoyable beating, now this guy ends up dead in a torture club, are they all ex-public schoolboys or something?

people of italy, are you listening?? Mussolini, are you listening???? Berlusconi, are you listening?????????? Your boys took one hell of a beating!!.......YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

English. \when the jocks, taffs and paddys stop hating our f*cking guts and praying for us to lose every game, I might think about calling myself British.

thats a brave thing to admit. Not a good thing but certainly a brave thing, I wouldnt mention that down the pub if I were you

now you mention it, youre right. In fact he always looks like the soft kid whos about to get the crap beaten out of him by the school bully, its something about his expression

I'm getting sick of lampards dewy-eyed signal to the heavens any time he scores. Im sorry his mum died but ffs let it lie, (not that hes likely to be bothering the hereafter in this particular tournament)

he's worth whatever somebody is prepared to pay for him, no more and no less.

look at his elbow movement, the angle from the front and closer shows it much more clearly than this one. Its a pathetic overreaction from keita, but he still took a whack. And the only thing the ref is guilty of is not seeing it and deciding to take his linesmans word for it

It looked a hell of a lot worse for the brazilian from the other camera angle, kaka gave him a good elbowing in the chest. I'll be amazed if fifa rescind the yellow/red.

you can breathe again mate, Blairs gone now.

Im not so sure about the kaka sending off. Of course keita went down like he'd been poleaxed, and he's a cheating c*nt for doing it, but the brazilians had been doing the same thing all game. Lucio nearly got a player booked when he went down like he was shot, the replay showed he had actually kicked his opponent himself. And as far as I could see, kaka did deliberately raise his arm and give keita a f*cking good dig in the ribs off the ball. Personally I reckon that merited a card.

we looked like a bunch of f*cking amateurs tonight. Every time we got the ball we either looked like losing it, or not having the slightest f*cking clue what to do with it. Almost every time algeria got it they knew what to do and where to go with it. And they knew enough to pressure us in order to get the ball, wtf were we doing in that respect? That was men against boys, we were pathetic, I cant think of a single positive. If we play (play!!!) like that against slovenia we will be out on our *rses.

I bet he doesnt.

thats just ridiculous. In my lifetime, British foreign policy has always started with "do whatever America says" as its first principle

cant agree with that at all, Papa did exactly what a forward is supposed to, kept his header on target but low and wide of the keeper. I couldnt believe it when james dug that one out of the air.

has he typed any shakespeare yet?

thats a bit harsh imo, the skate "miss" was more like a blinding save by james from what looked like a perfect/textbook header, I'll still never know how he kept that out, I thought it was there.
