This season is all about promotion - f**k the cup competitions. You had your day out at Wemberlee last season.

Maybe people wouldnt be sh*tting themselves over the rumours regarding Lallana and Richardson if we had been more active in the transfer market by now.

Excellent decision

I see we've started as we mean to go on....

stupid f*kkers will get injured

The only undefeated team in the 2010 World Cup.

On balance, he did a good job in trying circumstances; the Dutch came to stifle, kick and mug the Spanish. I am glad they failed, even though it cost me the swepstake at work. The result was the right one, and Webb did his bit to make sure that the game was won in the right manner.

Not surprised the sarcasm was lost on you.

Sod that, has anyone actually seen the manager ?

Can we panic now ? Really ? After all, after the last spate of threads, those sneering said that we would get players in for the pre-season tour but they would also panic/worry if we didnt have the players we need by the beginning of August. By my estimates we are still short a CM and a pacey winger to replace the loss of Antoino and Papa.

Hmm. I left the UK for similar reasons. I could see more and more of my hard-earned being taken from me to fund hair-brained schemes and scroungers, and in return my kids wouldnt be safe walking the streets or get a half-decent education. The rest of the world is in a better state, imo. Not sure how near the precipice it really is. The UK will be the worst hit nation because it gave up making things, and turned to pushing bits of paper around. As for the mountains/soup tins comment, you are right, but I've made sure I am within a stone's-throw...

Whatever.

Pretty disappointed. I was expecting a yellow/blue or old-gold/black version of the home kit. Will look good with jeans, but is not very stand-outish and looks like a training kit.

The right decision.

hehehehe Reckon the local gasthaus to Oberhausen Zoo is going to be serving fresh Calimari tomorrow..

That website is one of the most self-obsessed, vain, narcississtic sh*tholes on the Web.

So you knew we would sign such a good replacement, did you ? Riight...

The Krauts over here are really p*ssed off at Paul. I've heard "Calamari" mentioned several times in my office this morning already. Actually, the whole thing is hillarious, because Germans and Austrians usually take the p*ss out the English for being superstitious..

Van Bommel is a f**king carthorse. Dirtiest player in this tournament by a long shot. Still, pleased Uruguay lost....

After the last round, I am ABU for the rest of this tournament.

Well, until the first sh*te no-score-draw midweek in Northern Monkey Land

If I still lived in Soton, I would buy an ST this season.

Superb joke on BBC site : "Uruguay will struggle without Suarez in goal".

would like to see cover for Schneiderlin and Antonio back, then I am happy.

Why ? There have been some revenue optimisation activities which could have indicated a book-balancing exercise underway.
