Vive la revolution!

Motion carried? I'd say reset everything, and make sure Pud canny cheat his way to the top again.

Aye it's no too bad. At least the Admin here aren't in the process of learning that they shouldn't eat their young.

To be fair, it's better over here. You're not owned by the man. Apart from that Craig lad. He has his own concentration camp Allegedly

they've bnever seen us togehte.

Funnily enough your banning has co-incided with me posting over there.

Aye reset the database. I know I'd lose my high score, but Pud would rage.

We are improving by every International game; from being something like 124th just two (maybe longer?) we are now in the top fifty of the FIFA World Rankings for the first time since we where 33rd back in May? 1994. You can not argue that we deserve to be that high especially since Lawrie Sanchez took charge from Sammy McIlory, we have been getting sensational results especially at home against the likes of England (1-0), Portugal (1-1) and Spain (3-2) and drawing in Denmark 0-0 before going on to beat Latvia in our last International, it’s a huge turnaround from a nation who couldn’t score to save our lives. I can see us keep building on our fantastic run and maybe going to qualify for Euro 2008? I know it’s early days, but who knows, really. Great to see us back above the scum (Republic of Ireland) as it was always weird seeing us below them, but now it is time to build on it and chase Scotland up the rankings (both of us) with a bit of luck England will drop and keep dropping until they are deep in the rankings in the hundreds. We’re not Brazil. I think Northern Ireland will suffer the same as Scotland in the fact that they have very hard groups. I can't see N. Ireland or Scotland qualifying, which is a shame as both have improved drastically.

Aye but that doesn't really interest me. I'm only trying to get a bite by saying America and Mexico should struggle to get through.

agreed, same as Oceana. I propose the winner of the CONCACAF plays the winner of the Oceanic region for the right to play the team who finishes 5th in South America. Can't leave out both Mexico and the US, sorry. Mexico is too good to leave out and they can't beat the US. Maybe we could have Mexico vs Oceanic champ then USA vs 5th place in South America. I'm sure I can stretch to that. And when Mexico or USA host the WC again, what happens? 33 teams? The same as happens every World Cup. Someone qualifies automatically due to hosting it, but there's still 32 teams that make the World Cup.

agreed, same as Oceana. Lump them in with Asia. Fuck the costs. FIFA can cover it. Same with CONCACAF--lump them in with CONMEBOL. I agree that Oceania shouldn't have an automatic spot, but for the sake of the region (and the AFC, which already has too many nobodies) they should keep it how it is. In any case, it will probably end up being 5th place AFC v Oceania for a World Cup spot from now on, at least it should be. It's irrevelant to me now anyway, Australia are not only in the AFC but we're the highest ranked AFC nation. Plus with the success of the A-League (that is, apart from the token NZ club), football has never been better in this country. I heard about it, but never followed it. Are Australia now qualifying through the Asian set up?

agreed, same as Oceana. I propose the winner of the CONCACAF plays the winner of the Oceanic region for the right to play the team who finishes 5th in South America. Can't leave out both Mexico and the US, sorry. Mexico is too good to leave out and they can't beat the US. Maybe we could have Mexico vs Oceanic champ then USA vs 5th place in South America. I'm sure I can stretch to that.

Not when it consists of a pen and paper and 'red, yellow. yellow. yellow. blue. blue. yellow.'! I never even thought of that! In fairness though, if that was so simple then someone would have a score of about 250 now. I'd like to categorically state I did not cheat in Simon. Just for the record. Pud on the other hand..........

I'd say that CONCACAF don't deserve an automatic World Cup place.

Agree, I can't see that story having any crediblity in court. She doesn't have a leg to stand on...... This thread is pushing gold.

Simon is actually not that hard I find. My brain seems to work on stuff like that. Although in fairness, I couldn't possibly have done a Pud and made up my high score.

I know they can be dodgy, but for those who're interested.... England still 5th, despite losing over 100 points last month, Scotland up to 25th from 34th. Not bad at all. Interestingly, Northern Ireland are now ranked above the Republic of Ireland. Wales fucking about in 77th place. http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/statistics/ind...ct-2006,00.html

Down with Pud! Down with Pud! Down with Pud! Down with Pud! Down with Pud! *anarchy*

You may have to break that down for this absolute computer mong.

Done.

Only just opened this topic now, but -------->

Roeder is an idiot if he wants to keep Titus Bramble. How much worse does Bramble have to get before Roeder realises it? Scary.
