Good craic from Gary Neville.

Fucking RETARDS! Do you realise that if you click on the little square next to the thread title it'll take you to the first post that you haven't yet read? This should be common knowledge, but I'll keep you right, you mongs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/w...any/5138652.stm He's been banned for two matches for punching Julio Cruz in the aftermath of the Germany-Argentina shootout. The weird thing is that he's been given a two match ban, but the second match has been "suspended" to allow him to play in the World Cup final, should Germany get there. Is that sort of thing normal, or is this just FIFA shitting themselves at the prospect of banning one of the hosts players from the final?

I can't picture Sven crying at all. Ronaldo's tears in the Portugal v Holland game were the best. Sat crying on the bench and it turned out he'd only bruised his leg. Jesus wept.

Officially finish at 4:30, but might be around til 5. It's month end so I'm busier than normal. Which doesn't mean a great deal.

Bloody hell! Is this out of the blue or have I been oblivious to some investigations going on?

Very marginally tbh.

"Bedside chiller" and "take a leak" in the same post. Frickin USA-tastic tbh.

Did he do a post-coital version of "The Winds of Change" for you?

Two LITRES of water before bed!? I can't even manage two glasses. Freak!

I think 99% of Newcastle fans would love for us to sign him. It's only 1% likely though, surely? 155818[/snapback] I'd say it's even less likely than that tbh.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but how funny were Wright's comments after they showed that Ricky Gervais skit with the midget in it? "I dunno what it is about little people like that, but they always make me laugh." The smiles on Lineker, Shearer and Hansen's faces just froze.

And still, inspite of the compelling evidence to the contrary, you still going beleiving the hype about how good our players are. 155765[/snapback] We have got some good players though, especially Gerrard and Rooney as well as the likes of Ashley Cole, Terry and Joe Cole. Sven should have utilised them better. I'm not one of these people who thinks England are fantastic and should win the WC or Euros but, when you look at the teams in the last four, it's frustrating because the teams left in are beatable. Germany aren't technically in the same class as the Argentinians but they could win it and they've played much more attractive football than England have. 155766[/snapback] Germany have the technical part of taking a penalty fairly well sorted. (including Owen Hargreaves) 155769[/snapback] That's mental strength more than technique imo. 155803[/snapback] Read an article about Hargreaves today and it was on about how he went to Munich by himself at 16, had to learn the language from scratch to even be able to talk to anyone, and has basically looked after himself on that basis from then on. I can't think of many English Premiership players who could do that, which in a roundabout way backs up your mental strength argument, although it's probably a different kind of mental strength.

Funny because we finished 7th last season with the same squad (minus Shearer) despite a horrendous first half to the season. I don't see how 5th or 6th is "pie in the sky" taking into account that fact and the assumption that we WILL be making some signings.

Soon to be "World-Cup Winner J-A Boumsong" btw.

The "desperate times" moment to use Walcott and just hope for the best was in extra time v Portugal. Bring him on and let him run at them and hopefully pick up free-kicks around the box. The kid is supposedly like shit off a stick and there were tired players in that Portugal team who couldn't have lived with his pace. I didn't agree with taking him, but IF you're going to then surely that was the last-throw-of-the-dice moment that we all thought he'd been taken for.

5th or 6th. FACT.

As stupid as Rooney was to get sent off, he'll know it was his fault and it'll sink in when he's sitting out the first few Euro qualifiers, and I think he'll learn from it. I'd rather if a scapegoat is required that it's that little turd Ronaldo and not Rooney - the treatment Beckham received after the 1998 World Cup was appalling and I wouldn't want to see Rooney go through the same. Ronaldo on the other hand...

Not according to J69.

His front bottom more like. There's no way he's completely male.

There's nothing "nice" about Germans winning the World Cup tbh. Although I'm definitely warming to the way they play their football under Klinsman.

I want France to win it an'all. Think it would be a class story with the whole Zidane ghost thing, and a fitting end to his career. Failing that then the order is as follows: Italy Germany Portugal

That's your problem. 155650[/snapback] By the way, you've said in another thread that you like him and Portugal because you think they have good looking players. Which renders your girly opinion worthless. 155652[/snapback] As always. 155665[/snapback] That's life, I'm afraid.
