The ref tried to ensure Italy got through last night but they were even too shit for that. Football is cyclical, Holland didn't qualify in 82 or 86 after having one of the best teams in history in the 70s. Italy would've been dull as shit anyway. They're miles from the squad of 2006. Bobby Charlton climbed out of a plane wreck that killed mist of his teamates to become a world and European champion. Given that context I think his words carry a lot of weight.

Buffon crying his fuckin eyes out the dirty great jessie...Bobby Charlton says crying with emotion at victory is fine but crying because you got beat just isn't on. I agree

it's taken a couple of months but tdan is starting to crack. Good work everyone Aaron Hughes starting for the Brits

Think Souness rates Zico in that match as the best player he's ever played against. About 35 degrees at pitchside that evening. Another player said Brazil were so good they let Scotland have the ball in the areas where when they inevitably lost possession it was easy for Brazil to play one ball and they were in on goal. Lots of games played at 4pm just when we were getting home from school, we watched Italy put Brazil out in probably the best game is ever watched up to that point.

Wtf are you the ghost of Jimmy Hill?

With my old man watching 76 cup final manu v Southampton, the following year he's fuckin mortal watching Scotland v England after the lunchtime sesh, throwing his shoes about the living room & roaring like a caged bear, never mind his English born wife and 3 kids, when that goal post broke in two he fuckin loved it I didnt suppprt anyone so one day i asked him who he supported..."Leicester City"..." why them??!" I asked...." the manager is an old mate of mine" It was true too, hed done his national service in Malaya with Jock Wallace in the KOSBs. Then he took me and my brother to our first game, a friendly Poole Town v Southampton, I jumped 10 feet out of the stand to get Lawrie Mac's autograph, got a clip round the lug for that. After that we'd moved to Scotland and it was David Narey v Brazil in the 82 world cup, when that ball hit the back of the net he jumped out his seat and ran around the living room until his specs fell off and smashed on the hearth At that point I was 12, and I wanted to go and watch proper football he said " I don't want you going to Glasgow and getting involved in that bloody nonsense, if you want to you can go to Newcastle with Bobby Pringle and watch them, they're not very good but they've just signed Keegan" ....the rest as they say is history..hes just turned 82 now and is depressed as fuck anout the state of the Scotland team (has been for 20 years now tbf ) but still loves to watch a good game. Lucky still to have him around

Is this why he barely played at Dortmund?...

@wykikitoon Do the neighbours in the middle house in any way go on to the land that you own to access their land? If its not an issue for them or you as we speak, and youve already said the easement is redundant, its not really an issue. How did the buyers come by the information? If its redundant it seems strange that they actually know. Is it in the Land Registry title document? if it is its not likely to be "redundant" as its literally on the plan. Getting the estate agents involved seems a bit pointless. yours sincereley The current Mrs PL. former conveyancing secretary to posh fuckers, now doing personal injury; "where theres blame theres a claim"

I didnt understand it at the time but am more sure than Rayvin is in thinking Blair was pretty much the ultimate neo liberal. Its why he was close with Bush and why Obama was on good terms with Cameron, theyre all tied in to this massive shift of public money into the private sector and also willing to go into massive debt both to corporate institutions and foreign powers eg China.

In a lot of ways am a natural labour voter but as ive got older Ive realised some things about myself; one, Ive always had a deep mistrust of idealogies and those who espouse them and two, am a fairly natural fence sitter in general. Add that to a fairly strong current of Liberalism in my old mans family (my gran was present at Jedburgh town hall when David Steele was first elected, 1966 I think?) then its fairly easy to see which way Ive mostly voted. I really liked Charles Kennedy, but I voted Labour in 92 & the last two GEs. Blair turned me off complelty as a person, Im fairly happy to say I saw through him straight away, but I understood completly why he could win most fair minded Labour folk such as yourself and the whole country over. Thing is CT is a blatant tory, but many of them were sedeuced too and its my opinion that theyre the ones who complain most loudly about him now when they were utterly complicit in putting him into power. Theyre also the ones who bang on about Brown selling the gold etc etc whilst not uttering a dicky bird about what the likes of HMHM's wife and Happy Face's brother have been through under the tories.

I can sit here and say with a clear concience that i never voted for Tony Blair. Can you? For the record I think you're just the sort of empty vessel that was initially taken in by him.

Patel plainly bought and paid for by the Israel lobby, seemingly with the complicit approval of the PM who orders her minister to take one for the team. I keep being surprised as to how utterly horrific this shower are but thats very quickly replaced by a feeling of depression at how Labour cant summon the ability to drive the fuckers out

Plainly coming here once Amanda & the Arabs start their residency on Barrack Road

Oh and there you are Am not joking, it happend. Youve all been warned

I shouldve screen shot the massive BANNED (SO YOU ARE) that appeared on my phone about 10am this morning whilst trying to log on to this esteemd forum. Reckon some wisearse in belfast councils IT bunker was having a fuckin laugh

Similarities between us and West Ham....owners from a retail background, players being brought in for the manager by others, 4 million net spend in the last window. Didnt realise that when fat sam left they just didnt renew his contract when it ended, Bilic is in the last year of his and wouldve been gone in May anyway. Moyes is a fuckin hopeless appointment, theyd be better off with Redknapp till the end of the season but he splits opinion with Hammers, he stabbed Billy Bonds in the back to get the WH job in the 90s.

I was sat watching the news this morning and they cut to Trump and he said, and i dont know why I was surprised, " who could have foreseen this happening?"

Hes at a shop window club in the most popular league on the planet. The Pozzos will be wanting to sell him on to a champions league club for tens of millions in the next 18 months. It's working for Watford at the moment but it's unlikely to go their way long term iyam.

Couldnt be arsed with the rest of his fuckin nonsense. But if he's over 18 he's fuckin tragic.

Sounds like you think you're entitled to "follow" a winning football team because you get up early? That's just bizarre

Just singling out the particularly bad bits from one of the worst forum posts I've had the mispleasure of reading since the advent of wireless broadband. The club, in spite of Ashley, is slowly moving forward and you're advocating a twitter onslaught on one of our seemingly grossly overpaid players? I'm not sure if frustration over a poor performance just makes people appear phenomenally fuckin stupid or whether they achieved that state some time ago

Mike Basset tastic "FOUR FOUR FOOKIN TWO"

Aye Napoli have got to go to Doneskt and win, then hope city beat Shakatak in the last game. Far from nailed on... I couldn't stand the thought of watching spurs beating Real in front of 80k+ at Wembley. I respect Pochettino and his players but the whole club remain cunts iiyam
