Park Life

There are no Americans.

Might as well gerld this now.

If I had to listen to a 15 sec ad at the start of the song I wouldn't give a shit really...

Unicorn more like. lol

Shit on a stick.

Basically they've realised: 1. Being at war with your own fans is not a good idea. & 2. The recording industry rips them off as much as it does the consumer. The recording industry will still win though, they have too much money not to do so. Why don't artists just sell their own music from their own website?? Aye that's partially what they are beginning to realise (as are the recording companies in horror) - it doesn't even have to be their own websites. Record companies. lol

An eagle will swoop down and sign the contract.

How about Beckham to bend one in, in the 90th minute of the final??

Parky blatently believes in magic. You only have to wake up and look at the sun.

That's what everyone who buys a ticket does, really. It's true it is a real shame he "had" to show his numbers after the draw. Takes away a lot of the wow! Basically yes.

Thing is he had to reveal the no's before the draw...It isn't really magic otherwise. I don't fall for all the legal bullshit....Anyone can guess the no's without fear of legal claptrap.

True enough, I think it's vital if we have any chance of winning it that Rooney, Rio and Gerrard are fit, if any one of them is missing I think we'd give a good account but definitely fall short. Reading Ant's comments, and yours it's always struck me, despite Britain's murderous past in Ireland, a large portion of the Irish people don't actually hate England when it comes to football, certainly no where near as much as the Scottish, maybe it's better education I don't know. Parky, Agbonlahor is one of the worst capped players in England's history, we have no alternative to Heskey if we want a strong cunt to win balls in the air, I think Carlton Cole's recent performances justify a squad position. Aggy can play on the right or in the center mind. I like the idea of bringing him on when Lennon is knackered. Just don't see CC as international class. I was thinking on the bog this morning that if we had a Drogba upront we'd be unstoppable.

We can only live in hope, but I have my doubts about this latest scenario.

To be honest the squad is no better than 2004, 2006 or 2008. We've had the players to win trophies for at least 6 years, as a pair you wouldn't swap Terry and Ferdinand for any of them, you won't find a better attacking full back than Johnson (he needs to tighten up though), Lampard and Gerrard have as much attacking potential as ANY midfielders in the world (I include Iniesta in that) and Carlos Tevez is rated as world class, well he is a very very very poor mans Wayne Rooney which says it all about him. Added to that you have players who in previous years were in and out like Lennon who are thriving, there is genuine optimism, but as I said it's largely the same players Sven and SMAC had. Either Capello is a genius or England are finally coming of age, a bit of both I think, the shape of the team is great, and they're all playing with their heads rather than their hearts, but with no mean attacking intent which was completely devoid in Germany 2006. I'm not going to say England will do this that and the other in the World Cup, because I and many others have in the past and it's come back to haunt us, we've never been a bad side, I mean the last three tournaments we've been in we've only lost two games, I just think we've added that bit of structure and purpose to our play. IF we do win the World Cup, I'd offer Capello an eight year deal and knight the cunt, because he is without doubt the best manager we could have. Another thing in our favour (which we've never had before) is a cool climate, it's like November here, and the perfect conditions for higher tempo football. I fear no one, Spain are a good side but we can beat them, they don't know how to win tournaments (daft thing to say as they're European Champions) against Germany they were so nervous, and for me they haven't got that winning mentality in big tournaments (same with England to a point) which vastly inferior sides like Italy and Germany have. Brazil are a good side, but maybe for the first time I think we are their equals at least, Argentina are finished, to me we are head and shoulders better than Holland, it was just a friendly but a virtual England B side dominated against them, and after that who else is there. Germany will have to qualify via the play offs, as will France, Portugal, and don't get me started on Italy, not one class outfield player, even Zambrotta's almost finished. The worry is with them they're horrible lucky, disgusting, filthy, flukey bastards. As the worst world champions in history, and as Greece proved, if luck is on your side anything can happen. Jocks reading this will say "aye its eh same every time England get tae eh werruld cup or eh euros er gonnae win eh cunt, and every time ay end up look fucken pure pish". There is a small element which is true, and I don't know who will win it if I'm honest, but I think with current form, our players, and definitely this confidence inspiring manager, England definitely justify third favouritism, we should fear absolutely no one. I would take Young and Aggy rather than Owen and Carlton Cole etc...

You've been usurped by several bigger cocks

So much fear and so little time.

Let's have a reality check here. This stuff about needing it for his job is basically guff. Deep down Fish (whom I like) just wanted to get more involved with this here board. PP made the classic mistake of making him a mod probably without conferring with say for arguments sake Craig and that is the real reason Craig (Shareholder) is being flaky (compounded by his 'real' life issues). Of course there are sub-issues and other such peer group stuff in the mix, but the truth is that actually we all care a lot about these boards and sensed there was a tremor in 'the force'.

What a giggle this thread has been - and with a full cast.

Lovely.

Badges will be available from the tuck shop in due course.

Talk about blowback.

Gerld??

When the pyramid is lost and the neigbours cat found the time will be right.
