New Zealand or Peru is the last match to be decided. 

 Do we have any New Zealand or Peru NUFC fans here ?  Just in case I fancy a bet on the match 

Expand  

We used to have a poster called Paddington who came from Peru. Bit of a hairy cunt IIRC? You'll get it if he reads any anti Peruvian posts I tells ya!

They were busy qualifying for tournaments not almost doing it 

 

tbh without McGrath, Baggio amongst others probably would've had a shot of getting that tally in a single game

Expand  

Two things stick out about McGrath for me. One, a canny anecdote from an old workmate, 'a mag at work' I suppose. Two, 'big Ron' getting serenaded at SJP after the fifth goal had flew in with 'where's your drunken centre half?' as McGrath had allegedly blew the game on account of still being pissed the day of the game.

There's a bit in his autobiography (worth a read, if you haven't already) where he was stinking of drink from the night before and almost marked a peak-era Shearer out of the match (he was playing for Derby at the time).

[Park Life 71]

He was known to gamble all night before games. Or was that Tony Adams? I know Adams and Merson were big time casino rats.

There's that one chip he did with backspin to the forward. Can't remember the game.

I don't recall that one tbh.

[Park Life 71]

It was either to Lineakar (with wrist strapping) or Keegler and he scores. World Cup?

[The Fish 11410]

Speaking of Merson and Gascoigne. That drinking game they used to play where they'd get four of them together, and they'd all put a wad of cash on the table. then drink red wine and pop sleeping tablets, last one to fall asleep wins the money

From the spot. Our player at the time...only one of ours at the cup that year from memory.

Did Owen not go to 06, drastically unfit and then do his cruciate/knee/whatever it was against Ecuador?

[Dr Gloom 24239]

i blame northern rock entirely for that

You on about Hoddle with the pass btw?

Anyway KK never scored in a World Cup and Lineker with the strapping was Mexico '86 but none of his 6 goals were scored that way if memory serves me.

My mistake, he did it very early against Sweden which was England's second game. Some might say that Owen was never truly a Newcastle player...

Yeah God as the Yids used to call him. If it was Keegler it would have been Euros.

Same apply for suadi arabia and iraq aye?

 

Aye Ireland back then were lost without Houghton, we'll ignore McGrath, Bonner, Keane, Irwin, Aldridge, Staunton, who all had a either a bit of talent or medals from club level   

 

Expand  

Didn't lose to them. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't relish traveling to Saudi or Iran (to play Iraq) to do anything.

Not getting results against Iceland, Mexico, Austria and Georgia are worse. That's before you consider a 5-1 defeat at home against Denmark. 

 

Think about it.

[The Fish 11410]

You two need this? 

[ewerk 34165]

Well it's certainly of no use to you.

I knew Iraq hadn't been playing at home but I hadn't realised a lot of their "home" games were in Iran. Fair to say times change, I reckon
