Norseman Erik the Red called it Greenland when he settled there after his extradition for murder circa 1000AD. He thought by calling it Greenland it would sound more pleasant and he would attract more settlers. I wonder if Erik was red? Very funny, But Greenland was green long time ago,that was the time when global warming was not newsworthy This global warming issue is only about money,the sooner you learn the better Our climate has always change, and will always change, we can't do anything about it what you should worry much more about is the oil disaster in the Mexican gulf, does anyone think they are telling us how bad it really is? I thought so The sooner I learn the better? I haven't even expressed what my opinion is either way, merely pulled you up on a historical fallacy about the naming of Greenland. However if I do decide to learn from somebody else's view on this matter, it'll probably be from somebody who can form a cohesive sentence.

You think that's bad? Here in Oz we now have a ginger welsh woman in charge.

That's gold Ponky

He'll fit in a treat then.

Eh? I'm afraid that's nonsense mate. How is Heskey a "Glamour" player. Or Lennon. Or Barry. Fabio may not be getting the best out of the team in this tournament, but he isn't simply picking "glamour players", let's be honest. he's playing to the structure that worked so well in qualifying, but it seems no longer to be working that well I should qualify that statement a little - the glamour comment was really just a dig at playing Lampard & Gerrard, the 'glamour' players, and this insistence at trying to work them both into a 4-4-2 at the expense of other good players playing in their correct positions. Under no circumstances am I describing Heskey as a glamour player

But we ARE always shit at tournaments. Practically every time. It's like Groundhog day. . I think Capello did a bloody excellent job in qualifying, FWIW. But now he's fallen into the trap that got Eriksson and McLaren in trouble - trying to squeeze the best players into the team by playing them out of position. Never has worked, never will work.

Not good enough for Villa. Prefer Luke Young any day. Not that he gets a look in anyway...

Lol, this world cup has been exactly what I expect from England! We're always shit at tournaments. Even when we reached the semis in 1990 we were shit for the first two games. Overpaid, overrated, over-inflated egos, picking the glamour players rather than the best TEAM... same old story frankly.

Daily Mail? Hmmmm.....

This is awesome stuff from the French, couldn't make it up.

Gerrard has been shit for England most times he's played.. so has Lampard too in fairness, but at least Lampard has had yet another brilliant season, whereas Gerrard has just had a woeful season. Lampard > Gerrard every time for me. But yes.. round pegs in round holes please!

Ironically it's his groin that's gone too... his knees are fine. :?

Getting a wee bit carried away there methinks!

I suspect we could replace Milner in terms of footballing ability for less than $15 million. However, i suspect finding someone with his ability AND his attitude, someone who works as hard for the team, would prove rather more difficult, if not impossible. City have absolutely no chance of signing him now. If we're even considering it, which I seriously doubt, it won't happen until after the world cup - a couple of top performances could see his value double.

James Milner. I fail to see how it could be anyone else

Good post mate Indeed. Well said that man.

Luke Young was many fans player of the season last year. Not quite sure what he did to deserve being replaced by a centre back this season. Weird.

I'll give Houghton til October - if they're not in the top 4 by then, we'll see him sacked and Keegan will come back.

I agree about Warnock briny... I reckon Luke Young is actually a better left back than him anyway. Less prone to making costly mistakes, certainly. But _please_, no more Cuellar at right back. About time we rested/dropped a whole bunch of the players from the Chelsea game. And give Delf a start, he offers far more of a goal threat than Heskey or a half fit Gabby. Problem is it seems half of our fringe players are carrying knocks.

Play a top quality right back at right back? Pfft, now yer just being ridiculous.

So moaning bitching fans who post on the Internet and ring up radio shows are now being given some credit for our success in the cups this year? If we win a trophy, MON should give it straight to those fans as a thank you. It's only right.

The only reason Vidic was back alongside Gabby was cos he was tugging at his shirt! As you say, sadly not wholly unexpected.
