  1. Pretty they can be knocked out but Portugal and Denmark would need to beat them on GD Russia had a better goal diff than Greece. This stupid rule has you square in the last game and goal diff is irrelevant I thought. Maybe Portugal would need better GD but Denmark could have the worst but beat Germany therefore qualify??? It's a dumb rule which ever way.
  2. So with this crazy bullshit that saw Russia out, if Denmark and Portugal win tonight then Germany are out?
  3. Stop MONning on about MON you MONning MON MON. Jesus H MON on MONher MONking bike.
  4. right, this is my biggest, number 1, most huge **** problem with the british attitude to football. it has been the problem with our national side forever, the problem with how we coach kids, the main reason we don't encourage or produce technically gifted players too. for **** sake, KEEPING THE BALL IS DOING SOMETHING WITH IT. keeping the ball for it's own sake means YOUR TEAM HAVE THE BALL AND THE OTHER ONE DOESN'T. they cannot score without the football. if he gets a chance and all he does all season **** long is KEEP THE BALL FOR OUR TEAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK. he will be an invaluable asset. don't normally shout with caps lock, but i hate people sputing all this bullshit about "tippy-tappy ineffective football". all the best sides in the history of the game back to puskas' hungary have kept the ball well. once you make sure you can keep it, then you can start thinking about scoring with it. much harder to score without it... Bang on. We need him back. Even looking at Swansea, would they have finished as high as they did unless they kept majority possession most of the time. They pass it around and if no one is available going forward they will keep it in the middle a bit or go back in order to keep possession so the other team don't have the ball thus meaning they can't score. Watching Germany against Holland and focusing on Schweinsteiger in particular, he marshals their play in the opposition half, always looking for the return ball and playing back if need be but in the attacking half and with the intent of going forward and creating an opening. We need someone like that.
  5. What the ****? Can someone explain how Russia have better goal difference than Greece and are out?? I have never seen the like of this before
  6. I think someone needs to point out that an obvious negative point is Australia is full of Aussies... :wink:
  7. Starship Troopers is one of my favourite films, probably the best out of Robocop, Total Recall of Paul Verhoeven's because of the farcical send up of American Imperialism. I understand the book has no similarity in this sense but I haven't read it myself. On what I've seen recently, I found The Wrestler very good on all accounts although it might as well have been subtitled "a dramatisation of Jake the Snake in the documentary, Beyond The Mat" Super 8 was awful. Real letdown waste of time.
  8. My HTC Desire died day before S3 launch in NZ. Would rather have blue but really good two week deal on from Vodafone and no guarantee they bring it back when blue arrives. Battery is insane. My HTC desire used to run out after 14 hr of average usage. Charged S3 on Tuesday night. Wanted to run it down fully before doing next charge. Thrusday night couldn't wait as I wanted to go to bed so charged it for the second time as it had got down to 15% Over 48hrs!!!! Maybe havent been using it as much as Desire as haven't reloaded all the apps and such but fark me...
  9. Don't worry. On that basis MON will sign him.
  10. MON was shit and we are well to be rid of him. Spent loads of money on shit players and won N-O-T-H-I-N-G. I wish people would stop jizzing over that useless word removed then I could stop commenting on said jizzing.
  11. so how comes ancelotti and mourinho didnt win it then based with the same core of players? i just find it unbelievable that people dismiss RDM's role in their win. its ridiculous. This. RDM has achieved what the others tried and failed to do with pretty much the same players. Going on this logic Avram Grant its a great manager who had the misfortune of not having Bayern completely **** up their penalties in CL final...
  12. Martinez would more likely get us relegated than OGS....IMHO
  13. OGS was my 1st choice when he was 40-1 I liked Houllier and wanted him to stay.
  14. ??? Is that some kind of Haiku? Back on topic, Lambert is too like MON and for that reason I'm out.
  15. I would like to know if Julie and friends believe "Man" has only been around for 6000ish years because of the Ussher chronology from the 17th century. Adam begat begat begat begat baguette etc. Please tell me that's not what you underpin your beliefs on...
  16. **** the Salvation Army. My mum does homecare in NZ. The Sallies won the contract off the government several years ago and the workers have had no payrise in 3 years and the wage is just above minimum and the Sallies are **** creaming it off the no challenge contract. words removed! What a rubbish argument anyway. Your trying to advocate debate about religion and falling into the trap that if people believe in hocus pocus it shouldn't be challenged because they do good things. Do you think charitable religious groups don't proselytise?
  17. O'Neill was **** shit and on this and other threads it's only the MON acolytes that are wailing and gnashing there teeth to continue the bullshit agricultural 70's football crying out for someone like Lambert and if this post contravenes the forum rules I don't give a shit. MON style football is shit and thats what we've engineered towards for to long and soon may it change.
  18. I postedyesterday his odds had halved from 40-1 to 20-1 within an hour. What do I win?
  19. I posted the other day that his odds had halved from 40-1 to 20-1 in an hour and I didn't get on FUUUUUUUU!!!!
  20. There's no doubt he's being offered the job, it's down to him whether he wants it and that is the biggest stumbling block.
  21. Quiz question. What two films are linked by the quote, "Clever girl" One is piss easy and BOF isn't allowed to answer.
