Did the glory days really exist? Or, is this merely nostalgic drivel? driven by the embarrassing reality that the original glory guys no longer have anything of interest to post. Yes, let's blame the witless newbies! Wasn't like this in my day! The forum is great, long live the forum!

England aren't good enough to be in a position to choke, rubbish!

Pikey's and filth, you're a real charmer.

'Filth'? Are we back in the 70s?

You do the chokey chokey and you turn around...

Is this shite still going? Pls let's move on. No football to talk about this week, ok, will England beat Sri Lanka? Wrong thread etc

Off topic but I hate stag dos with a passion and I have two this summer. It's like NYE but you're also stuck with a whole load of fun pals you hardly know. My advice keep it simple, a big nigh in a battle cruiser. Forget the paintballing, forget the ironic bingo, just go out and get hammered and end up somewhere shite. Perfect.

Simon, sure it Sky's fault? they have little or no control over the world feed provided by ESPN.

???s and Keef, hope neither of you leave the thread. As for 'plastic fans' etc. not sure who it was aimed at but think it's out of order. At school you were a plastic fan if you didn't go the match and thus, your opinion on anything football was discredited regardless of your passion. Many kids didn't go to the match simply because they couldn't afford it. I took this belief with me to university, (ie don't go to the match you're no fan, don't come from the town, you're a glory hunter) where, thankfully I met enough people to make me realise that overall, these claims are nonsense. Some of the most passionate, ardent football fans I have met (unfortunately Liverpool)aren't from the city. Two of the lads I go to Everton games with are from Hertfordshire, they are both more knowledgeable and passionate about the club than I am. It's easy enough to spot a bullshitter but to discredit everyone who neither goes to the match or hails from the appropriate town as plastic, or, unworthy of debate is a disservice to many. That said, I do love a chorus of, 'can you spot the scouser in the kop'.

Will England qualify? If Bangladesh win today, eng will have to beat the West Indies if they are to qualify for the quarters. I predict an early exit for Strauss et al.

Yes it was. Whilst on the subject good old Stevie G has a great history of going down like a sack of shyte but then that's Stevie.

Rubbish, it was full of intent. Because it wasn't as bad as Keane's doesn't render it a technically challenged tackle. It was a dirty tackle by a very good, yet often dirty player.

'Here we go, another one trying to pedal something for nothing. We can spot your sort a mile off son, go and play, We've seen it all before, you're dealing with forum's big guns now'. Self righteous and patronising.

No, just not going to make arsey comments directed towards the original poster.

I'm with Hugenot here. The self-righteousness on here is nauseating at times.

I think carragher's was worse than a crap tackle. He followed right through. He's a dirty player with plenty of previous.

So. LFC reign supreme once again. 'You'll never walk alone' . Try telling that to Roy Hodgson. Greatest fans on earth, indeed.

Hardly lucky, won by 5 wkts. Are you beong ireonic?

Not from The Muppets Show? Sounds nice, look forward to popping in.

Choke choke

celebrating in team hotel with the victors, going to be a late one!

Great, thoroughly deserved win for the Irish. A kick up the arse for the prme dona centrally contracted English.

Shite

By the way, massively off topic but if you're not across the cricket right now, I'd suggest you tune in!
