Football Focus

[Jah Lush]

Atila, you're never interested in England games. You only like watching the Arse, oh and maybe Barca. You're normally out playing football for the Under 12s on a Wednesday night right? I'll agree that most friendlies are crap but come on, it is Brazil FFS.

What I would like to see though is Ireland give the French a bloody good tonking. I may even go to The Castle to watch it, though more likely the CPT.

[Keef]

Frankly, I'm with Atila on this one. Besides, Brazil these days boast players like Lucas, so they're not what they once were!

That has to be the funniest post I've read in a long, long time. Is this the same Dunne that couldn't get near him when he was over here, and was breathing through his arse trying to catch up with him. Nearly as funny as watching Carragher trying to keep pace with him.

too easy Mick

Hey Jah how are you old chap? Did you enjoy watching your game at our place. I know I did. Leadboots King really should think about hanging up his boots.

Who plays for? Liverpool. Who, strangely enough aren't what they once were.

Blimey Jah, you're in a combatative mood! :))

If he tried to hang up his boots he'd be out injured for another month.

Lucas is a great player, unfortunately at Liverpool he is not encouraged to venture over the half way line. Hopefully tomorrow, if he plays, he'll be allowed to cut loose just like he did against the Mancs few weeks back when he totally dominated the United midfield.

Yeah! I loved it so much I bought the DVD. Fabulous stuff. It's called 42 minutes. A Commorative DVD celebrating Tottenham's first 42 minutes against the Arsenal. Do you want a copy?

Objective as ever....

Er, that's basically my point mate. Cheers for making it for me.

Matthew, Lucas is sh!t, it's that sort of player that Liverpool give far too much time on the pitch, which is why they are where they are. Well that's what I think anyway.

[Sandperson]

Phew! Thanks goodness I didn't have to say that.

[matthew123]

I think the problem is Keef, he and Mascherano are both being used as holding midfielders doing 1 man's job. He rarely get's the opportunity to express his full ability in that restricted position. I've seen enough of him to say he is really a box to box player with good power and pace, and good passer of the ball. Hopefully he will play against England and demonstrate his qualities.

[Keef]

Perhaps you're right, Babel looked great against England. So I guess that takes us back to Rafa, which isn't where I intended to go, but it has to be one or the other.

[Mick Mac]

Did someone bring up rafa?

Well.....

(Anna does not allow me to talk about Rafa.)

[Sharon_H]

Mick, what don't you get about the fact that most match going Liverpool fans want him to stay!

He's managing with one hand tied behind his back.

[matthew123]

I'm not saying there is a witch hunt against Rafa but Mick I think you need to look at the bigger picture before you jump on the anti Rafa band wagon. For instance we don't know what those damn Yanks put in Rafa's contract. For all we know there is a clause that says Voronin has to play. We really don't know. Anyway Rafa is a good lad and because of that we should not blame Rafa for anything that goes wrong. Are you on message now Mick? :))

Mick's won Angler of the year for his fine work on this thread

No, this'll be the fitter more experienced with better positional play Dunne against the older and inevitably slower Henry. Don't underestimate Dunne, look what's happened to City's goals against column since he went.

Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to Bahrain vs New Zealand. Lots of family connections in NZ and this is a very big deal for them. Eurosport, 7am kick off, second leg, start at 0-0.

and so do all Utd fans...the bottom line is you can't afford to sack him even if the Yanks wanted to...

[Mick Mac]

relieved to see michel platini is not the referee tonight. (Its prob his nephew instead.).

There seems to be a real 6 nations style atmosphere at the ground.

[Sharon_H]

I'm not arsed about United fans and if the Yanks want to sack him, our fans don't want him to go.

[Mick Mac]

anelka and the french centre forward gignac look very sharp. France look a better team than italy did a few weeks ago. Ireland holding out ok tho and a few minor scares for french defence. A good referee keeping things calm. So far so good.

Thanks for your kind and generous offer which I must decline. I have an offer for you, a DVD called "Arsenal win title at shite hart lane (again) season 03/04" alternatively titled "Watch spuds fans celebrate a 2 2 draw as if they've won the league forgetting it's the opposition that that have just won the league". It's a great comedy!
