Unbelievable!

So Uruguay make the World Cup semis and drop 11 places, Ghana make the quarter finals and drop 18 places and Mexico beat USA to win the CONCACAF cup and go up 19 places. Maybe England have been affiliated to CONCACAF and Jack Warner is to head up the FA?

Half share Arsenal season ticket available for next season. North Bank ?700 for the half. PM me if interested and I will put you in touch with my friends who is selling.

[Mick Mac]

We can see you sneaking out....

[Alan Medic]

Does this mean you draw lots to see the 1st half or the 2nd half of matches?

[red devil]

...and what about Champions League games?...oops, I'm being a bit premature there ;-)

[kpc]

You are the referee....

Women's World Cup: Aus v EqG

[maxxi]

That's how to get away with a handball - no 'Henry-like' flick but hold onto it and carry it a little, this will so baffle the ref - who won't be able to believe his/her eyes - that he/she will convince themselves it coulodn't have happened.

[red devil]

Sod goal line technology, we want rush goalie, hilarious! :)

[Alan Medic]

What do women know about football eh?

[Alan Medic]

Oh.........8500

[????]

Ignoring the blatant bump.....

...watched extra time and penalties...the women goal keepers aren't that good, level with Green i'd say.

Penalties again England

[Mick Mac]

Did England lose again ?

[Sandperson]

For Anna:

[red devil]

I think Billy is just peeed off because he still can't work out how to do the Rubik's Cube...

[ratty]

Modric? Surely he cannot now play again for Spurs, (which is exactly the effect he is trying ot have!)

[red devil]

Another player badly advised by his pound signs in eyes agent.

They really should think these things through properly before going public.

This 'gentleman's agreement' he alegedly had with Levy about being allowed to leave if a 'bigger' club came in for him, was around the same time he signed a new 6 year contract...why didn't he have it written into the new contract at the time...doh!

[red devil]

I wonder what Atila is up to these days...

!Contains naughty swear words

[Mick Mac]

Can someone let me know how Rangers got on last night. I had a dream that they lost to Malmo. Jah might be able to help. I know he became a fan earlier this year.

[SCSB79]

Yup - lost one nil. Your dream was correct!

Nearly as bad as Strachan's first competitive game in Europe when Celtic got horsed 5-0 by Braga!!

[red devil]

That 5-0 was against Artmedia Bratislava, eventually losing 5-4 on aggregate.

In Lennon's first Euro match they lost 3-0 to Braga (2010), eventually losing 4-2 on aggregate.

[SCSB79]

I knew it started with a B and ended with an A!

[red devil]

Thanks Scholesy...

[Otta]

Right, I'm going to give this thread another go...

RE: Scholes, I'm no fan of his club, and don't know much about the man, but a bloody good player! Best of luck to him.

Couldn't tackle for shit though.

Am excited about this season, think Liverpool should be back in the top 4 mix, and play some exciting stuff...

I admit I wasn't sure about Kenny for the long term, but like what he has done so far, and hope he proves me wrong. He certainly seems to be looking ahead.

I think Chelsea might struggle, but I've said that before, and they've kept going, so who knows. Arsenal will have another season of nearlys.

Championship looks very interesting this season too.

[red devil]

I think we'll all get along fine this season Otta...famous last words!

Be careful what you wish for though, Scholes has joined the Utd coaching staff ;-)

[Otta]

Teaching the art of tackling I hope.

RD, I never didn't get along with you as far as I remember. But anyway, the past is forgotten, lets just talk footy and chill.
