Euro 2012

[El Pibe]

I bow before your superiority in all things oh polymath ;)

[Otta]

God UDT, you really do have the social skills / manners of an autistic 15 year old!

[Jah Lush]

Ahem! To be fair you don't go 22 games unbeaten by being disorganised. I thought France looked very good but were frustrated by England's two banks of four every time they attacked. Roy Hodgson has got us organised (that word again) defensively which is the first thing you have to do. Organisation starts at the back. If we can be more offensive and creative without shirking our defensive responsibilities it's possible we can do a lot better in this tournament. I feel we still have to be very cautious with our work without forgetting our attacking instincts if we are to progress any further. Just a little more positivity in midfield and sharpness in our finishing up front and I think we can go a little further in this competition.

Jah Lush gets it.

It insults like this that makes me treat people like you with contempt.

[Otta]

It's nothing to do with how you treat me (I honestly couldn't care less), it's just the rude way you talk to everyone.

[Otta]

Oh, and it wasn't an insult, it was an observation. One which is probably harsh on autistic 15 year olds.

[*Bob*]

I always wondered what it would be like to see somebody repeatedly tongue their own anus in front of a bemused crowd. Now I know.

With a better-than-50% chance of any drawn teams Having been to war with each other within the last century, the European championships are blessed with that extra subconscious (or not) frisson that the World Cup often lacks.

Adrian Chiles though.. Toby jug of warm piss. 'Nuff said.

I disagree and I know that El Pibe haved defended you in the past. You've just taken this opportunity to give a punch under the guise of the blame game. No doubt, *Bob* has done the same thing too.

[El Pibe]

Fair enough jah, I'm happy to retract the word. Sloppy perhaps, timid maybe, blunt, illiquid.

Far less the threat that they look on paper, England a little more.

And bob, harsh, I'm rather partial to the chiles charm, and as for that frisson I don't know what you're talking about, I mean what's more innocent than Poland-Russia....oh...erm, France-England....bugger, Germany-holland? Oops, ah well, Russia-Czech republic, damn......

[*Bob*]

I haved not just doned that same.

As Roy Walker used to say, "just say what you see".

[Annette Curtain]

When I was about 15 I used to be able t.....

Erm, maybe not !

Absolutely, but as you don't say anything useful it's pretty pointless, ain't it?

Like I said before, what you know is not worth knowing.

@Jah Lush

England should have got a clean sheet against France. I blame Gerrard for turning his back to Nazri's shot.

[bon3yard]

I love this thread, its like a kiddies playground writ large. Good work fellas.

[Otta]

UDT blames Liverpool player. What a massive shock.

[Undisputedtruth]

Otta, you really should watch your tone. Gerrard should never have turned his back to a shot bearing in mind that he is playing in a major tournament. It has nothing to do with him being a Liverpool player.

eta: another Otta's comment designed to caused difficulties for myself.

@bon3yard

You're absolutey right.

[Otta]

Of course UDT, whatever you say.

[*Bob*]

You just don't understand, Otta. Puffing around the local school playing field playing field amateur football on the weekend gives you a unique insight into the professional game which no-one could hope to surpass.

Anyway.. Back to more pressing questions. Has Alan Hansen had a bit of work done since.. Well.. since the last World Cup?

[El Pibe]

Tone bob, tone!!!!!!

[Undisputedtruth]

*Bob* never played football so doesn't understand how the game works. Nor is he in a position to judge others.

Even in amateur football you are coached never to turn your back to a shot.

eta: he

[*Bob*]

Ooh, I had a trial once. It was me knees. If it weren't fer me knees.. Ooh..

[Otta]

That proves it then. UDT is actually a more knowledgeable player than England's captain. If only you were out there with the team.

[*Bob*]

For the love of God can someone please tell me about Alan Hansen's face!!

[Undisputedtruth]

Parker showed how to block a shot, without having to turn his back, in the last game.

I suspect you're making this up.

Anyway, I knew one boy who had a trial. He wasn't very good.
