[StraferJack]

so let's be clear

what we are looking for is:

a remote weekend house rental (no neigbours to annoy)

several EDF footie fans

beers

food

a day off on the monday

I'm in

[????]

yup - I think this has legs.

[El Pibe]

There's a house in ireland fits the bill...

[StraferJack]

In so many ways. And yet....

[StraferJack]

Imagine 20 lairy England fans hitting a pub in new Ross post group qualification !

[Jah Lush]

Italy are traditionally very slow starters, so I reckon a bore draw against the Italians, embarrassed by the Uruguayans and if we're lucky maybe scrape a win against Costa Rica and back home in time for tea.

[maxxi]

Best case it'll be down to goal difference btwn Italy & England and we'll just lose out thanks to a 93rd minute Walker own goal v Costa Rica.

[Otta]

Or we may just get a bit of luck... Come on people, I'm not one for unrealistic expectations, but this negativity is bringing me down man!

Memories of my stag weekend in Donegal in 2000, about 15 England fans cheering on Shearer to beat Germany, in a pub in Donegal Town. No-one batted an eyelid, God Save the Queen an all. All good natured of course.

As Tommy Doherty used to say. They'll be home before the postcards.

Fancy having a fire drill during a match. Someone needs to have a word with the safety people at Old Trafford.

[StraferJack]

And rvp close to handing a transfer request?

The poor "little boy"

[Alan Medic]

The vultures are hovering.............have been for how many years?

[Parkdrive]

Rich Mancs draw, and CSKA Fulham lose against the Orcs. Along with Gollums charges losing, this has been a lovely Saturday.

[Jah Lush]

Ah, PD, would have been perfect if Spurs had lost wouldn't it? Sorry to have let you down.

Good to see Sperz players scoring a terrific winner to beat the hapless Sunderland...........oh wait.

[????]

Forest away...looks like we'll be concentrating on the relegation struggle

[maxxi]

We need the distraction - I feel a cup/relegation combo coming on.

Carroll will probably be back and want to impress potential buyers with a good cup run - he's probably spent his downtime looking for holes in his contract - betting relegation will see him out the door.

deja vu again

[Alan Medic]

*1-0 to the Arsenal*.........oh wait!

[StraferJack]

Good game that

I'm no Roy Keane fan, in fact I think he's a nasty peice of work. But I thinkhe has a point here

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25307471

(the bit about the current situation at United, not the rest of it).

I do however think that him talking about someone else's ego is the very definition of pot and kettle.

that documentary is so getting watched tonight
