i'm in, like folk have said there is not alot of players to choose from and i can imagine several teams having very similar teams.

carlos going to chelski would be a great signing for them and for english football imo. ballack on 130k a week is a joke, he's a good player n all but i bet he won't be complaining to much when he's sitting on the bench and collecting his wages at the end of ther week. with formation wise, if chelsea play ballack, lampard, essien and makelele in midfield, all central midfielders reallythe signing of carlos with give more width with the fullbacks i.e ferrera and carlos bombing forward>?

i seen the spanish squad on telly lastnight and fairplay it looks good on paper. spain recently have done poor in the last few world cups, maybe this campaign they could shine to their ability.

from skysports, clubs players of the season according to match ratings: bellamy for us http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=38...yer+of+the+Year

pure class again bob, enjoy your holidays

england and brazil are the favorites for me. my dark horses are czech rep and holland. i really fancy the czech to do well this year and the dutch usually do well in germany.

robinson neville terry carragher a.cole beckham lampard gerrard cole owen rooney i really think ferdinand should be on the bench, he has had a poor season, he is lazy and to be honest 20 odd million bucks worth of ####. terry and carragher could form an awsome partnership imo.

dillo can we see a picture of you?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...rem/4957570.stm has lawro finally seen the light??? a victory

beach balls, rubber rings, party hats, wigs, i hope the guy down at charlton brings the 10ft blow up crocodile too, that was awsome!!! should be a well good day, it will be interesting to see how certain players may play better with no pressure on them.

i think we will play friedel emerton zurab neil gray bentley tugay savage pedersen bellamy kuqi subs: enks, peter, pongo, axe and dickov looks like nelsen, reidy, todd and matteo are all missing through injury. emerton has played right back before i beleve when playing in holland, if hughes doesn't fancy that i think the axe will probably fill in. finish the job in style 3:0 rovers

the last 2 games, neil and reidy have really dug in. due to injuries they have been forced to move positions and have looked rock solid and have been awsome. these are proper players, don't moan and winge about every little thing, just get on with the job and do their best.

1 win in 16 european games it's time to put the record straight

prague would be fun, cheap beer and all that have to say i don't really mind who we play or where we go, just enjoy the ride

who gave lawro crayons this week!!! he's gone for a draw, 1-1 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...rem/4933828.stm

it's just like the real thing

awsome day, jansen was immense that day, if you remember he got subbed by yordi, who are you with 15 mins to go??? sullivan was in goal for spuds and ziege scored the equalizer because tiny taylor was right back and was getting skinned in the first half. got the train up early in the morning, the pubs and the atmo before the game was class, can't remember much after the game, i was smashed. hughes was playing central midfield that day with dunn i had perfect seats int he second tier right behind the goal, iv'e never seen him since but the poor chap who was sitting in front of me (a grant mitchel lookalike) if your on here, i'm sorry for slapping your head all the time and standing on your sholders when we scored, i did say sorry at the time but i think we were so wasted and going wild and by the smile on his face i don't think he was bothered, a top bloke.

also on the bbc!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/4951086.stm good news about our mistro tugay though

my prediction is 0-0 and pen's and thats just a lottery!! after last years thriller is back to the tactics of all out defence and boring keep ball, a traditional european cup final. if henry scores the winner i wonder if the barca faithfull would still want him so badly?

i thought gresko was still injured?

i don't think west ham are to bothered with the defeat and the chase for 6th in the league, they have already sealed europe by making the f.a. cup final. even if west ham lose, liverpool are in the champs league and west ham will be given the u.e.f.a. cup win or lose. i think that is right?

it's all over the news this morning, the guy has the best cv and even though he is not english, at the moment he is the best man for the job. i feel abit sorry for curbs, fat sam etc. but the bottom line is that they just ain't good enough which is a really sad thing to say. scolai has not accepted the deal yet, i beleve he didn't want to be approached until afer the world cup, due to the portuguese public, i mean he's leading portugal into the world cup, they are undefeated in the qualifiers, all he wants is some space to finish the job there first. i wouldn't be surprised if scolari turned around and said no to the fa.

top class once again bob, good stuff april so far has been awful, 2 draws, 2 defeats and europe slipping away!!! losing to big club was a nightmare, the liverpool loss was a disgrace, so hopefully we got something left in the locker we have been saving to give the addicks a pasting and end april on a high. come on!!!!

i was in my local pool club the other week and steve "interesting" davies or also known as the romford slim was there with mathew stevens. stuart cable( ex phonics drummmer) and jamie bolch(sp) athletics were also there just for the crack me thinks . it was a good day, they done trick shots and were playing against the public in pool and snooker. i couldn't beleve how skinny davis is though, i knew he was thin but he's like wafer thin!!! needs a good meal that bloke. fairplay though, the guy can play though he didn't beat me

this years world championship has been awful fairplay, snooker is a boring game to watch anyway but there isn't the characters in the game anymore. john virgo and willy thorne send you to sleep in commentry and ronnie doesn't even look as if he is bothered, he doesn't even shake the other players hand properly.
