Bill Shankley

Will find out the grid reference (GIS) for that address and forward onto the Royal Navy. They can deal with it in a manner they find suitable. Surely it'd be more efficient to use the airforce to blow up some house in Switzerland?

Rich, it's simple. You're a West-Brit. I can almost hear that droning, Clongowes-educated accent? "I f***ing floored it Fintan:11 seconds..." I'm not the one who lives in the United Kingdom. I didn't go to Clongowes btw, although it is quite near my house, lovely big castle-type structure that it is and all. I went to Terenure College.

Maybe he's confused and thinks I'm in charge? But you're Cameron! I'm off to help lofty get 'moderator power', whatever that may be, I think it's a really crappy version of the Force...

Why am I not in the poll? I want to be lofty's mate too... bloody admin, all power mad... forgotten about us little people... prattle prattle prattle

Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you through, laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at you, and the stupid things that you do. Go on lofty you're the people's hero! Btw you do realise that their isn't anyone called mod don't you?

SteB I think he's chatting you up...

England

You mean there's no one to stand in the middle of the park looking bored, do nothing all game except blast a couple of free-kicks wide, try to injure the opposition and get banned for being a petty vindictive little boy? Damn, no way I'm watching the Dane's now... Well at least one of them is...

Somehow I doubt RoyRover will care too much if you're taking the ###### out of Northern Ireland...

I say bring back the coin toss instead of penalties, much funnier to see someone get knocked out on the flip of a coin, and it would certainly make teams try and win inside the 120 minutes.

They do something similar in every qualification group for World Cups and Euro Championships so goals scored against the San Marinos of this world don't determine qualifiers.

Oh Holland for sure, overrated rabble just like Spain and Italy, watch that little Latvian score a hat-trick against them. I'm wondering why I'm finding the other Irish lads comments as hilarious as Tris and co, I hope it's because England actually have a great team for once and not that I'm going to be getting a George's Cross tattoo soon

Well I predicted that they'd win it and it's looking quite possible, granted I didn't think it would be because Rooney would develop into such a great player overnight, but the team is getting there. IMO Portugal is the hardest match now, win that and the confidence will be sky-high, the next two will be a walk in the park compared to beating the hosts.

De Pedro OOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooo De Pedro OOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooo He comes from San Sebastian He's just getting some retirement cash in

I hope that is a joke. I doubt it, you see, Souness said David James was a great keeper, and Souey and Rev, well I think they'd manage to disagree if one of them said water was wet.

I thought England were outstanding last night, completely in control of the game against supposedly the best side in the world who had resorted to punting long balls into the box, and then the completely inept manager decides to make needless substitutions that totally disrupt the defensive solidity of the team. Vassell for Owen? Maybe, the little Welshie was wrecked from all the hard off the ball work that he'd been putting in making space for Rooney, who had a superb game especially in the second half. Why on earth where Hargreaves and Heskey on the pitch? Why on earth where they in the squad? The French had effectively thrown in the towel, they were arguing amongst themselves, had a complete lack of ideas, and showed the same inability to break down a packed defence as they did at the last World Cup. Heskey must be the thickest player ever to play football, Claude Makelele 30 yards out, with two banks of 4 between the goal and him, what do you do? Let him run at the defence and almost certainly lose possession, let him shoot into row ZZ? Nah, run into him like a clumsy oaf and let arguably the best player in the world have a free shot from 30 yards. Thought Beckham was outstanding myself, penalty wasn't as bad as everyone is making out, was a great save by Barthez. Lampard and Gerrard were very impressive, although the later tried too hard to drive the team forward on his own, like he's done all season at Liverpool, at the end and cost the game, should never have been put in the position where he felt he had to do things like that to influence the result though. Even Scholes played well, caused havoc drifting all over the place when England had the ball, but made sure he got back and defended, virtually negating Pires when the French got possession. Campbell and King were outstanding in central defence, Neville didn't do anything drastically wrong, Cole looked like a little boy lost but it didn't have any major consequences. James didn't do much at all, had no choice but to give away the penalty, the postioning of both himself and the wall on the free-kick was a bit dodgy, seemed like he was trying to second-guess Zidane, a situation he was always going to come out the loser in. That game should have been won, it wasn't, for exactly the same reason England didn't beat Brazil at the last World Cup, it wasn't the fault of any Englishman, it was a Swede, who is heralded as the ultimate manager, despite the fact that he has done nothing that could be considered a major achievement in his career, won the Italian league by spending Chelskiesque sums, scrapped World Cup qualification thanks to last minute Beckham brilliance and a dodgy Greek keeper, qualified for the Euro Champs by getting past a self-combusting Turkish outfit, who went on to lose to the mighty Latvia. Eriksson is a joke, the FA should have let him go to Chelsea, they should have gift-wrapped him, stuck a big bow round him and sent him to the Bridge by registered post.

London

Have you ever been to Ireland? Because you're clearly talking rubbish, there is just as much drink-related violence here as there is in England, Dublin has the most of any city I've ever been out in, it's a war-zone on weekend nights.

Do I need my eyes testing or did you just say something positive about the English football team? I did, be even more positive if Sven realised that the diamond is a bad formation even if his players knew how to play it properly; Wayne Bridge is a better all round player than Ashley Cole; Paul Scholes recent form for Man United has been so poor he doesn't deserve a place in the side, never mind his shocking form for England(or the fact that he's not a left-winger) ; and as for Gary Neville I've nothing against saying positive things about the England football team, some great players in the side, who I enjoy watching play. That being said I hope they don't win Euro2004, but I think the squad could have been the best in the tournament, and even with the Swedish maestro playing it safe, there are enough good players to win a European Championships. Better England than the cheese-eating surrender monkeys anyway.

They could win it if they didn't have a completely incompetent manager, they might do even with Sven doing his best to balls things up.

Everyone will still be down the pub, if you did it 5 minutes into the game you might have a chance

To the best of my knowledge both Tromso and Bodo Glimt play inside the Arctic Circle, Tromso being further North.

Really? Just a Celtic supporter now are we Jan? As for Stevie Crawford , it's not our fault Berti is as thick as the proverbial pig's excrement, Dickov is a much better player, I bet you'll try and convince us we should have signed Kevin Kyle in a minute...

And that Houllier applied for the Monaco managers job, they aren't looking for a new manager or anything, the arrogant sod just decided to go tell them he was interested.
