No worries, no-one will have a flipping clue what you're on about though!

Not many people do anyway

If it is true then that is banonkers*.

* Bananas and bonkers.

Like it, mind me using it in future conversations?

Reports in this mornings Daily Telegraph say that Chelsea will offer Liverpool £20m plus Parker and Duff for Gerrard.

The Telegraph say that Duff would relish a return to the North-West.

Flippin' giblets, if I were Liverpool I would snap Chelsea's hand off.

Damn right

Thats a terrible deal for Chelsea.

Can't believe i missed it all.

SteB getting called a 19 year old, saying ste and paul taking part in gay activities, me and t4e taking part in gay activities and Shillito calling for me to be prime minister.

And not one mention of Stanley and nike kits.

I love you Lofty, please don't go. We'll have to meet up for a drink next season before i have to go away....

The fact is they had the best team and the best players in the group

No they didn't.

If they did, they wouldn't be out.

Portugal

Can’t see why Italy are winging about the whole thing. At the end of the day they weren’t good enough and they don’t deserve to go through.

Bang on, close the thread and lets concentrate on the rest of the tournament.

anyone know when BRFC will let us know what seats we have got?

Judging by the kits and the season ticket packs i'd guess you'll find out around December

I think scissor-paper-stone would have been fairer

Or a game of hide and seek

I don't believe this 2-2 nonsense:

Taken from the Euro 2004 website:

Tie breakers

If teams finish level on points, then the winner of the match between the sides in question will finish highest, or should they have drawn, goal difference, followed by goals scored, qualifying record for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2004™, a fair play ranking and finally either a penalty shoot-out or drawing of lots.

Thats fantastic! You mean if it had been a dead heat all the way down the different methods, Italy and Denmark would have had to have a penalty shoot-out this morning to decide who would go through!?

That would be brilliant television!

Would they have to get kitted up and sing the anthem and everything?

Portugal to win with a golden goal

The golden goal thing is still going right?

Should have been better in the first 2 games.

Bye bye Italy, not going to miss you, your diving tactics and your massive egos.

Ciao for now.

Oh BTW, you might want to get some training for your lap around Ewood Click here Tom

Bloody hell! 2 on the trot! That is worrying for the state of the NRL

I think that a team in Red 'n Green might stop your prediction from coming true.

The bunnies give up on rugby and having a go at football instead?

Bring on Thursday...btw does anyone know what time I should get in Blues bar to assure myself of a good pitch?

2pm sounds like a good time to me!

I've just seen this on another forum, not sure if it's been mentioned here or on the other Euro 2004 threads...

Lets not forget..

ENGLAND'S FIRST TIME BEYOND THE GROUP ON FORIEN SOIL IN THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Shocking stuff!

Get in there lads!

Rooney Rooney Rooney

Is that a back three? Three strikers? Or just three in midfield?

You need to field at least 11 to stand a chance.

now all those numpers who said England would not make the q'final, well you took one hell of a kicking - you were ALL SO WRONG

Mmmmm, humble pie,

Can I have some more gravy please.

I've had red sauce with mine, it's lovely.

Apologies to the Croat FA for my comments as it's clear it's not a football related incident anymore.

It's not a case of hindsight it's about not coming out with daft statements like 'we're crap' and the like. It seems to be popular at times to knock the national side and i'm not sure why.

We clearly aren't crap and have a fair chance of doing well. There are other teams that could say the same but I reckon that it's pretty open anda all the better for it.

But before the tournament, thats what i believed. Is it wrong for me to air my views of a side playing without it's first choice defence? A side thats got Beckham off form? A side that still hasn't got a stable left hand side?

Yeah i got it wrong, i admit that openly and will take all the stick needed.

I felt before the tournament we didn't stand a chance. I apologise if it seemed 'popular'.

It also seems 'popular' to have this amazing optimism and believe we're going to go all the way and beat the likes of Portugal, Italy, Czech, Holland and Sweden.

Can't imagine what would happen to us if one of our fans did the stabbing

Out the tournament, no european football for years, massive fines....

UEFA will give the Croatian FA a 10k fine and tell them to stop being naughty.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?

Czech Republic will still win it.

Brilliant Gordon, pure genius that

Is Sociedad a place in Spain?

Maybe he's a bummer?

He might collect spoons.

We know what them lot are like after the last one we had
