On the subject of Mickey, de Pedro and Gray down the left next season doesn't sound bad at all. A hard working attacking minded left back And a left winger Bliss

alas no, the deal wasn't completed until late last night, and none of us speak Spanish! I do, sort out my transport, my stay, a brand new Rovers Lonsdale shirt signed by De Pedro and i'll sort the interview.

This could be interesting...

De Pedro Fergie Flitty/Toogs Thompson SURELY thats going to be our midfield next season.

His free-kicks appear to curl straight into the face of his own striker judging by that photo. That's going to annoy Cole. Good news though. At last we have a left winger on the books again. Wonder where we'll play him It's so damn clear sox, at right back

Just for you Tom... Did i ever tell you how much i love you lee?

I'm not saying i don't trust MC, but i'll wait for Rovers to annouce it...

How would Ashley Cole being on the post block David James view? you know as well as i do tom, that you only listen to your keeper when he's setting up his wall. fact. if he had left the wall, zidane would probably have curled it the other way, then you would still be making james a scapegoat. david james was excellent against france - he comanded his area very well and came out for lots of crosses - which he caught - every last one of them. inspirational skipper? he's been anything but for about 4 months now. he looked more bothered that he couldnt play in the centre. He's probably not happy at having all the limelight taken away from him by gerrard and lampard. hence he tried to knock 60 yard balls all the time instead of his usually very high work ethic. Woah woah woah, lets get one thing straight. I'm not looking for a scapegoat here at all. I'm talking about stopping one of the best free-kick takers in the world from scoring by doing something so simple as to put someone on the post.

How would Ashley Cole being on the post block David James view?

Didn't Alan Hansen say last night during the Holland - Germany game, 'you have to wonder how far england can go in any tournament with that goalkeeper' Ashley, don't listen to your inspirational captain who actually plays with the free-kick taker week in week out. No, instead listen to the man thats played first division football for a good few months and never been classed as a top keeper.

Being the lazy bugger i am and not reading all this thread... Has anyone got a list of who we play and when we play? All friendlies though, not just the Germany tour.

Listen to your captain? Or a cross flapping keeper?

Flopsy, your spelling is effing terrible

The thing that suprises me, is when they annouce '30 arrests' and then '15 of them English' - Who's the other 15 then!?

As i asked earlier in the thread... Was it against Germany in Euro 2000? nope on the beeb, ITV showed the portugal and Romania game Columbia in France 98?

As i asked earlier in the thread... Was it against Germany in Euro 2000?

Who?

Beautiful

Was the Germany game on ITV in Euro 02? edit: Euro 00 i mean...

Just got this e-mail, made me chuckle

Oh yeah, forgot to ask. Does Michael Owen still play for England? We looked like we only had Rooney up front last night...

Ouch, head hurts Taking Rooney off was a massive mistake. Ah well, it's football. Never expected us to get out of this group, but we still could do it. Go England...i think.... Ouch, head hurts...damn you Ocean Bar for making it 4 bottles for £4

er...is that directed at me? Who else could it be directed at. I didn't really understand why my opinions resulted in me being called "your vulgurness". I guess it's a Midlands thing. As for being a gloom monster - well, maybe at the moment I am. However, there are some people on this board who are just living in denial and seem to have forgotten just how bad we were last season already. And why people treat a negative opinion about Souness or the club as some sort of personal attack I'll never know. Twas a joke our scotty. Monsters usually are vulgar, take Gilbert for instance. Anyway, i don't take your negativity as a personal attack at all.

er...is that directed at me? yeah
