Or maybe he never was the narcissist hacks would like you to believe he is?

Best for everyone concerned. Kakuta gets his minutes and the development his career desperately needs, we get to sweeten the Azpi deal and cash strapped OM get a promising youngster that can still mature into a good player in the future for next to nothing. It's a shame the guy hasn't turned out to be worth all the trouble it cost us.

Umm who are ya? Welcome !

Third game of the ban is suspended for a period of 3 years, meaning any straight red in a UEFA competition during the next 3 years gets him a 4 game ban.

Nuh-uh. Too simplistic, that's all I'm gonna say.

Geoff Shreeves is disappointed.

Really? Ah well .. shows you what I know

Sturridge will be fine I think. Didn't look in any discomfort in the pitch, unless the toe 'injury' is something he picked up afterwards. Just a ploy to skip the Italy friendly would be my bet.

Terry didn't get the half the abuse for getting sent off in a CL semifinal that Ivanovic has attracted for a dismissal in a pre season game.

I'd rather Bertrand at RB than Ferreira or Hutchinson.

I wonder if he'll get the nod at RB for Wigan if we've not signed Cesar by then.

I'm only left handed for a few touchy feely minutes a day. ......... Anyone here play New Star Soccer 5?

What, Kalou and Bosingwa are no longer Chelsea players? Malouda never even gets a game? Sturridge and Torres played a part in the goals? Hmm ... who shall we point the finger at? Step up, John Mikel Obi. We have our man.

Ah well hopefully we've gotten our quota of lapses out of the way before the meaningful games begin.

Terry shit again in a big game.

4-3-3? Or 4-4-1-1 as in pre season?

We were one of the interested teams when Wigan took him from Palace a couple (more?) seasons ago.

Not on pix or six. Oly on Star network. Streams it is, I guess.

Is this live on the telly in India?

I love O'Reilly's sig.

Yeah because it worked out brilliantly for him at beautiful football-playing Swansea. Makes more sense for him to go to a place that needs his talents, not one where he'd be one of several doing the same thing.

Got tackled and it rolled off the defender. Was he lively? Yeah. Did he look 'interested'? Sure. Is that something that goes beyond what is expected from a professional footballer on the kind of wages he has? Fuck no. Desire is a prerequisite, not an accessory. I'm no Torres hater. I want him to do well for us. I'm just trying to keep his contributions in perspective.

If you say so.

But .. but .. but .. he won the greatest corner of all time! It took so much skill to do that!

Can't decide if you keep repeating yourself because you're bored or actually that hysterical about Brazil's mental strength. Also, you mention Honduras as if they're a pub team. Let's not forget they beat Spain.
