Elliott

Well that was my point With England its because he has a bunch of shitebags behind him as fans and as such there is no confidence among any player.

I sincerely hope that isn't true otherwise we are really going to miss him.

lol at all the people spending £12.50 to watch that or whatever it was. Khan was completely outclassed there though.

I think Lampard shouldn't be an egotistical prick like Carragher was and quit England for some stupid reason. It should be a privilege to play for your country and I think that's half the problem with the England team, most of the team think they deserve to be there... Lampard probably included.

Well the issue with Barton is it wasn't during a game I guess, few people actually saw it. Barton did get off lightly, but spitting, whilst bad, is only spitting, I don't get why it riles people up SO much. Bannable yes, but not for a year.

Half the red cards Mikel's received have been bullshit.

Not good. We have a lot of quality midfielders, but no back-up.

That's crazy Alex, beating the shit out of someone is far worse.

It probably would increase your chance of getting conceited money grabbing gold diggers. But someone worth dating? I doubt it.

Spitting is bad. But It's not as bad as taking cocaine It's not as bad as beating your team mate to a pulp in a training ground bust up It's not as bad as stubbing someone's eye out with a cigar And yet all these things got a lesser sentence than 12 whole months. He deserves a ban of some magnitude, but not 12 months. 6 months maximum, and I think even that is excessive. It's an extremely harsh and unfair decision.

One of the best ways to make money that was once upon a time!

lol and Cara's expertise comes flooding out in this thread!

Right here. Someone's set your posts to mod approval because of your racist outburst.

Tiago wooah wooah Tiago wooah wooah, he comes from Portugal, he locks people in the loo

How about you ask for money and send it to me.

You getting your European cities mixed up Kez?

12 months though? Come on that's a bit over the top.

Hahaha what a way to get your point across!

They might well just send you the next month's magazine when it comes out as your first.

Weekly newsletter? Is that an on-line thing from the website?

That's fucking ridiculous. And considering the fact that it was a non-FIFA affiliated competition too, they shouldn't even be able to make that ruling!

Took him how many days to come up with that excuse?

So basically you prefer that an establishment is kept established, than a new one is brought to the fore. I think that's an interesting story myself, if it's done right.

Yeah I guess it is about time. Thought I'd leave it open as the backlash would have been a talking point but that period is over now. Robinho signed for Manchester City instead, thread closed.

On that post I can agree with you to an extent. Eventually, in theory, those clubs would eventually reach the heights we did, given continual backing. Gretna were doing it until their owner fell ill and they realised they didn't have the population behind them to manage it. But Manchester certainly does. I expect Manchester City to do big things under the Arabs, but it will take longer than we achieved it for the reason's you've stated.
