Quite a common uccurrance in Parks Football.
Numerous players are "Banned for life" and then play under another name.

Why the f**k is our official World Cup song by that twat Barlow?
How will any football supporters - except giiirrrlls maybe - accept this from someone from a "band" cynically put together purely for pubescent girls to cream their knickers to?
Time for my bi-annual bet on England winning a major tournament.
I can get around 33/1 on the WC atm. If they win, I get £300+
which makes all the flags on cars and associated hype bearable !
If they lose, hey ho, it's £10.

Nothing to add to this.
Hodgson would play the whole Liverpool team if he could. Henderson's obviously booked his seat already but I thought he was rubbish, showed no effort to get in the box at all. Sterling was good as was Lallana again.
The game was dull and uncreative, it had the mark of Hodgson all over it. Italy and Uruguay can't wait for the world cup to start.

On that performance I reckon Accrington Stanley thirds might stand a chance. Mind you, at least your teams going 
The trouble with friendly's is the supporters expect gung-ho attacking good football. (which you will never get with friendly's)
The manager has a different agenda he wants to see good passing and movement and cohesion.
He's not too bothered about the result and the paying crowd get slightly gypped. It's in all but name a practice match.
It tells us nothing but I hope it told Hodgeson something.

If he was looking for that then you'll probably find him hanging from the nearest crossbar this evening.

F**k me, we did win last night didn't we? Jesus, you lot are the most miserable bunch of so-and-sos going. And by so-and-sos, I mean Twuntcakes.
If I had any real criticism, it's that like all England managers, Hodgson is continually chopping and changing his line ups during the friendly games. I know that he wants to 'blood' new players, but you can't have a consistent passing game if you don't know where your regular teammates are going to be.
Bring on the new or untested players for the last 10 minutes. And now to go against everything I just said because I'm a complex individual, which club wants their star players injured or knackered out in an England friendly that doesn't mean anything?
RCP - arguing with myself since 2009.
Eto'o and his goal celebration. 
Spurs have imploded like that many times this season, very flaky. Mourhino obviously played on this knowledge. Very hard to see another prem winner now, there are better teams but none have the mental strength of Chelsea.

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 4th February 2014, 9:00 PM GMTBoth teams have good chances in CL, but maybe City's squad depth has already won them the premiership. Chelsea have had their two goes, and few others can cope with City as well as that.
So both City and Chelsea will win the Premiership this year? They better get on to the trophy makers and double the order.

Well there's all the pressure now on the Arse to win the FA Cup. If they don't win it now then they are reeeeaaaall losers!
Why doesn't he just shut T F up?

Because he is a footballing genius who can hold down a managerial job for more then 10 minutes.
The Champions League has been riddled with dodgy refereeing over the years, some would say that it's a conspiracy for certain teams to always win it and that Sepp Blatter / FIFA are integral to this corruption.
There are other critics who say that using referees from minor foreign leagues is a bad idea because they don't know the tricks some teams utilise to get opposing players sent off.
I am in no way a Chelsea fan, but I remember some of the questionable decisions that went against them in recent CL campaigns - especially when they were playing Barcelona.
And up until Szczesny was sent off, the first leg was a cracking open game of footie. Obviously I'm biased but when you're playing Brian Moonick, you need every advantage you can get.
