Ah well, it's not bad to totally outplay Bolton and lose 1-0. Happens to everyone else

Stan Collymore reckons he is coming back to the Premiership?

Which Premiership club would be mad enough to even contemplate signing him?

Someone with not many fit strikers? Newcastle?

Sadly, that's what we all said at work yesterday. And we weren't saying it in an excited manner, wither.

Christ this Wales v Slovakia game is fantastic.

Currently Wales 1-4 Slokavia and it could be 6-10

Welsh keeper was asking for trouble coming out with that haircut mind.

So!

England have settled firmly into the image of their manager.

Boring.

Christ.

Aye very predictable as he must take some responsibility for the shambles under Sven.

And he still hasn't had the bottle to drop Lampard and put Gerrard in the middle (where he's playing anyway). As I've said before, if Lampard isn't scoring he's actually a liability. Count how many times he gives the ball away.

This is true. We've got Downing on the left, who has put in a total of one half decent cross (the rest being shit), three central midfielders, and nobody on the right, other than when G. Neville gets forward, and his crosses have all been shit as well.

Terrrrrific.

Fantastic result for Scotland. Great job.

We were... odd. Defence solid as always, but completely wrong going forward.

Yes, on all counts. Although even the defence had its moments. As for us, one bright spot in a 90-minute game is just scary.

Well played, Jocks. Bet Stu's well on his way to "paralytic" by now.

We'll be coming,
we'll be coming,

we'll be COMING, down the road.

When you hear the noise
of the tartan army boys

we'll be coming down the road.

Where you from then?

England were crap and Gerrard is out for the next game. Just got to hope his absence means we have a bit more natural width on the right. Got a feeling we'll be playing 3-5-2 anyway though.

Dio · Post by **Dio** » Sat Oct 07, 2006 8:58 pm 0

I'm a bit less sure now. I think part of the logic behind the 3-5-2 was to try to fit Gerrard, Lampard, a holding midfielder and width all in at the same time...
