who gives a cripe about owen...manunited surely dont need the guy..who will he replace....van the man i dont think so....rooney, ermm heck no, then we have saha and smith so therefore owen will spend time on the bench...no point coming to united.....and i dont see liverpool getting him either, no way...cisse, barros, alonso, erm morentes(spelling) nah he aint getting into that team.

That's just crap. Owen is comfortably ahead Saha, Smith and Solskjaer.

Considering Alonso is a midfielder and Barros wants out, that leaves Liverpool pretty thin up front (and Crouch could snap a matchstick at any time...). Is Owen cup tied for this season yet?

 

[Craig]

No, some of us regard them as meaningless regardless of scoreline.

So playing for country is unimportant then - even in a friendly? I don't get the British attitude.

No he isn't.

generally the public tend to see it as a great honour to play for your country, however, most of the players are just money grabbers and couldnt give less of a **** imo, shows how a lot of players are just in it for the money imo.....cough cough rio ferdinand.

What's the point of a friendly 1 game into the season? Answer me that.

 

[Craig]

Well let's see it is the FIFA's decision to pencil in that date for team's to play an international friendly so SGE asked Denmark if they want to play each other in a friendly because he was of the opinion it was a worthwhile thing.

It is funny that when Astralia beat England 3-1 at Upton Park two years ago it is dismissed as a meaningless match that doesn't count, but had England won it probably would have been that this is proof that the Aussies wouldn't know how to play football and were obviously rubbish.

Then go and pick players who care then - that is one option.

As for Rio Ferdinand how much of his agent is to fault then it is to Rio? I mean Rio get's made out to look like a money hungray, greedy prima donna who wouldn't know what loyalty meant even if you pointed it out in in the dictonary in the press all because of a statement by his agent?

You (well, Oz I mean. I dunno if you take Oz or NZ in footy!) def wanted it more that night. No England team wants to lose, especially to an Aussie team, but friendlies just seem increasingly pointless to me. SGE treats them as a bench-clearing exercise, with an eye on seeing who might be able to do a job in the real thing.

Don't think we learnt anything from Weds, except James is dodgy (not headline news) & Rooney is England's best player by some distance. I still think we'll whip N Ireland & the Taffs with a bit to spare.

My word. If Rose's saying something against ManYoo, it must be true.

 

[PY]

7 men sent off in League Two, bit over the top.

Grimsby got 2 triggered in the last 7 minutes and conceded a penalty with nine minutes to go. D'oh.

Like the way Alan Thompson has been sent off 3 times in his career......just at Ibrox.

 

[luckyeddie]

How the mighty are fallen.

Snottingham Florists 0, Scoonthorpe 1.

I laughed until I stopped. Actually that's not true - I haven't stopped by a long way.

 

[PY]

Nice evasion of the naughty word filter.

Funny how it picks up the C U Next Tuesday in S****horpe, but not the ar$e in Arsenal...

One law for the rich.....

 

[PY]

More to do with the fact that no-one is there right mind would want to talk about Scun.thorpe without insulting them and therefore the '****' is seems fit as is the fact that if a person from the said area was to have their speech filtered it would look something similar to "**** **** ******* *******".

Brian Clough Way .... update

Well, it's taken a long, long time to come to fruition.

As many of you are aware, Cloughie died 11 months ago, and immediately Ramstrust and other organisations launched a campaign to have the A52 (the road linking Derby and Nottingham) renamed in the great man's honour.

A couple of months ago, a one-eyed pen-pushing prat of a civil servant at the Department of Transport, totally ignoring the fact that all four councils involved were 100% in favour of the renaming scheme, issued a statement that the proposed renaming could not take place on the grounds that it might '... confuse motorists'.

There were immediate protests, government departments were flooded with petitions, letters, emails and telephone calls - the local councils themselves took up the protests and the DoT realised very quickly that, this time, they had not backed a winner.

I now hear that the councils have ordered the road signs and they should be in place for September 20th, the first anniversary of Cloughie's demise, and that the A52 between Derby and Nottingham will officially be known as Brian Clough Way .

 

[PY]

What a story, a true memorial to a true character.

Not only that but I like the way it links the two main cities that meant so much to Mr Clough (obviously the main idea).

 

[Jamee999]

Good to hear.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Indeed. It's also good to hear that Exeter City are now top of the Conference by three points.

We still haven't conceded a goal all season, and have barely played well yet!
