An ace group for England dont u think?
Who do u think should replace Sven?

[ToneDef]

An excellent group for England. If we fuck up there, we're idiots.

I don't think Sven should be replaced. I hope he wins it for us and can then rub it in the FA's faces. Stuart Pearce would be good though.

[4th Eye]

If my drunken eyes see correctly, Finland is in the only 8-group. And Belgium, Serbia & ..., Poland and Portugal are not the easiest opponents. What the fuck?

Really, Finland has more talent than the results or ranks shows but the groups have been impossible lately. Hell, the EC '06 qualification, there was Holland, Romania and Czech Rep in the same group.

But I hope the new coach could bring us to the top.

commiserations dude. thats a bit of a bastard, i have to agree.
still, nevermind... a good group for England  :wink:  :lol:  :wink:


Tonedef... yeah, i kinda agree with you. it would be good to win the world cup anyway but also cos of the situation it will leave Sven in.

I want a english manager but u know what, if the best man for the job isnt english then so be it. i recon stuart pearce could do with more exp. maybe give him another position.


anyway more importantly..... GOD HAS RETURNED  :!:

If they ran out of european countries?...maybe Kazakstan, Azerbaijan etc are there because Soviet Union used to be there...but as far as I know, Israel has no past or present geographical connections to Europe, or then I'm poorly educated. I'd say kick Israel out and make them all groups of seven.

On a side note, I had no idea I've been in this thread earlier. :?

What happened to 'boro in the FA cup?

[minus_blindfold]

what do u mean. they have to play coventry.

The GOD is back. come on liverpool!!!

[ToneDef]

I can see Fowler absolutely PWNING now he's back at Anfield. I never supported Liverpool, but it still reminds me of the old days of the premiership when it was actually good.

[Crazylegs]

I can see Fowler absolutely PWNING now he's back at Anfield.

What! Fowler's back? How old is he now?

[ToneDef]

He's getting on a bit. But yeah, he's back at Liverpool on a free transfer.

[Gaz]

haha I took pride in watching Chelski get smashed by Boro yesterday

[DEFinMASS]

World Cup 06....the champion is going to sport a 6`th star.....Brazil.

[ToneDef]

I took great pride in knowing Fulham obliterated West Brom 6-1 the other day.

[cyril_def]

GO GO GO FRANCE

[minus_blindfold]

haha I took pride in watching Chelski get smashed by Boro yesterday

yeah, this was a gooden. i was out at printworks when that was on, i cant understand how they lost. did they play really shit or something.

[Gaz]

Boro exposed the weak link in Chelsea's defence, Carvalho can't head the ball and they used it to there advantage, I just hope more teams can find blips in Chelsea so we (Man Utd) can take advantage of it

[law]

Boro fuckin' rule

[minus_blindfold]

fuck that! liverpool need to be in utds position.
did u watch them last night. proper pissed off with morientes and cisse now. they just cannot put them away.

liverpool have shown chelsea up for their weaknesses in the past, shame it wasnt so on their last meeting.
