Qualifying has finished and the 'tournament' proper starts now.

How long can the English dominance last?

Despite all the extra tv and sponsorship money, Pound Sterling aint worth a squirt of piss internationally at the moment, meaning that buying a European player is just as expensive as buying an English one these days. The economy could be a key factor in dragging English teams back to the competition.

Anyway, let's hope it's a good competition!

Pfft... Stockport are losing to Northampton at home.

and City are losing to Birmingham.

I generally don't show that much interest in top flight football but I am making a special effort now that England are good again  8)

...and why not! Chelski are winning.

Gas losing at Cheltenham.

Great ball

Liverpool losing.
Why are there no sponsers on there shirts?
And West Broms on Saturday for that matter.

I'm guessing that you canny advertise alcohol in France.

Brilliant goal

He's big and he's fuckin ard...

He will play next england game at right back

Don't be stupid... he'll be in goal.

Haha seriously read it somewhere

hell of a strike from gerrard, thought kuyt and cocked that attack up.

Barry Hayles 'haunting' his old club tonight... 2 nil Cheltenham.

They will be 1pt behind us.

We have 1 game on them and they beat us... oh-no.

anyone know why liverpool have no sponsor?

edit: just read the rest of this thread.

Nottingham Forest losing... They never liked Calderwood before (sounds... familiar) they're certainly not liking him at the moment.

If he left there, that would just have people calling for him to come here.

Once again Liverpool are lucky!!

What a dull 2nd half... could've/should've been plenty more goals in this.

Perfick scenario of events for the English clubs [edit] thus far as Roma are losing at home to Cluj-Napoca.

cannot believe roma lost at home.

...to a reasonably obscure Romanian team.

Cant believe Liverpool won that-they were ripped second half

Best result of the night has to be Roma's defeat to transalvanian team CFR 1907 Cluj.

Come on Rich, we all know that any decent manager would have got them into Europe again by now! They are a massive club remember!

Their fans are a bunch of cocks. They think they should be in the top 4of the Prem. Deluded idiots.

that's a massive generalisation, I know some and they are very down to earth, the only ones you hear about normally are their equivalent of adver comments posters.

Arsenal could have had about 8 tonight -good that they came back after Saturdays defeat (well if you're a gooner)

I have to say Walcott looks good - tearing them apart!

chuckle player for Porto called Hulk.

Haha I laughed at that.  Clean game mind - no cards!

Liar

I tempted fate - a penalty and a yellow card :D

Carlos Vela looks a good player

How have Arsenal only scored 4?!!!!!!!!!!!

Cunting stupid fucking cunting Juventus! Can't even beat a bunch of amateurs! Lost me my bet tonight! Cunts!

I enjoyed that arsenal game, very entertaining, if a little one-sided. Theo looked great, looking forward to him ripping Khazakstan apart.

anyone else bored of all these money grabbing cunts? I just cant get interested in premier league or champions league football anymore.

I'd like the top clubs in Europe (including England) to fuck off to a Super League that is a closed shop, no promotion or relegation.  That way it could be separate from anything we are part of and I could easily ignore it and the teams in it (especially if it's pay per view, or a separate subscription).

So, er yes STA, is the answer you were looking for.
