Is anyone arsed?

nope, off to play football.

Will be flicking through sky sports vaguely looking at the scores. Internationals don't really do it for me.

I forgot England we even playing until yesterday. I just thought "oh yeah". I find the qualifiers boring.....they are normally just routine wins where we don't have to really play well at all to get the 3 points.

Nope rather spend my time on here

Im going to watch a programme about Jack the Ripper, on 5. Like Iffy I find the qualifiers boring.

:nod:

Unfortunately it clashes with Masterchef, so i'll only catch the second half...

i am going to watch that at least it has got to the knockout stages

Lacking a boozy kick.

dans is the best....but what about the presentation!!!!

Isn't it Ramsay's best restaurant on after masterchef on c4?

I think so

Italy v Serbia game suspended after 15mins due to crowd trouble

Its the Anglo Italian cup all over again.

Years ago i went to watch Cologne v Red Star belgrade i did not know how much the Serbs hated the germans fucking scary

Should have an international break...........maybe for about 4 years.

The Serbs hate everyone bassett................they are taught to hate at school.

A lot of people hate Bassett, not just the Serbs  ;D

Eek... from some random blog I found:


"It is reported the fans threw rocks and fireworks at the team bus, hitting goalkeeper Stojkovic. He was injured and therefore not even on the bench for the game.

Inside the stadium the problems deteriorated, as hooligans in ski masks climbed on top of the plexiglass walls and clinically cut the protective net with pliers.

They also threw flares and objects across to the Italian area of the stadium and on to the pitch.

It took a good 20 minutes before the referee, who had come out to begin the match, walked back into the tunnel with the teams.

Riot police were called, but the Serbian fans had no intention of pulling back and set fire to flags."

That'll be a £5k fine for them then.  Imagine what would happen if England fans still did that.

Thanks for that you cunt

 
Lets face it, as a Nation, weve got previous.

Wonder what they do with this Italy Serbia fixture now?

Taking in to account our previous behaviour.  Its a long time previous.  Im afraid we still get treated more harshly than other countries. 

Oh no! Raw chicken everywhere.

I think that is the first time i have used cunt on the TEF

who was knocked out

Obviously i've never worked in a kitchen, but that seems schoolboy... as does making someone order a whole bottle of wine, or none at all!

im going to call the police, hahaha

Not again!

just saw the england result as i dont watch or listen to that shite anymore.
i laughed as it's typical of how utterly shit the national side is.
they gonna blame that on the lack of talent available?

No, it's Capello's fault. Obviously.

I blame rooney

I blame ITV

Gareth Barry is not good enough. Jack wilshere is the best english center mid in the premiership at the moment, why was he not playing?

poor players are tired out.
those montenegro players are technically better.
we dont produce players good enough.
pitch aint good enough.
ball flies in a wrong trajectory.
they had the wrong studs in.

I usually laugh at the Jocks losing, but they seem to have given it a good go tonight.

Nice to see England recapture their world cup form

Someone I know said we should have Wilshere in and get Scholes to come back as well.  That's 11 foot of midfield dominance there!  Get sneezy and grumpy in as well. 

cattermole to run around and tackle some shit. gerrard and wilshere to actually do something with the ball. milner and downing to get decent balls in the box and rooney to play up top on his own, as he does when playing at his best for man utd

I don't watch club football other than Town. I might as well pack in my Sky Sports subscription as I can't be arsed with the Premiership crap. But I still do watch England - and care about the results. We were shite tonight. Rooney and Crouch were complete dross. The midfield were so predictable. An absolute crap game. 

The old style core of Ferdinand, Gerrard, Barry let us down yet again (and if Lampard and Terry had been fit, i'm sure they'd have 'contributed' too...). And SWP got yet another cap somehow. Ridiculous.

Barry was particularly poor tonight I thought. I see what you're saying about SWP, but the only other option was Downing, and we had a few chances from using our pace on the wings, so SWP made sense (this once).

He never makes sense, and should be nowhere near the squad... this is my issue...

 :rain:   :suicide:

(My summing up of tonights feast)

I cant believe we dont win every game 10-0

swp is barely good enough for the premiership. downing is one of villa's best players

England were appalling. It's like they don't want to play for Capello.
Capello is to blame. End of. Anyone who puts Heskey on in the World cup when we need to score doesn't desreve the job. PLUS why pull Wilshere out of the U 21's who needed a result & then not even put him on the bench !
Giving the capatincy back to Ferdinand was a mistake. Whilst Gerrard had it at least he tried. Rooney is a waste of space at  the moment & should be dropped until he sorts his sex life out.

The thing that really annoys me is that the game is run by a bunch of wankers in the FA who haven't a clue about much at all. They manage to build a new Wermbley at twice the cost of any other stadium & a crap pitch, they pay twice the going rate for the manager, & make it financially impossible to get rid.

The thing that really annoys me is that a team like Scotland at least make a fight of things. Our lot treat an england call up like a bloody holiday. What ever happened to the passion.

We need an England TEAM not a bunch of prima donnas so drop the likes of Rooney and get in players with some passion even if it means the manager has to watch & select players in league one.

They do have their reasons, to be fair.

Pliers - the rattle for the modern generation

I definitely want to be like him when I grow up

Part of the problem is flares seemingly being accepted as part of the game in a lot of European countries. If you got caught taking a flare in to a game in England, let alone letting one off during a game, you'd be in deep shit and most likely facing a lengthy ban. Seems to be a totally different attitude elsewhere.

Though you also have the problem of UEFA not having to bollocks to punish clubs and countries when their fans start misbehaving, unless its England or an English club of course in which case the whole country gets banned for 5 years. It's a pity the rest of Europe are still stuck in the past, viewing us as being the country with the problem when in reality it's the opposite that is true - we're about the only country on top of it now.

Didnt watch the England game last night but hopefully people will stop all that 'were great and are gonna win the next world cup' bollocks now.

Is there really anybody saying that?  Surely the penny has dropped for most England fans, that we've some useful if over hyped players, who regularly fail at tournaments or don't get there at all.

After the start we made to the qualifying campagin, there were planety of people saying how great England now were and how they were gonna win the Euros.

There's a bit of video here too:

At the end they are just cowering in a corner getting the shit kicked out of them with truncheons and shields.

Why so much aggro between Serbia and Italy? I'm ignorant on the reasons

didn't vidic have to go over to the serbian fans with a megaphone in one of their pre-world cup friendlys to get them to simmer down?

think they're just a bit mental

They really should have known not to fuck with the Italian police. The serbs took quite a battering against those railings

The thing I read said the Serbs originally started on their own players and battered the team coach with rocks, etc as they were so pissed off with losing 3-1 to Estonia last Friday..think it just spiralled from there?!

for the record tarmo kink scored a fucking cracker in that game, and one of the best OG's was scored for estonia

they're still shite mind you...

Dont we all?
