Saw Ghana vs Lesotho in an AFCN qualifier. Awful game, stunning atmosphere, almost passed out from the heat and I had to bribe a policeman to let me in so for those reasons the Sekondi Sports Stadium http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRXS4lDZ3R_nVPB-NJtGTdlbzfTzkB8lbn2Cbp0F_8puF89v-QvQ

roadrunner Swap the blue for white and I'd be tempted to buy one. I wish we could get away from being so blue when it used to be (certainly more so) a much whiter kit.

Surprised this hasn't been started already.

Given his form and the fact the AFed isn't 100% just yet, I see no reason to change McCarthy and one assumes Mills comes back in.

Very much in that 'apparently' camp but Romario claims to have 1,000 career goals as well, I assume that's in over 1,000 games FIFA officially credits Romario with 929 goals. All of his 1,000 goals are documented, but they include those scored in youth team games. I'm not disputing that but it is F...

Quality stuff - did I see right that the refs in Brazil use a spray of some sort to mark the position of the free kick and wall?

I'm liking the combo of Wilshere & Parker in the middle. Wilshere isn't a holding midfielder so playing him alongside Lampard would be no different to the Gerrard/Lampard problem but having Parker there would free him up to (hopefully) work his magic. I really dont "get" Gareth Barry ...

Hart Johnson Terry (c) Dawson Cole Lennon Wilshere Barry Milner Rooney Carroll I can see Wales doing us with this ala NIreland but Bale being out is a big plus, especially if its HRK that plays on left :lol: Early goal for England and a dull 3-0 win or tetchy and frustrating game and a 1-1 draw. Bri...

cmonurz What happened to air conditioned stadiums?

Think they realised that it wouldn't work in open air stadia or if there was a little bit of wind

Matthew Upson

They say in the article that Tarrabt is excused defending and they don't give him the ball in their own half for fear of him doing something stupid and giving the ball away. Whilst undoubtably skillful he can be a liability and I really don't think Reading fans would embrace him (not that they'll ev...

No mention of Michael Gilkes? Poor effort

Best left foot I remember was Nicky Hammond's, used to ping in crosses as 'keeper coach better than any of the outfield players

Think we've got a 24 hour recall option on him if there is another defensive crisis but otherwise a good move. Playing regular football in a promotion chasing side has to be good for his development and set him up well for next season

Svlad Cjelli But it's not a real choice, it's a choice from just 4.

And it's highly unlikely that anyone kit will win a clear majority of over 50%, so what you end up with is a "first choice" that more people voted against than voted for.

Could always try PR...

No Fixed Abode

TBM So the rumour about Nicky Forster and Darren Caskey was true

Yep Bit of a weird one ennit!

Just like Trevor Morely bumming Paul Holsgrove.

Wasn't it Morley and Ian Bishop?

Not long to go now and its tight.......what are your predictions!? Premier League Winners : MAN UTD Relegated :WIGAN, BIRMINGHAM, BLACKPOOL Championship Winners : QPR Relegated : SHEFF UTD, PRESTON, SCUNTHORPE League One Winners : BRIGHTON Relegated : PLYMOUTH, YEOVIL, WALSALL, SWINDON League Two W...

Is this thread just a poor attempt at Spacey fishing coz I can't see any purpose for it otherwise

I'm probably missing something/one obvious but isn't it just Manset and Kebe that are French?

TB, captaincy isn't just what happens on the pitch. I suggest the majority of their influence is through what they do off the pitch and behind closed doors. The captaincy is also a badge of honour (it perhaps wouldn't be if we just gave it out randomly) and should be treated as such. Fair comment. ...
