[Munchies]

Fuck off Wilshere

[Rors]

Wilshere :lol: 'Having one' so far..

I wish Wheelchair would stop crying about every challenge on him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

San Marino 1-3 Poland, Sobota.

[Munchies]

Cazorla subbed at HT

Rosicky off injured

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zozulya with a pub team touch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard can't control it.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I don't think England know what their strategy is.

Or to put it another way, they don't know what they're doing.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I don't think England know what their strategy is.

Seems to try and get a goal from a set piece.

They're definitely not going to score one from open play at this rate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard freekick, deflects over.

Wales 0-2 Serbia, Kolarov.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ukraine 0-0 England, HT. :lol:

Built a fine platform apparently.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

When Lampard is asked to do more than "make a late run into the box and boot it"... he isn't really very good.

[Rors]

England can definitely count themselves lucky there... Shapeless

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Well that was riveting.


Hopefully the France game will be more entertaining.

[Cripps_orig]

Wilshere isn't very good is he?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

lol France are losing to Belarus.

[Marc Overmars]

Shite game.

[Marc Overmars]

lol France are losing to Belarus.

England vs France in the playoffs. :pray:

[Munchies]

clear penalty

[Munchies]

Wilshere isn't very good is he?

Sell him in the summer.

Gundogan in

[Rors]

"Oh yeah he was looking for it. Completely looking for it. Totally looking for it."

[Rors]

England vs France in the playoffs. :pray:

That would be pure :wacko: - material.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Hleb running rings around France's defence :lol:

He'll get back home to banging the SSN reporter

Jim White?

[Rors]

Walcott tapping out....

[Munchies]

Have a tab on the France game now

Valbuena is a midget, good player, but short next to Giroud :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Belarus 1 - 1 France

Ribery Pelanty

[Munchies]

Wilshere is a liability

Worse game I've seen from him

[The Emirates Gallactico]

There's no understanding between any of the players. You got to wonder what Hodgson does in training.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair hauled off, Youngy on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fair to say he was hauled off...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slovakia 1-2 Bosnia, FT. Big result for them. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Hope Bosnia make it.

Deflected behind for a corner from the Ukrainian Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell Theo. :lol:

[Rors]

Dear crivens Theo....

[Munchies]

Walcott :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Theo :haha::haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus Walcott, FFS! He's got to be doing 100% better than that!

[Munchies]

Free header

Ukraine are shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor header, Ukraine should have scored.

[Niall_Quinn]

First goal was shit... :getcoat:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwdHdzrmLVs

There's possibly a tentative argument to be made we maybe shouldn't have sold him.

[Munchies]

Womaniser Ozil scores

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Macedonia 1-2 Scotland, Maloney!

Me. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

So 15 minutes to go in a must win match and they aren't winning. That's a bit shit really.

No, they really can not Townsend.

[Niall_Quinn]

BFG & Ozil

[The Emirates Gallactico]

With all the attacking talent at their disposal how are Germany only two up against the Faroe Islands? That's the biggest scandal tonight tbf.

Stevie Me diving again

Belarus 2-2 France, Ribery with his second.

Lampard and Gerrard. :lol:

That earlier challenge on Theo was a red surely?

[Niall_Quinn]

Belarus 2-3 France, Nasri.

Ugly lesbo twat face.

Thanks Woy, make sure Theo's properly broken before replacing him :rolleyes:

[Munchies]

Belarus 2-3 France, Nasri.

Lampard misses a sitter

[Rors]

Thank fuck for that :lol:

Actually a fair way wide too.

[Munchies]

Fat Frank ffs

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Kos with an assist in the France game.

[GP]

Ugly lesbo twat face.

Leave Maccy alone.

[Niall_Quinn]

Who are we going to laugh at if these turds don't qualify?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ukraine 0-0 England, FT. Utter crap.

[Cripps_orig]

0-0 FT

Woeful

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That's the worst game I've seen since the last time I said it.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Will definitely be buying the DVD for that game.

[Munchies]

England shit as usual

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has someone finally offed Chiles? :pray:

[Rors]

Torpid

[Marc Overmars]

So still the only wins we've picked up in the group are against the pub teams.

Utterly pathetic.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Can't believe I wasted my bandwidth on that turgid shite.

[Munchies]

We need to sell Jack before everyone realises he's dog shit.

[Cripps_orig]

You'd expect them to win the home games and qualify.

They have Hodgson.

Ukraine are through

[Cripps_orig]

We need to sell Jack before everyone realises he's dog shit.

This

[Rors]

Something tells me that particular incarnation of 4-5-1 will be joining us in Brazil too. (Eng will muddle their way to qualification). Joy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montenegro need to save football in October.

[Niall_Quinn]

This

Seriously though - Walcott. WTF? Only reason he's an International player is because he's English.

[Cripps_orig]

Seriously though - Walcott. WTF? Only reason he's an International player is because he's English.

Don't know what Walcott has to do with it.

Didn't play his best but nowhere near as bad as Jack

[Marc Overmars]

We'll pub wins against Monty and Poland for sure.

We'll get absolutely nowhere in Brazil though, again.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Talking about people playing badly, did anyone actually play well?

Maybe Cahill at a stretch, Gerrard if I wanted to be horrifically biased.... but apart from that? They were all shit.

Of course some of us had this Neanderthal as a club manager as well...

[Rors]

Have to beat Poland. At home. This sounds familiar...

Hunter :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't miss quality like Rooney and Welbeck apparently, according to Keane. I thought the were both shite but obviously not.

[Cripps_orig]

We'll pub wins against Monty and Poland for sure.

We'll get absolutely nowhere in Brazil though, again.
We'll get through the groups.

Go out on penalties being outplayed against the first decent team we face

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll get through the groups.

Go out on penalties being outplayed against the first decent team we face

There will have to be some serious shit in the tournament for us to get through the group.

[Cripps_orig]

There will have to be some serious shit in the tournament for us to get through the group.

Last 2 World Cups we've had piss easy groups.

2002 we were in the group of death.

Different kettle of story? Whatever you say Chiles.

[Rors]

"If that goes in, it's a different kettle of story." Adrian Chiles

[Cripps_orig]

Germany won 3-0

Muller scored the 3rd

Time he came home?

Italy qualify.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is an achievement? Sod off ITV. England were far more convincing in qualifying under Sven and Capello.

[Niall_Quinn]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BT1GO6LCYAEfTZh.jpg

Kyle Walker's best mate.

[Cripps_orig]

2 games left in most groups

Group A - Belgium and Croatia guaranteed top 2. They face each other next. Belgium will qualify with a point. Lose then they just have to bear Wales at home.

Group B - Italy are through. One point between Bulgaria in 2nd and Denmark in 3rd. Czechs and Armenia have an outside chance 4 points further back. Should be sorted next game as Bulgaria face Armenia and Denmark have Italy.

Group C - Germany are through. Sweden in 2nd 3 points ahead of Austria. They face each other in Sweden next. Winner takes all IMO.

Group D - Holland are through. Hungary a point ahead of Turkey and Romania. Romania has the easier run in as the other 2 have to play Holland.

Group E - Switzerland on the brink. Between Iceland, Slovenia and Norway for the play off.

Group F - Russia and Portugal guaranteed top 2. Russia should win it as they have 2 minnows left.

Group G - Bosnia and Greece level on points. Bosnia have a far superior goal difference and 2 winnable games. Should qualify.

Group H - England top and have 2 home games to confirm their place. Ukraine should get 2nd

Group I - Spain and France confirmed top 2. Level n points but Spain have a game in hand with 2 home games.

[Marc Overmars]

I wouldn't have known any of that without your summary.

I get more of my football fix from GW than Sky, BBC or any other site.

[Munchies]

Yep, BBC is slow , Skysports just steal everything off twitter and add 'sky sources'

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Paraguay 2-5 Argentina is how that match finished. Messi with two pelanties, Aguero, Di Maria and Maxi Rodriguez scoring.

[Master Splinter]

Trapper Tony has left the Ireland job by 'mutual consent'.

Time for Roy Keane tbh.

Or Lawro.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It'll be MON.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Seems Lineker has really riled Roy :lol:

He must actually think that was a good performance. Beyond belief.

I much prefer confrontational Lineker to MotD Lineker though.

[GP]

What did he say?

[LDG]

What did he say?

Something witty and clever no doubt. Like Des Lynam.

[Marc Overmars]

He basically said England are shit because they can't pass, which is fair enough.

However I've never heard him and his old boys talk about lesser sides in the Prem like that.

[GP]

Yeah seems a bit hypocritical.

Hodgson is shit, no doubt, but this England side is hardly bristling with world class talent.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're pretty irrelevant, but England are down to 17th in the FIFA rankings.

Spain first obviously, Argentina, Germany, Italy and Colombia make up the top 5.

USA, Switzerland and Chile all above England. And poor old France are 25th.

Wales are 52nd, ROI 59th, Scotland 63rd and NI 86th.

[Master Splinter]

Why do Twitter heroes like Lineker and Lil' Mickey never spout their controversial, hard-hitting, no-nonsense and not forgetting, witty, views live on air?

Spineless internet warriors.

This.

I wish we had the Irish version of MOTD - there is no holding back there. It doesn't matter that they are usually talking bollox - it is original bollox and no quarter is given, The best thing about watching the Austria v Ireland match was the post match 'discussion'. Liam Brady was fantastic and put Eamonn Dunphy down more than once. He was also easily the most inciteful on the Trappatoni era.

The BBC need a cull and ITV just needs to stop showing football.

[Master Splinter]

Forgetting Chiles for a moment, the ITV 'pundits' are actually far more bearable than the BBC ones. Keane usually speaks his mind and I think is the only man in the British sports media to have noticed Joe Hart is not very good. Southgate and Dixon are boring cliche machines, but don't have that unwarranted arrogant demeanour that Lineker, Hansen and Shearer give off. They also have people like Auclair and Marcotti on the CL shows, who can espouse about football in more than two-syllable words, five-word sentences and 'my first dictionary' vocabulary. With the BBC bolstering their cretin squad with people like Savage and Owen, ITV are looking more formidable by the day.

Chiles aside.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Actually, you are right. If ITV killed Chiles and got themselves some competent producers, there would be hope.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I didn't actually mind him on MotD (or that Apprentice after-show) but now he's just a mess of a man.

Daybreak killed him.

[LDG]

So errrrrrrr...lets just..errrrrr.....look....eeeerrrrrr...shall we....eerrrrr.....at some....eerrrrr.....fans, who..eerrrrrrr....don't know they're being....filmed....eerrrrr....doing funny things.....

Footballs hidden camera show. What an annoying twat of a man.

[Nayan]

never liked him but hee now comes across like a man trapped in a burning barn desperate to be charismatic as the anchorman on ITV and getting it horribly wrong by visibly trying too hard. Either taht or he is coked out of his head and very hyper. SAys something wqhen yuo are relying on Roy Keane and Lee Dixon for personality as well as punditry.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That was the best part of the show. And they've brought it back this season :ninja:

Uncle Albert :bow:


Christ you're right about the errs!

[Marc Overmars]

I've never minded MOTD 2. Different pundits, more time for real analysis because there's less games to cover and I just generally prefer the light-hearted feel to it, it's something I feel I can sit down and watch. Unlike the main show which I can't stand anymore and only record for our highlights.

[LDG]

One way or the other, I get to see most of our games live, so I just don't bother with MOTD anymore....unless it's when we've whipped someone that I know the old boys will get all upset about.

I just tune into the highlights on arse.com to watch in the morning.

I'm usually too drunk to see MOTD anyway.

[Munchies]

This is looking likely. :popcorn:

Gibbs has been called up in place of the injured Cole. Not that he'll play...

[Penguin]

I hope not

[Munchies]

Won't matter either way, Baines will start

The FA have put together a group of people tasked with improving the state of English football, a team that includes Danny Mills and several other dinosaurs. :lol:

93rd minute injury coming up?

[Dennis Bendtner]

Danny Mills :haha: why?

There's also this bloke involved somehow.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/oct/05/john-beck-fa-coaching


John Beck, one of the more infamous football managers of the past 30 years, has been taking a prominent role in the Football Association's programme to bring through the next generation of coaches.

Beck, known for his almost obsessive devotion to route-one tactics, is being employed by the FA to help licensed and unlicensed coaches qualify for their badges despite his notorious reliance on long-ball football during a career that once saw him offering cash bonuses for whichever of his players at Cambridge United kicked the ball the furthest.

At Cambridge, Beck ordered the grass to be left long in the corners so it would hold up the ball when it was kicked over the top. He was renowned for his cold-water bucket treatment, when players would be soaked before matches, and there were various stories of Cambridge embarking on underhand tactics to unsettle the opposition, from turning up the heating in the away dressing room to roughing up the pitch to make it as difficult as possible to play a passing game.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Up next, Dave Bassett and Bobby Gould.

The FA still haven't quite got the hang of it yet...

[Marc Overmars]

Dario Gradi is probably the most glorified dinosaur of the lot.

He brought through a string of pub teamers a gabillion years ago and has lived off that ever since.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Cleverley ruled out.

There is a chance afterall.

And tbf to Gradi, the biggest dinosaur on that panel is Howard Wilkinson by far.

[GP]

How are they fossils still employed?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Croatia 0-1 Belgium, Lukaku! :bow:
