I didnt even understand him

No sympathy for him when he does croak it.

He knows hes had problems and still does all that shit

[Cripps_orig]

Let me deal with Piers Morgan and Louis Spence first. I'll get to him though

Harsh on Morgan tbh. Hes a Gooner and that should be enough to pardon him.

Go nuts on Spence

[Boss]

Micah Richards as one of the three overage players?

[Master Splinter]

He's been retired for years and didn't deserve to be picked.

Pretty much.

Has had about five good games since scoring that free-kick against Greece.

You're being quite generous there, but yeah, agreed.

[Letters]

He shouldn't be in there if it was just going to be for sentimental value. Good decision.

Micah Richards though? Really?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well he's hardly great but there won't be too many options for that position. It's not like he is at the very end of his career.

Bale out of the Olympics with an injury

Team GB

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale is doing it for Becks, starting a trend that Bellamy will follow.

Uefa president Michel Platini says the 2020 European Championship could be spread across various cities in Europe, rather than having a single host.
Traditionally one or two countries have hosted the tournament, which is being held in Poland and Ukraine this summer.
The next competition in 2016 will be hosted by France.
"The Euros in 2020 could be held all over Europe," said Platini. "It could be either one country and 12 stadiums, or one stadium in 12 or 13 cities."
Turkey had been favourite to host the event but their bid has hit difficulties due to a desire to host the Olympic Games in Istanbul in the same year.
Platini confirmed a final decision would be taken in January or February next year.
"This matter will be discussed very seriously," he added. "We will have a great debate about 2020 and discuss the pros and cons.
"It's an idea I feel really passionate about, it will be a lot easier from a financial perspective.
"We are not going to wait until we know whether Turkey are going to get the Olympics.
"It creates a problem for us. We do have other candidates. Everyone has the possibility to host it.
"It is easier to go from London to Paris or Berlin than Cardiff to Gdansk. It would be four games per venue. It is a great debate."
Platini added: "We are just thinking about it. I have said 12 or 13 host cities, it could be 24 or 32.
"It is the political decision that needs to be made. We wouldn't have to build stadiums or airports. That could be important in an economic crisis."
In January 2011, Platini called for the 2022 World Cup to be played across the whole of the Gulf after Qatar won the right to host the tournament.
Meanwhile, Platini has repeated his opposition to goal-line technology.
"I am against technology," he said at Saturday's press conference in Kiev.
"Where do we stop? There was a mistake in the Ukraine-England game.
"But there was an offside before that."
