    I should have said touch wood. Just washed it again and noticed the bottom of the 'T' in Blackthorn just started to come off.

    Uruguay were drawing with Slovenia 0-0 after 30 minutes, the bookies gave EVS for Uruguay to win during in match betting so I bit their hand off, it finished 2-0. Put the winnings onto Chile who were drawing 0-0 with Norn Ireland after 70 mins and again the bookies went out as far as 8/5 Chile, I took them while at 11/10, and again it finished 2-0.

    With his lack of goals you'd think Daly was playing centre back in the last 4 months of last season. But Daly and McCulloch in centre half is the most depressing thing Ive ever read. Young Gasparrato (sp) should be streets ahead in the pecking order.

    What a save (cant remember what game it was last season)....apart from that.....

    A good signing if he is used correctly and is fit. He should be good in the bigger matches when we need experience. Welcome back KM.

    What is Hodgson thinking playing Stones and Flanagan a week before the first game when neither are in the squad. I see the experience thing but so close to a WC opener? The experience thing also can be a waste, Walcott went to Germany 2006 as a 16 year old and hasn't featured in a WC since. Stones and Flanagan should be in the squad ahead of Smalling and Jones. Englands plan B showed they could get cuffed at the WC against a decent side. One plus side for England is this doesn't seem to be a good Italian team at all, their preparations have been awful. 0-0 with Ireland and 1-1 with Luxembourg.

    Southern Spain in the summer is hot and has humidity, ok not at the level as some areas in Brazil, but we're talking the 6th largest country in the world so different parts will have less humidity. My point being they are more likely to adapt to a humid heat more than likes of England.

    Some terrific stuff in this thread. Thanks Steve.

    In that scenario look out for a quick change of the rules by those attempting to run the game.

    Shirt, jacket and bow tie was class. New genuine away top is quality though. Will pick that up in Amsterdam next month.

    The elite have won with all the big teams being there. It depends if the draw see's some of the European clubs play in the south as the tournament goes on, which will be a bit cooler. Spain should adapt ok as their climate is warm in general.

    Certainly will be having a flutter in the coming days. Will go for an out right winner but struggling to decide between Argentina, Germany and Spain at the moment. I think Greece could cost you in that bet, but their group is to tough to call.

    Hope he makes it. Peralta is the sort of player who could get better for us in time as we move up the leagues and he adapts to the country and football, especially if he is played in his right position.

    Maybe a year or 18 months to late but Id still be happy if Miller signs again, will easily get 12 goals in the championship and as many assists. I think he will be key in the big games against Hearts and Hibs.

    Its the one thing I miss about the UK is you take your faulty item back to where you bought it, here you have to go to the manufacturer. I would say it should have been done at the time, there is no proof you haven't worn it playing rugby every day or only worn it once, however the fact you emailed them in October stands you a chance. I have washed my home top from this season at least 30 times and its still as good as new every time I put it on.

    Would be good to sign Fabregas back. Make the strength in depth far more quality. Diaby isn't going to play 5 games a season, Rosicky is 33/34 and Arteta has been good but would be a good squad player.

    Mols or Negri?

    Gribz replied to Scott7's topic in Rangers Chat

    Mols hands down, was an all round player and did it at all levels. Negri was lethal for about 25 games, and was superb in that time but I hadn't heard of him before and he didn't do anything after that injury.

    Its one from Germany, Argentina and Spain for me. Brazil's home advantage will get them through until they come up against one of those. If I was to name a dark horse then I think Chile may get out of the group that includes Holland and Spain. A lot expected of Belgium but I would say Switzerland could be a dark horse. We are due a good world cup and with the groups drawn as they are with big matches early on and open groups I think we'll get an overall great WC.
  19. Gribz
    6 out of 19 world cups have had the hosts win, the law of averages may say its time for that to happen again especially given its Brazil. But like SC mentioned yesterday about the Italians this Brazilian side doesn't have a Pele, Zico, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho......So I can see Argentina, Spain and Germany beating them if / when they come up against them.
  20. Gribz
    Italy drew with Rep Ireland tonight with their captain breaking a leg and being ruled out of the WC, that's a blow you don't like to hear about.
  21. Gribz
    Baggio's x 2, Donadoni's, Del Piero's....players who know how to perform. Buffon is still there though.
  22. Gribz
    I don't think the league situation or players can judge Italy, they seem to turn up and still perform - Winners 2006 and final Euro 2012. They know how to go to tournaments and perform. But they are capable of also the odd slip up.
  23. Gribz
    Never heard of them. Agree with that. No way we could afford his wages unless he wants to come on a cheap but a Premier League / Championship could offer him quadriple for sitting on the bench. Cuellar, Boyd and Miller would win us the league though.

    I had a sneaky he would move upstairs in the summer with De Boer and Bergkamp coming in to replace him. Maybe not then! It will be interesting to see what he does in the transfer window, Arsenal fans wont accept unknown or no signings. Arsenal do have a quality squad but they get far too many injuries. Had Walcott and Ramsay not got injured Id say they would have wont the league but Wenger didn't address it in January. If he signs top quality then they will go all the way next season. if he doesn't then he can expect a fight for top 4. He needs a few from: Benzema, Remy, Draxler, Di Maria plus a new right back and a centre half plus a back up keeper. Also needs Walcott, Diaby, Ramsay, Ozil and Wilshire to be fit for a full season...throw in Cazorla, Ox-Cham and Podolski then they can win the league. But Arsenal have to improve next season against Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea home and away plus go to Liverpool and Everton and win games.

    Yes 3rd in a 2 team league said it all. Ok Hearts did well that season but after Burley went they lost it. McLeish was lucky he had so many impact players. Lovenkrands could do something out of nothing, De Boer was world Class, Prso is in the Ledley King mould where he had a dodgy knee but was still head and shoulders above the rest. Hartson couldn't take pens
