Gribz

I think the trip to South Africa is a good move. Its a long haul flight and far away and it will make a newish squad feel more together than home matches. It will give PLG time to get to know players also.

No to Nondo, too injury prone. Has the McFadden story re-surfaced again?? Maybe a 2nd option if we dont get Clement??

Jammy for the Germans!!! But thats them in black in white, they scrape through all the time.

Have you got your Safety hat ready incase you get struck by any flying bottles Colshy? I think thats what Sven will start with, but IMO he should give Rooney an hour to gain fitness for the next stages and a big match. Its an ideal chance as England should win this comfortably (but hopefully not). I'll go for 3-0. If i was Sven id go: _________________Robinson__________________ __Carragher___Rio_________terry________Cole__ ________________Beckham___________________ _____Gerrard_____Lampard__________J Cole___ ____________Rooney____Owen______________

Great goal!!!!!!!

And Watch Tunisia and Namouchi, play well

Gav's got a point, they have a very impressive looking bench but the team out has done well. They must have the best selection of keepers - Casillas Canizares and Reina!

Honeslty!!?? I seriously never heard about that. Superb news for Arsenal and the EPL!!

yeah bolton!

I dont mind old Archie, i find him quite amuzing

I heard it was the coach and Trezeguet who dont get on hence him not starting yesterday. As for bets, agree with colshy, Spain, Germany and Tunisia but i havent had time to get it on.

Good player and its shown that Barca have signed him. I would of had him in the chelsea team a lot more this season. Him and Jimmy flloyd were a good partnership a few years back.

Spain are crusing. Id say them, Germany, Italy and Czechs have been the better sides but its only 1 game. Id like to see Spain go on and do something this year, they have got some good players like Reyes and Fabregas eh Colshy??

Did he sort his future out before the WC like he wanted to? I didnt hear of anything when i was on mars last month. If he did im assuming he has said hel stay with Arsenal!?

Agreed and Im glad I have commentators ive never heard before for this WC. Barry Davies was quite good for the BBC before retiring but still quite boring. Motson is a prime reason why Scots what England pumped every game. Its a pity Sky couldnt coverage the WC aswell as it being on terrestrial tv, but Tyler and Gray deserve time off for the WC. Im just glad i get them over here for the EPL.

After 1 game???????

I dont think banning it will send the message across to others will say anything. Others will think we just cant sing. Only changing the words and letting them hear for themselves will show that we dont have a problem. Im still waiting for an answer (if anyone has) about the actually ban and whether its just at Ibrox or Rangers fans at any ground. If so then why can others still sing the tune and they havent been warned?

Hoff Henry Smith

Poor Gribz hasnt even looked at his team since quickly signing up, hence him propping up the table!! I'll sort this out tho and be back

In dissapointed in Henry's game. He needs Trezeguet upfront with him.

Good betting Rino. My bets arent coming up at all but its early. Got Holland to win outright 25 quid at 14/1 Backed Spain aswell at 14/1 as they are due a tournament. Fancied Mexico as a dark horse so backed them each way at 20/1 Henry / Raul as top scorers which i cant see coming up. Im going to start betting on individual matches as ive got about 4 correct scores so far but not been betting on them.

Lets not start this debate.

Take Owen out that list for a start, he's below average. King isnt there but wouldnt call him world class. They have above average players Colshy, but as a team there average. They need a spark and a change of system. IMO the spark could be Rooney or even Walcott. The change of system HAS to see a holding midfielder. Whether its Carrick, Jenas or even Beckham they should have one and then allow Cole, Lampard and Gerrard to do what they do best.

Well the French wont win the WC cup by the looks of things. They should of taken Bobby Pires, Anelka, Guily and Cantona.

Southgate missed a penalty.............
