calamity james will never play another game for the national squad again.

paul robinsons spot is safe, and green should be 2nd in line

remember sven is still manager. he gives becky a free role?? he puts becky in the team?? crazy swedes.

600th post. *bang bang*
beat to it. DENIED. oh...

 

[RUB!X]

HeCtic, those shirts look ok, but i dont think they are original ... no1 would sell it that cheap, although you cant really tell the difference ...
i just bought Arsenal 04 home shirt, the one fab is wearing in HeCtic's sig for $80 from Rebel ... The new one is 130 (vintage) ...

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

i know that ppl have always been sayin that calamity would get the sack and then he is selected again, but this time i think it might be different. england have high hopes for 2006 WC, and a 4-1 loss is gonna cause a stink with the tabloids. sven has already copped a lot of shit, but this time its gonna hurt him.

watever happened to nigel martyn? has he retired? he would compete for no1

 

[timbk2]

[Constip8edSkunk]

skoko at wigan... good but i think and good to see another aussie in the epl.

i bet owen wants back at liverpool now because of champ league win last season - and real crashes and burns in europe in recent years....glory hunter...

I think Owen wants to be back at Liverpool because he's just not going to play at Madrid. We'll take him back with open arms. Glory hunters I don't mind in the short term. Everyone in the Chelsea squad bar Terry and Lampard are glory hunters.

 

[matt#1]

Everyone in the Chelsea squad bar Terry and Lampard are glory hunters.

As much as I hate Chelsea...I have to disagree. Maybe players such as SWP and Essien who become Chelsea players this year are glory hunters...but Chelsea were no certainty to win the EPL title at the beginning of last season and were certainly not favourites.

In other news..Tottenahm are apparently interested in Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt. I know that they just sold of Kanoute...but have they gone striker crazy!?!!
They are like a smaller and less expensive Real Madrid...only with a better defense lol .

 

[Benny_]

Anyone who joined Chelsea since the Abramovic era is more than likely a glory hunter. What else would they be joining for if not glory? History? Prestige? The chance to be part of a wonderful "Who would you buy if you had unlimited resources at your disposal?" experiment? No, I think players who do go to Chelsea are well aware of how much glory a large amount of cash can buy and joined for just that reason. Even if they didn't think they'd win it last year, they'd certainly expect to win plenty of things in years to come.

fair enough. well said ben. I'd prefer to hate the Chelsea players anyway. Thats the last time I will stand up for them .

 

[copious]

Yeah guys like Lampard and Joe Cole will regret joining Chelski when West ham win the premier league this year

[braad]

I doubt they're orginal, but they look as authentic as the one I bought from the Arsenal shop, so they're good game. I'm not a fan of Rebel jerseys myself. Thjey don't come with proper numbering, naming or badges. It's like $15 extra for each number and 5 per letter or something ridiculous like that. And they're only ironed on, not properly stitched in, so you get some peel after a while.

The new home jersey looks gash. I prefer the canary yellow any day

 

[HeCtic]

isnt martyn pretty ancient now?

Martyn is still awesome.

And look what happens without Sol in the team. Half decent opposition stuff em. Rio and Carragher bahahahaha.

EDIT: Oh, and I agree with everything Benny said. Although you could probably add fatcunt Frank to the mercenary list.

 

[braad]

just some bad misses

. Although you could probably add fatcunt Frank to the mercenary list.

You should probably start downloading pics of fatcunt Frank into your sig .
Chelski v Arse should be a cracker of a game though...I'll definitely be up at 1:00am on Sunday.
