On a grey, miserable, winter's day, thank you FIFA for being an organisation which keeps on giving. The FA's crime is being stupid enough to cooperate.



Happybunny,

Me quoting would've helped.

Manchester United play Southampton in 4 games time, RvP hat-trick. :) Mexico; training game?

Cheers,

I think that you have a saying for that "Sod's law" I hope that I got it right.:D

The Mexico game it's only a training but still, it was very bad, there was absolutely no imagination or flair from the team. This while playing in front of your own supporters.:mad:
I foresee very bleak times ahead.:(
 
I'm actually excited. Maybe Garcia and the FBI will actually crack this nut and, at the least, so damage FIFA's reputation that they will be forced to make some substantive reforms. Or at best, see some of these Exco bastards kicked to the curb and possibly even jailed.
 
By Fizzoid; It's not over yet...

They are good value.

Lord Blackadder,

Hoping. Just have a picture of Blatter in an escape pod ready to pollute another world.

My understanding is yes; when applied to Koeman's thinking/side.

Austria 1st in the qualification group with 4 points ahead of russia ,sweden and montenegro and still has to play twice against Lichtenstein and once agaisnt Moldavia at home... i'm now officially hyped !

we really could make it to a tournament the first time since 1998 without being a host
 
Sunday the Netherland win 6-0 against Letland.

Guus Hiddink still has a job, and the win was by 6 goals, but the fact remains this was against Letland.
On strange point was Guus wouldn’t say whether he would still be manager next year.

But all is not well with the KNVB and the Team, there is now pressure mounting on Bert van Oostveen to stand down as KNVB director.

There were moments on the pitch that if the opposition had been a top team, the Netherlands would have faced another defeat.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar played a great game, and even I will admit that Arjen Robben was fantastic. Robin van Persie did just enough to get on the score sheet, but he is still a shadow of the player he was.
The young players looked at times out of their depth even against Letand.

This could be the begining of the restart for Netherland or just a flash in the pan, only time will tell.
 
Will the last fit Man Utd player please turn out the lights? :eek: Might have to send out the complete U21 squad against Arsenal next weekend.
 
^It's a disaster for Liverpool, who probably needed him to be fit all season in order to have any hope of finishing in the top four. By losing Sturridge and Suarez we lose 50+ goals.

I watched a bit, via alternative sources...it wasn't a classic
 
Going to be a big game Saturday. Can Man U redeem themselves or will arsenal break their loosing fit.
Nbc is pumping this game a lot haha. Lots of commercials and ads for it.
 
On paper Arsenal should win since United are decimated with injuries.

But its Arsenal...

It's the Physio Room Derby.



Giroud is fit though, it would be absolutely hilarious if he scored.

Giroud isn't supposed to play until mid December but has been practicing with the team. Def ready forum to return with his hair that stays perfect for a whole match lol.

Side note, Adidas now has dBF 4 star jerseys available online :

Still waiting for my 4 star track jacket though. Need to replace my 8 yr old 04' World Cup one. Hope they aren't ugly like yellow or something lame.
 
Friendly of Women Germany vs England will be streamed here:
http://tv.dfb.de/video/england-gegen-deutschland-live-auf-dfb-tv/9972/
Sunday, 16 o'clock (German time, though they are playing in London ;) ).

Interesting will be to see, if the tactics and playing style changes for England have integrated well enough until now and will result in something.

55.000 tickets are sold. BBC had launched a few interviews (with German players, too).
