Speechless .... other than having a better feel for what samster was talking about.
A YOB filmed putting a lit flare in his bum strolled into Wembley without a ticket after a 15-hour drink and drugs bender.
Charlie Perry, 25, on Wednesday night boasted of dodging shambolic security at England’s Euros final after downing 20 cans of cider........

^^^^ Mancini says the WCF will be an Italy v Spain affair with possibly another team (not England) easing out Spain for a crack at the Eyeties.

Only the sun [-X [-X [-X

Amazes me that so many so called people ( only just on this evidence) would be there egging on someone who is blatantly, obviously, THREE PENCE SHORT OF A SHILLING.

Nan used to say theres more out than in (referring to the local lunatic asylum), and it would appear from scenes like this that she has been proven right in the 20 odd years since I left Blightys shores :roll:

Surely the now demi god like Mancini sacked by Man City cant count out the South American nations .. tho Brazil Argentina dont strke the fear of god like before , Uraguay and Columbia are hard to beat .. on their day any of Europes big 6 could win the WC .. but as the recent Euros showed some dark horses there as well ...SO...how clubs qualify and the group draw will be vital .

(Tam stop reading now we are talking about qualification).. DM predicting the wee jammys wont more so looking at current standings ENGLAND may be the only participant from the UK

Possibly one of the most open WC tournaments ever IMO...

The LatAm teams are still mostly one trick ponies. Same same Poland.

Colombia and Uruguay are big fish in a shallow puddle. You may as well add Peru to the very short list of 'hard to beat' teams.

Any threats from the dark continent? Same applies there I reckon. There's a few absolute giants at their respective clubs but they fail to ignite in national competition.

PS: England are a three-to-five trick pony but even on their best of days, only one shows up.

So in basic Angleterre speak you agree theres a very open WC tournament in prospect .

If that's Scunnyspeak for a long and ultimately uninspiring WC tournament bereft of any entertainment, then yes.

Nor do England.

Had a mega wake up call today ......... got a reminder of how mind numbingly boring it is to watch a Steve Bruce team.
Pre season away to York City (National Lge North (6th tier) and the commentator is coming out with phrases like "Well there's nothing available so he has to go back" ........ against a bunch of near amateurs,....... these twats are paid 40k or so A WEEK to have the footballing intelligence to be able to MAKE SOMETHING AVAILABLE .....
Great start to the season Lost 1 - 0 ........ might as well get used to losing early

That's already been discussed and the chance of a Tartan army visiting Qatar to cheer on their overachieving hero's is as scarce as Papa ever making another Scottish footie pie let alone a rowie.

The whole venue is a kiss of death to the game IMHO.

Due to the fact that we are only a week away from the Anniversary of this great event, and it is obviously so special to our Scottish fans, Gabby Logan and friends have put together this must see video .....

Sit back and enjoy , its only 2 hrs 20 minutes long, and a fair bit can be seen from FIFAs own colour recording
