I can see why he did it, yeah. I can't imagine him seeing it as anything other than a stepping stone for him though. Hull will know that though, they'll be hoping he plays out of his skin for a season, helps them stay comfortably mid-table and do OK in the group stages of the Europa League, then se...

with the National, at Hyde Park.

tickets £60 face value but will take nearest offer.

IN! for Salisbury away. We can have tea and toast in my parents' house before the game then go on the rampage after it, having got a lift down into town afterwards from my Dad

as discussed elsewhere, he was on top form at Royal Ascot, providing a natural link-man between the likes of Mike Read and Anne Diamond, and hordes of seemingly randy provincial MILF types

http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... addy-kenny a bit more lolz in there

oh and Hockaday, LOL

if they don't go down this season then there are going to be three all-time shit teams in the Championship

Hoop Blah I'm amazed the England manager still doesn't understand that Milner isn't there as a wide player though....

he doesn't comment on your keyboard warrior skills does he

Bit surprised Samir Nasri doesn't look like being included by Deschamps in the France squad. You could well imagine him being a bit of brat, it's still brave to leave him out you'd have thought. bearing in mind what happened at the last WC who can blame DD for wanting to play it safe character-wise

yeah cos they really kick on from that squad don't they

the more successful players tend to go straight in don't they?

^ 'greed. and for all that it's a community asset that needs to be saved and so on - well let it carry on being a community asset just at a more sustainable level.

8 goals in 21 games for England, it's not the worst record.

LOL @ getting cross because your MLS goals have gone unnoticed. only Beckham used to get away with that.

'debates' between managers will all just turn into chummy back-slapping anecdotes

Reading4eva Greg Halford?

Not heard that one before. Remember Byron Glasgow & Andy McLaren getting done in their day.

it's why Roy Keane spazzed out at Coppell while at Sunderland

is it worth turning the game on its head just to try and win the World Cup - something that isn't guaranteed in the slightest?

Bear in my mind 2nd goal was only 2 minutes after the 1st. Possible that a defensive sub would not have got on the pitch in time even if Rodgers had tried. Should definitely have done something at 3-2 though. I think he said afterwards that at 3-2 they had Agger ready to come but then Palace nicked...

not many

England
Wales
France

If he'd played for one of the big clubs he'd have been shown loads more patience by various England managers and got a lot more than 8 caps.

yep also happy to hold my hands up on Gerrard, and Suarez to some extent

wrt the OP

too much other stuff going on in their lives. the person who asked "why are there so many home fans" had it nailed.

I don't like seeing the demise of clubs with a history showing that they were once one of the better sides around-I didn't like it when Wolves and Sheff Wed. went down as far as the 4th tier, nor when it happened to Burnley who nearly went out of the league, nor when Villa,Man City and Leeds and Fo...
