Did Liverpool not pay about 8mill for him?? He must be close to 15 mill in fees (assuming the Wigan deal goes ahead)

Can't wait to watch Ukraine Switzerland again!!!

But we're in competition with Borrusia Munchenmunchenmunchengladtobebach!

Ambiguous? Who does he play for? Is he a new signing?

Brilliant!!

He's a donkey. He's 28 and a former international - says it all.

Very very glad he didn't sign - SPL would have been a doddle for JFH.

Pessimistic buggers, the lot of you. France's best players are going to be gone - Thuram, Makelele, Zidane and possibly Viera. they weren't going to qualify from a group with Israel and the Rep of Ireland until that lot came out of retirement. They beat Portugal to get to the final and I reckon we could put together a team on here that could beat portugal 1-0. I'm not saying it's an easy 6 points but we should be aiming for 4 at least. As for the ukraine they have a cracking striker but no-one with the ability to get the ball to him if up against a competent defence, which is one thing Walter will make sure we have. And the Italians that are in the Final are the same italians we very nearly beat at home and the same Italians who needed 2 free kicks to beat us in Milan. I'm looking for 12 points from 18 in those 6 games. We've got the nucleus of a better than decent young squad. Gordon Webster Pressly Anderson McNaughton Naysmith Fletcher Ferguson Quashie Hartley Boyd Subs Riordan Maloney Miller Burke O'Connor Bring it on!!!

I saw this somewhere else - I think it's just for the tournament, apparently he's been the announcer there for 20 years or something.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Boy with a future that one. I never agree with a word Clive fooking Tyldsley says but when he begged with zidane during commentary not to retire I agreed with him then. Still an amazing player, was really impressed with Ribery too. They'll stroll past Portugal, but I was really disappointed in Brazil - have been waiting the whole tournament for ronaldinho to do something but it never happened.

Both teams were rank. If Portugal win it, I'll be gutted and I hate this single striker thing - all four teams today played it as well as Italy yesterday.

Last time I took her to a match she tried to start a scrap with Galatasaray fans in Barcelona. She's a liability and a hooligan. I'm not putting you off her, am I?

It doesn't matter what position you play. If you don't have decent touch, you don't have decent touch. If you can't pass, you can't pass, if you can't beat a player, don't have pace and lack positional sense etc etc. namouchi falls into all of those categories and is a waste of a wage and a peg in the dressing room.

Fan-fan started with J-Rod. Sign of the new season? Suppose Svensson has extra time off after WC.

Pretty much spot on Danny. Can't disagree with anything there.

He has featured in over 50 games in al competitions. I've seen him play quite a few times and have yet to see anything to convince me that his wages are money well spent. Maybe in a time where we are financially better off it might be a worthwhile gamble to give him a season under le gaffer to see if he improves, but frankly if someone wants to take him off our wage bill and toss in some cash into the bargain then thank you and goodnight.

How good were those German penalties. 4-2 to Germany? I'm a genius. The Argies seem to get a bit of stage fright against decent teams - bit lucky against Mexico and looked a bit lost against the Dutch. Can't see the germans being stopped, unless there is a Russian winter on it's way before next weekend.

The missus has now decided that my Xmas trip to Aberdeen is maybe not the best idea. But I'll put my foot down - once I get there and she can't hit me.

How can he not have had a fair crack. If he hadn't played or had only been here 6 months then yes. Nieto never got a fair crack. Namouchi bought the whip, took it home and cracked away. That's how much of a crack he's had. He's shit - whether it's AM and AW's fault or noit. We can't afford to keep donkeys because we feel sorry for them.

I'm sticking by Ukraine for the semi's and I'll say 2-0 to Ukraine.

I'm going to rock the boat and go for the Germans, 4-2 in extra time.

If Valentin Ivanov was there, would he have booked him for diving??

:D LMFAO

I would have to go for Maradona - the rest have all been before my time, so have only seen clips. Others like Zidane, Henry, Rivaldo have never taken a World Cup by the scruff. Although Michael Ballack got the Germans to the final single handed last time. Probably the closest to maradona since '86.
