Tell you what though, last season I thought Julio Cesar was well past it when I watched him at Inter. I was wrong, he's still one of the best keepers in the world. God knows how he ended up at QPR, he's possibly the best keeper in the prem.

Yeah i saw on the replay that he went thru him, to be fair he put him off his shot tho...and yeah ive said it many times, cleverly just is ticy tacy football...hes keeps it going quick, plays simple...has a decent pass range and cross..and he defo doesnt pull out of a challenge

What are you talking about

Rooney killed himself....all he does is put on weight and try playing with it, then they stop playing him or he hits ridiculously bad form...and he gets trim again n starts playing good again

Plus his type of player will always get burnt out before the age of 30....hes naturally quite a big lad...n he doesnt keep weight off easy..likes a drink

Hes the ricky hatton of football

I love the guy to bits but at the end of the day, Fergie didnt do anything to ruin rooney...rooney did it himself

Bale is best British player by far now, **** Rooney

Well Austria are 13 places above Wales. That is like the Ivory Coast beating Spain

From what I have seen of Wilshere he does well at Arsenal at going forward but thats because at times he can be a liability in defence which I am sure his teammates love.

He is a poor mans Paul Scholes

Bored out of my head, so here's some obscure football stickers from the 90's.









Check out that HD snap of Bartram.

To be fair Ba isn't that obscure, absolute beast on World Cup 98' on playstation.

Great quote.




Another fantastic attempt at photoshopping.

I'll sleep well knowing that Carragher will retire with one less Premier League winners medal than Bebe.

Such a stupid comparison...



I was pleasantly surprised to see the Welsh win though, thought Austria would have too much for them. Same with the Irish, ze Polish aren't a bad team and I thought could've sneaked an away win.

What a joke the signing of Bebe was.

Ferguson makes some good buys but by far more shite ones. I think he went on loan to Besiktas and they're yet to play him, says it all.

I was joking

Nobody takes the rankings serious.

We are ranked 81st (joint with Uganda lol) whilst Scotland a team we beat not long ago are 69th.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. If he turns out to be half the player Paul Scholes was then he'll have had a great career.
