Carragher does not play his best there, yeah hes strong and can protect the defence but that will offer us nothing as an attacking outlet, we need to supplie gerrard and lampard with a good service when coming out of defence

We need to play 2 feckin forwards insteaad of 5 stupid midfielders – we hardly created a chance against Ecquador
Ffs Lampard has been firing blanks all tournament and Gerrard hasn’t started

Drivel’s right.
This is when the madness of England only taking 4 strikers with them comes into sharp contrast.

That could be a good thing for England considering Hargreaves fantastic performance against Sweden.

Listen up Herman you little twonk. I was only reporting what I saw in the Newspaper, and it was Sepp Blatter’s opinion. :roll:

Surely the greatest point against the death penalty must be the Birmingham 6?

Just slightly aside from the topic – but this Birmingham 6 thingy has always puzzled me.

OK they were originally convicted of killing all those people in Brum, imprisoned, and many years later their convictions were overturned on appeal, and they were released.

The bit that puzzles me is this. Why, given that they were totally innocent of any sort of involvement at all, did the Police arrest them in the first place???

I mean, there they were presumably living in or around the Birmingham area, going about their lawful business as most everybody else does, when along comes Mr Plod and arrests them for, apparently, no reason at all. Not only that but then they are tried at great public expense and so on. What on earth made the Police just pick on 6 guys at random???

Can anybody shed any light on this at all???

Is that a serious question?

They were Irish, Catholic and in Birmingham at the time- that was all the police needed!

Have no idea how old you are PB but I can (just) remember the early 70’s when bombs were going off like firecrackers and the police were under a huge amount of poressure to find and convict those responsible. The fact they found people who they knew weren’t responsible but would “fit the crime” was irrelevant for the 20 years they were falsely imprisoned.

they were also IRA members or sympathisers – probably a “sleeper” – waiting for instructions to reek havoc
If they weren’t responsible for those 2 bombs no doubt they would soon have been in action
Keeping them in jail probably saved a lot of lives

This is just total speculation. There’s a huge difference between a sympathiser to any cause and being an active member.

:x FFS I go away for a while and you people have already got your minds in the gutter. You’re all a bunch of humourless twa.ts with very deranged sick minds. Id love to know what a psychologist would make of you lot if the first thing on your minds when a 100 year old is mentioned is an old wrinkly woman with floppy ti.ts.
I was clearly talking about Grand Marnier Centenaire 100 yr old wine. You bunch of fu.cking sickos. :evil:

Think I saw something in the paper about Sepp Blatter saying that every team was playing attacking football, except England.

[Bad Manners]

You know exactly what I mean Magoo. :roll: [-X

Errr, think I read it wrong. :oops:
