For the record, not wanting to join the army doesn't mean you aren't allowed an opinion on wars we're involved in. I don't want to be an undercover cop cosying up to a load of smackheads to take down a drug cartel but I agree that someone somewhere should probably do it.

You join the army, you might fight in wars that aren't as simple as fighting a big evil baddie. Fact of life. That doesn't mean I think it's 'good' but if anyone's joined up in the last 20 years thinking otherwise then they are naive to say the least.

Lampard's still a very useful player, much more so than most of the alternatives. I will never understand how much stick he gets.

Probably a terrible attitude to have but I pretty much couldn't care less about most things like this anymore. If he is, I'll greet the papers with an 'Oh dear', if he isn't I'll greet the paper with an 'Oh'. Then turn to the back and read the transfer rumours and get on with my life. May be having a mid-life crisis.

I hate the Tony BLIAR thing, always said with such self-satisfaction as if they've just Poirot'ed his DNA on an Iraqi orphans bloodied corpse or something.

He's not top class but Robinson was perfectly capable as England keeper, that freak bobble was a once in a career type of thing that just happened at the worst possible time. Can't blame him for getting sick of all the shit from it tbh and deciding he'd had enough. Much better than Green and Carson imo. Pretty damning indictment of the goalkeeping options we've had to pick from recently like.

His thinking must just be that there are already better versions of Johnson and Lennon (Young and Walcott) in the squad and he wanted to have the option of a different sort of player. I would have taken him but Johnson's one of those players that fans seem to love far more than managers, he's good to watch and does score a decent share of goals but likewise he makes bad decisions sometimes and seems to lose the ball a fair bit. Seems to shoot from distance far too often when there's must better options on. Last year would have said Lennon had to go but seems he's been injured a lot this year and saw recently that Walcott has much superior stats this season. Saying that if stats has anything to do with it Downing shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. At just sticking to the wing and whipping in crosses Downing's ok though and I think the 0 assists thing can be misleading, I've seen him have a few decent games and a lot of the time he's been crossing decent enough balls but with only Suarez to aim for.

Would rather pay to see Chisora sit an IQ test vs a newborn

Sunday Night Fever?

Neuer could so easily be a 60's Bond villain in that white turtleneck

He'll play a lot more football and probably get paid a fair bit more at somewhere like Villa if they're signing him as a starter. Plus, yeah we're doing very very well, but it's not like being a squad player at Man Utd or City where you know you'll pick up some medals along the way. More money, more football, unlikely to miss out on winning any/many trophies (I hope he does like). Best decision for him, especially at his age where he's coming into his best years.

Martins is (was?) a regular for Nigeria.

Similar with 31 yo Grant Holt, seemed the same people who were saying he'd earned his place over Carroll were the ones complaining that we should be using the tournament for bringing younger players into the squad. This whole Carroll's only had a couple of good games thing, it's not like the EURO's is a 38 game season, we don't need a consistently average to quite good striker. Carroll at his best is very effective, especially with a squad like ours which isn't going to be playing carpet football, and he only needs to turn up for a handful of games. It seems to have been the biggest games that he's played best in this season as well. He's coming in to form at the right time and I think given the chance he'll batter a few defences this summer. I agree with most of the squad, obviously everyone has their own little preferences here and there but I can see the logic behind all of his choices (Downing stretches that a bit... but yes even him). I'm sure post-tournament we'll hear all about how Sturridge and Adam Johnson would have been simply too mighty for any defence to handle and them not starting cost us the tournament but there you go.

Manchester United have never won the title since the departure of Gabriel Obertan.

Please send me a river if theres one about would be much appreciated, my usual places arent working

Thank's for the help. Sorry for putting it in GC, never realised there was an actual help section. For the record, all I had to do was change the fuse :blush2:

My dell laptop charger isn't charging my laptop, the blue light on the charger has gone out, any solutions?? Or am I fucked?

You're Edin for trouble with puns like that...

One thing that'll be weird this summer, is that normally (the last few seasons anyway) if say Tottenham, Chelsea or Arsenal are after an exciting player from abroad I'll hope they get them so that I can see them play, this year it'll be improving the teams directly around us

Tbf he was asked a question on a phone in and gave an honest answer. I see nothing wrong with that.

Think we'll probably be a little too eager and get a bit sloppy in the first half, if we make it to around 60 mins level then I reckon we'll go on to win.

If this has been a 'transitional' season I'd take one every year please
