the parallels are uncanny. at least the rest of the country gets an idea of what it's like to support the toon now All we need to complete the picture is a fat lad with a bulldog tattooed on his belly weeping like a girl......

Fergie ensured Rooney wouldn't be up to much at the WC by flogging him to death at the end of last season and I wouldn't be surprised if he's not fully fit. Judging by the reports it sounds like we needed more pace in central defence and midfield. England are ridiculously overhyped for what they are and there's not enough strength in depth.

Makes your heart sink doesn't it. Wow.

England are sleeping giants, they should be competing for prizes but are let down by their players, management and hierarchy. I've had nothing but disappointment from following them, so it's a relief that I can go back to supporting Newcastle United

Based on what Stevie? World War II? I've never thought of the Germans as less humane than the British, if anything quite the opposite. I don't know the place and people as well as you, but it seems a tad extreme. The German people I've met have always seemed bang on, if a little starchy.... Lots of things. I've met loads of germans, they are calculated, humourless, cold and boring. We are a more emotive people without a doubt. I'll never forget Brehme's tackle on Gazza, it was done to make him react and get him sent off, calculated in an evil German way. They still have that nazi inprint stained across their very fibre, a sinister, cold way about them, this view isn't ignorance, it's what I see. They are more efficient, more organised, more staid in every walk of their life and less likely to make mistakes, they are robotic and mechanical, we are emotional and culpable. I mean look at these. I think this picture says it all. Look at the state of the jeans the one in the middle is wearing. Sorry Stevie, I'm sure you've something interesting to say but I can't take my eyes off these women's knockers

It's a real shame we are playin each other so early, these are the two sides that have the mental strength and intelligence to upset the South American sides in the latter stages of the tournament. I appreciate your comments, but still think Germany will win.... I'm sticking my neck out and saying we'll win 3-1. The last time we played them our reserves utterly dominated in Berlin against them. I think the real England will stand up, I really do. Kin hope so, or it's going to be hell watching the rest of the tournament here. "Herr Parky, your team did not play so well I think! It is always this way against us! You vill hope we do not meet again next time, hein?!" * belly laughs and slaps back *

That's what I was tryng to explain earlier, already had Mrs P's brother on the blower giving it large. They don't even think they can lose to us anymore when it counts. NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!

Living here I know that they have absolutely 0 fear of playing us. That'll make it all the sweeter when we beat them! Seriously, I'm more excited about this than the prospect of playing South Korea or some other numpties.

Let's give it a go before we write ourselves off - you never know we might win. If all else fails at least we did better than France. I think Parky is imagining the pitying looks and patronising airs he's going to get if the sausage munchers turn us over. Chin up, old boy, Spirit of the Blitz! You need to go about your buisiness in one of those plastic England bowler hats the Sun gives away about now....

Germany next. Let's hope it's not going to pelanties.

These days you get arrested for that type of behaviour! To be fair I saved my worst behaviour for air shows. Even worse than country shows imo. Some old shit heap transport plane limping past time and again while you sit and hope for the red arrows to make an appearance. I think I'd rather stab my eye with a pencil tbh.

Just got back from this and without doubt one of the best value for money days out we've had in a long time. Arrived at 8.30 and just got back at 5 Loads of traditional animal stuff, best of breeds etc, dog display team, horse stunt show, show jumping, coach driving displays. Ferret racing, join in archery, tents and tents of crafts, farmers Market foods stuff. Old car rally with gorgeous pristine cars, camera and motorbikes. A steam rally with steam rollers and loads more engines. Can't really praise this show enough and would reccomend it to you all for next year. We've had such a great time that were even thinking of attending the really big county show in Harrogate, later in the year. Wow No offence, and I'm glad you enjoyed your day out, but without exception that all sounds fucking shit. Whatever floats your boat I guess, but coming from a connoisseur of large greenhouses in Cornwall I assure you no offence taken. To be fair Gemmill's right; country shows are usually shit. Unless you're a farmer or looking to meet a woman who's fatter and lonelier than you are. Or both. I've been dragged along to a few shows in my youth and was without exception bored stupid. Ferrets are shit. Hawks circling above some loser with a leather glove are shit. Tractors and farm equipment are shit. Dogs jumping over stuff are shit. People cutting wood with chainsaws. Motorcycle displays. Showjumping. All shit. People trying to sell you a new type of potato peelers or hedge shears are shit too. And the place is full of animals pushing out shit at an alarming rate which you have to dodge continually cos you don't wear wellies. The only one I ever enjoyed was the Royal Welsh show. And that's because they had a fun fair and some decent stalls so I didn't have to look at the fucking animals and tractors.

Hmmm, I think I'd struggle to come up with a single favourite meal. Maybe a smorgasbord of Mr Creosote proportions: Tom Yum seafood soup Thai Beef Salad Crispy duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce Tandoori chicken Roast lamb with garlic and rosemary, mint sauce and all the trimmings Apple and blackberry pie with custard Selection of cheese One wafer thin mint Drinks: Cold Peroni, a couple bottles of nice red and a few large brandies and maybe a single malt or two to finish. Followed by a fatal heart attack.

I don't like the England football team, nowt to do with England the place, you appear to be kevin squared tbh Our rivals are Argentina, Germany and Portugal etc! You're a shit little country with no significance what-so-ever. There is no rivalry Smell your breath. Examine your small change. You mong. You tight shameless cunt. I'd be embarrassed being from a country where I'm unable to support my local team through pure embarrassment. FoK. Well super supporter. Where are you from? How many games do you go to? You useless cretin. North East England. 12 home games last season. You? Southern Houston, CA. 32 Major League Baseball games last season. We don't have a local soccer team. You cumstain. You my dear little fuckface are a downright liar. In the Bloody Sunday thread you claim to be from Derry. So which one is it then? Bullseye

The problem, bald balls, is you don't think. As has been said, if the troops involved were named now, in order to protect them from reprisals taxpayers would foot a bill in the tens of thousands. To what end? Bang on Mr Fist. They would be straight into the witness protection programme. It wouldn't resolve anything imo.

Difficult to see things ending well for Gazza

The government gives money for booze to alcoholics? It's medication. Surprised they don't get a voucher for Diamond White. Am genuinely gob-smacked. Its not medication, its fucking retarded. It's not their fault, they're victims of society, man. Glad I'm not a British taxpayer, paying for an alcoholic's first bevvy of the day Sounds made up to me like. Probably is but I'd like to think it's true. Imagine going to the pub to fill your prescription!

I used to be partial to a drop of Glenmorangie bought at the duty free. Sadly good whisky is too pricy to buy in NZ, but that's probably better for my health anyway.

Agreed. Surely Birmingham would be a better comparison? Or are the gutter press suggesting that's a bridge to far for us? Hughton quotes Birmingham, Wolves and Stoke as role models. Of course forgetting that as I said Wolves were shit and also that they and Brum spent a good £20m each. Well that's cheered me up
