That is my hope. But it's clutching at straws tbh. 131543[/snapback] Agreed. He's made his decision and all we're waiting on now is approval from the FA and the Premier League.

Alledgedly talks broke down with O'Neill over his choice of backroom staff. Does anyone know any different to that? Why would you reject someone over bringing in their own people whom they know and trust? 131522[/snapback] Was that not just some bollocks written in the Chronicle though?? I would hardly take it as gospel.. 131527[/snapback] No, according to the Chronicle we haven't even spoken with O'Neill. Anal's brainwashing work to try and convince us that Roeder has always been first choice.

Alledgedly talks broke down with O'Neill over his choice of backroom staff. Does anyone know any different to that? Why would you reject someone over bringing in their own people whom they know and trust? 131522[/snapback] No I've heard similar. Apparently Little Lord Shearer wasn't in O'Neill's plans and he wasn't keen on agreeing to a role for Roeder at the expense of his own usual team, so that was the end of that.

Am I the victim of a wine buff joke or a semi-on one?

Congratulated by whom and for what reason? By other chairmen for not ruffling any feathers and instead sticking with the caretaker? For ballsing up any discussions with O'Neill so that he was still available for England? For "going English" instead of foreign? They've done absolutely nothing to deserve congratulating, and appointing Roeder as a sham DoF to get round the rules will indeed be farcical. And besides, why comment on it? What a dickhead that fat wobbly knacker is.

I reckon you might be a breastophobe! Or at least have boob OCD. Everything has to be absolutely perfect, symmetrical, not too big, not too small etc. Weird tbh.

Ring UPS man. You'll probably get more sense from them than us.

Sven says he'll take Rooney even if he would only be fit in time to play in the final. Which is MENTAL if you ask me. Full story's on the BBC website. I'd be pretty gutted if I was the striker that gets left at home in place of a lad with a broken foot.

I taped this and watched it last night. I thought it was piss poor. Lineker is an AWFUL interviewer, and Maradona, as good as he is at football, came across as a not particularly nice bloke (no surprises). Anyway the interview was over before you knew it with neither having said anything vaguely interesting.

Crisps, sarnie, diet coke and double decker is MY lunch. AND I was out for a run at Long Sands last week. Am I schizoprenic and posting as SMO without realising it? Is Wacky my other personalities' imaginary dwarf friend?

[borat]I like our new foreign visitors. It's a'niiice.[/borat]

Once again, Shepherd is one step ahead of both us and the Football Authorities. He's had a special Tommy Craig Suit designed for Roeder which will make him look for all the world like the man himself. This will allow Roeder to work in the dugout on match days and still be Glenn Roeder the rest of the time. If UEFA suss this he's going to have Roeder and Craig undergo Face Off style face transplant surgery.

Bit harsh, like. Too much White Zinfandel for you this evening, I reckon. Love all the People by Bill Hicks? I've read that, very enjoyable. I think the issue may be slightly more complex than he makes it out to be. I prefer it when he talks about mushies tbh. 131401[/snapback] Semillon Chardonnay actually. Aye, Love all the People. Good read.

Glad someone brought that up, France doesn't seem to have any of the problems the US has. It's very important how it's handled, though, and to be honest I'd worry about the English government on that front. On a side issue I don't think the US constitution does actually allow firearm ownership. "The right to bear arms" is quoted completely out of context in a section that paraphrased runs - the right to bear arms in the event that a public militia is required - or something. Anyway, RIP, it's a bloody shame, why ever it happened. 131393[/snapback] Aye I've read a bit by Bill Hicks pointing that out as well. You're right though - you need the special combination of a right to bear arms.......and a nation of morons to get what they have in the US.

Awwww, our little Biddy's all grown up these days. Makes you proud!

Pele's revolutionary zig-zag tactics an'all. Better than Mourinho.

Better penalty saver than the Irishman though. That's not even in question.

On Channel 5 now. Get watching! Sly is better than Shay. FACT!

Nah, apparently they have their own place in the competition as winners, and the other qualifying places are unchanged.

Bridget man, the problem with it is that it makes us look even more of an unprofessional shambles than we normally do. Can you imagine signing a young foreign kid and having to explain to him that errrrrr, that bloke called manager errrr isn't really the manager.....that's the other bloke. Yeah him there. Aye, we just call that other bloke manager cos errrrr our Chairman is dead clever and got round the UEFA rules by calling someone manager who isn't really manager. It's just ridiculous.

Finished 1-1. Out of Bolton's hands now. Beat Chelsea and we're in the Intertoto. Cheers boro.

I cannot abide that ugly bastard. I just started writing an email to the sports editor of the Chron but I'm too fucking tired to summon sufficient bile to do the fucking cockwipe justice. I'll do it tomorrow instead if I can be arsed. I don't use the c-word but fuck me, if Alan Oliver isn't the fucking dictionary definition of one.

Bit of quality there from Le Tiss. Juggling it over the hun and wellying a volley that came back off the post for Lee Sharpe to finish. He did the old Three Amigos celebration. Titmus went mental in the crowd - I assume Sharpe's knobbing her these days?

Bastards. Haway man Boro you pack of horrible wankers!

And we're getting done off the hun! The bastards are cheating and only playing two celebs instead of the stipulated four. Typical fucking cheating krauts!
