Happy slapping is completely stupid and moronic behaviour, yet so many idiots find it hilarious to watch their mate slap somebody they don't know, unprovoked.

Great, this means Souness will make a statement whining about stupid qualifiers, and he'll say something on the lines of Turkey not going to qualify and Ukraine already have, so it's pointless.

Hope he's ok and is found very soon. Sorry to hear about this.

It would be great if they qualify for the World Cup, even if a lot of Scots don't care for English football in the World Cup... so selfish. I'd just hope Italy's late goal doesn't prove costly.

I'm sure Martyn is clearly the better player, but he is getting old, and Bell is only young, so he has a long way to go. However Martyn has been unlucky more than once due to dodgy umpire decisions. Despite this I am still not in favour of video technology. Imaganing it sounds silly - like every time there's an appeal you have to look at the screen to see the red zone - very intimidating for the batsman.

Well a good anyalysis chip2388, but you made a mistake with the Bell and Martyn analysis - Bell has scored two fifties, and Martyn also scored a fifty in the first test. Also Pietersen hasn't seems to have faded as the series has moved on, but still a great record for a first series, particularly against Australia. Not sure about the catching though... but he proved he can catch by taking quite a few in the ODIs. Tremlett hasn't been picked most likely because he's not been bowling well for Hampshire, an example being in the C&G final. Tbh I never rated him anyway - just seems like a freakishly tall Harmison-esque bowler, just not as good.

We could end up snatching a lot of their players who are of a high standard, but can't get into the team. Oh yeah, there was Babyaro too.

Feta and mozeralle are great, oh and the ol' cheddar is nice enough.

Australia only have four bowlers, as would we with the addition of Collingwood. I'm not convinced his medium-pacers will be very successful in the test matches, but I think he'll be very useful with the bat, adding depth to it. He'd slot in I assume at 6, or 5 if Pietersen and Flintoff are to bat together. He's also very skilled in the field, which may be a factor in swaying the selectors' decision.

He plays all over the pitch actually, that's why he is so influencial and a fantastic player.

I reckon Spurs will offer him about 6 miilion, before Freddy comes along with a 12 million bid, just to make sure Spurs don't sign him, even though they would hardly raise their bid anyway... perhaps. He'd be a good signing, and his hopes certainly aren't failing, judging by the number of left(/right)-backs we have.

Just links back here tbh, or is that the point? 28872[/snapback] Yeah... and well of course it isn't shit. I quite like the place to be honest, just the place doesn't like me...

Nah man it's balls. One of the challenges of cricket is picking a balenced side. The subs rule is the first step on a slippery slope towards seperate bowling and batting teams. 28844[/snapback] It's also a risk. You could pick a batmsan as your sub, intending to bowl first, but you end up losing the toss and bat second, making it a bit pointless.

Yeah, didn't take me too long to make though, and is always updated. Anyway, as you want it hosted ther'll be limits to what you can do. I've done one on www.freewebs.com but I am sure there's better.

It's shocking he can achieve that while running. Beckham must have pushed him as he tackled him, which he must have taken the wrong way.

Right, cheers. It's not EA though, so it doesn't have the licence of all the teams, with all the players though.

I think England play some of the ugliest football around.

Questions for a clueless idiot like me... Is there a certain time Tevez becomes good? Because I bought him at the beginning, and though his value always goes up he doesn't play partcularly well and doesn;t score enough... why'd this be? And also, why is the German team all fake? I heard I had to delete a file called "Fake", which I did but it still isn't changed.

Yeah, I don't know he reliable it is either, considering they happen to know the exact date they'll be fit again.

Yeah, he had a good debut. Then he was crap aftwerwards, but nah I don't really care about him tbh. He can go enjoy his spell and play well at Brimingham, and I'll be quite frankly happy when he doesn't return and decides to stay on a permanent basis.

© = ( C ) without the spaces seemed to do the trick for me.

Nah, Pearce is inexperienced and only proven at Man City, which is a far lower level to be fair. But I can see him being a great England manager in years to come.

Nah. Why would we want to do that 27658[/snapback] Just a thought. Souness would be very proud of his "proper players" he buys, because they're foreign and have represented their national side.

Because Jenas is more "experienced" at international level. I'd have thought by now he's realised he's been crap for England, but still too scared to make changes...
