:Lok: I've been listening to Talksport alot recently. I love it now, especially the late night show with Andy Goldstein and Ray Parlour. Hilarious at times too.
Parlour's wife took all his stuff and Goldstein is that plank off Soccer Gay M. :: I'll be giving that a miss so. Also, why does Parlour always look like he just came off a 10 hour bender??
Soccer am has lost its appeal, ALOT, but is still reasonably funny. Parlour must have that sort of complexion.
Helen Chamberlain? Yeah, she's still presenting it, with the drip Max Rushden :limp: Chamberlain would get it from me though :hump:
She's done well for herself, like most people in TV, not much of a talent but plenty of "drive".......a bit of an Erin Cockovitch I'll say ::
:: I just read both stories. Love this thread, means we can kill all sorts of birds with the one stone. As for Twitchy- I'm glad he was cleared, he's probably guilty but WTF...there are billions flying around, and not just in football....and they are coming down on a semi-literate spiv on account of a few hundred thousand? Please. Fury doesn't want it. Why is he vacating? If he tried, and failed, to make the fight, then he would be still the champ. He knows, or more pertinently, Fatty Hennessy knows, that once the BBBofC get to looking at things, that Price was going to fight Fury sooner rather than later. I do wonder where Fury goes from this. He's got a bad manager, he's got bad habits and doesn't appear ready to shed either. Its a pity- he has been well matched from a young age and has always performed, one way or the other, and dug out results, against decent opposition, relative to his age, pro and amateur experience and how soon he has fought them. But as I said already, his career is going down the pisser in a haze of club-milks, club-sodas, club-oranges and night-clubs.
I just dont think the English blend well as a unit. I hardly see any understanding amongst them and at the World Cup, it looed like they didnt wanna be there. Based on that, a new manager is a good shake up for the team. I wouldnt be shocked if Mourinho was to take the job, though its unlikely with Euro 2012 upon us.
He was right. The sub-text here was obvious. Not only is he expected to be a puppet on a string so guys like Bernstein and Triesman can play out their same stupid games, but he was supposed to be the puppet who took the blame when the same jaded, shite, disinterested guys turned up and put in a half-a-shift in the Euro's. He did the right thing. All this bullshit about how a guy who has worked all over the place "doesnt understand England"...:shit: ....he understands shite when he see's it. I think he did the right thing.
Mourinho doesn't take jobs where he isn't the gaffer. Neither does Steve Staunton, mind you. :nono: No way Maureen is going to want that gig. He picks the team. He picks the captain. The way Capello is being portrayed as some sort of an out-of-touch relic, not sensitive enough to the "sensibilities" of these "important issues", is pathetic. It reminds me of when these cretinous poisoned-pen toads were running around talking about Remembrance Day and the Poppy and most of the same bastards think Siegfried Sassoon plays for Borussia Dortmund and that Wilfred Owen is Michaels dad.
England are years behind the rest of the world in terms of technical ability. The game has moved on. Capello did the best he could, as awful as the current crop are, they may well have reached the semi finals of WC2010 if Donovan hadn't scored that last minute winner against Algeria. There isn't anybody I could see doing a better job with that shower of shit.
His qualification record is pristine. Its unlikely England will ever qualify for two back-to-back tournaments with a greater degree of ease. They really did stroll into both, despite Rooney doing his best to ruin it all in Macedonia {that was another scam, Capello being told to walk him to Nyon to ask for clemency}. Tournaments are like the historic battles you read about in history books or the like, or like the 100m sprint, a lot of preparation and effort comes down to a very very short period of time. Two weeks is not a lot over 4 years. 3 games is nothing in 4 years. Often, the best-rested team does better. Rooney was fat and tired in South Africa, the result of another brutal season of painkillers, marital issues, running through the pain for Sir Alex etc. How is any manager supposed to deal with issues like this?
Wow, surprising news. Smart career move by Capello, Jock Stein himself couldn't get that squad past the quarter finals.
Hearts 0-4 Celtic :Thumbs: Stuart Pearce was at the game. The Hearts boss was fuming at the officials.
I should mention, tonight was easily one of the best 3 experiences Ive had in 20 years of going to games. Doing a conga line up and down their shitey wee stand at 4-0 up while they spat venom, remonstrated with coppers to do something & trudged towards the exits in equal numbers. Coppers taking union jacks off their fans!! :atu: Then the huddle to rub it in. And a chorus of Viva la Quinta brigada in the second half to cement our magnificence. THE CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB:bow:

Barry Fry is a fucking idiot, always has been. Still though, I hope Redknapp gets the job, just so I can have a good laugh when he fails miserably
Fry is a tool. He speaks first, then thinks. I saw him in person one day (I forget where). He's tiny and fat.
Irish is gonna hate me forever but getting Redknapp in for the Championships sounds like a plan to me
:: Getting Redknapp in is perfect, he leaves Spurs in pristine shape, Champions of Europe, 12 points clear at the top of the league, and in the final of the Carling Cup, and when he fails with England, well, Capello's landed him in it at short notice, innit?? Never gave him a chance, innit? Too much to do on short notice, innit??? I am sat here having a good larf at some of these people...why do they all seem to be so remedial? If Bernstein is a Jew, he is the stupidest most downer Jew I have ever seen. He must have been the pischer of the family. I can just see Avvy Bernstein going around saying "Who do we know will give David a job, Herschel....go and make inquiries, there must be somebody will give him a stipend" How fucking thick are these people??? Gordon Taylor, Horne, Bernstein, they all seem to be at least 3 chromosomes off the pace. They suspend habeas corpus, effectively, they throw the wog out and insist, in the name of fair play and anti-racism, that he be replaced with only an Englishman. All the chums are sat there sniggering through this as a guy who only 2 days ago was charged with a crime far more serious than Terry's, is touted for the job.
Tottenham Hotspur Manager Fabio Capello Convicted Of Tax Evasion. Redknapp (pictured with wife, Louise) became England manager after guiding Southampton to three Premiership titles TOTTENHAM Hotspur manager Fabio Capello has been convicted of tax evasion relating to payments made when he was manager of Portsmouth FC. The Italian, who was jailed for four years at Southwark Crown Court today, seemed bewildered by the verdict and even confused about where he was. Capello, who won domestic titles with Milan, Roma, Juventus and Real Madrid before moving to the lower leagues of English football, shouted: “This isn't me! I don't know how he's done this, but this isn't me!" before being led away. It is believed the verdict may have left the Italian temporarily deranged. Earlier he pleaded with the judge and insisted he was manager of the England national side and had never even been to Portsmouth. England's manager Harry Redknapp, who yesterday won a battle of his own after the FA reinstated John Terry as captain, said: "I'm sad to see Fabio go down but you just can't trust foreigners. "He had form with match-fixing at Juventus so I wasn't surprised to hear he'd been a naughty boy with his tax returns. You wouldn't want a slimy character like that in charge of your national side. No, you want a trustworthy, reliable red-blooded Englishman like 'Arry 'ere." Redknapp, who yesterday appeared at a charity event with pop star wife Louise, has led England from strength to strength since succeeding Steve McClaren as manager and the team are now odds-on to win this summer's European Championship. Nicknamed 'Nostradamus' for his uncanny ability to predict how opponents will play, and even sometimes exactly when goals will be scored, England fans have credited him with supernatural powers - a claim he dismisses as 'bonkers'. Meanwhile, he has amassed a personal fortune of more than £800m thanks to a series of shrewd stock market investments which he declares rigorously to the Inland Revenue. He added: "There's no big secret to what I do. It's just thinking ahead and a little bit of luck. To do the things everyone says I can I'd have to have invented a time machine."
He should be. The only loser in Redknapp being appointed England manager is Redknapp. He should stay put. He's probably too nice a person to turn it down. Oh my God. Its like Willie and Missus kissing on the balcony all over again. Get the Lancasters. Get the Spitfires. Lets get fired up for Operation Barbarossknap. The Ukraine needs educating. Harry need only kick in the Group Stages and the entire Rotten Tournament will come crashing down. Army Group Gerrard to Moscow, Army Group Lampard to the Caucaus, send in the SS John Terry to take care of the minorities. HAIL HARRY!!!
