Slovakia is leading Spain 1-0. Not much else happening in the other matches it seems.

 

Macedonia leads Luxembourg 1-0!

Are we signing Khedira in January? No. There is little bit fee niggle. Madrid want £15m, we have offered £15. Negotiations continue.

 

That can't be correct. If RM wanted 15 Wenger would offer 3.

 

Luxembourg has tied it. This is a nail biter!

 

I just love the use of "little bit" as an adjective for everything on that page... and the statements that always begin with a question and finish with a refusal to clearly answer it... it's exactly how that fellow speaks:giggle:

 

:say: DAYUMMMNNN

 

Yeah, i think even polititicans would get angry with Wenger's refusal to answer questions clearly. :l3:

 

Moldova and Austria are also tied up at one a piece. This is crazy day for football. :jaw:

 

:: it's true

I guess the guy who does the account has written a book in character about Arsenal winning the FA Cup called "Little Bit Silverware"

 

If it weren't for the Nazis, Austria might well have become a big football power... They were cutting edge in the 20s and 30s... If you ever get a chance, you should read about an English manager named Jimmy Hogan who was teaching a sort of pre-historic Total Football meets Tiki-Taka at a time when English thinking was based around running really hard at people for no reason, dribbling a lot and making sure you had more "bottle" than the opposition... England could have easily happened upon the things that the Hungarians and The Dutch later made famous had they simply listened to some of their very own football minds... Jimmy Hogan was one of those minds...

Did I mention that Hogan is an Irish-Catholic's name???:mj:

 

I'm switching over the rugby.

Slice - what do you think of 20 fenchurch street? I erm...dont like it.

​

 

I think it's horrible too, a proper eyesore, especially when you view it from Tower Bridge and see the older buildings in the skyline alongside it. What the fuck were they thinking?

 

Plus it melts cars.

 

I really don't know. It looks like the lovechild of a shoehorn and a portable radio. Apparently it reflects a laser beam of sunshine which is melting shit down on the street too. 'Contextual response fafafafa'. Goering said that when heard the word 'culture' he reached for his revolver, we should all react similarly to 'starchitect', nahmsayin

 

Missed this one. Yeah, just crazy.

 

I work near that building.

 

Anthony Joshua fights tonight. Who wants some of this then.....???

Ireland has shocked the world and scored an early goal against the all-powerful Gibraltar.

 

Up until the 14th minute no player from Gibraltar so much as touched the ball in the Ireland half.

 

Robbie Keane has broken the record for most goals scored in Euro qualifying surpassing Hakan Sukur.

 

In International friendly news Brazil beat Argentina 2-0. Messi missed a penalty.

 

Scortland (brought to you by IRN BRU.....IRN BRU gets you through) get the win. If Deutschland (uber ales) can get a result tonight the tartan army will really start getting their hopes up.

 

I went out to buy eggs at 8 this morning and there was an old geezer walking a border collie down the street in a full length over the shoulder kilt with wooly socks. Not a smart 'im going to a wedding' kilt but a rough and ready rob roy number. In retrospect i'm guessing he we was going to the game but at the time i had no idea what was going on. The end.

 

Apparently drawing, twice, with the Faroes...is STRONG.

What a great start for Northern Ireland. Only six minutes on the clock and defender Gareth McAuley, who earlier appeared to be struggling after being clattered by a Faroe Islands defender, arrives at the back post to convert a corner.
That's the fifth international goal in 49 appearances for the West Brom centre-half.
