    World Cup Squad

    Apparently performed poor in a few games and fell out with Maradonna. Got to remember Argentina have an easy group, with possibly only South Africa in the second round. Get to quarter-finals and anything can happen.

    FIFA World Cup 2010 Thread - 2010

    Everyone has named a preliminary squad. On paper Spain have the best squad. It is ridiculous how good they actually are. Two of the five 'keepers will be cut, but good luck to Del Bosque cutting the other five. Argentina have left out Cambiasso and Zanetti - two of the best players in the...

    I got a job at Primark!

    Primark in Leeds on a Saturday afternoon is a worse place to be than Elland Road. Good luck with that.

    World Cup Squad

    Argentina have a great chance. Solid back four, Mascherano is as good as they get in the holding roll, Jonas adds work-rate on the right, Di Maria has great potential on the left, and with Messi playing off Higuain they will scare every defence shitless. They have Tevez, Milito and Aguero off...

    Gordon Brown resigns

    So the Lib Dems voting Clegg to "keep Cameron out of office" should have done more research, then? I wonder why more hasn't been made out of this story. You'd have thought someone would have dug it up during the election, especially within the Labour camp.

    Dave Tackles The "Beautiful Game".

    We really, really don't. The other right-back choices are Wes Brown - who is injured and shit - and Gary Neville - who no one likes but has actually been in good form for Man United lately. I'm guessing Carragher is the only right back/centre back available. Besides, if Johnson is injured...

    Gordon Brown resigns

    Interesting. Those quotes should have been dug up by someone during the Election campaign. I know many Lib Dem supporters (I'm not one, mind) who are furious with the decision. My anger comes from wanting Labour to stay in power, but if he said that back then, Lib Dem supporters should have seen...

    Official Raw/Smackdown Aftermath, Ratings and Review Thread

    It wasn't as good as last week, but it still felt like must-watch TV, instead of watching out of loyalty. This Raw blew everyone of last year's Raw out the water, but it wasn't a terrific show. Orton's RKO segment wasn't brilliant, but I get they are turning the move into the modern-day...

    Gordon Brown resigns

    Fuckin' Clegg. We always knew it was likely Cameron would get the job, but I had hope when Brown stepped aside. I thought this had to mean the Lib Dems were going to side with Labour, but they turned their backs on those who supported them. If this isn't some master-plan to get the voting...

    World Cup Squad

    Hodgson is a terrific manager and I think he'd do well as England boss after Capello fails this summer. Everyone keeps going on about needing an ex-international who will have the passion like Stuart Pearce, but we're much better off with an experienced man who knows what he's doing. Capello is...

    Rugby League Thread - 2010

    So a couple of weeks ago the news was that Bret Hodgson was leaving the Galpharm and going to Wakey, and now Nathan Brown is standing down at the end of the season. With last year's Challenge Cup Final appearance and the amount of youngsters coming on from the academy, hopes were high in...

    Let’s Talk Football: Goalkeepers

    I have to disagree. Van der Sar is one of the top two 'keepers in the Premier League - along with Shay Given - and is probably United's key player. He is a superb 'keeper and easily one of the best in the world. Schmeichel was immense, but Van der Sar is extremely close to him. He has to be the...

    So, You're The England Manager...

    For a start Joe Hart is the best England goalkeeper by a country mile, but Fabio Capello has said he won't start with him as he lacks experience. He has a good point. Remember Scott Carson against Croatia? He was the form 'keeper and had a 'mare. Due to that I'd go with David James. Rob Green is...

    What was the point of Edge's heel turn?

    It's pretty simple why they did this, and Edge even mentioned why in his promo. The fans didn't buy into his face turn. Everyone was expecting monster pops and sold-out arenas all chanting 'Spear'. Instead, the fans didn't get behind it, the momentum from his return had gone, so what do you do...

    How To Handle Kofi Kingston

    Kofi doesn't need changing at all. He has grown a tad more serious ever since his feud with Randy Orton and that is fine for him. His move to Smackdown is the best thing that could have happened to him. He has the talent to be a Rey Mysterio type attraction, one who the kids are incredibly...
