The Football.....

Love the slow-mo at the beginning of this:



Apparently they didn't close the roof for a cup final in February despite it being -30C and for the opening Euro 2012 game against Greece it was closed when it was +30C and bright sunshine. Now they haven't closed it despite the fact that heavy rainfall was predicted consistently from 3 days beforehand.

Paul, what do you reckon to this interview Torres gave El Pais? Says a lot of nice things about LFC/the city. Reckon he's angling for an unlikely return at some point? Personally I've always liked him and didn't think bad of him for leaving after the farcical goings on at the club.

I'd have him back like a shot.

England's kit is just awful. What happened there? And why is the ref wearing pretty much the same colours? Can anybody explain Ashley Cole's haircut? And why is the England midfield giving the ball away in their own half?

I listened to the radio commentary last night (while frantically casting concrete ahead of the rain) and it was hilarious. Alan Green was having more fun than is good for a chap his size.

Vauxhall are running an advert on the boards at the England game, boasting that their new convertible has a roof that can close in 19 seconds

Rooney!

Rooney!

His 'roof' was closed off last season, right?

still 1-0 up with less than half an hour left. England surviving all kinds of pressure. Defoe has just missed a sitter and been replaced by Welbeck. If it stays like this I can't see us not qualifying for Brazil.

 

[dellzeqq]

Welbeck does brilliantly, passes to Rooney, who misses an open goal. This is torture. If England score another goal they can start taking samba lessons.

 

[User482]

Arse.

Poland score. You can't say they don't deserve it, but this game should have been over five minutes ago. The next 20 minutes are going to be fraught.

You see, the thing I really shouldn't have done when I got in from a little ride was come on this thread before watching the recording! Dumbest thing of the day.

Sheffield United...cheapest team to support in the Football League!

I prefer to call it 'Best value for money', being a Blade.
Altogether now, "Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies?..."

 

[on the road]

I might start watching womens football, they're the cheapest.

Well the olympic spirit has well and truly been extinguished after the shocking scenes with Leeds and Sheffield tonight. When will football supporters ever learn? What a cowardly act to blind side the keeper and smash him in the face.
