The rolling Football thread

[BelfastBloke]

There are quite a lot of football fans on MN, and also loads of football-haters. If we hide here in Dadsnet, none of the detractors will find us. But if they do, they are welcome to come here and moan.

You don?t have to be male to post here, of course. (No-one would say women can?t post in the Dadsnet section, just like no woman would EVER say men aren?t welcome on Mumsnet?)

Walcott looking good but achieved nothing at all.

My middle name.

How on god's green earth is this still nil nil?!?!?

If Pirlo was Paul Scholes Italy would be 4-0 up by now.

Steve Gerrard "We did the country proud"
NO YOU DIDN'T

England a quarter-final team. Given the events coming into the tournament, they were fortunate to get that far.

But Roy could take them further in Brazil.

Lawrenson:- "England have players who simply aren't in the game. They?ve not touched the ball for ages."
Not to worry, the Italian keeper didn't touch the ball for ages either.

Where was that guy from the Mars bar advert when England needed him?

Was Rooney playing with weights in his pockets?

The post mortem should be restrained, surely? The England doctor would be saying 'he's doing as well as can be expected, though he is barely out of recus.'

So, KDDDD, back to those fixtures....

Still there's a few youngies coming through and two years time would be good for them. (Jones, Wilshere, Smalling foreg). Though I do wonder if Rooney is going to get any better than this.

I was going to ask about the fixtures and see if was allowed

Soooo..those fixtures, KDDDD??

Right well, Arsenal away first, Totteringham last. And we have signed Carlos Cuellar (eh?)

AVB ? Oh God. save Me. Why Levy, why ?

RvP? He was Arsenal captain, so of course he's leaving. Just following the well-worn script.

OK now to join in this part of the forum.
1,Manchester City
2, Manchester United
3, When i got custody i my son was only 6 and his friends were United fans. So i took him to the City store and kitted him out with shirt, lamp, plate, knife, fork and spoon, duvet, rug........ and let him watch the matches with me on my lap top.
4,Looking forward to the new season.

Alright, singledad? Course you are, you've got all our players.

@Belfastbloke Arsenal fan? Where is the investment? Either Wenger is a scrimper or the board are. What are your hopes for this coming season? And "Hi"

On tank-stirring duties...

I see RvP is being tipped for OT. Well, we could do with a back up striker I suppose.

That bloke who made a cock up in Hampden Park needs a different Korea...

gets out the tank-stirring stick.

It has been one of the sports I have been least interested in. Probably watched more archery than football.

I know it's heretical to say but.....I am finding so many other Olympic sports more.....interesting.

Think we should start a new thread for the season? This one is nearly full.

that would be gud. New season new thread. Though right now my appetite for over-paid, prima donnas is a bit limited after seeing and hearing about Olympic athletes. iyswim.
