gingerjon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Champion from each Confederation plus World Cup holders and World Cup hosts. But, yes, it's a trial run these days for the World Cup to test out how good the Brazilian police are at firing rubber bullets at peaceful protests. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

yanto Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Owen Coyle, Owen Bloody Coyle - I can't speak! Could be worse....Joe Kinnear Footbal Director....poor Toon fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanto Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Holland made eleven changes to their starting line up for the final group game against Spain. Strange very strange...now with the 3-0 defeat they face a decent Italian side in the semi final rather than the easier (on paper) Norwegians. Still take the Dutch to win the tournament but how far behind are we when Holland can field TWO competitive elevens in the tournament and we struggle to get one decent eleven on the park. I know nowt :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Could be worse....Joe Kinnear Footbal Director....poor Toon fans. I can't work that one out, reading the interviews yesterday seemed Kinnear was going out of his way to upset Pardew, perhaps its Ashley looking for a cheap way out of Pardews 8 year deal!

Futtocks Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looking forward to Kinnear's press conference. Why? This is what happened last time. Caution - sweary. Very sweary.

Ullman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Champion from each Confederation plus World Cup holders and World Cup hosts. But, yes, it's a trial run these days for the World Cup to test out how good the Brazilian police are at firing rubber bullets at peaceful protests. They keep the real bullets for when they're off duty. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.

longboard Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Could be worse....Joe Kinnear Footbal Director....poor Toon fans. This all seems a bit strange. Seemingly some comic moments in his latest interview:- http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/18/joe-kinnear-newcastle-united-interview This almost gets into Neasden FC territory.

Futtocks Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 "Better than Messi" Line from the Tahiti twitter feed after they scored the '1' in the 6-1 defeat to Nigeria yesterday. Glad they scored - they really gave it a go and played positive Football, despite being massively outmatched. The crowd were brilliant in their support, too. Tahiti face Spain next...
