Euro 2012

[Springsteen]

He has every right to think he's too good to sit on the bench, he's had a better season than Stevie Me, certainly better than Lampard, better than Barry, better than Parker (I still can't believe he's in the England squad) and they take Henderson. JORDAN FUCKING HENDERSON! This is the guy who flopped in the team that finished 8th! And he's going to the Euros. Poor Carrick's on a beach somewhere when he should be playing for England. And England's centre midfield options? Gerrard, Henderson, Parker. Yeah, and Carrick still can't get in over those three. The FA are fucking retarded, I hope England go out at the group stage. Because it'd show the FA up and our players would be home earlier. Everyone wins.

except the fans

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah, the same fans who took great delight in burning effigies of and issuing death threats to David Beckham in 98, and abusing Phil Neville in 2000, without looking at the wider issues. The squads as a whole being shit mostly. Easy way out being used. England fans are scum.

 

[porterjack]

Yeah England fans are scum.

some of them maybe

 

[Springsteen]

Yes not all, I know.

Breaking news, and this is big, this could affect Spain's chances of winning.
























Sergio Ramos has had a haircut.

 

[TGLucario475]

I would of wanted Paul Scholes to come back, just for this tournament, instead of Henderson.

why? is it not time to cut some new blood

give these younger players the chance to get some experience - afetr all nobody realisitically expects England to win this

At least the team who finished 8th won a trophy, did Scum Utd manage that?

 

[Springsteen]

You beat a Championship on penalties in a cup final, well done. I'd rather finish second and qualify for the top European competition than win the COC.

But you're pretty irrelevant, and a known racist. So you will no longer be listened to.

qft....

 

[Springsteen]

Paul Scholes's reasons for not coming out international retirement are his own. If he wasn't saying yes to Sven in 2006, and Capello in 2010, he certainly wasn't to Hodgson in 2012. He will have another season with us, that's enough football for him at his age. He would have improved England's midfield, I think everyone can agree to that, but I don't think it's enough to win the Euros.

I sadly have to agree with this, though at the same time a trophy is a trophy.

 

[Springsteen]

I entered the old sweepstake down the pub. You don't actually find out who you get until after the tournament, which I guess works in some way. The winner gets £320 (£160 which everyone put in, and the £160 which the landlady put in), not a bad little earner.

 

[Zorak]

I'll be making my usual top scorer bets.

Dzagoev at 100/1

 

[Springsteen]

I'm going for Michael Krohn Dehli at 150/1. Can't go wrong with a name like that.

In all seriousness I've had £5 on 2 matches to go to penalties (3's), Gomez top scorer/Germany winners £5 on it (12's) and £5 on Germany to concede the least goals £5 (10's).

Good returns if they come off, but it's difficult to call.

 

[TGLucario475]

I'm not gonna call any bets, until the after the group stages.

 

[Springsteen]

Ah but you might get worse odds, speculate to accumulate and all that.

 

[TGLucario475]

Well the last time, two times, I made a vocal bet on the Euro's I was right. 2004 - I said Greee would win, as a joke, and everyone laughed at me. - Who won that one? 2008 - I said Spain would win, though everyone was backing them, and they did win.

 

[Zorak]

Gotta put your money where your mouth is.

Crap strikers often have good Euro's: Baros anyone?

 

[Springsteen]

Georgios Samaras - 200/1 :cool
