Gareth Southgate has the right idea and I think he'd be a good man for the job.

Yohan Kebab, there must be a good photoshop of that somewhere

I saw this earlier but didn't think it was worthy...

Villas-Boas turns down Paris Saint-Germain to stay at Tottenham

Good man.

 

[Raven]

Some good games in the first couple of weeks of the season!

Maureen to be fired after game 2??

West Ham v Cardiff. Isn't there a bit of a history of trouble there?

FA Cup will return to being the last game of the season, no competing with Prem/before Prem finish.

Finally some sense.

LOL how can the referee give Italy a penalty for that. shocking decision..

Higuain rumours appear to be gathering pace for Arsenal.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It does seem that way. Appears Juventus have dropped out of the race.

Please make it so!

If Robin van Persie didn’t score the “Goal of the Century,” who did???

Zidane for pure technique. Bergkamp for unrivalled creativity.

Speaking of which, 18 years to the day we signed Bergkamp. I'm officially old.

Gascoigne against Scotland in Euro 96.

Gascoigne against Scotland in Euro 96.

You don't seem to understand what century we're actually living in and talking about.

Bit early to be saying goal of this century, no? Seeing as we are only 13% through it.

No.

Personally I thought that Papise Cisse one against Chelsea was one of the best, certainly most audacious, goals I've ever seen, but the Messi one where he takes on the entire field is still the best of the current century; pure Maradona, although I suppose you could argue it was "only" against Getafe. I do wonder if people are going to look back at Messi and Ronaldo's careers in 20 years time and immediately discount them because Spain is such a comedy league outside the big two teams.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Cisse's goal is spectacular and great.

But let's be honest, it's a hit and hope. It shouldn't be on that list.

Didn't he do another one, quite similar to it, the week before? I seem to remember that.

 

[Raven]

He certainly did, won me £250 that goal.

He hit another screamer but it was nothing like that shot at all.

Torres 4 goals against Tahiti - finally found his level.

 

[Overdriven]

Man, I was hoping Tahiti would score

 

[Shagrat]

Tahiti are ace

 

[megadave]

Mikel scored a goal, must be the apocalypse

 

[Vladamir]

He'll get a new 5 year contract for that, Chelsea logic.

 

[Himse]

He won't, he's already said he wants to leave and join Drogba at Galatasaray.

Also thought Tahiti were quality last night, trying to attack rather than just defending defending defending.

They almost caught Spain a couple of times, they just lacked the pace. to still get 37% possession as a side like that against Spain is actually quality, we'll forget they only had 1 shot, 1 on target
