No beef at fresh legs coming on. Just don't think Henderson's very good.
You may be right, but I'd ask you as to upon what have you based your opinion, Sir? If it's this regularly trotted out 'he's-hardly-played -for-Liverpool' then I put it to you that your opinion is based on nowt as you haven't seen enough of him to know one way or t'other!
Not done much so far! :-)

We were discussing who we could bring on in centre mid on Tuesday as a fresh pair of legs. No one could remember who we had there on the subs bench.

Please share with us how you'd flick some or other switch that transforms and under-the-cosh side into one of attacking prowess, and how come you've been overlooked for the England job for so long? :conf:
No need for the sarcasm. It's the need to be constantly under the cosh that bothers me, because we've hardly impressed up front, have we?

Buffon isn't very, very sneaky though (I don't think)

Eh?

You said - I'm so weary of hearing abou "magnificent defending". Let's have a bit of magnificent atacking.

I'm asking, quite simply, how you think we can transfer from one set of circumstances to their polar opposite with immediate effect, which is exactly what you're suggesting? :conf:

Well, if we lose on penalties it'd be a just result, overall.

If we win, woo-hoo.

It's either that or a right royal rogering from Germany.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. I didn't say it wasn't magnificent defending, it was, but our attacking all game has been a bit er , lacking. I don't remember mentioning immediate effect any where.

At least we won't get shagged by the Krauts. This game could have been 7-0. I can't imagine how the Hun would have dealt with us.

Probably for the best. Germany might have got ten.

What does Ashley Young do apart from fall over? In that ad he does he would have fallen over if it was fo' real. Scoring from a volley my arse! He was never gonna score a penalty. BTW, can't stand Man Utd or Ashley Young.

Congrats Italy.
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

A point I was about to make. He dives so well he may as well have gone in goal. He was "outed" for it last season & since then has shown to be no more than a piece of shite. He certainly isn't a footballer.

Of course, here come all the texts off City fans about how much of a "legend" Balotelli is. Worst use of that term I think Ive ever seen.
