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.

Re: Euro 2012
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?Bruce Rioja wrote:Tango - surely you recognise that if it wasn't for said magnificent defending (and John Terry has been immense) then this would be out of sight by now?! 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?

Eh?TANGODANCER wrote: No need for the sarcasm.
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?

May the bridges I burn light your way

Re: Euro 2012
Well, if we lose on penalties it'd be a just result, overall.
If we win, woo-hoo.
If we win, woo-hoo.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Euro 2012
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.Bruce Rioja wrote:Eh?TANGODANCER wrote: No need for the sarcasm.

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.bobo the clown wrote:Well, if we lose on penalties it'd be a just result, overall.

Re: Euro 2012
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.

Re: Euro 2012
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.Armchair Wanderer wrote: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!

Re: Euro 2012
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.
