World Cup 2010

[Kowalski]

Doesn't mean the hope isn't warranted.

Why would you emigrate? Don't you live in the land where everyone hates England because we raped your sheep 900 years ago? Surely you'll be in good company? Ask ampers for a spare Algeria top. He's got loads from the back of a van, apparently. He did his back in carrying all the boxes. Karma is a bitch sometimes.

[Langdale Wolf]

We're still getting 1966 rammed down our throats on the news last night, god knows what it would be like being around if you did win it.

Scottish girls doing a fantasy football competition.......

Is it okay if I ask my 1-year old to enter as well? He'd have a good chance against such stiff competition.

[Cardboard Box City]

It's quite interesting how many supposed 'experts' of the game - current pros, ex-pros, journalists - both English and non-English - are saying we should do quite well this summer.

Yep, they always say that .... and we never do as well as they reckon.

Strange that eh?

So there you have it. Sven's team.

Any reason why it won't be Sven's results?

God, please don't start with J.Cole, James & Crouch!

It's bleeding obvious that that's the plan.

So we'll be thankful for getting a draw at the end of 90 minutes.

And then HUGE nerves against Algeria.

And then the plane home.

double or quits neil?

put your money where your mouth is. i will put your money where my mouth is!!

we will be in the last 16. no doubt about it!!

I'm not saying that will be how things pan out.

I'm saying it's easily possible. More possible than your guarantee of getting out of the groups, that's for sure.

Seeing as you're giving those guarantees, I've sussed you as being Rafa, and I claim my five pounds.

[eFestivals]

Bloody hell - you don't give up, do you?!

and you're another Rafa, giving your bollox guarantees.
