This round of 16 has served to depress me. Without overstating the problem, it seems clear that we belong in a second tier group of nations. We were unlucky with our group and just as unlucky with the order in which we played our games - I still maintain that Costa Rica got lucky by playing...

Inspired by this quote: Aint that the truth. Costa Rica, USA and Mexico are ALL better than a middling European team like England. I think we are getting to the point where CONCACAF can be relied upon to regularly produce 2 strong teams every world cup, from their 4.5 spaces. There was some...

It seems to me that a draw against Uruguay might not be a total disaster for England, although it would be for Uruguay. Assuming we draw tomorrow, that would leave us 3rd, level on points with Uruguay but with a better GD. In a nutshell, that would simply mean it is likely that a win over...

England bidding to reach only their second World Cup Hockey Final ever: http://hitsports.net/skysports1.php 4th ranked England playing 3rd ranked Netherlands in the Hague. 15,000 there with the game brought forward so as not to clash with Netherlands v Spain in the SOCCER. 0-0 so far, but the...

As if the "waving imaginary card" wasn't bad enough, this is what he has to say about that appalling penalty decision: "Millions didn't see the penalty? The referee did and he said it was a penalty and they are the ones that must decide. "We also think it was a penalty. I have seen it 10 times...

This is Henry Winter's: #eng v Italy: Hart; Johnson, Cahill, Jags, Baines; Gerrard, Henderson; Sterling Rooney Welbeck; Sturridge I tend to agree. Barkley is probably the only controversial omission from that side, but although he's been good over the past couple of days, I think he's a risk.

Mine is right back where it should be. I'm as excited as every proper trustworthy man should be*, and yet two weeks ago I was decidedly meh about it all. Is your mojo still missing or are you excited? Just think, all those nights of proper football on the telly without getting it in the neck...

I'll be honest - it's taken a while to grip me, but it's taken hold now. I ruddy LOVE the World Cup and probably always will*. So which do you think has been the BEST World Cup since the 70s? I think it has to be one of these: 1970 (Mexico) - arguably the best ever side for it's time (Pele...

PLEASE win the title this week. It would be lovely to see them do it, beating two of the TWATTIEST clubs in world football in the process.

Is he likely to be fit for Sunday? Please tell me he is. I don't blame JFC for his performance, as he's still a kid and did his best, but if he makes way for Stephens then we are going to be so much stronger.

Not very far away at all, now. I know we're in the play-offs etc but nevertheless why am I not very excited? I'm usually lapping it up from here on in. Anyone else feeling like this?

I'm not sure. ??? A "quick" tot up of seats remaining reveal: EU: 315 UL: 350 N: 465 N(U): 225 WL: 410 S: 130 WU: 470 So around 2365 seats still remain. Assuming capacity is set at around 30,500 with minimal seating for segregation, and assuming Derby sell all of theirs, then the gate is...

Simple question. For me it's Derby, deserved it over 90 mins, proper club with big support, I hate Redknapp and moneybags owners who take the piss, and Wigan are due a spell in the doldrums.

MAGNIFICENT effort from Everest on Saturday. We needed a good performance from the lad, and he's come through with flying colours. So what have we learned: 1) The Other Stuff - the perfect location to get some a PRACTICE in. Result, a near perfect match-day thread when it MATTERED 2) Club...

who came on here for a "hilarious" joke saying he'd put £500 on us getting promotion. Not so funny now eh? :cheers:

Who has the job of starting the official match thread? Clearly it needs someone with a tidy record to date, and we simply CANNOT afford mistakes in the title, badges incorrectly sized, officials information missed, or poor quality spelling. Whoever does it, PLEASE get it right. There are TWO...

I thought this was interesting: It has now been confirmed that the Copa America is being played outside South America for the first time (in the US), and will actually feature teams from both Conmebol and Concacaf federations. Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Paraguay Peru...
