British Expats - The Toon Army / EPL thread

Is Collocini really that good...when I've seen Newcastle on TV he didn't look that impressive....who was the guy who got a red card about 2 weeks ago for the blatent elbow to the neck of the opponent (running down the right wing of the attacking team)...now that guy was a thug. The ref had to consult with the linesman for confirmation.

That was against Bolton and Collocini had an all round shocker that day. Normally he's distinctly more competent and although not a world beater he's good enough to have been capped for Argentina. There are worse centre backs in the Prem; Sol effing Campbell springs to mind.

The "big" countries should boycott the World Cup: it's become a vehicle for social engineering according to the vision of FIFA.

The World Cup should be about the game, not the Host.

Looks like there is a "home championship" with Rep Ireland instead of England being held in Dublin. Would it be popular with England as a 6 nations type event with home advantage alternating each year?

An SFA spokesperson said: "We haven't been consulted yet but it is an interesting idea and we would obviously hope to be part of any discussions should the opportunity come along."

My dream is that it will end with them as a mid table side in the Championship with a succession of ex players taking them there as manager.... I also dream of them making it a full 40 years before they win their next title.........but I am biased...:rofl:
