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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread

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?

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...
