July 5, 2006 at 10:35,   Mike Lovell said: If you really want to be pedantic, what's "ur"! ... Again, I think you really need to read the post regarding probability - Although I know it might be tricky to understand darling. If you're still having trouble, I'll try and dumb it down a shade for you sweet heart. Alan, still awaiting your answer! … … And for the record Andrea, perhaps you should go dogging, at least it will keep you away from the message board a bit more.
July 5, 2006 at 08:53,   Rob Lovell said: Well chaps as the top "stato" so far, and a patriot for picking England who fell out of the final 8. Lets hope that France give Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of those portuguese a good slapping. I will treat it as if England won the Cup; to see Ronaldo in tears. I think France are too strong for Portugal. Will be close but wont go to penalties...
July 5, 2006 at 08:52,   andrea garvey said: whats "dogged"? leave ur extra curricular activities out this, its supposed to be about football. hows the view from down there on 54 points anyway?!
July 4, 2006 at 13:25,   Mike Lovell said: You were wrong, just like everyone else here. We all predicted the wrong winner. As for "beat", holding the team with 10 men and then losing on penalties, weak victory, and they had to get our best player sent off to manage it ... Also, you dogged the question earlier, where is your place of birth?
July 4, 2006 at 12:25,   Alan Sutherland said: As I predicted - England beat the first time they played anyone decent. Never mind - I've heard you're definately gonna win the Euro championships.

June 30, 2006 at 10:29,   Mike Lovell said: I think you might just have missed my point there! Geez, what a 'tard.
June 30, 2006 at 08:51,   andrea garvey said: hey Mike, u obviously know nada about footie anyway...youre getting whooped by a girl!!!and to say Mexico are shit? did u watch the mexico v argentina game?!Do you have eyes?!Its all very well being patriotic to England, and i myself, would love nothing more than for us to win,but to slate teams who are good...well that just a bit silly!
June 29, 2006 at 11:56,   Mike Lovell said: {correction! "shit at calling a"}
June 29, 2006 at 11:53,   Mike Lovell said: By truth do you mean that my bullying theory is correct? ... Ivory Coast are absolute pants, as are the Czech Republic and Mexico - As proven by the tournament really, a handful of good players between them and advanced only through complacency of their opposition ... ... Seeing as moving up the league was based on picking a score at random (bar the outcome) I don't think I'll lose any sleep over it! :o) I suppose you'll tell me I'm shit and calling a coin toss next! :o) ... ... And where exactly was your place or birth? (so we can determine how far your own team has gone)
June 29, 2006 at 11:10,   Alan Sutherland said: Well the truth hurts I see. Not true - Holland, Argentina and Ivory Coast all in the same group - they were all tough games. Argentina also played Mexico who are a good side. Italy V Czech Republic to name a few. You sure you're allowed to comment on this message board seeing as your bottom of the league??

June 28, 2006 at 11:07,   Mike Lovell said: Alan, were you bullied as a child? ... I reckon a couple of English guys kicked shit out of you, can't say I blame them ... I don't think any of the big teams have come up against half decent sides yet. The only exception really is the Holland 'v' Portugal game and last nights Spain 'v' France (although Spain aren't up to much internationally). Anything can happen at this stage though, it would be no fun if it all just followed the odds. Eng-er-land
June 28, 2006 at 01:51,   Craig Duncan said: shocking way to go out for Australia, only our self to blame though really, neil shouldn't have dived in and given the ref the chance to make a mistake, as well as not attacking enough when Italy were down to 10 men. Holland very dissapointing. Lets see what Sven can come up with against the Portugese, England owe this lot from Euro's
June 27, 2006 at 12:14,   Alan Sutherland said: The reason England are in the last 8 is because you haven't played anyone half decent yet. You've struggled against p*ss poor teams and I think you'll go out at the 1st hurdle to Portugal. Deco is a big loss for them though. I agree - Van Nistelhorse is an idiot, Van Basten backed him before the tournament and now he won't even play him so that says it all really. Holland were shocking in that game, they came out from the start diving and trying to cheat so they only have themselves to blame - they could've gone far this time too I think.
June 27, 2006 at 11:42,   Mike Lovell said: van Nistelroy only has himself to blame for being on the bench, major attitude problem. Apparently when we heard he was being rested for a match he refused to train. Of course, he won't feel bad about this at all (Holland being knocked out), because he's a c**t :o)... ... How can our squad be "bad", we're in the last 8!!! ... ... How about that Aus game ey, now that's a harsh way to get knocked out.
June 26, 2006 at 21:04,   Jaco van den Heever said: Yeah, Holland was shite, but that's to be expected when you leave van Nistelrooy on the bench a-la-crazy-Fergie style. England's first real test will come against Portugal, but I don't think they will make it past the quarters (again)- bad squad selection by Sven has left him with nothing to choose up front and I just can't see the midfield carrying them all the way to the final.
June 26, 2006 at 11:17,   Mike Lovell said: Mu-ha-ha, Goodbye Holland - This tournament is for the big boys! :o) .... I don't understand how people can say we're shocking when we're in the final 8! That was some good play, the other team never threatened apart from John Terry's early cock-up. I still wouldn't have had Becks on the pitch - Lennon would have created the goals, he's impressed so far. Deco being out is a boost, it won't be an easy game though. If we win the next one I'd be pretty happy with that. Can Aus cause an upset and knock Italy out?
June 26, 2006 at 07:56,   Craig Duncan said: also, Sven's tactics are nothing short of shocking, playing with a lone striker was nothing short of gutless against a team deemed much weaker. Rooner was left isolated and ran him self into the ground due to poor tactics...i cannot see them beating Portugal with that formation
June 26, 2006 at 07:54,   Craig Duncan said: Well, I see Beckham has "answered the critics". I don't really see how he has, seeing as the critics have said all along he is only being used for dead ball situations, nothing has changed there from last nights game... Have to say another poor poor performance from England, but they can surely now only be closer to putting in a good game, and at the right end of the tournament
June 23, 2006 at 15:06,   Mike Lovell said: Well Joe Cole is starting to provide all our chances now. Get Lennon on to replace Beckham, he's getting a bit past it now. Plus he can't beat players or play with the ball at his feet... I want to see us administer a kicking on the weekend - Rooooon going full pace and give little Walcott a go (if it's not past his bedtime), he will tire their defence out.
June 23, 2006 at 09:08,   Alan Sutherland said: Craig, whoever wrote that article is clueless. He was at fault for the first goal against Sweden and was luck they didn't score 2 more off corners when he was caught dreaming. His distribution has been shocking and isn't getting involved in the game at all. England are carrying him on the chance he might put a good cross in. His ratio on them is about 20:1 at the moment.
June 23, 2006 at 05:47,   Craig Duncan said: Al, I was reading an article the other day that mentioned Beckham as the stand out player for england, as he has teed up all their goals...I tend to agree with you that he shouldn't be in the team though
June 23, 2006 at 05:45,   Craig Duncan said: that was on the edge of the seat stuff, had to visit the toilet a couple of times...and Harry Cool, welll well well, lucky he scored the offside goal as he missed a sitter :-) Big Kalac was brought in as he is 7ft tall, no good when you can't goalkeep, what an absolute muppet!
June 23, 2006 at 00:48,   Mike Lovell said: Hey Craig, now you know what it's like to be an England supporter. That game was classic "shit your pants" stuff! And that goal keeping error was straight out of David James masterclass! :o) This is exactly the same kind of feeling we get every match! :o) ..... Still, I knew Aus would get through to the last 16, at least one of us kept the faith! :o)
June 22, 2006 at 10:27,   Mike Lovell said: Nah, I'd never big myself up to much, could lead to disappointment true...... So anyway, after we win the World Cup !!! .... What's all this pinch a point cobblers as well, are you just in it to make up the numbers! Get in there and stuff the Croats! ...... Go Aus!* ........ *Excluding Kewell, other terms and conditions apply
June 22, 2006 at 06:09,   Craig Duncan said: Spike, all I see here is wishful thinking. don't build yourself up so much, you will only be left feeling bitter and dissapointed...I can see if now..."That Delgado is some player, three cheers for Delgado"!! As for us Aussies, well, lets see if we can pinch a point against the Croats, it could be time to pack the bag and send the boys home, not feeling too confident.
June 21, 2006 at 10:59,   Mike Lovell said: I'm glad that you think England is the best team in the world - Your expectations of them suggest that's your opinion. I'm touched! :o) I'm with you Alan, Go ENG-ER-LAND (if I interpreted your comment correctly!) he-he :o) ..... Dodgy defending the set pieces, but that just means we'll be very hot on them for the rest of tournament. When you know that you don’t need to win then there’s no way you play as hard as if it’s knock out, human nature. Absolutely dominated on the attack though and broke the Swedish into tiny pieces, I don't think they ever really threatened from anything other than dead-balls. And Joe Cole, amazing, greatest World Cup goal ever! I was nursing a "semi" when that went in!!! And did the see the way Rooney handled that ball from Beckham, the boy is class! Top of the world!!!! ENG-ER-LAND! I wouldn’t call Sweden average; anyone that qualifies for the last 16 must be good on the pitch… Anyone can cause an upset, look at the shit time France are having.
June 21, 2006 at 08:56,   Alan Sutherland said: england ended up struggling to a draw last night against a very average sweden side, played very well in the first half but second half Sweden were by far the better side. David Beckham - worst player on the pitch, had an absolute shocker!!! how long is he gonna live of past performances and his "status". Lucky in the end to avoid the germans because playing like that they would probably beat you quite convincingly.
June 21, 2006 at 05:01,   Craig Duncan said: well, a lucky escape against the swedes, seem to be a team you guys strglle with historically. Avoided the Germans though, so that's a good thing I spose.
June 20, 2006 at 14:54,   Mike Lovell said: Time to dispatch Germany next. Don't care much about Sweden, win or lose, we're through. However if they lose and T&T win they could be knocked out! ............ 1-0 Down ... 5-1 Up ... Two World Wars, and one World Cup, ... With a knick-nack paddy-wack, give a dog a bone, ... All you Germans FUCK OFF HOME!
June 20, 2006 at 02:34,   Craig Duncan said: the more english in the grounds for the Ashes the better I reckon.
June 19, 2006 at 18:23,   Mike Lovell said: http://www.chaser.com.au/ index.php?option=com_cont ent&task=view&id= 3172&Itemid=26
June 19, 2006 at 04:22,   Craig Duncan said: Well, that would be right, got a few predictions right on this thing, but every tme I place a bet at the bookies it is miles off :-) Australia I thought to tad unlucky against the Brazillians, damn you Kewell, missed the easiest chance of the tournament :-)
June 16, 2006 at 23:15,   Billy Pryor said: Lennon needs to play more because he opened up the game against T&T.Also, sit Owen and let Rooney take control. I really don't care who starts as long as England get the one or three points needed for first place in the group. Up the Lions!!!!!!
June 16, 2006 at 09:52,   Mike Lovell said: (hear)
June 16, 2006 at 09:52,   Mike Lovell said: I knew you'd get the reference mate, Tonka up front, I'm for that! I found the soundtrack on ebay for £3 ... "It's on the head, SON!" Oh, and you think it's clever, shouting, swearing? If you've got something constructive to say lets here it! ......................... ......................... ......................... ......................... ................. FUCK OFFFFFF!!!!
June 16, 2006 at 09:48,   Mike Lovell said: That was total domination there. Crouch was missing all the chances though, he should have got 3 that game but he's trying to be a bit too fancy. ::: Get the spud faced assassin back into play and we'll start putting all those chances in. ::: Considering we've only just got our best player back I think that went quite well. Just as you'd expect Brazil to play worse without Ronaldinho as play-maker. ::: Anyway, woo-hoo, we’re in the last 16! ::: I'd rather play ok and win, than play great and lose
June 16, 2006 at 08:30,   andrea garvey said: no, england were not shite, we've just got a puff of a manager who is too scared to take risks. something needs to be done about gerrard and lampard because they are both being stiffled at the moment cos of his shit formations.be a man sven, have some balls and change the formation!! lennon was a breath of fresh air and thats how we should play it, with 2 proper wingers so the g-man and lamps can push forward more. not the best game, but hey, we won!!
June 16, 2006 at 01:40,   Craig Duncan said: Well, england were shit-ah!need some improvment if they want to progress past the next round. Spike, the reference is obviously from Mike Bassett England Manager, and referring to the Mexico game with thye magical "Ramirez", class movie, in fact the best england side yet in that game! :-) maybe they should roll out thommo and the rest of the lads for the real side.
June 15, 2006 at 14:08,   Big Phil said: Seems to me you are "banterer" numero uno looking at the list below...not surpising perhaps, you do talk a LOT of shit. :-)
June 15, 2006 at 13:34,   Mike Lovell said: Ooo, you left it wide open for some banter there mate... I can't resist... Don't worry about keeping your eyes closed, I do the same when I'm "filling in" your mama!
June 15, 2006 at 12:41,   Big Phil said: Sorry for joining the banter so late...i feel like the party's started last week and i only just received my invitation - bit like England's form so far! Also can't believe i'm bottom of the pile, slightly embarassing, but serves me right for closing my eyes when i filled in the form I guess.
June 15, 2006 at 12:19,   Mike Lovell said: (p.p.s Wiping Rooney's arse is probably a two man job anyway, Ronaldin-"ho" can help)
June 15, 2006 at 12:08,   Mike Lovell said: (p.s. Ronaldo was a fat, pie eating, buck toothed, non-league sub! - He's not fit to wipe Rooney's arse)
June 15, 2006 at 12:03,   Mike Lovell said: Well in my mind, if Kewell scores, it won't count :o) I'm supporting the other 10 Aussie players ONLY! :o) ::: Watch out for his traditional "we're losing, fake an injury so it looks like I'm blameless" trick. :o) ::: T&T in a few hours, if they bottle this piss easy match I'm going to kick my TV in and personally burn down the F.A! Get Owen off for a start, he's playing like a pudding ::: "If that Yorke doesn't win player of the tournament there's no justice, hey, three cheers for Trinidad and Tobago" (Anyone get the reference :o) )
June 15, 2006 at 05:58,   Craig Duncan said: also Spike, nothiong wrong with booing Kewell, I will be too, but if he scores for us then I spose I will tolerate his softness :-) There must be better youngsters to blood then Stuart Downing... Spain were pretty good last night, will they do the usual choke when it gets serious though?
June 15, 2006 at 01:50,   Craig Duncan said: Germany with their usual lucky cheese. What did everyone make of Ronaldo's efforts against the croats, I thought it was a disgrace myself,he needs to be dropped. The croats def unlucky, deserved draw at least. Polish will be spewing, bad luck Stef. Good to see a couple of Adelaide boys topping the table early on in the competition
June 14, 2006 at 17:53,   Alan Sutherland said: Germany V Poland tonight, should be a good one. Poland apparently are leaving the ground straight after the game, no showers for them.
