It's taken you eleven hours to come up with THAT???

I imagine he had to sleep on it.

Has anyone else seen the Fiat van advert? Apparently it's in today's Sun, and doubtless elsewhere, but I saw it at http://www.nufc.com
I know you might think I'm biased, speaking as a Geordie, but I don't find it remotely funny. What does anyone else think (and can anyone find a link to it so they can post it in the thread)?

Well it was very difficult for him. He had to run it by the family to see if it worked .

@ the fiat advert

it's not in today's sun btw.

[duke o' york]

Somehow I knew you'd find it funny.

Shocking display by England tonight, system or no system England are better than that.

If we must play that formation the midfield runner needs to get forward quicker than he has been.

The big question is can Phillips, Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard play in the same side with the system it imposes screwing up the rest of the team?

[Cort Haus]

That formation sucks. Bring back 4-4-2.

Good support from the NI fans. It was wierd to see Union Jacks being waved by the opposition.

So will the FA have Sven's head on a plate tomorrow? I think they'll keep him at least through the qualifiers. As for us, all I have to say is Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

[Maquiladora]

It reminds me of champ manager, sometimes you go for a radical formation, one player always comes out shining because it creates a hole, but the rest are absolute toss, creatively.

It gave Beckham plenty of time to make some great passes, but its all for nothing if theres no midfielders forward in the middle and only Owen in the box when it gets there.

Most everyone was asked to do something they dont do for their club, it was a ****ing wreck.

Yeah, Croatia missed out there. (Like S. Africa and Kevin Pieterson in Cricket. )

[Zulu Elephant]

I can't see Sven being sacked with only two games to go before the World cup (although my dad thinks he might walk out this week)

Shocking performance. England started off playing like they were owed a win rather than having to work for it. Second half they acted like they'd never played together before. Sven looked completely dumbfounded.

Absolutely dire.

[reds4ever]

He won't be sacked, at the end of the day we are going to qualify and England isn't too imbued with mangers with the type of experience you need to manage players at that level (my guess is that an English manager won't finish in the top 6 of the EPL this season).

I think were stuck with him until after Germany....as Ian Wright said I just wish the guy was more animated/charismatic, it's like he's a neutral observer...

HAW HAW..

Though congrats to Northern Ireland. 2 straight wins after going 4 years without a win .
