This is pure poetry! Powerful stuff.

Aha! Well it was an exceedingly good rebuttal

Sign SteveD! He'd be a worthy addition to the forum

Cheers for that. I suppose he should maybe get some slight bit of credit for engaging in the debate! Still a c*** though.

I'd be interested to see the correspondence if you can be bothered, cheers. I spoke to him myself ten years ago, when I was working as researcher on a football talk show and wanted to sound him out re a possible pundit's role. His response: "I'm not really interested in football, more of a rugby man myself". Came across as pretty po-faced and lacking in elementary social skills. Did enjoy one of the letters to the Observer a few years back after he'd tipped the top 3 in the Premiership two years running. It was from a grateful punter, in haiku form (more or less)... O rare Paul Wilson! Face like a slapped a*** but You paid my mortgage. Made me laugh at the time anyway.

Loving being in third place

Sack Rafa. Sign Erwin Cow Man!

Spot on in my opinion. Steve Maclaren, you are a tool.

This is silly. Agree Stevie would have done a better job, and the team would have been better balanced for it, but Beckham is still a very good footballer - there's so much more to him than a 'marketing machine'. It's utterly mental to think he doesn't merit a place in the squad.

It's certainly kind of funny, but from a football point of view I'd say it's totally unjustified if true - smacks of grandstanding.

Bizarre - press reports suggest Beckham dropped not only from the upcoming squad, but has also been told he won't be picked again. Think what you like about Beckham, but to forcibly retire him is utterly wrong - no-one can cross or hit dead balls like him. He should certainly be in the squad. Bloody Steve Maclaren trying to make his mark, signal a 'clean break' from the Sven era and impress his mates in the press. How pathetic. Might all be tabloid b******s mind...

That's pretty much covered it, except you forgot to say: Steve Maclaren is a life-sapping pillar of mediocrity while "JT" is a moneyed up thug and a total c**t Same old England. They deserve each other.

They are very ugly though aren't they? Those great fat adidas stripes. And that childish font that the names are spelt in... all round pretty horrific. Just my opinion, for what it's worth

Not saying it said anything new, just laughing at a couple of posters saying 'can someone post a link to the article' when it takes 5 seconds to find it yourselves ye lazy f*****s

You'd think none of you lot had access to the internet!

Just had this email from a Leeds supporter at work: "Liverpool have signed one of our best players apparently for 5 million?.Kilgannon?.he?s the.new Woodgate?." No idea if he's talking b******s or not, but he's not the type to make stuff up so he obviously believes it's true.
