Everyone's a winner this way, though...

What got Carragher booked was the hard-working Man. Utd. midfield of moaners who tirelessly harangued the ref for the whole ninety minutes. A cracking, energetic display of petulence. Carra was almost laughing at them, did you see him count them, "what, las, there's one, two, three of yers... pathetic".

Start ye me not on Carr.

Amazing the way you can throw yourself around more when you're actually fit.

But there aren't any outstanding players who qualify, which makes a mockery of the abuse Brian Kerr got for 'not using' the loophole. It's not as if anybody of greater talent than what was in the squad already was rejected by Kerr for not being born within an ass's bawl of Dalymount.

He should ask Clive Woodward how best to go about it... probably.

Not for the same reasons, but yes. Unless they're playing England.

Ahh, the memories. Love to be going myself.

He's always complimenting Liverpool's achievements coming up to a match these days. And he was at a do at Anfield to honour Bob Paisley, for feck's sake, he's hardly going to dust off some Dalglish-era invective.

Ah, it sounds Irish now... (it would be a "Mac" anyway)

Ah crap. So Paletta's s*** then? Feck it.

It was sinful that players of his undeniable quality were being shunned, and they beating down the doors of the FAI for decades, just wanting to fulfil their dream of playing for their country, from the earliest level. Won't somebody please think of Stan's children...?

1. Sissoko 2. Kewell 3. Alonso

He messes around with the left side combo, it's not just that he thinks "Riise > Warnock > Traoré... Hmmm... Arsenal to-night... I'll use the... second-best left back". Who plays in front of the left back has as much to do with the performance of the left back as the name on the sheet. And all is dictated by the game he wants to play and the groove he wants to lay, yeah? No-one can save Traoré, obviously, having said that...

Sums up my confusion over poor old Momo perfectly...

How dare you abuse Steven Staunton's children by suggesting Alex Bruce shouldn't be allowed to pick whatever country he likes. How dare you!

Disco! Warm cockles all round.
