    Fuck that, we want france to run away with it. Can't be doing with Ukraine getting back into the frame.

    Right, im off to the boozer. Enjoy the games ladies. If i were you I'de watch the big team play the world cup winners rather than a team of overhyped tubes playing a group of ski-ing instructors. ;)

    Stalls predictions


    Italy 2-1 Scotland
    but want 0-1!


    England to beat Andorra but only scoring two goals.

    We'l see........................

    Oh flower of Scotland!!!!!............... :bigstall:

    if they're taking points off each other, and scotland can take points of all 3 at home you've a better chance of qualifying.

    pylades ought to be pleased - lichenstein are winning latvia. lucky its not latveria or there'd be doombots on the pitch! :soma:

    for england, even through we're 2-0 up looks like it should be 'an-doh!-ra'

    What we need to do is win our three games against faroes, georgia and lithuania, that would put us on 21 points. And then try to take something from France, Italy and Ukraine.

    Pundits think 22 points is the magic number to get second place in this group. A home win against Ukraine would fairly help the cause.......

    What's up with that Healy? He can't get into a team that's bottom of the Championship but at international level he's one of the most prolific strikers in all of Europe! :wtf:
    Well done to N.Ireland, being top of a group that has Sweden, Spain and Denmark is no mean feat. Maybe the FA should appoint Sanchez as the next England boss. :garamet:

    And now rangers want him. Not surprisingly, the fans at Ibrox will regard a Northern Irishman as a hero.

    Im meant to be doing some extra work today....... procrastination has led to the internet and the inspection of the qualification tables.

    If we just forget about the France match completley- and concentrate on our other games-

    Faroes away
    Gergio away
    Lithuania home
    Ukraine home
    Italy home

    Then, the way we have been playing we really dont have much to be scared about! In Italy we were good for a draw if the marking had of been tighter. They didnt destroy us or anything.

    Its very much still game on...... Anyone with Scottish blood, will feel the hairs on the back of their neck rise up if they click this link!

    Colchester are rampant in the Championship.
    They've won three in a row.
    Now only four points out of the play-offs,
    with five matches to play.

    In the Wordforge league, PGT had a huge week,
    but Ecky is still out in front.

    In Europe, Chelsea travels to friendly Valencia;
    while Manchester cordially welcomes their guests from Roma.

    Tomorrow we play Leeds at Layer Road for the first time since February 13, 1971.
    Only this time, nobody will be surprised when we win. :diacanu:
    I'm about to/have just changed my sig. :D

    For fucks sake, what's with these stupid deadlines? Todays is the 2nd one in a row I missed, and I've got a squad full of injured idiots who won't be doing me much good. Stupid Easter games. :mad:

    Heh, I wouldn't be worried about any of the no-hopers currently below me had I taken the narrow opportunity to replace my injured players. :bang:

    i missed the last half hour due to 'life on mars', but what i saw of united was beyond impressive.

    i'm trying to reconcile my deep loathing for the reds fans with the fact they deserve to win everything due to their wonderful football and stunning displays.

    and chelsea still move onwards like a team of borg cubes

    it'd take a collapse of immense proportions to stop the red scousers from getting through... so they'd better be prepare for another face-off with chelsea.

    i'm still seeing a chelsea/united final.
