Italy vs England

[cloggypop]

Sterling is probably man marking Pirlo

 

[Oncy]

I hope we give a good account of ourselves.
Expectations are low but there is not massive gap in quality between these 4 teams.
Im like a kid at Christmas.
Hope I get something good.

 

[Fox]

Come on Raheem.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Father Christmas is Roy bastarding Hodgson though. That makes me sad.

I reckon we stand a decent chance of doing these fuckers.

 

[the count]

I have a feeling England will win.
I would be happy to see them do it.
If the score in the other game stays the same it will seem like the winners of tonight's game is almost guaranteed to qualify for the last sixteen

 

[FoxForceFive]

I is gonna get more drunk now. Hell yeah.

Come on England. Especially the 4 Liverpool lads that'll be playing!

 

[Whirly]

Yeah, I don't consider Glen Johnson a true Liverpool player either.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hahaha. Some people really seem to dislike him.

He's defo dipped in form majorly, but I don't know that it's due to age or just a long drop that may pick up again.

Fwiw, England have defo got more options so I was surprised he was in the squad.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

I think this is the first time I want England to win. 5 Liverpool players, amazing.

 

[Oncy]

The winner of the next game must fancy beating Uraguay.

 

[Whirly]

Rooney's apparently going to play wide out right.

 

[Oncy]

I predict Rooney will do two bits of fuck all in the game as this isnt a meaningless friendly or a qualifier against Moldova.

Rooney's apparently going to play wide out right.

It's madness playing him full stop, but out right is amazingly stupid.

 

[Whirly]

Nah

He'll score a tap in, and everybody will go on about how amazing he is.

 

[the count]

Our old pal Paletta starts for Italy.
Hodgson made the right call starting Sterling but it should have been at the expense of Rooney, not Lallana

 

[Hansern]

Sturridge and Sterling running at Paletta could be fun

Definitely. He knows if he did that & something went wrong the tabloids would hang him out to dry though. Safety first & foremost.

 

[Oncy]

COME ON BUDGIE!!

 

[cloggypop]

Sturridge and Sterling running at Paletta could be fun

What's he like now? Can't be that bad if he makes the Italian defence.

 

[irishred]

How fortunate have England been? Paletta playing, Buffon injured, Pereira suspended, Suarez half fit. No doubt Balotelli will do something daft.

 

[cloggypop]

 

[Gary25]

No England lover but with 5 Liverpool players in the starting 11 it's gonna make it hard to not cheer them on.

Delighted for Sterling...smash them lad.

Stroking the owl?

Stroking the owl?

You dirty get

Petting the hooter?

 

[cloggypop]

This one is better for Woy. It is an Amazonian Pygmy Owl.

Dude, pygmy is not the preferred nomenclature.

 

[cloggypop]

Midget Owl?

 

[Oncy]

They should probably sing YNWA instead of God save the queen considering.
