Give it another year or so and Chaddy will officially be a Z list celebrity with enough fame to justify being on a low quality reality tv show.

Admittedly only YouTube vids but after watching Nmecha I was fairly impressed. He looks like he's got a lot of strength as well as a bit of pace. Players need that strength when dropping down a level. A lack of it is usually where a lot of talented young players come unstuck or take a long time to settle.

He'll probs pull a hammy

Henderson definitely passes forwards

.

Woosh

You don't half chat some rubbish Chaddy. The world cup has been superb. Having not watched the games you're in no position to formulate this opinion

A fella I watched the game with had a stopwatch on him. In the second half the ball was only in play for 25 minutes and 52 seconds. Makes no sense to me why fifa don't get a grip of this and stop the clock whilst the ball is dead

Really don't enjoy watching the likes of Iceland play. Sticking everyone behind the ball. Admire the spirit, passion and determination but it's not great to watch

Pleased to see them progress. Don't understand the irrational hatred of Argentina. I want to see the greatest player of all time perform and create moments to remember.

Absolute beauty from Messi that goal

Argentina didn't play a single ball player in the middle of the park. They couldn't build or dominate possession. So they were stuck with a bunch of attackers not getting the ball and subsequently drifting out of position to come and get it. At one point Messi dropped between the centre backs to receive the ball! At the same time Sampoali was to arrogant to have them sit back, the side didn't press the opposition and didnt have anyone who could put a foot on the ball in the middle of the pitch. Modric and Rakatic must have been creaming themselves. On top of this the two wing backs had no interest in defending so Croatia had 3 up top against 3 at the back. Sampaoli then once the argies are 1 - 0 down decides to bring on dybala for a midfield player. This was the only time Argentina were regaining a foothold then he ruined it as dybala was just up top and drifting so they became overrun in midfield again. The funny thing is Argentina have a few central midfield playmakers who simply weren't on the pitch. With the players at his disposal that was the most dismal set up of a side I've ever seen in my entire life. Made even worse by him posing with his tattooed guns out in a stupidly tight t-shirt at the end. He's a nob. Aguero at the end storming out saying the manager can say what he wants, he doesn't care. He needs to be sacked now and Argentina hope for a miracle.

Paul Hurst appointed new Ipswich manager. I think this could trigger a mass exodus from Shrewsbury.

Let's see a poll then.

Ricardo Carvalho. Titles with Chelsea and Madrid. Champs league with Porto

What has happened with Gary Speed has left me like many others quite distressed. Every football fan or at least a vast majority have had dreams of walking out onto the pitch for their team. Scoring that winning goal at Wembley. Living the dream and etching your name into the history of your club. As a result we all feel a connection with many footballers, especially with those of Gary Speeds ilk. A deep association of what his life may have been like and ultimately, what your life (or at least your fantasy life) could have been like. For me it brings back memories of seeing what happened to Marc Vivien-Foe on the pitch for Cameroon. Personally I worked incredibly hard in my quest to become a footballer. Ultimately I didn't make it but thinking about how hard he must have worked to achieve his dream, then having everything snatched away from him in such a cruel manner saddens me deeply. There are many terrible things which happen in the world but I feel I naturally empathize (rightly or wrongly) slightly more easily with these deaths, just through the joint association of a love for football and that dream. Now obviously what has happened with Gary Speed is a very different scenario but that association I feel still remains. That feeling that in some obscure way you knew him and the path he took. As I said for him to then take his own life I find highly distressing. Personally I am yet to truly come to terms with my own mortality. I imagine it will be a very long time coming too but it is in my opinion a path which everyone must take. I am not ashamed though to admit the thought of death still scares me and seeing such a familiar face such as Gary Speed pass away has definitely had an impact upon me. Forcing me to think about that aspect of life which I so often avoid. It remains incomprehensible to me how he has felt this was his only way out. For this to have happened is in every sense a tragedy. I disagree with anybody gossiping as to the nature of his death (as I have found in the "real world"). What everybody can agree on though, is that Gary Speed seemed a good man. He does not deserve his name to be tainted and personally feel it should be lain to rest. Depression is a very misunderstood condition which sadly even in the modern society which we live continues to take lives. Gary Speed. I truly hope that in some sense your soul has found peace.

How has nobody mentioned Rome. By far the most fantastic programme I have ever watched. I've never been one for repeatedly watching DVDs but I have watched Rome over and over again. Absolutely obsessed. Blood, gore, sex, brilliant acting and story lines aplenty.

Wow chill out!

I'm pretty sure it was Formica

I know he is basically playing that team. I think you misunderstood what I was saying/I did not word it correctly. The issue I was speaking of is the lack of leadership the team seems to have. Kean is not a motivator of men. The players do not seem to be walking onto the pitch with fight in their hearts, fight which I have seen them have under previous management/regimes. Anyone remember Samba heading the ball on the floor to stop a certain goal and taking a kick to the head for his troubles Colin Hendry style. I am not seeing this. Kean is not motivating them. Yes you could argue they should be willing to bleed for the shirt anyway but the simple matter is that is not the way the world works. I don't think Kean has them united and I believe the spirt although still there in a sense is gradually dying. They need leadership. So brilliantly demonstrated as something Kean lacks by his silence on the touchline during matches. No words of encouragement and no direction in the tactics within the game. Tactics is not only about the players picked in which positions but also about reacting to what is happening during a game. Kean may do all the tinkering he wants on the training ground in the week leading up to every game, but in the heat of a game he looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

Looking at that side it beggers belief that we are where we are. It contains quality and is far superior than any team in or around us. Looking at a side like that actually provides me with a little belief. All we need is a little leadership and not that f***wit Kean in charge. In terms of the City game though I believe Nzonzi is still suspended.

Rochina ready?

Crazy video. I would be terrified!

Watched Brazil vs Argentina U20's last night. Very entertaining though neither side especially Brazil had any concern whatsoever for their defence. And I thought we were playing very open lol. Made for a truely entertaining game though with attack followed by attack. One player that really caught my eye though was Juan Iturbe for Argentina. Great skill and dribbling ability and I seem to recall the commentator stating he was only 17. Really refreshing to watch though.
