Barry's always been good enough for mid to top half level never quite yhe too level

by Marky Wed 09 Oct 2013, 11:46 am

Wins a game on day of release, gets it nearly two weeks later... Nice one TalkSport.

by Marky Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:00 pm

Check this out. Crawley Town's Mike Jones scoring from the halfway line last night in the JPT defeat at home to Newport. Great hit, especially considering how poor we were for the rest of the game!

So in light of this Januzaj chit chat, what countries are you eligible to play for?!

My lifes goal is to become Luxembourg's number 1

by sodhat Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:07 pm

England. That's it as far as I'm aware.

Great grandparents from both Ireland and Scotland, but too far back for me to be eligible.

by Marky Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:07 pm

England and Scotland. Although any country where residency applies to as I'm yet to feature for any International side competitively...

by Marky Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:09 pm

The residency rule that could apply to Januzaj I heard today could apply to other foreigners yet to be capped at senior International level. Including David De Gea!

by FIFA Diva Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:17 pm

Did anyone read what Jack Wilshere said not the bit about only English players for England but this.

We have to remember what we are.
“We are English and we tackle hard and we are tough on the pitch and we are hard to beat. We have great characters.
“You think of Spain and you think technical football, but you think of England and you think they are brave and they tackle hard and we have to remember that.”

An you lot called him Scholes+ hahaha poor Wilshere still living in the stone ages.

by Fernando Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:18 pm

Olly wrote:So in light of this Januzaj chit chat, what countries are you eligible to play for?!

England & Wales & Egypt & Germany

by **Afro** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 12:19 pm

Although the home nations have voluntarily opted out of the residency ruling.

So unless we renege on our agreement with Scotland, Ireland, Wales, which is really unlikely, Januzaj and De Gea will never be eligible for England

LETS PLAY FOUR FOUR F*CKING TWO

He's talking character traits and national identity. It doesn't mean he is going to play long ball football.

Paul Scholes's own quotes:

"When it's over I just want to be able to look in the mirror and say, 'Well, you were a half-decent player.' "

"When you are English, you play to your strengths. We are good at the physical side of the game, so that is what we should play to"

and for balance, about Paul Scholes:

"When we were in training , I used to do alot of tricks which hardly any players at the club could do.Once i was showing my skills to Scholes.After i finished it,Scholes took the ball and pointed to a tree which was about 50m from where we were standing.He said,I'm going to hit it in one shot.He kicked and hit the tree.He asked me to do the same,I kicked about 10 times,but still couldnt hit it,With that Accuracy.He smiled and left." - Ronaldo

“Good enough to play for Brazil. I love to watch Scholes, to see him pass, the boy with the red hair and the red shirt.” - Socrates

"Paul Scholes is a role model. For me – and I really mean this – he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. I've spoken to Xabi Alonso about him. He's spectacular, he has it all: the last pass, goals, he's strong, he doesn't lose the ball, vision. If he'd been Spanish he might have been rated more highly. Players love him." - Xavi

“Just heard Paul Scholes has retired, best I’ve ever played against by a mile. Most technically gifted player in english history. Legend” - Joey Barton

I never learn to not drink coffee from the machine at work. I'm physically shaking from the caffeine hit. This doesn't happen anywhere else.

by **Hero** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:03 pm

I'd qualify for England and USA.

by FIFA Diva Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:04 pm

If I wasn't going to make the England team I wouldn't bother playing for another country who struggle to win a game in qualifiers. Much rather have a break in the internationals then play in the Asia gold cup qualifiers.

by sodhat Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:10 pm

What about if you got one free pass to play, and therefore live in, any country in the world. Where would you pick?

See how many want to stick it with England...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:16 pm

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

by **Hero** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:20 pm

Japan, always wanted to visit it.

by FIFA Diva Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:20 pm

Haha have fun playing in the MLS Olly. I'd stick with England that way I play in the premier league.

by sodhat Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:22 pm

I'd rather live in the US but then that is only so I could watch all the sport. Do you know, they show every single Premier League match on TV out there?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:23 pm

MLS? Pfft I'd play College for my whole career #YOLO

by **Afro** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:23 pm

I've been to plenty of countries, speak with lots of different nationalities around the world in my job.

I'll be honest.....

I'll stick with Britain every single time thanks.

The grass is not always greener and you always need to compare what you have with what you would get elsewhere instead.

by sodhat Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:27 pm

England or Britain?

Don't let the Welsh colour you, you have to select a single nation.

by **Afro** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:31 pm

Japan was really nice Hero. Really friendly people.

It would be horrendous to live in the USA imo. All the sport is far outweighed by the negatives for me. All the community services are a real bureaucratic nightmare to be able to use, a lot of the neighbourhoods I saw were really run down (in Florida, Virginia and Kentucky) and it is so vast that it takes hours to travel anywhere. Nice chicken though

by **Afro** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 1:32 pm

The United Kingdom.

I actually like both, but if I was forced to choose, Wales is more friendly and I don't have to pay for prescriptions nor tuition fees if my kids go to Uni

Congratulations, you are the mystery winner of the free pass! You will be staying with a Mr P Pot and his family in Phnom Penh (which is really beautiful btw). Don't wear your glasses.

See you when (if) you get back

by **Hero** Wed 09 Oct 2013, 2:15 pm

Anyone see that for the next two games of the qualifiers Germany have only got Max Kruse as a striker, think his value on TM is going to rocket in the next month.

Panicking in a sandwich shop and allowing a distressingly odd combination of fillings to happen.

A lot of the tweets are freakishly true and I thought I was the only one who does it.

We have put a new maedia page up and Hero had the good idea of letting everyone pose the questions

https://www.606v2.com/t48685-media-page

So get your questions up (max of 1 each) asap and hopefully we can start to post our answers some time tomorrow

A boxing match?

I'd set that up in a second.

by **Afro** Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:02 am

VivaPaulScholes wrote:Morning

That's for you and CF to arrange, not us.

You agree which week to play it

by **Afro** Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:29 am

Remember, tactics in today everyone Ok!

by FIFA Diva Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:50 am

OK I've set up a match for 17th between me and CF, plenty of notice for him and I've even posted on his page.

Can someone please post injuries for me and CF on our pages thank you.

by Gregers Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:52 am

Can me and Trebs have permission to sort a deal today, I went home ill yesterday so was unable to confirm in time

by FIFA Diva Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:53 am

Gregers wrote:Can me and Trebs have permission to sort a deal today, I went home ill yesterday so was unable to confirm in time

You can but you can't put them in your team for today's tactics.

by sodhat Thu 10 Oct 2013, 10:54 am

Just met the most Bristolian man ever. Such a strange accent. No offence Afro.

My boss is from there too but you usually can't tell. He gets more Bristol around other ones though.

by FIFA Diva Thu 10 Oct 2013, 11:05 am

Deadline for voting still Monday 11:59?

by **Afro** Thu 10 Oct 2013, 11:05 am

Terrible accent, I agree Sod. Fortunately, I don't have that accent

VivaPaulScholes wrote:Deadline for voting still Monday 11:59?

Yup, but you can do them before if you want Whistle

by **Afro** Thu 10 Oct 2013, 11:07 am

Anyone else want to submit a question for the media page this week, you have until midday and then I'm sticking them up.

by FIFA Diva Thu 10 Oct 2013, 12:44 pm

Can someone edit the homepage please and put my Basel side in there for Cherries and CF PSV side too please.

by **Afro** Thu 10 Oct 2013, 12:55 pm

Do people still use the homepage links then?

ANyway, done Ok!

by FIFA Diva Thu 10 Oct 2013, 1:02 pm

Yeah I do it's quicker going through teams. Thanks Afro.

by Guest Thu 10 Oct 2013, 1:02 pm

I use them too Afro. Well I say 'use', when they're correct I do Whistle
