Interesting draw for the play offs:

Ireland vs France
Portugal vs Bosnia
Greece vs Ukraine
Russia vs Slovenia

My tips in bold. Think that Fifa will be a bit peeved that France got Ireland as their plan was probably to get France and Portugal againt Bosnia and Slovenia so they only went 1 of 2.

I really think that Ireland have a shot against France. They raise their game against the big teams and Domenech is trying his hardest to ruin a talented French team

Am on it!

I will chuck it on myself

Tom Henning Ovrebo will be appointed the ref as well.

Not a cat in hell's chance over two legs.

I'd love to have seen the Irish get through but being drawn against Greece was probably just about the only way it would have happened.

Do away goals count in the playoffs? Been at home first could well help the Irish IMO. Can see them sneaking a 2-1 victory at home with a fighting draw away, I'll probably be well out when its actually played!

Done.

I'll f*cking do it myself for that sort of return.

They have found the scouser who threw the ball on the pitch. However, the accused claims he was in his hotel at the time

-2/10

Genorous

I thought he was referring to your ability to spell



Where's the famous 'scouse sense of humour'?

Nice to see Bullard back tonight..

But the game itself we played orite for first 10/15 minutes and looked good defensively but when Fulham scored we didnt have a plan b and Brown needs to stop playing so negative.

Cant lose on saturday against Pompey

I think you should stick to posting your photoshopped pictures instead of trying your hand at scouse comedy

Are there any scousers on here?

I've gone back a few pages and haven't seen anyone mention this. Type in viana 11 chapadinha 0 onto that video sharing site and see what is most probably the most corrupt game in football history.

The last 9 goals were in the last 9 minutes of the game and they needed to win by 11 goals to secure promotion.

What's crazy is that someone can say that the team lying in 4th place in the league have made the best start in PL history. Starts aren't judged by the goals scored, but the points taken.

Bet the keeper got a kicking off his own team later. He pulled off a couple of good saves

In terms of goals scored, as specified in the post, it's the best start since 1992.

Along with FIFA's changing of the rules to help France and Portugal to the World Cup, it's obvious that people in football can't even be ar5ed to hide corruption any more.

My initial reaction is that the team who won 11-0 shouldn't be promoted, the team who lost 11-0 should be kicked out of football and every member of the team should be banned for life.

It's difficult to know what should be done though. The other important game in that promotion race finished 5-1, was that a genuine game or just as corrupt?
