Our Dirk is starting.

[Romario]

Lotsa Valencia boys in there. Glad Alonso doesn't start although I love watching him play.

Would love Gerrard not to be playing either to be honest but there ya go.

 

Be interesting to see how Villa does against an Engerlish defence considering he's been mentioned a few times re. us.

[Benitez]

aye, I'm not bothered about Xabi being on the bench Everyone knows he's da man!

 

But with Pepe - he has been in fantastic form, and is the best out there now for Spain (in my not at all blinkered rosey red tinted view ), and as Casillas has played so much anyway, surely this would be a chance to start him? Specially as the game is over here!

Why Does Mclaren insist on putting on that stupid smile of his as often as possible? it's like he's been briefed to do it, before answering any question, or at the start of any interview.

 

Does he think it makes him look intelligent / nice? He just looks like even more of an annoying gormless t*** than he so obviously is...

he's actually been to some poncey a*** personality coach or whatever the fec they are called! I wish I could remember the name, cos I know that isn't right sadly One of them fecers who get paid thousands to make people more personable on the tellybox etc etc. Hasn't fecin worked, he's more annoying than he ever was, he has a face you just want to punch, hard.

 

Rafa needs to have a word, being as they are buddies an all.

Is most very much correct. He's probably been coached to carry on smiling while receiving blows to the face.

[floyd]

I for one will be standing now to sing the anthem to save a freeloading tw4t, and send them to somewhere

[Romario]

I'm annoyed with myself. Many moons ago I told myself NEVER to watch another England friendly as they are

usually completly lame affairs but V Spain I can't help being intrigued to be honest.

 

Looking forward to Xavi's fecking amazing ability to never give the ball away. (cue a brutal performance)

 

I'm not anti England btw but I'd love McClaren to be found out again. I just can't understand the F.A.s complete

inability to address problems properly leaving your average bloke on the street shellshocked every tourny when England

limp out.

 

 

SWP name on his back looks like it goes from elbow to elbow.

[Mike]

dyer s**** twice in a minute

[Benitez]

Gerrard on the right? Whatever next!

[Mike]

he's in the middle

[Romario]

Spain just beginning to wake up. This is going to be interesting

[Benitez]

is he? I swtiched on after about 3 minutes and he was maurading down the right giving Puyol a hard time

 

Oh look, there is crazy claudio.

Motson the silly old git thinks he's still at Valencia. He really does need to be put out to grass

[Mike]

he didn't say that...he said formerly of chelsea and valencia.

 

carrick total s****.

[Romario]

I take it Carrick plays because he's now playing for ManU. Do you reckon McClaren asks

Ferguson who to play?

lol! Silly fecer.

 

Valencia are glad he isn't still there for sure! I like the mad old fool now tho, Claudio that is, not Motson.

[Mike]

carrick is a staggeringly average player.

[Benitez]

Wright Phillips has forgotten how to play football again.

[Mike]

actually, carrick is a staggeringly below average footballer.

Anyone know if Rarfa is in the crowd watching his summer signing/s?

I hope he's kept away from Scancy Manc and is at home having a nice glass of Rioja watching on the tellybox

[Mike]

[Benitez]

It's Ralfa
