Cheers Barn. Sorry for being a tit. I've just had a big row in work and I'm feeling a bit sh*tty.

Would you rather I left Barn? I seem to be getting up your nose a lot recently.

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/...ual_084302.html God I hope not. You'd only win the World Cup and you'd be unbearable then. Come over here instead Jose - you'll get the chance to work with Stephen Ireland (for ?500,000 per year).

I've changed my mind actually I want Stan to stay. O'Leary is the favourite to replace him.

I still think England will qualify. Israel will be no pushovers and I can see that Russian side struggle out there with the weight of expectation.

It was beyond painful. I stayed 'til the bitter end and everyone around me was too depressed to even acknowledge our goal. Some of those players will find it difficult to recover from that night, but whatever chance they have it has to be under a new coach. Staunton simply cannot be allowed to continue. Give him his f**king money and get rid.

I have never seen a better example of latent homsexual desire than that. Could Stevie's boyish looks be behind the press's adulation of him?

Excellent Bjd. That is one conspiracy theory I can definitely ascribe to.

Yes Good.

Thanks Barn. Anthony Stokes played. He was a great hope after his form for Falkirk but has failed to set the world alight since moving to Sunderland. There is also a problem with his attitude which makes Stephen Ireland look like Frankie Lampard. Adam Rooney has got good write ups. Which reminds me that the more illustrious Rooney could have declared for Ireland but didn't. Pity.

Can't answer the question I'm afraid Barn as I didn't see the game. The result was pretty emphatic. Who impressed you on the Irish team?

Oooh shudder. My all time least favourite footballer though was the distinctly unlovely Emelyn "Emmy" Hughes. Is he dead yet?

Ferdinand has gone up in my estimation* as a result. *He's now moved ahead of Stephen H*nt.

This is what we're up against. Exactly what Ethical said. The idea that Beckham offers more to the team defensively than Lampard is laughable. Run around more Frank. "Look at me everybody"

There are lots of things we can agree on. f**king hate Liverpoo too, and L*ds.

Your evidence is well-chosen sir. What Frank should do, just like the 2 media darlings you have named, is celebrate on his own with the crowd everytime he makes an assist leading to a goal.

You're normally spot on G4 so I just can't understand your position on Shevchenko. It's not that he's lost his pace it's worse than that. He can't run. Have you never seen that happen to a footballer? His legs have gone and with it his confidence. He knows it himself for sure. Can you really not see that?

Wash your mouth out young man.

Fair point

You can sing that Nibs.

Here's my tribute to Traffic Cone for The Shed End Pages. It rhymes. O Traffic Cone, Traffic Cone, Traffic Cone, In defence you can play in the zone, Up front you can play all alone, I love you Traffic Cone

I particularly like this and this And his general tenor being that there is life after Mourinho and it's time to move on. By the way has anybody questioned Bluenut's allegience to the club?

Bluenut and Abramovich Brilliant arguing of your position by each of you.* This is a great place. *Abramovich is right, of course

Again he's just too short to make it in the hurly burly of the Premier League.
