JamieM Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ola John has left Twente and gone to Benfica - think quite a few EPL clubs were looking at him.In other news, I hope action is taken against Dries Mertens for the blatant push on Gary Cahill that resulted in a fractured jaw and him now missing all of Euro 2012.

Teng Ai Hui Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Big result for Mexico, beating Brazil 2-0. Makes me nervous for the USMNT. They have a friendly against them sometime in the near future, and it's highly likely that they will meet in the next round of WC qualifying.

Young Wolf Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 And England decides to keep Ferdinand at home and bring in Kelly instead with Cahill out. Crazy.Also something more amusing, Joey Barton got punched in the back of the head the other night while at a gay bar in Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A collision was inevitable, and, since he pushed him at the top of his back, his momentum took him face first into the onrushing Hart.So, considering the dangerous play, I'd say a two match international ban would be reasonable.

MercenaryChef Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The Libertines are terrible.On a footballing note, why has Hodgson called up Martin Kelly?why?because hodgson favors racist-on-trial john terry to his alleged victim's brother rio ferdinand.it is suggested that terry's racial attacks on rio's brother could in fact make a defensive partnership between rio and terry as being a touch on the tense side.

baxus Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 i don't know what's the fuss with hodgson calling kelly to the squad.he's young, he's good, he has potential to be much better. he needs the experience of a major tournament.he will most likely sit every game out, maybe get a few minutes of gametime near the end of the match.it's not as if hodgson is calling him to build an entire team around him.the real problem for england is that glen johnson will be playing starting RB and that downing might play and that... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
