And Hoddle's ex girlfriend was this faith healer's daughter...isn't love sweet?

[Guest]

Dunno Mysti. There's still some David Ike underneath I suspect.

[mystiroakey]

Hoddle's reported remarks that disability is a payback for sin in previous lives leads to renewed and vigorous demands for his resignation. But Eileen is still there backing him.

I remember that now. Weird stuff..

Spooky!

[Guest]

I didn't like the way that he denied saying it and went out of his way to try and discredit the journo that interviewed him and reported it. Sour stuff.

Spooky!

She can heal animals! All is forgiven.

Paul O'Grady will be in touch Eileen.

[mystiroakey]

If he still believes all that I think he must have worked out there is no need to share those views any more.

He certainly seems grounded enough these days..

[Guest]

He needs to drum up some fresh public support by re-releasing Diamond Lights.

Tune.

[mystiroakey]

Crusty crusty crusty

[Duty281]

Tune.

Belting out a tune didn't do Phil Brown much good!

[mystiroakey]

I take it World Cup songs are part of an uncool era these days,,, I wonder if one is going to come out. And if it does. Who sings it?

My money's on the fat dude from Gavin and Stacey

[Duty281]

I'll sing it. No doubt my sheer passion will carry me through.

[mystiroakey]

Ok I vote for duty..

Write a song dude.. If it's good I will promote it for you..

[Guest]

They'll never top Vindaloo. Outstanding anthem. P!sses all over 3 Lions.

All that it lacks is a John Barnes Rap.

[Mat]

Come on now, 3 lions is a masterpiece!

[westisbest]

So we are literally the only team ever that can't beat Fulham

We lost there #CaptainNolan

So did we 

[Stella]

They'll never top Vindaloo. Outstanding anthem. P!sses all over 3 Lions.

All that it lacks is a John Barnes Rap.

Vindaloo and the 96 three lions songs are up out in front of the others, including world in motion, which is as bad as 'this time we'll get it right' from 1982.

[mystiroakey]

World in motion is great Bar the Barnes rap part which coats the song in melted cheese

[Stella]

I find it boring. Not exactly anthemic. Nothing is as bad as Embrace's 2006 song.

[mystiroakey]

I had a quick Google search.

One Direction are favs to do one..

I thought these songs were a thing of the past..

The Hysteria isn't far off      

[mystiroakey]

I find it boring. Not exactly anthemic. Nothing is as bad as Embrace's 2006 song.

When I was 13 watching the semi final... I had world in motion on repeat on a tape deck..(well I kept rewinding it lol- remember those days!!) and I cried listening to it once we went out.

I was sad!!

[Stella]

13? thought you were in your 40's?

[mystiroakey]

Really. My age is there for everyone to see...

How old are you?

[Stella]

Sorry, so it is. I thought you mentioned once that you were in your forties, but must have been somebody else.........sorry.

41, approaching 42.

[mystiroakey]

40 is the new 30 Stella..

[Stella]

So they tell me, but it's bellox, I tell ya   

[GSC]

The problem is most WC songs are pants.

[GSC]

Tbh it's probably worth a few quid on Gary Barlow

[Duty281]

One Direction to do a World Cup song?

How about: "If only you saw what I can see/You'll understand why Roy wants you so desperately/Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe/You don't know oh oh.../You don't know you're En-ger-lish....That's what makes you En-ger-lish!

Then we can dedicate it to Januzai and Rafael, and any other foreign fellow who may be eligible to don the 3 Lions in the near-future!

[mystiroakey]

Lol duty..

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Back Home is a lovely tune.

The 8 managers that have been employed for more than this season in the Premier League at their club:

Arsenal - Arsene Wenger - 17 years 100+ days
Newcastle - Alan Pardew - 3 years 50+ days
West Ham - Sam Allardyce - 2 years 200+ days
Liverpool - Brendan Rodgers - 1 year 200+ days
Aston Villa - Paul Lambert - 1 year 200+ days
Norwich - Chris Hughton - 1 year 200+ days
Hull - Steve Bruce - 1 year 200+ days
Southampton - Mauricio Pochettino - 1 year and a bit

5 of those have been rumoured to be sacked/quit this season too (Pardew, Allardyce, Lambert, Hughton, Pochettino).

(I got this from somewhere else)

[GSC]

It's crazy looking back when Fawaz was deciding to buy us or Leeds. Now he's pumped millions in and is backing Davies while Leeds are in court via an Italian fraudster

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Thinking about it, its crazy seeing Cardiff and Swansea both in the Premier League and Forest and Leeds not.

[GSC]

Its crazy that Wales now has better teams than Scotland

[The Special Juan]

Its crazy that Wales now has better teams than Scotland

Can still attract world famous players though... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26057668

[mystiroakey]

It would hurt palace , but I would be happy to let the Scottish clubs into thee PL.

It would strengthen the brand..bring a Few Irish clubs in as well. They should have let the MK dons locate to Dublin.

[The Fourth Lion]

The problem is most WC songs are pants.

I especially enjoyed Tone Deaf All Stars'  "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Jurgen Klinsmann" during the Germany World Cup

But nothing beats:




I suppose ZDF could make a Zlatan question out of that.  Name 3 England players in the video, singing "Back Home".  Kudos to those who can come up with three that doesn't include Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore or Gordon Banks. A raspberry to those who can't for not knowing England's best ever world cup squad better.

[The Fourth Lion]

That old chestnut..!!   It was mooted some years back when Celtic and Rangers thought they would rather like to cash in on the Premier League boom.  The FA were against the move from the start, but certain commercial concerns thought it might be a goer and started to work on the SFA to push the idea with UEFA.

UEFA kicked it firmly into touch, saying that Scotland has a distinct league of its own and Scottish clubs must play in it.  UEFA also said that drawing comparisons to Berwick (in England) playing in the Scottish League, or Welsh clubs playing in the English leagues are spurious and add no weight to the argument.

They then went on to darkly hint that if such a move ever did take place, it would mean that the England and Scotland national teams would have to merge to form a Great Britain team to play in international football.  This quickly sent the SFA running for cover.

Sorry, Oakey, but the idea has been booted over the roof of the stand long since.   It's a dead parrot, mate.

[kwinigolfer]

Jack C, Terry Cooper, Stiles, Hunter, Hurst, Franny Lee, Tommy Wright . . . . . .

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ive gone from 60-1996 to 60-1966 (1970 didn't sound as good so stuff it!)

I'm scared of the football on saturday, I feel that disappointment returning

[GSC]

I'd be happy for Celtic and Rangers to join.

Right at the bottom of the league pyramid mind

[Duty281]

Celtic? Who would want that vile Irish club in our league?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

GSC would, he just said. People these days and their reading

I dont believe that mate..

I think this is just chinese whispers that the scots like to spout as scare tactics......

I mean lets me honest here - If it wasnt for football there would be zero chance of scotish independence....

No sorry mate- unless you have a source to uefas statements i cant buy that(never heard it before either)

[Duty281]

Fine. Celtic can join the Premiership and, as a trade, we'll give the Scottish league Sunderland.

That way we're all happy! Especially Sunderland, who will start to win things and get into the Champions League.

[GSC]

I hope you mean the Ryman PL Duty

[mystiroakey]

well no that isn't fair duty. We need to give them two teams..

TBH I think we should give them Brighton and Millwall anyway   

[Duty281]

Geographically it might be a bit difficult.

How about we swapsies Brighton (England's gay equality club) and Millwall (England's fascist equality club) for two continental clubs?

[GSC]

Why don't we just merge them into Brightwall

[Stella]

Never been to watch Football at Brighton, but it must be up there with some of the best away venues............unlike Millwall.

Nottingham is out in front.
