He was disappointing in the one match that he did start in, against Greece, a match in which Alonso was fantastic. In saying that, it looks like Fabregas will indeed start the final as Villa appears injured. If he can play half as well as he did last night then it should be Spain's cup.Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185480711484722452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-16693402809585057042008-06-27T07:42:00.000+00:002008-06-27T07:42:00.000+00:00Buckley we're doing a pod this evening, hope this ...Buckley we're doing a pod this evening, hope this makes up for our frankly paltry amount of europods so far. We did do a preview show as well though.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the final, as for Johnny's love of fab; well he was brilliant last night. The over-reaction to arshavin pre-semi final will be dwarfed by the eurphoria around the 'joy of cesc' in the run up to Sunday though. However, if he doesn't bottle it like the russian did last night then Johnny may well have a point.<BR/><BR/>TmcG (a) using that stay classy line did indeed make me ridiculously happy, and (b) that line from Lawro is proof that he is as stupid as he is stupid looking. What a load of balls. Didn't see any 70 yard hollywood balls pinged on to the corner flag for one. It shows how lazy the BBC panel are; instead of making an informed opinion of how spain played let's just head to rancho relaxo and talk about english football again, when, as the standard of this tournament has shown, they are nowhere near the top level of international football. If I was an english licence fee payer it may well be time to head to the small claims court to get my money back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668680159176712374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-28638148471237170322008-06-27T03:56:00.000+00:002008-06-27T03:56:00.000+00:00One fucking pod for the whole tourney.

Its nauseating. Especially from a man that openly admits he doesn't watch any football outside of the Premiership. I love the man but his love for Fob Fabregas does get to me. Maybe i'm just jealous and long for some Giles loving.<BR/><BR/>Hope Germany win it now. Just to see the scowl on Dunphy's pissed up head. Was definitely on the booze for the Germany Turkey game and i wish Brady had slapped him.Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242919700493178425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-87090328307393829012008-06-27T00:06:00.000+00:002008-06-27T00:06:00.000+00:00Okay vow to never watch MOTD again.

Oh congrats okeydoke think one of you lads predicted Spanish German final well done. What's the odds on Brady giving Dunphy a slap before it's all over. Getting nice and cranky in the RTE studios.

He's on 4 with Podolski and an injured Nihat on 3. If Ballack gets one tonight and another in the final then I'm happy enough. I assume the bookies pay out the full amount if it's a tie for top scorer.<BR/>Still can't remember the name of that pub. You're right, it wasn't great. It was huge and was jammed that day for the turkey match. I live around the corner from it now.Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185480711484722452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-23452996179379003412008-06-25T13:22:00.000+00:002008-06-25T13:22:00.000+00:00I think that place was called Chasers or something...I think that place was called Chasers or something like that.
