I'll work out what it's for one day.


I was going to post about young Spearing coming into the Liverpool side this weekend to give Kenny some Lucas-aid, but I won't bother.

This bloody draw is moving slower than Paul Wellens.

GET ON WITH IT!

Sweden again....?

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Fri Dec 02, 2011 6:03 pm  

Some good groups there (apart from a decidedly uninspiring looking Group A)......Is it not fair to say that for actual quality football from the off, the Euros actually knocks spots off the overlong, and increasingly tedious, World Cup?

So we are in with Ukraine, Sweden and France.

It isn't as bad as group B but it looks a tricky group all the same. We will have to get a win against the co-hosts in front of a noisy passionate crowd, as we never seem to get a win against the Swede's in tournament football and the French are looking better under Laurent Blanc.

As for group A....i will give those games a miss.

Its got echoes of the 1992 Euros (if we can all remember back that far.. ).....After 2 lacklustre performances resulted in 2 draws, and left us needing a result against an unfancied host, the rest was history as Sweden set about putting the first nails in Graham Taylor's coffin.

We have a similar schedule this time around and you really have to fancy that it could go the same way as 20 years ago.
