    So I didn’t say Shelvey was better then?

    Now we're into the dull stage. What's your point? Why are you mentioning Ozil?

    Because of the hissy fit you had last time I brought up hid lack of work ethic. At least you learnt from it.

    Because they play in completely different positions. I'm really not sure how this concept is so hard to understand. Eden Hazard has less defensive responsibility than Jonjo Shelvey if you want to take it off the Arsenal route.

    Cristiano Ronaldo, famous for his tireless defensive work.

    You mean there are exceptions? Well, that disproves everything. Anyway, this really is boring now.

    Because Ozil is every bit as effective in attack as Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Who was the goalkeeper (African nation I think) that chucked the ball in his own goal before the last Euro’s? Did anything ever happen with that?

    It must be pretty rare that the referee is the one to reach out.

    There isn't a team in the competition that wouldn't be improved by having Rabiot in it, so that's bonkers.

    Joe Hart
    The news that he's been dropped from England's World Cup squad won't have gone over well with Joe Hart. He's got rather poor form when it comes to dealing with this sort of thing.

    Last year, while filming a package for Children In Need, Joe was invited to a community centre to surprise some young carers and go in goal for a charity penalty shootout. However, when one of the kids (a nine year old) started getting a bit mouthy, taunting Joe about the fact he'd been dropped by Man City and had ended up playing for a shit team instead, the keeper's temper flared up and he booted the kid's ball over the community centre and out of the grounds.

    Then he didn't let in a single goal for the rest of the day.

    France could field four separate first elevens and still look good.

    I can believe it. We've all seen Michael Owen being a massive dick to children on a football pitch.

    I agree. The youth these days are ridiculously rude and have little to no manners.

    I don't even recall what I left for this time. I'm sure it was stupid as it usually is.

    At any rate, I had to stop by and take in the glory that is World Clashley Young making the World Cup squad for England and figured I'd knock around for a few days at least.
