You have to remember he just saying what he is told to say and from their buisiness model it makes sense, it does not mean it is right but if you want to listen to that station you have to be prepared to know what they are all about, and that is selling advertising space to Builders Merchants mainly, facts and fair comment have nothing to do with it it's sell, sell, sell and then some more

Yes. You have to suffer a ton of shit, but there are diamonds to be had if you stick with it; the Mike Summerbee interview? Too short is my only criticism.

It takes time for so-called minnow nations to catch up and become competitive, and who's to say one of them can't or won't, at some point in the future, give some of the established teams a good game. Hang on, wait a minute, the current campaign for the Euro 2016 qualifiers is full of great and truly surprising results by some of the minnows against some of the bigger teams.

Cyprus won in Bosnia.
Luxembourg won in Macedonia.
Faroe Islands have beaten Greece home and away, and remember them beating Austria in their first ever qualifying campaign.
Liechtenstein currently have 5 points, including a credible win against Stefan Jovetic's Montenegro.
Malta held Bulgaria to a draw in Sofia and twice lost by a single goal to Italy.
Albania currently have 11 points and are serious contenders to qualify from Portugal's group, or at the very least take a spot in the play-offs. They've already won in Portugal and held Denmark to two draws. That's right, they won in Portugal.

Remember Turkey in the 1980s. England thumped them 8-0 twice and another 5-0 in different qualifying campaigns. They conceded 48 goals in two World Cup qualifying campaigns, scoring only 3 in reply, and finishing with 1 point from both campaigns. They fared little better in the Euro campaigns. Fast forward to the 90s and they're qualifying for Euro 96, reaching the quarter finals of Euro 2000, and then the World Cup semi-finals in 2002.

The great Juventus side of the mid-80s contained a midfielder called Massimo Bonini. He partnered Marco Tardelli in midfield in the teams that won the European Cup in '85 and who lost the 1983 final to Hamburg. Italy, who were going through a transitional period in the mid-80s after their World Cup win, were desperate for him to choose to play for the Azzuri. He refused. It was his dream to represent San Marino, who weren't recognised officially by UEFA until they were allowed to participate in the qualifiers for Euro 92. He played 15 times for San Marino when he might easily have played in several major tournaments with Italy.

To suggest so-called minnow sides shouldn't be allowed to compete is, frankly, crap. It suggests supporters of major countries and major clubs perhaps have their heads up their own arses, rendering themselves oblivious as to what representing their countries means for those players from smaller countries, what it means for them to play against England, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc., what it means for them to hear their national anthems played at the Bernabeu or at Wembley.

So why have the early rounds of the FA Cup? Get the top teams in from the start in August. San Marino, Isle of Man etc are not even countries it's made a farce of international football and the way it is now its hard for the established ones not to qualify for the finals, although Netherlands are trying hard.
 
After reading the Delph thread. I've just Googled instagram and Stan Collymore and cannot believe what he posted last night
First time I've ever done it, but I've sent a complaint in to Talksport. I don't expect anything other than a "thank you for contacting us" but I hope someone has a word with him over his conduct and responsibilities if he's the supposed head football correspondent

In fact I'm really that disgusted I'm going to contact City and raise the issue with them

I'm sure Talkshite will confirm that Collymores Instagram account is a reflection of his personal opinions and in no way represents the views of Talkshite. The blokes a complete bellend, all of his stupidity has been well documented on here, there and everyfuckingwhere, everyone knows he's as thick as pig shit and just shouts a lot so don't let him spoil your day.
 
This has probably been posted before as it's quite old,but for those who haven't heard it,here you go...shuts the **** up.

Maybe you are right..... last night San Marino scored their first away goal in 14 years! So if the next one takes 7 years, clearly they are improving ;)
 
City should ban Collymore from the stadium

To gloat about an injury in my eyes is a disgrace. Fair enough if he misses an open goal but to mock a player about an injury is completely wrong that is why Keane will always be a **** in my eyes and now so will Collymore

I wasn't aware of this until today but apparently Sterling is the first ever player to dive.

Not only this , but according to herr hamman , the sainted Wayne probably wouldn't want his record goal to come from an unfairly gained penalty!!!!
Presumably the Teutonic tit hasn't seen the pens they have had courtesy of Ashley the acrobat.
The slagging of sterling has been woeful today- "divers shouldn't prosper" -"something should be done"etc.
Remember the sly grins when Owen flung himself to the ground against Argentina? -" dive -yeah , but who cares , we got the pen"

I cannot take Hamann seriously, he sounds like he's been sucking on a helium balloon for an hour before the show.
