Football Banter

That's dynamite!

The little glance to the left after he caught it, you know he's thinking "How about that lads eh" But he keeps it in lol

I'd have been off down the park, hands up in the air celebrating...

You're quite right ,but wouldn't it have been the case anyway .Sunderland took a major gamble appointing that self-promoting idiot in the first place .
If they hope to stay up ,the next managerial appointment needs to be carefully considered .Gus Poyet is the name being bandied about ,but his last job ended in acrimonious terms .He may seem a couple of notches down from DiCanio on the outspoken meter , but he's always liable to throw his toys out when he's asked to do something he doesn't want to .The thing with these 2 , they're virtual managerial novices ,who both think they know everything .When in reality ,they've both had moderate success in a short time with 3rd tier teams .No one in their right mind will touch DiCanio in this country .Personally I'd think very long and hard before considering Poyet .

This is a bit of a Joke

I think he needs to be sure where his loyalties lie. I think Brazil should consider him as part of their team as backup.
if Neymar or any other strikers get injured before the World Cup with any serious injuries they may end up selecting him Yes Brazil have talent up front. but Surely once you play for your birth country that should be it that is your national team. But I think Spain would fight hard for him I'm sure.
Is it right that once he has played in a competitive match for Brazil ne wouldn't be allowed to play for Spain?

no this isn't a joke!

I thought 'If he's interviewed on The FL Show' at any time he'll leave whoever interviews him baffled!! 'Brain engaged' - what part of his brain is ever engaged on the football field?

Yes that's correct. As I understand it, as he's only played friendlies for Brazil he's still free to switch nationality. Personally I think it sucks too. Not that I'm an avid follower of Brazil but I think he should stay with them as he's already played for them.

Thiago Motta did this too by playing for Italy, not that we need Motta but Scolari should be picking Costa instead of Jo...
