Drop all those too old for 2014 World Cup and try to have a good tournament (quarter finals?) in Euro 2012. Lampard and Terry being out for these first two games can only be a good thing for looking forward.

Got to play Walcott, A Johnson, A. Young, Hart, Dawson and Lescott at the minute. Upfront would like to see Zamora and Bent with Crouch on the bench.

Barton is scum but deserves a look in if you ask me.

Attacking the Indian students was some cowardly shit, I reckon Germany and England are their biggest targets out there, I mean for the Polish fans regardless of your skin colour(although that will be even worse if your not white) tbh I thought it would be funny to see England fans get fucked up, I'm talking about the wanker fans, but in reality it would prob be the families and innocent cunts that get it, I hope the security is stepped up or something

football authorities have always been reactionary bastards.

There's a fair amount of militant anti-fascists in Poland, as well as antifa ultras/firms

Ukraine however is worse.

Russia is super fucked

Did anyone see the panorama on Ukrainian and polish football fascism? Still can't believe they've been given the tournament.

they gave the tournament to them because they voted platini as president of uefa, platini also promised to help central & eastern european countries clubs compete financially. that is why we have the uefa financial fair play rule, really platini and uefa couldn't give a monkey's if man city, chelski, etc spend billions. platini is almost as bent and crooked as blatter.

I think that's the main concern as well, problem solved.

All scaremongering shit. The footage of those donuts in the woods playing with wooden knifes was laughable. The cops out there will stamp on any skinhead looking for trouble.

yea, and I didn't see any nazi salutes either. They were just pointing at opposition fans.

i think the racism fears are probably overshadowing where most of the violence will come from - between the german and polish firms, if the 2006 world cup was anything to go by

Adam Johnson is too inconsistent for Hodgson's 'steady eddie' mindset. 1 great game followed by 3 shit ones. It explains why he went with Stuart Downing, who is consistently shit.

Evers got people in Germany that got chased by skinned heads on regs and nasty comments. They said WC really helped changed that.

that's what I mean Carl - WC in Germany was a party. Euros in Ukraine you got to expect neanderthal behaviour as its an untrodden path.

I saw a bit of trouble in Germany. Nothing racially or politically motivated though, just pissed up fans entering into the spirit of media motivated 'Engerlund Fan' behaviour.

The Fan Parks were a great idea over there and in the most part fostered a relaxed, party atmosphere. It'll be interesting to see how the Parks go down in this tourney assuming they adopt the same idea as it would appear that most fans that travel are gonna be teetering on the ragged edge of their nerves in anticipation of trouble which is only gonna serve to heighten the feeling of angst amongst a big crowd of opposing supporters.

i've seen that from chelsea suppoerters over here! are these isolated incidents? are the makers of the programme out to grab headlines?

course there is a problem with racism...but we're taking a team over there with an ex-captain due in court for spouting that kind of filth too.

tabloid tv if you ask me.
