The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I like a pundit who is a bit contentious but is it me or is Phil Neville just a complete prick......and his punditry is shit too.

He is, but sadly so are nearly all of them.

And for the WC we get treated to three of the thick-as-pigshit fucktards, plus the presenter.

A classic from Dion Dublin today; highlighting his previous piece of genuis insight said, " I said it would take a piece of skill or a mistake to break the deadlock."

Did you Dion? How brilliant! Although, failing divine intervention, there is no other possibility.

They might as well just say, 'I think that something is going to happen and then someone will do something and they'll be a result of somekind'. (I'm expecting a offer from the BBC is on it's way!).

Dion Dublin what a boy :D Yes, I never understood why he suddenly popped up on that property prog. I think the two presenters had all the bases covered so Dion's sudden appearance begs the question why? :rubchin:

I will see your Phil Neville and Dion Dublin and raise you one Ronnie Whelan..he has seemingly criticised Messi on RTE....I say seemingly because he criticised Argentina for playing the ball too close when it was Messi who was orchestrating the move.
Ronnie of the hybrid Scouse/ North Dublin accent. "The KEEPA saved the HEDDA..."

I was in a pub in Galway City centre yesterday when as man I know told me that Iceland are the Oierland of this World Cup and that is why the Oirish fans will support Iceland.
I hate that type of bollix talk,

Ronaldo is a colossus. Ultimate player for the big occasion.

:shock:

Ronaldo just DOUBLED his world cup goal tally in his FOURTH finals appearance.

2006 = 6 games = 1 goal
2010 = 4 games = 1 goal
2014 = 3 games = 1 goal

Hardly a big game player until yesterday, 3 goals in 13 games :lol:




Of all the people on this forum, lefty is the last one I would expect to be agreeing with me :shock: :shock: :shock: :wink: :lol: :lol:

Is it me or is Victor Moses the most selfish prick I’ve ever seen play the game? He’s looked a lazy bastard in a Chelsea shirt the last few times I’ve seen him, but today he’s hanging on to the ball as long as he can, and he’ll only release it IF there’s space for him to run into and receive a return ball :?

I didn’t think Iwobi looked too bad in the first half tbh. He’ll never be good enough to be a first team starter for us, but has been streets ahead of the shit on a stick he serves up for us. That said, I’d still happily drive him to the fucking airport

Trust me I felt so dirty afterwards I've gone off and had colonic irrigation (I say gone off, the missus did it for me with the Karcher :shock: left me feeling rather bloated tbf) such was my dismay :lol:

The one thing I admire about him is he always sprints off when being subbed. Wonderful attitude or just lots of practice.

Iwobi is a very consistent player for both club and country....awful but consistently so.

Nigeria are shit I don't know why they are hyped up when their best players are England rejects :lol:
One thing that surprised me is how badly the Croatians bullied the Nigerians. I didn't expect them to be so physically weak. No heart no fight no ideas.
