Twitter is the worst thing to ever happen to transfer season. Shit is just made up on the fly, a journalist is duped into retweeting it and then you have a brand new transfer story without a shred of actual truth to it.

EG I'm just after reading that Arsenal have agreed a fee with Dortmund and will discuss personal terms with Kagawa in the next week. When the guy was asked about hoe he came about this info he just said that he "knew a lad in Germany."

Shits ridiculous.

:lol

Twitter ITK's deserve no attention whatsoever. I only trust a select few journalists on there. I feel especially sorry for Arsenal fans, they had some Twitter accounts more or less announce M'Vila's signing. When M'Vila said yday he didn't know where he would go or anything about a possible move they were saying "Just got a bollocking from AFC, tells you everything you need to know about M'Vila".

I mean, seriously? Lol.

Thanks, the one thing I'm worried about mainly is price of an open return from London. Think it's like 80 quid apparently. Would that be the best way to do it or just buy a single on the day you're going, then buy a single on the day I'm returning?

It's best to check - I've got a YP railcard so it's not too bad for me at all. But an 80 quid open return sounds a lot - I'd just price it up now and have a think. Are you going to spend most of your time in Exeter or are you going to pop into Devon or Cornwall?

Carroll hat-trick incoming.

Prediction: 3-2 England.

 

[offshore]

Please get Peter Reid off my television.

The best twitter "ITK" is Duncan Jenkins. Genius.

 

[elsk]

Germany lost? They lost? Did they joke through the whole match or what is this.

They had to play without the Bayern players, that's what happened

I'll be staying in Exeter the entire time. No railcard either. :\ I'd have to go from my town (Stevenage) to King's Cross, then from there go to Paddington, then get that train to Exeter. It might be best to just get an open return from Stevenage and return on the Monday/Tuesday, cos that would be a fixed price, plus it apparently covers tube as well? Travelling can be such a bitch, even in this country when it comes to planning. :lol

Why?

Megatrain? I know for certain they go from Waterloo to Exeter.

Haha yeah he's brilliant.

Surprised Kelly has never played CB, think it'd actually be better for him, very strong and tall, goes about his work very efficiently.

He started of as a CB but Liverpool were lacking a RB against Lyon way back. And he dominated (and then got injured). Plays at CB for England-U21s.

Why are we holding roses?

 

[D4Danger]

Why are we holding roses?

it's about the shooting last year

 

[Ashes]

it's about the shooting last year

I see. How come Norway aren't holding them as well?

 

[Kenka]

I can't even begin to understand how Germany went under like a rock in a lake. The players didn't find any harmony, which is pretty worrying if you ask me.

I mean Klose didn't do crap, that's nothing usual.

 

[danwarb]

I see. How come Norway aren't holding them as well?

I think they're to be handed over at some point

The worst thing is when these ITK's try to back themselves up as being legit. They'll mahe a clain like "Arsenal agree fee with Dortmund". People will ask about the validity of their source. He'll say it's someone who works at Dortmund or Arsenal.

Then 20 minutes later he'll say that his sorce got his info wrong and that no agreement has been reached.

 

[Stimpy]

How come England have a shirt sponsor they don't normally do they? FA being money grabbing bastards as usual?

 

[Ashes]

I think they're to be handed over at some point

I see.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

England, who have only appeared in one international final:

'Always the bridesmaid, never the bride'

Wut? We're not Bayer Leverkusen

 

[Gareth Bale]

Can someone tell me why I just put money on England...? Decent odds, but this has draw written all over it.

 

[Bumhead]

Watching the game on the laptop while the missus has the Eurovision on telly. Best of both worlds.

GO GO EUROVISION

The only thing worse than the Mars ad is the Sharp/ITV clips. "In the playground, I thought I was John Barnes. But obviously...*looks sad, voice cracks*...I wasn't"

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Oh God, Milner's playing on the wing.

 

[Kyoufu]

Norway vs Liverpool

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Eurovision is very possible the worst thing on earth.

 

[Mastadon]

Downing making his presence felt.

 

[Bumhead]

Eurovision is very possible the worst thing on earth.

Outrageous thing to say when Stewart Downing is on the other channel.

 

[Yen]

Eurovision is very possible the worst thing on earth.

"Fuck him in the popo!"

 

[danwarb]

Eurovision is very possible the worst thing on earth.

I'll be switching over for Engelbert Humperdinck.

 

[ATF487]

big andy carroll is gonna do a goal

 

[dc89]

Downing tearing it up!

Spoiler

[LegoArmo]

Commentators are very excited.

 

[Ushojax]

How did he miss? Donkey.

 

[Empty]

downing did something good!

 

[Mastadon]

Fair play to Downing that was a decent ball in.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Fuck you guys Eurovision rules

I'll be watching just to moan about it

 

[danwarb]

Millnlol.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Calling it now, Downing-Carroll partnership will carry England during the Euros.

 

[Slizz]

Reading the posts during this England friendly is hilarious. I don't even need to watch.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Lovely by Young.

 

[LegoArmo]

Young is brilliant.

 

[D4Danger]
