As I always said about Pimmy:
Give him an inch, and he'll take a 'Mile'

If only you could score as many goals as you do crack jokes.

[ryan]

I promise to maintain a 1:1 goal to joke ratio in the 08-09 season. Which means it will be raining jokes on this forum come v4

Pim whispered to me that he only included Adam G-banger to piss off Joelly

That is reassuring to know

Ahh k i just looked it up, if we finish 1st or 2nd we progress to stage four. Then if we finish 1st or 2nd in our 5 team group we progress. And if we finish 3rd, we play of with the other 3rd placed team, similarly to our play off for last cup.

Joining the Asian zone has made it a shit load easier to qualify by the looks of it.

Funny

Good point why leave out Troisi

 

[fish]

I thought the same, the boy has more potential than Bridge and I have only seen him play 3 or 4 times! He just looks likely to create something when he has the ball.
If we dont have a better defender than A Griffiths anywhere in the world, well they havent looked hard enough ffs.

 

[fish]

I guess the consolation for me is now him and gollom have been chosen they may head to Europe or somewhere to continue to be in the frame for national team honours.

Great news that Jedinak got through to the final squad for the WCQ vs. China. GO MILE!!

Good backup for Culina and Grella I reckon.
