[quote user="nutty nigel"]Thanks Jools. But I think you''ll find winky''s below me. Unless he was here just to heckle.... He''d make a cracking Mother-In-Law...[/quote]Just you concentrate on your selections, nigel - may I suggest you throw caution to the wind by picking some underdogs and fly up the league [;)]

No change at the top nor bottom with HairyCanary leading the charge and nuttynigel footing the whole league, but quite a few switches ''twixt Premier & Championship: PREMIER DIVISION Hairy Canary -- 12ptsLessingham Canary -- 12ptsHector Brockelbank -- 11ptsJools -- 11ptsAJ --     10.5ptsHissing Sid -- 10.5ptspaul moy -- 10.5ptsTettey''s Jig -- 10.5pts CHAMPIONSHIP Katie Borkins -- 10ptsSwindonCanary -- 10ptsFuzzar -- 9.5ptsLord Horn (again) -- 9.5ptsParma Ham''s gone mouldy -- 9.5ptsZippersLeftFoot -- 9ptsThe Walking Man -- 8.5ptsnutty nigel -- 6pts  Coming up, the Round of 16  [Y]

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Well o''neill should obviously be more passionate managing them on a big stage rather than Alex Neil is managing us week in week out.... But is he?[/quote]Your guess is as good as mine, nigel [{]

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Well he certainly played left back in the earlier games! Really proud of them both and all our players at the tournament. The moaning about Alex Neil on this thread and the moaning about the quality of our squad on others is ridiculous. I can never remember us having so many players at a tournament. And performing well. I can never remember us having so many international players. The idea that our club doesn''t progress is shown up by the continual improvement in quality over the last 5/6 years.[/quote]Nigel - Brady & Hoolahan are naturally going to be more passionate about playing for their country on the big stage than playing for NCFC week in week out - the question as to whether O''Neil is a better manager than Neil comes into the equation matters not a jot.Am I correct?

It''s late and I''m three parts to the wind, fellas - we have a two day break alas, and I will duly update the tables tomorrow [Y]

[quote user="Ron Manager"]History apart, Germany hold a less of a fear factor than in previous years. They have looked very ordinary,a dull draw v Poland and a 1-0 victory against NI, and a poor 2nd half showing in that game. Bring em on, we got to beat the best to be the best! Worry about our defence though![/quote]Ron, Germany are merely cantering - they''re going to win this f*cker hands down [:(]

[quote user="Ron Manager"]Super Wes to win it for Ireland?[/quote]YEEEESSSSS!!!!! [:D][:D][:D] THE OTHER CITY BOY!!!

[quote user="Ron Manager"]Super Wes to win it for Ireland?[/quote]I''d love for that [Y]
