Will watch it, but like Newcastle, England frustrate the hell out of me.
The eldest has lived through a few world cups, but the South Africa tournament was the first he can remember - he was only 1 and 5 for the others.
The excitement and anticipation he had was destroyed by England being sh!t.

Brazil have to be favourites, but the tournament wont run smoothly.

I know what you mean about having a rubbish coach on long journeys. Last year, I went to Silverstone on one of those Newmarket Holidays and we ended up on one of Lee's of Durham's Van Hool Eos'. It was boiling hot and the air con was broken. Absolutely painfully ridiculously horrible

Coach allocation email came just now.
Hopefully you have yours too.

I think your right there mate, Brazil are like Footballs version of the New Zealand All Blacks, not so good on foreign soil, but should be dominant at home...

But, never play the chances of the Germans, Spanish, Italians or Dutch...

I am going for a Brazil v Spain final

As for it not running smoothly, I honestly dont know how it can run at all, some of the stadia are nowhere complete, it should have been taken away from them at least a year ago, the problems they have had have been well documented for ages now. Not to mention the internal problems the country has been having with rioting and protests as well. But nothing can be done about it now, it is only just over 3 weeks away...

I am also not fussed about England these days, after 25 years being served with shite, I have had enough, I am very passionate and patriotic, I love my country to death, but when 11 footballers do piss all for us, then that is the point I give up on them. England have not had a good team since Sir Bobbys team in 1990 and right now I cant see another team being as good as them, better players individually, but as a collective there a pile of steaming shite!!!!!

The climate, home support, talent and previous tournament experience should stand them in good stead.
I fancy Belgium and a couple of South American teams to do well and get to semi's - saying that, that is without looking at fixtures/groupings.

The whole stadium thing is a farce. It seems like a poor construction worker is killed every week.
No idea what will happen during the tournament, but I foresee an 'incident' too big for FIFA to cover up!

I think it will come in the form of a protest or riot, not a very good mix where there could be football fans, we all know the English will not back down, nor the Germans or Dutch, I can just see a lot of civil unrest around the world cup, I really hope I am wrong though.

Belgium have a hell of a team and are definately dark horses going into the Tournament, also people have been talking about Bosnia as a possible surprise package. Uruguay are also a decent side with the likes of Suarez and Edinson Cavani, I dont know much about the Argentines, but it is near home for them, so they could be there or there abouts, I dont know what African teams are involved, but they always spring a surprise

Maybe he is doing it in batches.
It came from Bernie Williams work account - rather than a club account, but the supporters club were cc'd in.
Give me a shout tomorrow if you haven't heard anything - the earlier the better and I will give you the addreses.

Bernard is the chairman of the Supporters Club, and does organise all the travel for away games. As you can imagine though, for this occasion he's had a lot of help. Thanks for the offer, but my Dad already has his number so he'll give him a ring if he hasn't heard anything Smile

No worries, as long as you have something and can get sorted

I did not watch it, but heard Arsenal were 2 down in 15 minutes, do Hull have only themselves to blame for losing or did Arsenal pile the pressure on later in the fame...

To the lads going to Wembley tomorrow, best of luck, hopefully you will be coming home as the North Easts latest representatives in the League...

Whatever happens, Gateshead can hold there heads high and be proud of themselves, they were heading nowhere but down under Anth Smith, whatever happens, as long as the lads put a decent shift in everything shoukd be good Big Grin

A bit of both. Hull had some decent openings but they kept bottling it whereas Arsenal continued to push and push out of frustration.

I saw the last 3/4 minutes, the cup engraver was tempting fate a bit engraving Arsenal into it before the final whistle, would have been funny if Hull went onto win...Olupo(sic?) should have got a better angle or passed for that open goal when Fabianski was caught in no mans land...

As for tomorrow, cant wait for it, not a Gateshead fan, but I have a lot of respect for Gary Mills, Gateshead deserve it, I can give 54 reasons why they deserve it...It is not only Gateshead who will benefit, but it is good for the North East, the more North East teams in the football league, the better, I want one day to see a division that contains Darlington, Gateshead, York, Scarborough, Halifax, Carlisle and although it will probs never happen, $p£ndymor£ Town as well Big Grin
