    The reason England won’t win the world cup is very simple.  They can not retain  possecion of the ball. They give the ball away cheaply so even if they go ahead in a game it always  the same.  They can’t get hold of the ball , when they do they bang it up the field and end up giving it back to the opposision. They then end up falling deeper and deeper into their own half.  <br>Of all the players listed as "great" players on the English team how many of them can actually go pass a player. 2 maybe 3. Even the worse players on teams like brazil can go past players at will.

    Portugal wont’ do anything. If it was the Euro’s you could make a case for them but the always seem to bottle it at the world cup.

    England fans buoyed by the weekend win over Argentina are set to stake £1.5 billion on the team winning the World Cup next summer. (The Sun)

    Easy money if your a layer on the exchange.

    England will be undone by their bigest weakness and that is the manager.

    Don’t sound so surprised Kenboy.

    I think that the spanish teams are currently looking like value.  Barcelona and Real 6/1 and 9/1 against chelsea 4/1 is a disgrace.  Spanish teams always start the season very slowly and as long as these two get through the groups, they should without a problem, then they will be great value.

    Still think Bayern,now 11/1, got a good chance.

    My Mistake DJ. Had it in my head that he’d run flat and then gone hurdles.  Didn’t realise  he had hurdled and then gone flat then back hurdle.

    Chelsea won’t get near the final. Hopefully anyway. <br>They are   a one dimensional side who play boaring football. Even their own fans won’t turn up to their games anymore.  Lucky to win all  Prem games so far . Lucky again last night.  <br>They really struggle in final 3rd and when they come up against the top sides this year they will be in trouble.<br>Momentum is begining to wain.<br>

    Bayern at 18/1 are a stand out bet for a team who make it to the latter stages year in year out. Unlucky not to get past Chelsea last year.<br>Best team in a country that will be eating breathing and sleeping football this year.

    Stand out bet.

     Market forces are dictated by demand

    Don’t forget about Supply Daily. And with petrol the  supply is finite.

    Also the idea that a hand full of e-mails can make a change is not viable.A small world economy like England can’t  effect the price of oil in the Global market , never mind  a small scale boycott at your local pump stattion.  The margin for price changes is very small. A penny here or there won’t make any difference  99% of petrol price is determined by gov taxes and wolrd prices and you won’t have any effect on either.

    If it comes down to a waiting game between the sellers of a PSP and consumers then the consumers may have a chance. Unfortunatley petrol is not in the same luxury purchase bracket as a PSP.

    Your also working of the idea that either Tesco or Esso have any desire to get into a price war over a must have product. If they don’t fold whats the worst you can do .. push your car to work?

    Regressive idea. Its  like calling on the world to devote their time to treating the symptom.

    Alternatively we could just engourage the western governemnts to invade oil rich countries to secure a cheap source of petrol for our 3 litre cars. We copuld shave a couple of farthings for at least another 10 years.

    The sooner the world deals with its oil dependancy the better.

    The Growth of  China’s economy is the main reason for the growth in the price of oil. China has 1/6 of the worlds population and beside the production side of the economic growth which needs fuel one of the main causes is that they are all buying cars now.<br>China’s thirst for oil is also one of  the main reason’s  that America went into Iraq to secure the supply and due to recent cooperation between Venezuela and China that high profile people in America believe its time to get rid of Chavez.(not in the nice way)<br>Boycot or no Boycot oil prices are going to continue to rise. Its a non renewable source of energy. The only real answer is to build good  public transport systems <br>and use eco friendly renewable sources of energy.

    A bit of forward practical thinking wouldn’t go astray. What are the odds that were going to get that from the current crop.

    Keep going back Minitser Blair. In 1953 the CIA / British intlegence Led a military coup against the democratically elected prime minister Mohammed Mossedeq  after he attempted to nationalise Irans oil fields…………………………….

    Yes there is a history to the middle east/Europe / USA Minister Blair but it goes much further back than  your current " they bombed us for no reason on 9/11 " argument

    Are you gay Nixer? Im not.

    I’m not sure how you would define being gay. You say your not but sit around thinking about men having anal sex so I’m a little bit unsure of your definition base.
