    Had a dream the other night we lost 2-3 in Dublin and drew 2-2 over there.

    Though the same night I dreamt a pals ex was out on the landing and I was genuinely afraid to go out for a whizz so I haven't read a great deal into it.

    Believe.

    Unfortunately I think the French will have too much for us over two legs. If it was a one-off game I think we'd have a chance, but the best side always wins over two legs. I'd feel more confident if we had a natural left back playing instead of Kilbane, as I feel the French will definitely expose him at some point. I know we haven't got many options in this area but if Finnan was fit and O'Shea at left back I'd feel happier. I also worry about the fact that we rely heavily on our wingers for creativity, and France may nullify this due to having excellent full backs in Sagna and Evra.

    The major concern I have with Ireland is that we'll lack the belief that we can beat the French over two games. This is why I think it was so important to beat the Italians at Croke Park. We were never going to win the group as Italy were always going to beat Cyprus, but it would have given us the belief that we can actually beat one of the top nations in a competitve game. We have not beaten any top nation in a qualifier since 2001 so it's hard to understand people's confidence on here. A 1-0 win in Croke Park is essential to give us any chance in Paris. God knows I hope I'm wrong but if we beat the French over two legs it will surpass any of our previous achievements.

    Well I also had a dream that involved us leading 1-0 at half time in Dublin but us then winning the first leg 7-3 (!) overall. I spent the second half in a cramped room with a small window looking out onto the pitch.

    In short, don't read too much into your dreams.

    Sounds like it may have been deppending where he "whizzed".

    No sh!tting here, but about 2 weeks ago I had a dream of France scoring two in rapid succession within the first twenty minutes or so...don't know if we scored four in the second half of my dream though!

    Just looking at the odds for France to qualify, they are almost exactly the same price as Liverpool are to beat Birmingham today.

    Speaking of which I had a dream a few weeks ago of us winning in Paris after a draw in Dublin with an amazing performance when nobody gave us a hope.

    Arsenal have been conceding a few this season. More than (or the same as) Chelsea, United, Villa, Fulham, Birmingham and City. They have been a bit weak at the back although maybe largely down to not playing a strong defensive midfielder.

    I agree, def the area of the field where we can exploit and set pieces too. I think we are at a par with Romania if not better and their two games were score draws.

    Gallas should certainly be targeted, Arsenal are conceding alot this year and I think Vermalen has made Gallas look better than he actually is. Wouldnt it be sweet to see Gallas lose the plot again in paris!!

    1-0 victory for us in Croker. Liam Lawrence free kick after 16 minutes. Constant pressure for us afterwards.
    2-1 defeat in Paris. Concede two goals in the first half an hour. Trap works his magic. Leon Best scores in the 81st minute. Cue 15 minutes of severe squaky bum time where we even clear off the line.

    i dreamt a couple of nights ago that Leon Best scored to make it 1-1 in Paris. I dont know what that meant for qualification because before long i was on a magic carpet flying over London showering the city with cream cakes.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Okay I know some of these players don't play with France but any French international defender/goalkeeper involved in this match looks suspecting after this scoreline:

    Maybe we can take advantage of this

    Bonsoir.

    Well,
    - we have good players
    -but we have also the most incompetent (he has never won A SINGLE trophy during his carrier) and loony human coach on earth(although sometimes this ridiculous guy can be so funny, we've got lots of very laughin stories about him)
    -we dont have supporters (especially at Paris)
    -we love to be proud of our defeats

    -Your players are techincally limited but brave
    -Your coach is a genius
    -Your supporters are like a green tide with high waves.

    I wish a France's victory. 0-0 at Croke Park and 1-0 at Stade de France. I even hope of crazy match with 4 goals in a stadium in fusion (I'm waiting so long to watch a fuc***g France's match with thrills on my back and rage on my heart. ..arggggh . Maybe the nov 18 , who knows??)

    But if Eire score only one goal at Paris I think it will be over for us.

    Finally ..we would be forever rid of Domenech, that will be not so bad.
