He must be hiding out on the arsenal sub forum- he's written a few books:

Sky sports have rather interestingly highlighted our most probable route if we were to make the World Cup Final/3rd place playoff.

in that case he's obviously off his chops..

I'm happy with 4th. No one expected Turkey to come 3rd in the 2002 WC, No one expected South Korea to do well. Anything is possible.

And even if we somehow claimed the runner up spot in our group we would probably meet the Dutch, who you feel will almost certainly win their group, in the last 16.
Unless Xavier thinks we'll win our group.

I hate to get over confident but we will won't we? Italy arent the team they were ...Slovakia arent as good as Slovenia and we were robbed against them.....a point should do against Paraguay.....

Does this mean that the Rainbow Warrior and the 'Hand of Frog' are now forgiven, at least by White Noise/YF?

So clearly deluded he is.
Having lived up the road from Arsenal for 10 years, must say NZ play a lot like Arsenal. Heavy defence and quick pass through/header attack, move forward en masse etc.
