Can anyone tell me how come certain sections (that'll be the ESL then) found it necessary to boo Rio Ferdinand, yesterday? Quite simply because he is a completely dislikeable twa.t. Is that a good enough reason? Only if you're shallow enough. But if the cap fits! :roll: Shallow enough? To dislike R...

I realise he has ruled himself out, but I reckon Allardyce would take the job if the FA offered it to him. I'm not surprised that a man of his ego has decided against wearing his heart on his sleeve this time round, and as we all know, it would do him no favours with the Geordies if he did. With Mo...

Your disclaimer is laughable TD. You're basically saying "I'm not racist, but...." which is an embarrassing and common tactic of mild racists. Did you really need to mention the ethnicity of the perpetrator? He merely says the perpetrator is of "foreign extraction". In most cases this would be unne...

Oh, and as for Allardyce's record at Newcastle - he's had 12 games to deal with Newcastle's expectations and he's only 5 points off the European spot. Surely it's too early to take much from what he's done there, especially seeing as he's a long-term project kind of guy. I agree with you there mate...

Good Old Milan
Seems like Milan has "poached" Holloway from Plymouth.
Holloway resigned yesterday.
Tapped up?????
Double standards?

Problems came from all angles last night, BWFCi, but one of them was definitely the formation. We'll have to agree to differ on this one. I thought the problems stemmed for abject performances across the pitch from our players. Oh I agree with that. But I think a major contributory factor was the f...

Can't see it. Trying a new formation against Croatia didn't work out too well last time, he's at home in front of a newly-expectant audience, we need to win (although a draw would do, playing for draws isn't England's strong suit), Darren Bent has been called up and I can't think of a single game w...

You need a culture of the good getting through for the excellent to emerge. And for the good to get through you need a culture of developing the promising. There is a real difficulty in England-qualified players getting through. There is a higher proportion of home-grown players in the italian and ...

There are no serious British contenders for the next manager, and that is a really serious comment on the domestic game. There are only about 50 England-qualified players playing in the Prem most weekends - and none of any note playing abroad. That is an even more serious comment on the domestic ga...

And they asked Jol aswell. Say what you like about Gartside ambition, despite having approaches turned down left, right and centre, our search for a new boss looks practically dignified in comparison. In what way? If you're going to get snubbed, you might as well get snubbed by someone decent. Aye ...

Even Mourinho can only pick from a squad of shite though. Look how well Ericksson has done now he doesn't have to pick England players. Oh for goodness sake. England have an absolutely quality squad, but the manager doesn't know how to use them. He's scared to drop one of Lampard/Gerrard who simply...
