There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

So you should.

Don't say it too loudly, his failings smell of BWFC-signing material.

Of all Liverpool's players, I can only think of two that would get in the starting XI at Man U or Chelsea. None of their other players would even make the Chelsea bench. Look at their strikers. Crouch, Kuyt and Voronin might not even make the bench at Tottenham FFS.

You do know that in two months time Crouch will be wearing a Bolton Shirt, don't you?

He'd be great for a side aiming for mid-table medicority. But for a team with (however unrealistic) championship ambitions? Tee-hee.

own views on the whole thread are. forget rijkard as manager. grant was treated shoddily given that he got three runners up medals, but the CL he went further than any other chelski manager, the PL im sorry but the position he took over in, rene sodding michelic wouldnt have won it! god help whoever comes in, yet i cant think it bad for bwfc. the more foreign clubs there are surviving on debts, and still the same amount of uefa places and trophies, tiss all good for bwfc.

Observer yesterday has the possibilty of Mourinho returning. Allegedly Abrahmovich bought him a Ferrari a couple of months ago ($2m is a p*ss in the wind to the Oligarch mind...), and has their relationship as 'thawing'.

Make of that what you will... :conf:

today he's ruled out a return.


also, it was suggested in an interview on R5 yesterday that Ambramovich has been faxing the team through to Grant.

Congratulations, you have cleverly devised that 11th-place Tottenham have a better strike force than supposed championship contenders Liverpool. Now . . . try to stay with me here . . . does that make Benitez a good manager? Or a bad manager?

Is Berbatov as good a striker as Torres? Not far off. Is Keane as good as Crouch? Easy peasy. You're idea that Spuds finished 11th due to their lack of a poorer attack rather than a poorer defence is very weak.

Its easy to sit on the fence on this one....

Spurs are sh*t AND Benitez is a prick.

This suggests to me that the announcement of the new manager and his backroom team is pretty imminent.
