Saw a brilliant pic of the lord of the rings poster adapted for return of king kenny- anyone got a url with it on? It was in a magazine and I want it digitally...

Good detective work guys. What would you have said if he'd been straight up?

Sounds like a great idea to me- subjectivity requires excellent judgment and this usually goes to pot when a new manager takes over and wants to bring their own players. Sabermetrics will enable us to identify effective players in different price bands. This can then be assessed against asking price to maximise the effects of any money spent. It also means we'll have a constantly improving team, in terms of quality and price PROVIDED THAT the statistical analysis offers a suitable weighting to each measured stat. Sure, football's more open, however, certain stats are always relevant, eg pass completion rates and fitness assessment data.

Balls out the bag Paddy. Let's have it!

Laudrup was class. Better than Platini/ Beckenbauer? Romario was a great player. Remember him jumping in crowd to start a fight in Brazil some years back!

Thought about Best too. My question is this: Do the Spaniards think he's great? The Dutch? The Argentinians? Or is it a British thing? Crap at most teams post Utd too- only half decent in USA- how hard was that?

In honour of Maradona- who'd be in your top 5 players of all time. Put them on order if you can too. With reasons. Here's mine: 1. Maradona- amazing ability, very successful and created absolute fervour everywhere he went- nicknamed King of the Carpethians during his time at Napoli for example. 2. Cruyff- complete footballer, skill, technique, vision, creativity and success. Loveable rogue seemed to have a bit of an attitude problem too which somehow goes in his favour. 3. Zidane- as Cruyff. Would he be more or less of a legend without Materazzi incident? 4. Beckenbauer- such a range of passing and ability to control a game. 5. Platini- incredible passer, great dead ball specialist and a tremendous goalscoring ratio at the highest level. No Pele. Football was less organised then and he never played in any of the world's top leagues- against the best defences. Check out some of the sides Brazil played at the World Cups too. Dear oh dear.

Be. More. Specific?

How long's left? We in stoppage time yet?

Shelvey looked great in Italy for me. Composed, always seemed to have time and space on the ball (sign of a good player for me)

Great tag!

What do you mean? Not being funny, just asking :) (thehowielama)

These posts are making me feel panicky

Is right. Lose the agenda- assess the facts. If Hodgson's not right, he'll lose his position anyway sooner or later- we've no need to hope for defeat! If we win, maybe we're seeing signs that he's good enough in which case we should be happy with the patience and confidence shown.

Funny if you're one of those half time tossers that return 10 mins late!
