Are you serious? You'd have brought Aquilani on for Bennie?

Hear hear

His 'poor tactics and team selections'? Does this mean that if he had chosen different tactics and different team line-ups we would have done better?

Is this Anny Road from YNWA?

Tuskers? Are you a Kenyan-Newfie? :D Would be my pleasure, mate ....

I took the article at face value and I know that "sleeping pills" generally refers to tranquilizers that lead to a chenical dependency and grogginess. And you must admit Alonso hasn't looked himself for over a month.

No idea. This article is the first I've heard of it.

Another narcotics-addicted pinhead :)

Well, sometimes melatonin, a natural hormone, is referred to as a 'sleeping pill'. However, generally, the term is used for benzodiazepines and barbiturates, neither of which have any place in the body of a professional athlete, short-term or otherwise. It's a misnomer to call them sleeping pills . . . they put you into a drug-induced stupor rather than promoting restful sleep.

What the hell is Rafa doing giving our squad "sleeping pills"? The man may be a genius in every other respect, but getting our playmaker addicted to benzodiazepines is incredibly stupid. These drugs should be banned, not encouraged. What next, put our players on morphine every time they feel a twinge?

Where did this figure come from?

If Eriksson is involved he is not going to last until the World Cup.

Just a gut feeling, but I think missing out on the CL is messing with Moro's head somewhat.

Was a Claudio signing

And to think I was defending this joker as probably a naive foreign student! An immature English git, more like. He may be Ahmed but he sure ain't Loaded.
