Phoenix

I think it is pretty spot.....makes a change from the gushing articles about stability and exactly what we needed about the apppointment.

That independent article sums up my feelings

Its done...we cant do anything more about it...apart from force a sale of the club....(even then we are hoping for a some rich billionnaire). We are stuck in this nightmare for a while.

Errr they are making millions of pounds in interest payments from the club. The club is still worth a lot more in income and assets than the loan.

Whats the odds on Villlascoring anytime for the Spain?

I really dont think he has the physical attributes to play centre mid in the premierleague. Would love to be proven wrong

a see the yanks here for a few years...unfortunately...unless the protests affect their pockets

That was one of the reasons the badge was changed as the previous couldnt be.

Errr no they dont...

How about Chile...they have done relatively well...and produce some great players

Argentina ...population of 40 million?

I'm glad they are out..so boring Dunga can get the sack and they can start playing attractive football again.

Gyan cost Ghana not Suarez.

Hedging bets i guess....thats what most of them do.

or football isnt broken....the lesser teams have just become tactically aware.

Benitez had to go but i was hoping he club would be a bit more ambitious. Why get the best available? whats this all about steadying the ship(the two morons at the helm are the ones cuasing the problems)? Respectful and dignified he may be, aswell as being press friendly...the first press conference sounds like a man...hoping rather than expecting. Then again the premiership doesnt seem to require huge amount of tactical nous (just look at whiskey nose) and with lifting of expectation he might suprise us all.

Three "number 10s" in one team...trying to fit all three of them of in the team somehow in hindsight seems a huge error. The problem on top of that who actually plays instead of these players? the likes of Carrick? are they good enough..i dont think so.

you can talk systems ..you can talk tactics...being overun in midfield ..but you can t legislate for idiotic defending from terry and upson.

I didnt think he looked that great in the world cup or the african cup before it

Are there any good English holding midfield players?

Lack of Carra's pace would have all sorts of other problems

Just aswell Carrra wasnt playing in the game today

Thats because they cant think...it would require them having a brain...Just look at mongo for all of the goals for germany.

Lets be honest...Gerrard...spent most of the game in the drifting in anyway Gerrard behind Rooney wouldnt have made any difference

Upson .. Terry... Barry... Johnson ..useless Capello will get blamed...even though players have been shite
