Didn't really need to reply to them because your first post makes a lot of sense, probably too much sense for some. Although, you have made some really good points again with this post. and yet shankly never had any qualifications, nor clough. in quite a few walks of life doing it is the qualification...like being a footballer for example. i wonder if anyone noticed the difference in roeders management before and after gaining his qualification ? seems strange that since the qualifications came in the standard seems to have gone down and we have have a group of identikit managers.

Well that was s****, 2 seconds of f*** all. thats him time here described...what did the report say ?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6975878.ece wonder if strachan will convince him that teeside is closer to glasgow than tyneside ?

£20 on partick at 1.64. they score. lay odds drop to 1.16. lay to £20. win at least £9.60 and can't lose a penny regardless what happens.

and if anyone should know...he would.

not based on performances.

seen her better.......much better

she a maori ?

she's fit aswell and i'm not on facebook.

what does he mean when he says "I miss my family dearly, but I haven’t been home for three months and that’s because I feel so comfortable." are we talking family as in parents etc cos lets face it we all dio that...or wife ?

To do that you'd have to write something worth reading. i wonder if phil k reads sci fi ?

don't laugh at spurs..a while ago it was us. the top clubs wont do it, its a threat and nothing more that the authorities bow to. i know it happens in spain (barce, real allowed to stretch the rules) and in italy.....i wonder if it similar in germany ?

no...old and he had a poor second season. leads me to think he'd past it. very pleased to think we had his last good season the season before

Like ? shola did, jerome,harewood for a long while, macfadden,scotland,campbell,ebanks-blake etyc etc etc. thay are players i class at least alongside beckford................he may be better or worse. but don't try and make out the prem is all rooney's and drogbas.

I don't know about Frank Pingel, but Andreas Andersson wasn't unknown and he wasn't cheap and youngish young ? If you like what you saw about Beckford last night and you are confident about his ability then fair enough. I was just worried that league 1 to premiership step up is too massive - even top championship strikers have high failure rate in Premiership unless they are trully "special". lots of non special forwards survive in the prem.

it's been mentioned a couple of times on here recently in one way or another (obviously not concerning us). just wondered what others thoughts were (or more honestly...heres mine) it's a threat and nothing more. if the champs league has proved one thing it's that for the most part fans wont come out to watch euro games that mean nowt. the only euro league that would work is the champs league format we have (and i don't like.....much rather have knock out all the way through), small leagues to keep interest running alongside domestic leagues as we have now. the idea of inter v ajax sounds good but it wont pull in crowds or viewers if they are 6th and 10th and out of contention for a euro league title.

I don't know much about Beckford if I am honest, but if finishin is his best forte then I seriously don't think he will be good in the Premiership. I would personally have preferred an unknown foreigner - he is possibly cheaper, younger, and perhaps has higher potential (provided we scout properly). Bellamy was excellent but he is great at being direct and running at defenders. i liked what i saw of beckford yesterday which is to be honest the first time i've seen him play a game as opposed to highlights etc. the unknown foreigner bit has to be crap bearing in mind frank pingel, andreas andersson etc.

how do you know who james harper is ? how do you know what white loafers are ?

Should be obvious that I am not talking about the scoring, when I said top scoring Championship strikers don't typically succeed in the Premiership ? normally cos they don't get picked up by the better teams who create the most chances...andy cole done ok as did teddy shez, robbie keane and kevin philips

dont know but my guess is free more of a get rid.

is that not an achiles protector, some players prefer to where them outside of their club socks.

he falls into the "do we improve for now to get promoted" or "shouldn't we be looking for better with the possibility of being in the prem next year" as he's not a good enough defender to make up for his lack of goingforwardness (applying for a copyright on that)

which god though, he's off to a muslim country ? whatever god is listening none then.

going back to my original strategy which really worked. take singles and lay when a goal goes in if i can make a decent profit. nice couple of results today with mallorca. 30 secs after they scored i made a decent profit and couldn't lose money, likewise in the wolves gamewhom i backed with half an hour left. lost on real madrid but ended up about 5/2 on the day. also does anyone know why the italian games are kicking off very early on weds.......chievo-inter kick off at 1130.
