England kit is launched at 3pm this afternoon. Video here: http://www.umbro.com/#/?country=EN&page=process&section=video_1 about the new crest!

But didn't Taylor identify the players, Clough signed and coached them. Massive shame that they fell out and didn't speak before Taylor died, they were probably the best ever manager-assistant manager combination ever.

I'm hoping that the 'squad is great' comments are all an attempt at encouragement and false praise. Cos if they seriously think it is we're going down. If not this season then next!

Yeah but he's saying that's just our league like that. Barca - Real, Juve - Inter - Milan, Lyon - Lyon...every fucker's the same. He's just a kiddy fiddling racist.

Eto'o in the crowd at Eastlands apparently!!

And to think Vassell has been playing ahead of Elano this season!

Would have liked to have seen us go in for Barnes, as someone said above very little risk involved and I'm almost sure he's destined for bigger and better things than Fulham.

Fucking hope not, him and Nolan in the middle looks good any way you look at it!!

I think it's been due to his passion and fight Don't other clubs have players with passion and fight who actually play quite a few games for their clubs? I don't remember Roy Keane missing many games. I really don't see how you can blame Barton? BReaking a metatarsal is a completely freakish injury and could happen to any player at any time. It's not like he's got weak feet!!

One of the better refs tbh but not that it'll have any effect on us as he can't take charge of any of our games. Miles better than fucking Rob 'I love the limelight' Styles, cunt!

Not good enough, hope to god he doesn't get the #1 shirt!

Here's a letter me mate had published on football365.com today, spot on in my eyes!! Is He Above Criticism? Wow, last night's game was a real hum dinger wasn't it - no thanks to Tottenham Hotspur. They didn't turn up, their players to a man had an absolute Weston Super Mare and once again Harry is in the papers moaning about just about everything apart from his own tactics and game plan (or lack of...) When he took over he inherited a 'decent squad' of players in his own words. Since then his Spurs side went on a decent run but have since slumped and are still well and truly in the mire. They scraped through to the Milk Cup final last night and Harry is all over the papers this morning saying that he won't play his best players on Saturday because he can't risk them - he's basically saying "sod the FA Cup". And there was naive old me thinking it was just the foreign managers who did the historic trophy down. He, his son and his cohorts (Tim Sherwood, Sir Les etc etc) are the first ones to slag off any foreign manager that rests players in the FA Cup, saying they don't understand the British game or the passion and history of the cup. Yet there's no criticism of him today in the papers for admitting he's going to throw Saturday's game against Man U. Neither is there any widespread criticism of him for the shocking way they are playing football at the moment, the mediocre results he's achieving or the ludicrous amounts of cash he's lashing out left right and centre on players. It seems Redknapp himself is above criticism. Bah, I'm rambling a bit here. I just wanted to vent my spleen I suppose. Harry is not the best English manager around. He is not a man that runs a club on a shoestring budget and achieves amazing results - he's a decent man manager that splashes the cash and achieves below par results. And he has a tendency to walk when things get tough. If he was your average Carlos Kick a Ball, the media would be all over this. But as we all know, Harry is a media darling (of sorts) - he scratches their backs with stories and stuff and in return he has a get out of jail free card that means he's immune from negative press coverage. And to boot, he looks like a celeriac. Mike 'Safe to say I'm not Harry's biggest Fan' N'gog

He's still shite!!!

Don't know if I'm allowed to start these.....but fuck it!!! Full game is being shown on Setanta 1 at 7.30pm.

Unfortunately not. He could play even worse then yesterday and still not getting taken off or dropped. Which is a shame cos he's utter dog shit but manager just don't seem to see this!

Howay then, new kit's out soon. Time for a few mock-ups using current Adidas templates methinks

Load of bollocks. He doesn't particularly like football, he only does it cos he is good at it. He'll wait until his contract is up and wait for whoever offers him the most money. That way he can make as much as possible for when he retires and takes up the one thing he loves...horse racing!!

Going to the People according to my mate who spoke to him at a work do up in Allensford at the weekend. Last game will be Liverpool.

Was gonna say? Was he a Wise/Jimenez/Veteres signing?

'What a fucking finish!!!!'

Think if he had Barton alongside him rather than Butt he'd develop a whole lot faster, definitely got potential.

Spot on. Why we would revert back to anyone else is beyond me. So expect Charlie/Duff/whoever back on them next week

Was going beserk at him in the first half today. Gave possession away far too easily on too many occasions but after his shot was saved it seemed to spring him into life and he had a cracking second half.

Thread title needs amending TBH!!!
