James

Explain? He's pretty much laid into his England record, accused him of being a long ball merchant, blamed him for an injury to Bryan Robson, and brought up several bust-ups that have long been forgotten.

One of the journalist old guard has decided to stick his boot in. Brian Glanville, hang your head in shame. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6736007.ece?token=null&offset=0&page=1

No. My bad. Sorry.

Sorry I thought it must have been on SSN given how simultaneous it was!

Serious? Well about four people posted that simultaneously on chat, I'm awaiting confirmation.

We've signed Beckford

I knew this was a defeat the moment Nixon said Ukraine would be easy.

Just to clarify, in case you missed the edit: If you did it last year, it has kept the old fantasy league online, BUT the code has changed and it was being administered by a BANNED member, so we can't get the new code, so if you could please join the new one so that new members can participate.

Code is: 740667-156145

OK, I'll create a new N-O league so anyone can join.

My team is Cech, A Cole, Baines, Hangeland, Upson, Konchesky, Barry, Valencia, Neville, Dyer, Muamba, Robinho, Adebayor, Owen.

Some people may want to do this. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ If you did it last year, it has kept the old fantasy league online, BUT the code has changed and it was being administered by a BANNED member, so we can't get the new code, so if you could please join the new one so that new members can participate. 740667-156145

I have a feeling this could be game of the Vuckic. Formation has been set up such that there is a man in his favoured free role position, I can see him coming on and giving some food for thought.

Nah, its more just the fact that a lot of things are starting to fit. But we are actually going to need to finish the jigsaw to know more.

Left out again I see

451 shirley?

Were Keegan Ashley Wise and Llambias having a DNA test to see who fathered Xisco or something?

Glen Johnson is a very good player these days to be honest.

When considering his valuation, I think it is highly questionable as to whether he was actually any good, or whether he was just a better player in a shite team. Comparing him to Martins though, he's worth at least £88m.

Well as quite a few have pointed out, Shearer didn't really like Martins, but he liked Bassong and Beye.

Is Vuckic back in England? We should be giving him 30 mins just to give him a little experience and to see how ready he is for this level.

I think the money is going to service/payoff the overdraft.

I wouldn't give Taylor the armband, that would just increase his motivation to charge around with his Hollywood defending, exposing the others. Taylor needs to get that experience to know he needs to cool off at times before he gets the arm band. Pointless talking about captaincy now while it is all up the air. I'd use Harper as an interim tbh, hard to offend him when the manager comes in and decides he prefers an outfield player to be captain.
