Took a break from my weekend excursion to watch the match in the pub. We had a good first half, Owen showed his class, and just before the second half started, the pub decided to switch over to six nations. By the time I found another pub, we were two one down, walked out after the third, and didn't find out about the fourth until this morning. I still don't know anything about the Villa goals apart from Carew's to make it 3-1. Don't know who scored them or anything.

Congrats to Geremi. I really hope the final goes well for him.

You see, I am a revolutionary figure in the English game.

The only move abroad I could accept would be a bi-annual playoff of 8 or 16 teams, based on the best performers over two seasons. Therefore league and cups are left untouched.

Put it this way, Bentley would solve our impotency on the right wing, and with him in the team, we would not need a creative central midfielder, we'd just need a good defensive midfielder to partner Barton. As such, I believe that Bentley could kill two birds with one stone, while not increasing the lightweightedness of our team.

Well I somehow end up with: 1. Arsenal 2. ManUtd 3. Chelsea 4. West Ham 5. Everton 6. Villa 7. Man City 8. Liverpool 9. Portsmouth 10 Blackburn 11. Newcastle 12. Tottenham 13. Middlesbrough 14. Sunderland 15. Wigan 16. Fulham 17. Reading 18. Bolton 19. Birmingham 20 Derby

In a nutshell, he is a pacier and more flamboyant Solano, who today proved that he can still stand out when playing alongside very good players.

:kasper:

Buy at any cost. He's worth it.

Loaned him anyway, but it was down to fitness, Capello likes a consistent defence.

Both Jose and Zog lasted the full game at left back. Spain won 2-0 with an own goal, and a goal from Spain's right winger.

I vaguely remember reading that Capello hasn't seen Upson play for West Ham. Therefore a big surprise if true.

Supposed to be finding out on the bus on the way there or something like that. Gerrard being the only one certain of starting. Not saying it's one way or another, but according to the BBC report, the press seem to have announced todays team based on the bibs players were wearing yesterday.

Enrique played for Spain U21 last night btw.

Didn't Capello say that the players would not find out his teams until the last meal before agame?

Although I like Cacapa, I dont think this is his type of game, so I'd give him a rest.

Yep, remainder of the season. I think both are still good in the right conditions, but both fade throughout matches and don't keep up with high tempo. They are both a little similar in terms of their passing range from deep, and the fact that they can take a good set piece when they are feeling sharp, with Geremi being the slightly more defensive of the two. I think Barton can complement both. Try and guess which half we need to be a little more cautious in to choose who starts. I think Butt is a '45er' as well, but his passing/ability to take a set piece is nowhere near as good.

One thing I'd like to try on a short term basis, but doubt I'll see, is a system where Emre gets 45 minutes, and Geremi gets 45 minutes, and both players are instructed to play at a higher intensity safe in the knowledge that they are playing just the 45 minutes.

The difference between various Asian nationals is very different and clear if you take time to know them.

We didnt nearly sign that twat in January, he just had a trial. Like he did at some other clubs including Pompey. That was another player.

Nah, I'mfine, I can handle it, just sleepy

I once saved a penalty saved by head coach of u17s

make out sry Gerermi is my hero. Not as bad as people make oir Make oil? Geremi isn't as bad as people who produce oil?

Gerermi is my hero. Not as bad as people make oir

probley mentioned somewere else but why were baye n faye not back on sunday but Kamara etc were? I suspect Keegan wants to check them out in training - he hardly knows them
