No mention of goal line technology.

Looks like a documentary then analysis. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10108721/monday-night-football-1966-special-on-sky-sports Shame. Would love them to try and cover up how crap it was after the full 120mins

Are they honestly going to do the full 'Jamie Carragher points obvious stuff out with the help of an oversized touchscreen and some arrows' thing with it? That's what the advert seemed to suggest

Think Dummett style passing out of touch.

I'd be an upgrade on Colback Agree Edit: Agree with the two CM point also.

I don't think he has attacking drive or a good engine on him. He averages 5-6 goals a season playing in teams far better than ours which for an attacking midfielder isn't anything special. I do like certain aspects of his game but just fear he is already in a team better suited to him (possession based as opposed to occasional quick attacking thrusts) Not sure why we see things so differently regarding attacking drive and engine, every time I've watched him he's got the ball and moved it forward. Focal point for driving things onwards. He's mobile and chases things down all game. To say he doesn't have attacking drive or a good engine seems odd to me. He's hardly a huffing and puffing shy player who passes sidewards all game. 5-6 goals per season is fine, he may get more in a different system that takes more chances than sitting on the ball for lengthy spells. I see the purpose of signing him as giving us a reason to change style. We play as we do because we can't control the game from the centre at all, putting Shelvey in there gives us a chance of having someone hold on to it and use it well. Also gives more life to however sits beside him. Do you think he'd come here and be useless and not improve us? If your meaning of attacking drive is he looks to pass forward then fair enough. Mine is someone who carries the ball quickly past players which I don't think he does as he's very one paced. As for engine yes he can last a game but I'd describe having a good engine as someone covering the whole pitch at high speed which I don't think he's ever done. He'd be a small improvement due to our sluggish forward line but for the Fee+Wages and it's true that anyone coming in January has to be costed for with an outgoing then realistically you are looking at losing Sissoko or Perez which I'd prefer we kept.

So Sky are showing the 66 World Cup Final as the MNF game? Should be fun. Was an absolutly woeful game of football.

I like him as player as I admire players with a true eye for a defence splitting pass. I just don't think he'd fit in our team. We need power/pace in CM (and CD). JJS isn't athletic enough without the ball which he'd have to get used to.

You reckon? I think he'd be a disaster. Too one paced for our team. Suites Swansea's pass and move. He'd be forced to go sideways and backwards with this squad.

Ouch

If we can just get to HT 0-0 11v11

Cleared one off the line if that counts

I'd say yes they could.

The LVG stare at the end of the interview isn't getting enough love in here.

Down to 2 cards received this year... Don't think it's a charity thing either Merry Christmas peeps... Love you all

What's the answer to .Com 's quiz for the iPad? Surprisingly stumped.

January 16th or 18th iirc. You will find out if successful Feb. Then public resale start March I think. Tickets sent out April I think.

Says the same for me for the Nice games. Odd. Probably a con trick to force the less educated to choose higher category (I'm hoping!) My ID is 116421541 if you want to end up near us! And swap any spares if any come about.

First time round only got 4tks x1 game from 8 games. Turns out its England v Russia. Just applied for 2 more games in Nice and another in Marseille. Fingers crossed. Seem to be restricted view tickets for most the games I'm applying for which is odd considering the 2 stadiums?

Really? On it. Who's offering that?
