It worked for the one time and one time only. And Fergie used that trick 20 years before him. The poor imitation was only used to awe unsuspecting Americans not into football into the 'Liverpool way' but it's a highly embarrassing episode to us educated football fans. It's like watching a trick on Breaking the Magician's Code then seeing someone trying to impress with the same trick.

Where he made 11 changes and the captaincy changed several times (Heskey was one of the captains iirc)?

FYP.

Now come back and destroy Norwich.

Even if they raise their game by some 10% just to increase their chances of a plane ticket to Brazil, I very much welcome that.

They are, after all, not Indomitable Monkeys. (no racism intended)

We could do with every bit of motivation and performance boost trying to get into the WC squad does.

France 1-0, Sakho.

One of their very first piece of news. Was likely used to gauge the hits it generated and to put the SDnews name into the public domain. I wouldn't read too much into the 'reliability' of their reporting with that article.

Arsenal Tula.

Not getting always for cheap. He was going to Hull for ~£6m last summer until talks collapsed very late into the window.

Nah, I think he genuinely believes it. He's off the chart when it comes to self-confidence.

'Saved' from a playoff match for a friendly.

Nigeria just scored. Shola is not even in the matchday squad today.

vdV 1-0.

Netherlands v Japan. Cillessen starts. Krul on the bench.

Jérémy Ménez? Out of favour at PSG and last year of contract. Documented attitude problems though plus likely on big wages as well.

Plausible idea. You have to wonder if Cisse is still highly regarded in Germany.

Good point. My bad, should have made it clearer.
