Where now for Everton? 8:43pm on 26 Nov 2009 The answer?

Share a stadium with Liverpool.

1 Neither team can afford to go alone.
2 Both need a new bigger ground.
3 Gives the city a stadium to be proud of.

Each team has opposite ends of the ground as their "home" end.

To the rest of us uou're all scousers FFS!!!

Share a stadium.

Do yourselves proud!
Time to play England's 2018 trump card 10:19am on 26 Nov 2009 Only ONE city can have TWO venues.

So if London has Wembley and Emirates - that's it.

No other city can have TWO venues. And London cant have THREE.
Benitez under spotlight after Champions League exit 3:07pm on 25 Nov 2009 Phil, You were brave enough to say, without equivocation, that you fancied Liverpool to win the title this year.

Brave enough to now take that back? Cuz they're not going to. Again.
Will South Africa 2010 produce a new Pele? 10:49am on 24 Nov 2009 It has been mentioned.

If you want a good world cup, you need heat and sun. And, preferably, high altitude.

Otherwise, it's all about physical strength and not about skill.
Review of the week 8:39pm on 20 Nov 2009 Now, you've got a choice.

Stick your hand on that, and help set up a goal which gets your country to the World Cup finals. And gets you to your last finals too.

Or. You can "play fair". And not handle it.

Who on earth would chose that second option?
Reading's Alex Pearce - the new John Terry? 10:07am on 31 Oct 2009 Reading over-achieved to get to the PL and that has, unfortunately, raised some fans expectations far too high.

But, having said that, they are too big a club to be struggling at the bottom of the Championship. They should be comfortable in mid-table.

You have to look at the owner to see why it is that they are not where they should be.
Capello's World Cup contenders 8:24pm on 15 Oct 2009 "As nine wins out of ten qualifiers established a solid platform for England's bid to win the World Cup in South Africa next summer".

----

Wot say?

Those very good 9/10 wins will have precious little influence on the WC next summer.

Anyone who gets there - no matter how narrow or poor their route - starts with a tabula rasa (a clean slate).

Very well done England. Very well done Capello.

NOW THE HARD WORK BEGINS.
Hiddink's Russian revolution still on track 8:26pm on 13 Oct 2009 Surely the European groups are self-seeding?

Whoever finished best of the runners-up is 1 seed. 2nd best is 2nd seed and so on.

Oh, hang on, that might mean that France have to play Russia and the French connection dont want that to happen...
Maradona singing in the rain 8:38pm on 12 Oct 2009 It's always a bad sign when a gaffer plays 4-3-3

It means you are going to lose the midfield. And so lose possession. And - more often than not - lose the game.

Why do some managers still risk it?
Notts County cannot stay out of the headlines 5:17pm on 12 Oct 2009 @ True-leeds6 wrote:

Who are notts county anyway?

-----------

I'm no expert but I'd say that Notts County..

i. Are one of the oldest football clubs in the world
ii. Were in the top flight as recently as 1991/92
iii. Have spent about 30 seasons in the top flight
iv. Have won the FA Cup as many times as Leeds United
v. Have more financial clout than Leeds United at this moment in time
vi. Have a former England manager working for them (at least at this moment)

Does any of that help?

Or is it too much trouble for you to read through?
