No carping about Kaka coup 1:06pm on 16 Jan 2009 Come on Phil. He's arriving at his prime age so if he comes to City he's coming for money not medals. The arrival of Robinho has proved that despite one man's talent you nee a balanced team, something that Hughsey is still no where near providing us with. The money and wages are obscene and if the Arabs get fed up in a couple of years whose going to take all the expense on? Signing Kaka to save us from relegation, I thought football couldn't suprise me any more.
Sensible Strauss just the tonic 1:20pm on 13 Jan 2009 I agree with a number of comments that Strauss deserved to get the captaincy instead of Freddie but he kept his dignity on that occasion. I worry slightly that there is pressure on him for his batting now as despite those two, admittedly excellent, centuries in India he has cut out so many shots to come out of his slump that on lively pitches he may struggle. We should all get behind him and wish him well. As for a coach, why do we need one. Let the captain and selectors do their job and the batting and bowling coaches should be able to cover evrything else. India came here without a coach and they did okay. Too many hangers on and lets face it, young promising players seem to have gonwe backwards under Moores. Not necessarily his fault but do we really need another coach?
Hugely respected, much admired... but loved? 12:51pm on 13 Jan 2009 Brilliant opener who never let the opposing bowlers get into the groove. Even though an Aussie I loved watching this guy bat. At the top of any sport you need absolute self belief which sometimes can over as being arrogant. With Harbajan he only said what evryone else thought; that guy could start an argument in an empty room.
Is it Maradona's time? 12:34pm on 29 Oct 2008 NikosBg. That is a good point about Rattin who seemed to be picked on by the referee. England had to dig in against the team that was the best in the tournament that year. The sending off was wrong but England were lucky to win but how often have we seen the best team in a game get beaten. There was certainly, in my honest opinion, no cheating by England.
Is it Maradona's time? 12:25pm on 29 Oct 2008 LokomotivRosco. Fair play, the build up was brilliant, he lhen leapt like a salmon and CHEATED. He didn't flick his arm out he punched the bloody thing. Cheating is cheating whether it be Maradnonna, Messi, Cole, Owen whoever
Is it Maradona's time? 11:43am on 29 Oct 2008 Pedblan. Without doubt is has to be Pele. Two footed and great in the air. George Best was also and Pele said he was the best he'd seen. Unfortunately he couldn't prove it at the WC due to him being Irish but Pele definetly comes before maradonna....a wonderfully gifted player but not two footed and crap in the air.
Is it Maradona's time? 11:38am on 29 Oct 2008 NikosBg. Gerrad should have been sent off for simu;ation (as they call it these days) ditto Joe Cole. Cashley should, have been sent off for dissent, ditto Terry and so on and so on. Referees need to put their foot down but unfortuinately they don't seem to be backed up by the FA. Sorry but downright cheating is spoiling this beautiful, wonderful game where anarchy is slowly taking over.
Is it Maradona's time? 11:22am on 29 Oct 2008 LokomotivRosco. You are right Maradonna's second goal in that game was truly awesome, one of the best I have ever been privileged to witness. But to say the skill he showed for THAT goal? Come on!
Is it Maradona's time? 11:16am on 29 Oct 2008 Haythnasr. I'm not actually a Red but simply acknowledging that Carra is the best all round defender. I must say though, you may have been a little lucky on a number of ocasions earlier this year but your looking good now.
Is it Maradona's time? 10:35am on 29 Oct 2008 Sorry 23carragold. I wasn't trying to come over all righteous it is simply the way I was brought up playing all sport. I coached teams in this way and we won and lost as the game unfolded. Cheating will spread as it is seen by youngsters on the TV. You won't believe after watching England struggle for so long, and being damn unlucky on more than one occasion, how desperate I am for them to be succesful. As an aside, I presume you nickname is a homage to the best all round defender in the Premier League?
