England still need Owen 4:24pm on 30 Mar 2009 Even an 85% fit Michael Owen would get into my squad ahead of Bent and Defoe. It's not just the quantity of England goals he's scored but the quality of opposition; Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, Portugal....the only great team he hasn't scored against is Spain.

He and Rooney are still our only 2 world class forwards, to freeze him out completely wuold be a mistake in my opinion.

As a reply to those who said his move to Real was a failure by the way, his goals to games ratio there was phenomenal. Real fans were appalled that he was not used more and gutted that he was allowed to leave so soon.
All the fun of the farce 2:35pm on 23 Jan 2009 Herding cats!!!!
brilliant.
What price Brazilian football? 3:07pm on 08 Dec 2008 Hi Tim, you seem to have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the South American game.

Serious question, do you also scout for any British sides?

Do any managers contact you or your peers for information on South American based players?
Sao Paulo leading the way 2:53pm on 24 Nov 2008 Tim, after the recent football related deaths of 2 Argentinian fans, the latest in a long and depressing line of violent incidents surrounding Argentinian football, do you think it is time that FIFA threatened to ban the national side from International competition until the AFA resolve this desperate situation?

All countries have their problems I know, but football violence in Argentina seems to be many, many notches above other countries.

I could not envisige a European country getting away with this for so long without serious repercussions. Is it because their club football is simply not as high profile on the international stage?
Is it Maradona's time? 09:37am on 30 Oct 2008 The only truly great players who made great managers were Cruuyf and Beckenbauer, both are astute and intelligent men.

Maradona, for all his greatness, has the intelligence and stability of Paul Gascoigne, this will end in tears (of laughter as far as I'm concerned).
Beckham gambling in Milan 5:52pm on 22 Oct 2008 I have a sneaky feeling he'll be a success at the San Siro.

Italian football is still quite slow with an emphasis on technique, something which Beckham still has in abundance.

Along with Pirlo, Milan now have 2 of the best passers and dead ball specialists in the world in their squad. A certain Ronaldinho takes a decent free kick as well, there are a few arguments in the offing about who will take them!
Review of the week 4:43pm on 21 Oct 2008 8 matches for that??

Ok it was a bit wierd but 8 (final score vidiprinter style "EIGHT") matches??????

It's not as if he donned the gloves and KY and gave him a full body cavity search is it?

Or did the video miss that bit off?
Popular Horsfield faces his most difficult opponent 08:53am on 16 Oct 2008 Best of luck Geoff, and keep checking your balls fellas, the earlier it's caught the better the chance of survival.
The philosophical argument of the Tevez saga 4:47pm on 03 Oct 2008 "I truly believe this case has the power to break English football with SU and now Bolton being the architects of it's destruction"

Nothing like a good old overreaction!

Bosman was supposed to shatter the system too, it didn't happen then and it won't happen now. This is a unique case brought about by the inadequacy of the original PL enquiry and the dishonesty of West Ham.

Everyone knows that West Ham will not receive a fee for Tevez as they never owned him, MSI did (and still do to my knowledge).

Those with good memories will remember that one of the clauses in the original hearing was that West Ham must receive the majority of any transfer fee from Man Utd as and when they eventually buy him. Bet your house that this will not happen.

This will prove that he was always under the influence of MSI, and never, at one moment, under the total control of West Ham.

If this does ruin football, the blame in my eyes will lie with the PL and the then board of West Ham United.
The philosophical argument of the Tevez saga 1:34pm on 03 Oct 2008 So Tevev'z contract was perfectly legal, but there was a little side annexe to it which was against Premier League rules, is that fair enough?

And do we agree finally that West Ham gave verbal assurances to the Premier League that this offending 'annexe' had been ripped up in order to have Tevez playing in the final 3 matches?

And it seems we also agree that the tribunal found that those assurances were not kept, thus making Tevez's presence in the West Ham team in those final 3 games a breach of Premier League rules?

Seems that we're finally starting to get along.

You can dress it up any which way you choose chaps, but those straws you keep clutching at are getting shorter and shorter.

What will be interesting is if Scudamore carries out his promise to investigate further if any more evidence came to light. I'd like to think he will but who knows.
