Thank goodness for Fulham 11:39am on 06 Nov 2009 Damien Duff - what a super signing for Fulham. They haven't seen a winger like him since Georgie Best

Can't argue too much with the above though, maybe swap Terry for Rio...

Your a joke and a Man U fan.

Ye're both havin a laugh. Mark Wright or John Scales would've wiped the floor with the two of those lads.
Transfer deadline day Q&A 2:23pm on 02 Sep 2009 Phil, good column. You mentioned once or twice that we'll know soon if Aquilani is a good replacement for Alonso. Don't agree with this - surely we will have to assess Aquilani over a full season at least to determine what class of player he is. He has only played a ridiculously small number of games over the last two years so he will need some time to readjust and settle in to top class football once again. Time is not something Liverpool can really afford in this instance but it would be harsh to judge Aquilani after a few games.

Club v country takes new twist 1:08pm on 17 Aug 2009 Green Onions (40)

That definitely doesn't suffice! The Cascarino situation is clearly an exception to the rule - TeeSee referred to numerous Irish players with absolutely no links to Irish heritage.

Eventhough Cascarino's Mum never took up her option on Irish citizenship, you could hardly claim that she (or Tony) had absolutely no links to Irish heritage given that she was raised by parents who were born and bred in Co. Mayo.
Club v country takes new twist 10:58am on 17 Aug 2009 Red-Russian:

The reason I mentioned Prem clubs was because Carioca_Oli had compared the atmosphere at top flight games in the Argentinian/Brazilian leagues with similar games in England.

It's not just economics either - the national team is definitely the pinnacle of the game here in Ireland also and the level of fanatical support reflects that. Despite a population of just 4 million, we were one of the first six countries in the world to have our allocation of tickets sold out for next years World Cup, along with Brazil, Argentina, England, Holland and some other country. And we are far from certain of even qualifying!
Club v country takes new twist 10:35am on 17 Aug 2009 Carioca_Oli: Agree with you about the passion of the fans in South America - reckon the English fans are passionate too though, just look at Liverpool or Newcastle as two good examples. Also, didn't Riquelme retire from international football about three years ago eventhough he had just been made captain?

Club v country takes new twist 10:10am on 17 Aug 2009 English players have been turning out for other countries for decades now, most notably Ireland, for who we all know a number of English players have turned out for while having absolutely no heritage permitting them to do so.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tee See, can you actually back this comment up with an example of the numerous English players "with absolutely no heritage" permitting them to play for Ireland?
Spanning the South American age spectrum 11:32am on 30 Jul 2009 Tim, do you know whether Palacios going to Genoa has anything at all to do with Boca Juniors' (los xeneizes) historic affiliation with this city?

Cheers,
James.

Gomes sets sights on World Cup 10:32am on 13 Jul 2009 Heurelho Gomes and Henrik Larsson - separated at birth!?

Trouble blights Huracan's renaissance 09:19am on 29 Jun 2009 Hi Tim,

This is a recurring theme here but is Rodrigo Palacio ever going to make the move to Europe? From what I saw, he would have been more than capable of making it but he must be getting on now.
