England cannot replace Rooney 7:35pm on 13 Oct 2009 McNulty's comments about the indispensability of Wayne Rooney remind me of similar remarks about Jimmy Greaves in 1966. They were wrong then too.
Robbo's England picks 5:34pm on 07 Sep 2009 Ah, Pat Jennings - footballers were men in those days, not overpaid prima donnas.
Cricket misses the point again 4:43pm on 02 Sep 2009 §237. Dirs writing codswallop - nothing new there then.

The article headline should be :- "Dirs misses the point again"
Cast-iron uncertainties 11:56am on 01 Sep 2009 I wonder how many of Robbo's critics could do the job even half as well. It can't be easy thinking up amusing metaphors week in and week out - and to have them condemned as cliches is itself laughable. Keep right on Robbo.

P.S. Robbo, how did your "other trial team" (i.e. Hartlepool) get on on Saturday - LOL
Mixed emotions for Capello 1:13pm on 13 Aug 2009 Without seeming to realise it Phil, you've put your finger on the problem when you said "Ferdinand and Barry have been two of England's most reliable performers ".

The emphasis should be on "have been". England's problem for years now is fielding "has-beens" and it continues under Capello, to our cost.
Getting away with it 11:23pm on 12 Jul 2009 Bopara lasted 3 balls
Cook lasted 12 balls
Pietersen lasted 24 ball.
.
.
Panesar lasted . . . . . 35 balls NOT OUT.
.
So, why can't our established batsmen stay around longer ?
.
Brits in pieces 11:24am on 25 Jun 2009 £10,000 once a year for a handful of tennis players !
.
Peanuts compared with what hundreds of "underachieving no-marks" in football get.
.
Even at Middlesbrough
Caption competition 10:53pm on 04 Jun 2009 Young mistress Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch her dear sister a bone
When she got there
With her feet in the air
Her sister behaved like a drone
Glory hunting is not for me 10:37am on 01 May 2009
I first started watching and supporting Norwich City when they were in what was then Division Three. I much enjoyed the games, where good entertaining football was always on show.

Three years on, (this was in the days of two up two down, no poncy play-offs) they got promotion to Division Two as Runners-up to Champions Southampton (there's irony for you) which was of course well worth celebrating, and the old Second Division then also presented many good games.

If League One produces the same level of entertainment as the old Third Division then supporters are still in for some good times - my only worry is that the game has moved on in such a way that this will no longer be the case.

The good old days - Nethercott, Thurlow, Ashman, McCrohan, Butler, Crowe, Crossan, Allcock, Bly, Hill, Brennan - beat Manchester United in the F A Cup.
[end of nostalgic trip LOL]
Shearer gets taste of reality 1:41pm on 05 Apr 2009 Moderation seems better today - keep it up.
