No white flag for Burnley's Coyle 12:30pm on 17 Dec 2009 I half expected an article like this one, especially after Burnley picked up a point against Arsenal. What I didn't expect was the attack on the Serbian Gary Breen. Why is it that SAF resting his players against Hull is acceptable to you Phil, especially when this could have had a direct influence on the outcome of the relegation battle? Wolves resting players and losing at Old Trafford will have no bearing on the title race, yet you find this unacceptable!
You also make no comment about Arsenal's reserves playing in the Champions League that again had a bearing on the end result of the group table. Was Mr Wenger correct in doing this?
I support Wolves and was surprised at the selection and do have some sympathy for the fans that travelled to the game, however how many of them truly expected Wolves to get anything out of the match?

I believe that Premier League rules state that teams should field their strongest sides, so in that case Phil please feel free to voice your concerns to the FA each time that the big four rest any of their players. Also due to the fact you know so much about the Wolves squad could you please feel free to let me know what you think the Wolves First XI should look like. Most Wolves fans and Mick McCarthy haven't settled yet on what are best line up actually is. Wayne Rooney must have been having nightmares on Monday night about the prospect of facing Jody Craddock!

The only thing that Mick McCarthy did wrong here was to rest all of the outfield players. Nobody would have been complaining if the figure was 5 or 6.

Capello's balancing act 1:10pm on 27 Mar 2009 Phil,

I can't believe that you think that it should be Lampard and AN Other (ie Carrick or Barry)as the central midfield pairing. The last 18 months have proved that England are more effective when Gareth Barry plays in the middle whether it be alongside Gerrard or Lampard. As an experiment then by all means have Gerrard playing behind a lone striker, however changing a system that has been working in the current qualification campaign just does not make sense. This means that either Lampard or Gerrard will have to miss out so that England have a balanced team rather than two players who can't play alongside each other.
Hindsight is Twenty20 4:52pm on 08 Jul 2008 In my opinion the game should have been played last night without the unregistered player.

If Durham had won then they could have gone onto the finals day and nobody would have known any different.

The paying spectators would have all gone home happy.

If they had lost then Yorksire should have been allowed to continue in the competition.

If all of the Kolpak players are allowed to play then surely it wouldn't cause too much of a problem to allow the ex- Engalnd U16 captain to play a game (albeit unregistered) in the group stages.

I feel sorry for the public who gave up their time and money only to be told that the game was postponed.
