Carsley - the Championship's most effective player? 8:33pm on 29 Oct 2008 Lee Carsley seems to have joined one of a small group of players - late-bloomers in danger of becoming national treasures.

He comes across in the blog as being somewhat intelligent and I'm sure he has not forgotten the years of abuse he received for being a skill-free clogger. Then miraculously, because he has learned from experience and maybe because he has slowed down, he has become an unsung hero who slogs away and at 34 is getting his reward. Still though, I bet there are not too many replica shirts with "Carsley" on the back or kids going to sleep dreaming of being "the new Lee Carsley"

Any time I have seen him play, I have not been impressed. No such thing as a forward pass. Just block and tackle and a short horizontal pass (at best). I don't think he ever claimed to be anything better and in fairness most teams need one - Everton's most succesful team had Peter Reid and its best team had Alan Ball - grafters both.

I'm happy that there is a place for the Lee Carsley's of this world but no more than one per team please.!
Ashley's short-term gamble 7:44pm on 26 Sep 2008 I found this on Mike Ashley's floor. Could it be true?

My dears, I have carefully selected your beautiful club because I know I can trust you. I have a major dilemma. I know of a brilliant football manager who is prevented from rejoining the game due to the oppressive regime here in Sarf London. Therefore I need to use your club to help rehabilitate this man into football. I know you will do this out of love for your fellow human but I also want to help you share in the benefits. In return for your help in assuring the return of JK, me and my associates are willing to invest 300 million Zimbabwe dollars in your club. I know you will be interested so please get in touch with me… Of course you should not tell anyone of this…
Crouch deal proves Redknapp's quality 10:37pm on 07 Jul 2008 'Arry is a "a manager who will put an arm around Crouch's shoulder"

I'd love to see his platform soles when he's doing that!
