Never thought I'd see a day where I'd be pissed that Scotland didn't beat Italy. Walter Smith has done fucking wonders just motivating the team. Kenny Miller looks like a different player now. What Glenn Hoddle did with him worked.
I had 7/1 Kenny Miller to get the first goal and 11/1 Scotland to win 1-0

The great thing is he's working that hard every game for us, even though he hasn't scored in the league yet (he will). To be honest I'm a tiny bit worried he's just doing it to put himself on the market (his contract is up this year) but we'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, at his own request. Hoddle said he hadn't had time to talk with him about it, not sure if that's true or not. Sunderland tried to get him on the cheap
so he's still here. I wouldn't be *totally* surprised to see someone try again in January but I guess it depends on how we're doing/if we can get anyone in to replace (I wouldn't be comfortable relying on Cort, Ganea, Ndah and Clarke for half a season)

Speaking of that Brazil game:
Claridge: "Who’s that Brazilian who plays in midfield and looks like Juninho?" Burton: "I’m not sure." Claridge: "He plays in midfield. And he looks like Juninho." Burton: "Um...I’m really not sure who you mean." Claridge: "The Brazilian who plays for Barcelona in midfield and he looks a bit like Juninho." Burton: "Ah...I think I know who you mean. I think you mean Deco." Claridge: "That’s him." Burton: "Except that he plays for Portugal." Claridge: "I keep thinking he’s called Dido or Dada, or something." Quality coverage right there. Oh and there's also this gem: "Thank God it's only on match days we have to go into Middlesbrough" - Emmanuel Pogatetz |

Southern press, they have visited middlesbrough about the same amount of times channel 5 have paid for a commentator to actually attend a game and not watch it from the studio. Anyway, WTF would he know what middlesbrough looks like, has he got some sort of super glasses that allow him to see through the smog ?

Lol theres a classic quote from Nemeth about Boro too:
"Middlesbrough is very bad. It is not a very nice town and there are a lot of factories" We don't call em the smoggies for nothing. Oh and not 5th worst place to live in the country too .

Anyway, you'd think all these footballers would know that we are an industrial town by now as everytime we are on the telly, its not like the camera's dont pan out and show the beautiful countryside around us do they, no they show the smoking towers at british steel and the ICI plant. (just a point to put out, the 'smoke' coming out of british steel is usually steam due to the fact they are cooling towers for the steel made, whereas the big flames and thick black smoke coming out of ICI is prob darngerous and poinesous - but thats not the point, we have other views they could show to).

He got a whack in the back, he should be fine
Couldn't do it any other way could they, concede a goal in the 89th minute and then have to hold on..... BUT They did it.... and if we win our last 2 games and Norway lose one of theirs, we'll get a playoff place |

![]() Cant' defend that, it was shit. I'm not going to demand that Sven be sacked but everyone's made their minds up anyway. Hopefully Curbishley gets the job when Sven gets sacked. We're in a good position still though. Against Wales i wasn't concerned because we created chances and finishing was all that was lacking at times, tonight we didn't create any clear cut chances and got what we deserved. Northern Ireland closed us down whereas Wales stayed back and let us have possession, and the players didn't like it, which is difficult to take. |

Time and time again Sven has shown that when it comes to certain matches he has no tactical sense.

SWP did bugger all but give it away, to be fair. In saying that no-one had a good, or even average, game.
I wouldn't mind Pearce taking over at some stage, but probably in the future. I mean he's only had 14 league games as a manager or something. I suppose Allardyce will be a main contender and is successful, just through playing shit football. Anyway, Leicester are, and always will be, a bigger concern for me, so whatever happens will happen really. RBF's said before 'the players don't care about representing England so why should i bother supporting them as passionately' or something like that, i feel the same after that. |
