Sounds like England were totally crap again last night. Glad we can't watch those games and I didn't waste any time on it.
Roll on next week... big game!

"keano is looking bit crap too."
He is. Give it a bit of time, but I wasn't too excited on that signing (esp. at 20 mill!)
Looking like Gerrard won't be ready for the big game against United next weekend. Damn.

That would be good. It will be Keane vs Berbatov which should be interesting. I'm looking for a 0-3 win, with Berbatov scoring his first at the Kop end.

We shall see, more time needed. Sir Fergie is taking the piss, so it would be good if Keane could get a goal or two on Saturday.

Who knows MrWiggles, Newcastle might be next. A spokesman for Indian businessman Anil Ambani has denied that he has launched a takeover bid for Newcastle.
Billionaire Ambani, estimated to be the sixth richest person in the world, has long been linked with an interest in the troubled Tyneside club.
Ambani, who is said to be a Magpies fan, was reportedly ready to make his move after the club plunged into further turmoil under Mike Ashley's reign following Kevin Keegan's decision to quit the club last week. I wonder if there are any spagzwillionnaire Wigan fans out there?

Seems like ages since the Premier League last games, like it hasn't properly got going yet. These international breaks are annoying (especially seeing as though England are so crap!)

He means that some people have commented on the trend of Prem clubs to buy up foreign stars and play them at the expense of young english players, if this continues and home grown young English players can't get their chance at the big clubs, it may be feasible that at 1 point in the future, the England team may be made up of players from outwith the Top division

Get it! My head wasn't very clear this morning. Perhaps England might do better without all the star clobber.

Interesting article in the times http://timesonline.typepad.com/thegame/2008/09/ten-rule-change.htmlAgree with a lot of what is said there. The off-side one is an interesting point. Would be interesting to see just how a game played out without offside. Thing it would be a bit mad myself but...

Without offside im sure you would just get a formation of 5-0-5 with a load of tall players and big kickers.
It would be like George Grahams Arsenal vs the 'crazy gang' Wimbledon every game.

You spoke too soon bobby12 - sounds like Walnut had a cracking game.

So, England are "brilliant" again this morning.
Some consistency would be good!
