Yep, agree with that. Clyne is miles out of his depth at international level and Walker looks like first choice in that position for me. Thought Darmian the full back for Italy showed some particularly classy moments fitting of what playing higher level opposition involves. Some of the close ball sk...

Delusions of grandeur all round methinks.

Might be an idea to get chatty with the crew on board and start hinting that you really want to see the game. I bet somewhere there will be quarters for the staff who'll no doubt have their own TVs or at least access to one in their leisure room whatever. Probably not officially allowed but 'where t...

Yep. Barkley looks like another world class youngster who's actually not world class after all. He hasn't kicked on this season but there's every chance he will still come good. Obviously our media love to overhype these kids as they burst onto the scene but Barkley has just that bit of x-factor th...

In fairness Semtex has got the right idea for this game. Let's face it, the 'New Wembley' is just a sanitised corporate bunker. Maybe wasn't quite so bad for the play off final but the FA Cup games will be yuk. It doesn't take you long to work out that the last thing they want there is a load of scr...

Might just be my imagination but FC Porto seem to do extremely well considering their League isn't anywhere near as good as the bigger hitters and are overlooked somewhat. Benfica, Sporting etc from Portugal do appear in these Euro competitions regularly yet Porto achieve more (haven't looked it up ...

About as good a squad as he could pick. Still looks a depressingly long way off a good International side though. The defence is of course the weakest part of the squad which doesn't appear to have too many class choices. Have been impressed with Walker from Spurs this season....he's quick, strong a...

Not sure I'm buying in to the 'Bradford have already had their cup run' stuff. They'd be fcukin bonkers to think that when they're about to play a beatable Champ team and potentially grab a load of dosh. Can't decide whether Bradford will block up or have a real go from the off. Even harder deciding...

Think the main problem is that he's got to find a way of being more effective or at least having a reasonable impact on games. You're just not going to get silky smooth flawlessly skilled players at our level and neither are they all going to be swashbuckling heroes. I thought on Sat for instance he...

There was a useful looking group of Bradford at the Ginger Goose? think it was called just down from the Interchange. They were ok though, just minding their own unless you wanted to know which is how it should be.

Very watchable game, once Di Maria had been sent off that was Utd done for.

He's been getting patchy reviews since his move but I thought he looked like the most likely source of goals for Man Utd last night - the inch perfect delivery for Rooney's equaliser was class.

Bradford are welcome to it.

It'll be like being back in the PL i.e. paying shed loads of money to sit there and watch your team provide
someone else with their glory.

Rumours that the Watford bloke has died from his injuries.

Blimey, an opposition fan has been picked off and given a kicking at Wolves..........they'll be telling us next that Greece has a few economic issues to sort out. Hope the bloke pulls through ok, expect the usual Wolves bollox denials "It's only a small minority of our fans" "Isolated...

Best laugh I've had at the footy for ages - Old fashioned type feel to the whole days atmosphere yesterday. Bradford fans kicked up a good din, after a while though it just sounded like a contrived and continuous drone. Geezer who ran on the pitch was funny (he was having a good go at winding us up ...

Predictions: - Bradford will be looking to win every free kick they can get. - The ref will be expecting a competitive match so sturdy challenges won't receive a yellow until 30+ mins. - Reading to get at the full backs, looking dangerous without bothering the keeper too much. - The lino will flag B...

09.47 from Manchester Victoria to Bradford Interchange along the Calder Valley line - characterful towns of Todmorden & Hebden Bridge are the pick of the journey. i'm travelling from Manchester too was going to go from Piccadilly though, is this a quicker route? It takes 1 hour - nice journey o...

Roughly translated Rodgers is saying that they've lost pretty much the only top class player they had Suarez - and now he's doing his best to bond together a load of try-hards.

Think what's happening at Man Utd is a classic case of commercialisation overtaking the workings of the team. LVG has got a tricky job of knitting together a team that needs regular Champions League football as a minimum. Yet those running the club know that they have to sign big name star players t...
