It looks as if UEFA are moving in the direction of changing the finals to twenty-four nations but not until 2016 at the earliest. I hate to see them move from 16 which is a perfect number.

Rob Bagchi asking if a player cannot get a game then why should he cost more?

Ian Herbert on a player who turned his career around – Richard Dunne.

Brian Reade tries taking a look at the Newcastle situation from the ordinary fan’s point of view.

Louise Taylor on the role being played by former Spurs director Paul Kemsley.

I missed this one from last Monday. Gabriele Marcotti on why Dave Kitson should care about the FA Cup. 
 
A class action claim against Dave Whelan’s JJB Sports over replica football shirts has been settled.

Roy Keane does not think much of the FAI’s search for a new manager – either that or he thinks a great deal of Big Brother. It seems surreal that Mick McCarthy’s name is even being mentioned let alone a strong second choice.

I know there were a number of questions asked last week on the response section and weekend preview that I was not able to get to. Although I try to chip in on the blog throughout the week the best time to get a response to your question is by posting to Monday's Speakers' Corner.

As always thanks to everyone who reads and posts.
