Champions League Final
May 21, 2008 | 7:22AM | BobbyMcMahon
Not surprisingly Monday’s furour about the Luzhniki Stadium pitch appears to have died away as we now hear that it is going to be just fine. From the equivalent of a neglected public park pitch to no problem in 48 hours – a miracle indeed. ... Read More

Craigy_f - (Are you) feeling a tad more confident after beating the Ukraine?What’s your take on Lampard being booed? Are there any other instances like that which you can recall? Do you pay attention to stats in football? Do you read any print media on football?
Bobby – I will not feel confident until there are enough points to finish in the top two. However, the win against Ukraine does guarantee that Scotland will go into the Italy game with a ch... Read More

Samba 9 - In your opinion do you see Avram Grant delivering this so-called "attractive football"? Will he stand the test of time? As far as I'm concerned, this man has no pedigree and to compare himself to Arsene Wenger, when he took over at Arsenal, is laughable at the very least: they certainly are not birds of the same feather. Attractive football is in the eyes of the beholder, and I'd rather we just win whether its 1:0 or 5... Read More

Henry14 - 1 Bobby what do you learn about United's attack today (Sunday), and l remember you talking about how Samuel Eto'o is probably the most valuable player in the planet because he is so difficult to replace and we saw how it affected Barca, using your same argument do you feel than Tevez and Rooney will complement that well in against deep defending teams and good solid teams with good defenders?2 Bobby what did you make of the three promoted teams and their performance and especially Birmingham? l thought they look better than people think of them3 Can you help me about how Wenger is 13/2 to get fired and do you think martin Jol will be at spurs next season if they do not win a trophy or break into the top four?4 Do you think Ronaldo looks fat or there is something wrong with my TV5 There is talk of Alves going to Chelsea and l do not think he is a good defender he is just like Evra and Eboue , not good defenders but excellent going forward, how would you describe Mr. Alves

Footie fan - Do you think Tevez and Rooney combo will work upfront?

Neophyte - Question for all the Arsenal supporters and for Bobby, why did Arsenal not keep Baptista? Do they think Adebayor is better than the "Beast"?
Bobby – Arsenal didn’t keep Baptista because apart from a couple of Carling Cup performances he didn’t play very well. Adebayor is quicker than Baptista, better in the air and is younger. Baptista is more versatile tha... Read More

Bufftvs – Now that Tevez looks like he can play in the EPL, where will he be next year? And who else from West Ham do you see moving on when they go down, as seems inevitable?
Bobby – I can’t see Tevez staying with West Ham or moving to another Premiership team. Spain or Italy would be likely destinations I suppose.

The Boy's from Argentina...
Sep 11, 2006 | 9:58AM | Nick_Webster
Despite producing some of the greatest football players on the planet are Argentineans adaptable to the demands of English football…and the answer to date I believe is no!
In the fall of 1978 ex-Tottenham boss, Keith Burkinshaw stunned English football with the audacious double signing of Argentine World Cup winners, Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricardo Villa. Last week history repeated itself in the capital as east London neighbors West Ham United captured ... Read More
