Tevez's diving header sets table for tasty semi How
good are United? Good enough to beat Roma 3-0 on aggregate — with their
second team. To be fair they didn't lineup their reserves, but they did
field a very conservative, defensive si... 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

Hughes won’t be pleased with a
mediocre tenth place in the 2006-2007 season, OK so McCarthy scored a bundle,
the defence let in too many goals but they do punch above their weight in the
Cups and Hughes is canny, he knows the game.
Transfers:-
In: Gunnar Nielsen (BK Frem Copenhagen, undisclosed), Maceo
