As a new Premiership season draws ever closer one of the favourite pastimes of pundits and fans is to opine on who will be the first managerial casualty of the campaign. Alan Curbishley (West Ham), Kevin Keegan (Newcastle), Gary Megson (Bolton), Roy Hodgson (Fulham) an... Read More

Well folks, we’ve hit the halfway point of the previews and I just wanted to thank those of you who’ve posted comments and taken the time to go over things.  As you can tell, it is not an exact science – especially when you try to postulate a Starting... Read More

Matt Johnston - Much has been made of the Diaby and Eduardo tackles and I have to voice my agreement that the two are indistinguishable except that Eduardo was unlucky to have had his foot planted.  The FA and FIFA have cracked down on such hard challenges, ordering referees to show the red ...

Redfan2000 - What's your take on the midfield for England? You lauded Jenas in the weekend blog, so how about explaining your thinking regards the competition with, Barry, Gerrard, Lampard, Carrick, Hargreaves et al, all vying for a CM slot?

Gongatore - If warranted is there a side in Europe that you could see Altidore going to in the next transfer window?How do you rate Cruz and Zlatan at Inter? Bobby – Moving clubs is an individual decision but from my point of view I think the rush to have Jozy Altidore move to Europe is ill-advised. He’s better off in MLS where he can play regularly for the next season or two. If he really makes a... Read More
