No doubt in my mind, the Rooskies will treat the Premiership team as a feeder club for what they’re really interested in - just my view but people like him don’t get involved just to win a domestic league in another country.
3-5-2 in Europe and, depending on his (short in numbers, to my mind) wing-back injury situation, same for the Premiership.
interesting that he can put on England’s Plan B midfield duo as a second option, just as Sven did last game.
Oh, the humanity, and all the Spurs fans around here. [unintelligible] I cant talk to people whose idols are on there. I cant talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, Spurs are just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage, and everybody can hardly breathe and [unintelligible]. I am sorry. Honestly, I can hardly breathe. I am going to step inside where I cannot see it. Glenn, thats terrible. Listen, folks, I am going to have to stop for a minute because I have lost my voice. This is the worst thing Ive ever witnessed.
What do you think of Reading’s (currently 2nd and unbeaten after 5 games) chance of promotion this year? I’m thinking it’s probably the play-offs again, though there’s a chance we can clinch one of the automatic promotion slots.
I can’t really see past West Ham and West Brom for the automatics, MC (I think Sunderland have sold too much family silver). A play-off place would be my guess, along with perennial favourites like Sheff Utd, Millwall and Crystal Palace.
No Robbie Keane? I’m more concerned at having no midfield. Kilbane and Holland allegedly were on the pitch against Australia, although they may have been wearing their amulets of invisibility.
I’d like to see Liam Miller get a run out at some stage.
I think Hamboys better Gel quickly or they’ll be looking at an extended season only if they’re lucky, automatic, nah not a hope.
Blades have to be one of the main contenders, they piled on the cash with the cup runs and beat more Premier opposition last season than either the baggies or Hammmers!
Leeds seem to be loaning out as much as they can, probably to reduce the wage bill and scouting out the third worlders, sweat shop soccer or what ?
Spurs, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Southampton are a bogey team for lots of top sides in the North Owenpool will not be fancying their journey.
As an American and a Man U fan (please don’t boo) I just have to ask: What do people “across the pond” think about Tim Howard’s performance so far? Personally, my friends and I are thrilled that he’s done so well (and the loss to Southampton wasn’t his fault,) but I am interested to hear how he’s been received in England.
For a goalkeeper to develop a reputation for “soundness” and receive the confidence of his defence takes more than a few good games and top-drawer saves. It requires at least a season of steady competence, holding on to low shots, authotitatively claiming corners and crosses, getting the ball not the man in a one-on-one etc..
Give him time. (Of course, everyone at the western end of the M62 wants to see him fall on his arse.)
