*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

Tom Halsey

International Coach
Yeah but freak results happen. Just because we beat Arsenal 6-1 in 2001 didn't mean that they weren't some distance clear of the 3rd best side in England at the time. Shakhtar are the most underrated side in Europe by a distance IMO, and there are several teams I’d rather face over them.

Oh, they're definitely underrated. If the exact same setup was operating under the name "Juventus" they'd be seen as one of the teams to avoid. Going to the Ukraine would be excruciating with our away form.

Schalke are the team everyone wants here.

Bryan Robson receiving treatment for throat cancer

From the BBC.

:-O

Wish him all the best.

It's not exclusively so, but usually a smokers' cancer. Does anyone know if he was a fan of the demon weed?

No idea, but as you say he didn't have to be. I knew someone who died from throat cancer who didn't smoke and barely touched alcohol.

Best wishes to him of course.

Robbo was a smoker and a heavy drinker until Fergie clamped down on it (him, McGrath and Whiteside were the worst)

Yeah, he's done so well in creating a situation for himself whereby no other manager could use the players he's assembled and where he has no accountability with regards to winning anything.
You've still not given a single alternative to Wenger.. who do you want instead?

This ref is way too card-happy. I imagine Mario would've been sent off at some point anyway though... :ph34r:

I really like Man City, but you wouldn't call their style of football attractive. Which is a pity when you have the likes of Tevez, Silva, Johnson, Kolarov, Dzeko, etc.

BARNES OUT
The ref was pathetic. The time wasting on Kyiv's part was blatant and went unpunished whilst standard non-card offences were treated harshly. Ballotelli is an idiot, **** off to Milan you waste of space. Take Mancini with you when we miss out on any silverware and finish in 6th place as well.

Time for bed methinks.

What a great deal of business it was to sell Balotelli to City. Perhaps he should stop thinking he's God's gift to football.

Yuck, I hate playing Chelsea. Whoever wins has about as good a semi-final draw as you could hope for, though.
