Football 2010-2011

Socrates.

Those old school footballers wouldnt last 5 minutes in a game these days though.

Oh, I know.

Which says to me that any Utd fan should be mightily concerned about Rooney's reported 20-a-day habit, cos it means his effectiveness is going to fall off a cliff sooner than you'd otherwise be thinking.

I'd be surprised if Fergie lets it go - which I guess comes to mean that Rooney will give it up sharpish or he'll be out the door. But given that Fergie is very likely to have known about it for quite a while and Rooney is still smoking (he was still just a few weeks ago, at least) I'd say his days at OT might well be numbered.

I wouldn't go that far. Fergie has commented on him smoking before: "I'm not getting into that" when asked. I think Wayne will have to do a LOT more than that to be shown the door at Old Trafford. Murder Bobby Charlton or something.

But nah ..... all it takes is to say something other than "Fergie is the best manager ever" - as proven so many times previously by other players.*

Which I guess is why you blinkered reds can't own up to his faults, you're scared he'll have you blackballed as a Utd fan.

edit: (* maybe that's why Wayne had to libel Moyes, to curry favour with Fergie? )

f**k off.

Nah, Fergie has put up with Cantona assaulting fans, Keane assaulting players (both were captains), McGrath being a pisshead (took him a couple of years to get rid of him) etc. He also put up with and defended various Ronaldo shenanigans. The only thing I know he wont tolerate is the celeb circuit shite.

The only thing I know he wont tolerate is the celeb circuit shite. The closer a player can be to Paul Scholes the better basically.

But what he hasn't put up with is the most mild criticism of him as a manger by one of his players. Kicking people is fine (), but dare to be anything but fully complimentary about the manager and you're out of there.

[Wooderson]

The Rooney episode can only make Baconface look bad. His most talented player (ever?) could potentially do a Georgie Best on him here.

He won't take any responsibility though. Theres clearly a discipline problem at the club if theres this much boozing and whoring going on.

Pros are 100% legal in Switzerland - which is an added bonus for the Roonster.

Of course hes making the trip then. He'll be balls deep by tea time.

Surrounded by clocks, army knives, Nazi gold and a picture of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies

And cheese of some sort I'd imagine.

No wonder he's having to pay for it.

Do all the pros dress as Heidi?

hartson interested in the wales job? what a retard!

[pink_triangle]

Hartsons a pretty inspirational bloke but not sure he is managerial material. The candidates according to the media are

1. Giggs- Still playing and was never that committed anyway

2. Saunders - Done nothing at a conference team so why should he get the wales job.

3. Speed - Just got job so unlikely

4. O neil - Dream on, the wales job is only going to attract welshman and championship level managers

5. Coleman - Wouldnt be the worse choice, didnt do bad in the premeirship. Didnt inspire st coventry.

6. Jackett - Completely uninspiring

7. Flynn - Topped a group with france u21, tops a group with italy u21s. Has worked with the majority of players.

All common sense points to option 7 but common sense isnt what the welsh fa are known for.

[pink_triangle]

but is it common sense? you look at the villa caretaker. done wonders with the villa youth, but doesn't look like he could make the step up. it's one thing doing a job like that out of the spotlight, and another thing taking on the main team. think this is all according to big nose thompson.

[ampersand]

The thing is villa can attract and afford a far higher calibre manager than wales can. As I said welshman exculding the managers applying are not the type of person who will have much experience in the limelight. Brian Flynn has managed 3 sides and all have improved under him. There is no evidence that good players make good managers. Other countries promote from within and get success, why not us. I dont think there is a great spotlight on the wales job anyway, the media is south wales dominated and rugby obsessed.
