Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 He's got a few this season, not bad considering he started out as a Tefal man, none sweeter than todays though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 It was always likely, or at least i always thought they'd bomb out of both cups at the same time and suddenyl realise they'd done shite in the league and had nothign to take from the whole season (sounds familiar!) I would expect Steaua to score in the return leg as they look capable and as long as they don't do a Basel and collapse it'll be curtians for the smogs.

All i can say is god help England if McClaren is the next manager 126636[/snapback] I wouldn't blame McLaren. In fact he seems to have a plan b (swithing between 3-5-2 and 4-4-2) and isn't scared to chuck extra strikers on to try and change a game (vs. Basle). Better than Svens vanilla 4-4-2 and like-for-like subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will give the players eg Beckham too much power and will be a 'yes' man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swen was dumbstruck and McClaren was seen saying 'Sven? Sven? Sven?' This showed that McClaren at least knew something needed to be done - whether the swede did anything or not.

That's who Jeeenus reminds me of. I was trying to think of Hargreaves' name the other day, but he is so innocuous I couldn't!

I don't think the FA are going to be very happy with Boro's results this week - even last week when McClaren was getting plaudits it didn't stop people criticising their supposed number one choice. For what it's worth I think McClaren will be no worse than Sven, which will do for me, so long as we get O'Neill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email Us Chat Forum Mail article Print article Luis Felipe Scolari has emerged as the new favourite for the England job after the FA realised that nobody wanted Steve McClaren. The Boro boss had looked set to get the nod simply because the panel could not agree on an outstanding candidate, but lack of support from the media and the public could see them think again. Portugal boss Scolari has always been the choice of Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, who has pushed strongly for the man who won the World Cup with Brazil. Dein has fought against appointing the continuity candidate in McClaren, who is nobody's favourite but the least offensive alternative. The panel will meet for the final time on Wednesday to make a decision, with Noel White and Dave Richards likely to have to climb down on their insistence on an English manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think other managers and players should shut up and just let them get on with it. Couldn't believe Southgate coming out yesterday and saying that his own manager wasn't ready for the job yet. Also today Stuart Pearce is questioning the idea of it being Scolari. Shut it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever get to another semi-final they should play the game at a smaller venue with Boro getting only 1/4 of the capacity. Shower of shit tbh.

The phone-ins were chokka bloc with irate irons fans wanting him out. There was even a consortium (led by that little twat that went to play for Everton - Cottee) ready to take over with Cottee being interviewed on talkSPORT and saying Pardew would be got rid of.

Then he ran back to his bench, went for a high-five with someone and missed completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
