    IMO, the reason the team does well is because the manager isn't strong enough to pick a team but instead picks the players. Gerrard and Lampard have consistantly under-performed for England, yet they continously get picked. Lampard gets injured and Barry finally gets his case, but ultimately, he messes it up, and now won't be back. They play in the strong system and in the wrong style. A big Phil would fix that.
    A player like Gareth Barry would be a star for us against the best teams in the world, he'll never be a star for England. No matter who they pick they just can't get the best out of them.

    Kevin Keegan - became City manager

    Sven Goran Eriksson - became City manager

    Steve McClaren - ????

    Worrying pattern developing!

    They are reverting it to a grass pitch during their close season because they are hosting the Champions League final and that competition rules state it has to be played on real grass - a bit hypocritical from UEFA I think if its good enough for a qualifier but not for a final?

    Bit hypocritical given that FIFA have been plugging the plastic pitches and yes, as you said UEFA deem them suitable for euro2008 qualifying but not for club competition.

    Although I have to say - the chamion's league final is bigger than the World cup final IMO. In fact I reckon I'd rather watch 4 weeks of solid champ's league than 4 weeks of world cup.

    I was thinking id love to see that at some point, maybe like a once off some year, a proper world club cup, exactly the same as the world cup, with the closeness of games and everything. Maybe some year theres no world cup or Euro's. Would be awesome!!

    Have to say I don't agree with that. Winning the world cup unites nations, the champions league doesn't have nearly the same effect. I'm guessing you're a Liverpool fan though?! :p
