In fairness there's been three matches, and the other two were as entertaining as half of the Premier League games that Sky have shown, and better than all the FA Cup matches BBC have shown lately.
Seems a cheap shot to question the entire Sky coverage after one, admittedly shite, game.

I think you are getting confused, there is a big difference between excitement and quality, the Glens v Blues match on Boxing day was a lot of things but exciting wasnt one of them. It is just a poor standard of football. Always will be.

I'll be the first to jump in now- I'm bored with Benitez, did great in the cup competitions but I'm not sure that he sees the big picture in English league football, or that he can do enough to persuade the Hicks/Gilette axis of evil that he deserves more cash for better players.

I'd be happy enough to see him go come the summer.

I'm open to suggestions about who can do a job though. Martin O Neill would be my first choice, Jose and coat of many colours would be fit for it, but I'd say he'd need big commitments in writing from the septics before he'd go for it. Any other decent managers out there?

Starting to feel the same way myself,And not juming on a bandwagon i posted that a few months back too....

As for managers..Klinsman was decent enough with Germany was he ever with a club?
What about Paul Jewell? He's a scouser and im sure if a offer came in he wouldn't hesitate in leaving Derby..
I doubt O'Neill will leave Villa and really is he that good?
Fair enough he done well at Celtic but i'd fancy my chances as Celtic manager because really that League is only about winning the 4 old firm games as the other teams are pure dung...
Look at Souness he won all around him at Rangers and wasn't a success at Liverpool,Blackburn or Newcastle

My choice would be and i haven't heard his name been mentioned yet is Carlo Ancelotti of AC Milan...But the chances of getting him are slim i would imagine


I would take Mourinho as first choice but it wont happen, dunno about Klinsmann. He was in charge of a team on home soil at World Cup, can you really draw a lot from that? O Neill would not be capable of a job like Liverpool/United in my humble opinion.

QuoteAlso if the Premier League continues in the vain it has been then Ronaldo won't even be f**king PFA player of the year Fabregas will..

Doubtful.  Fabregas had a brilliant start to the season and has been very good since, but Ronaldo has been consistently better than him.  Cesc's star has not been shining as brightly recently.  Plus he is a b*llbag, the incident against Ashley Cole and then his shot in the face antics against Arteta proved that again!

A compelling argument.......

The mind boggles as to why Sky are pumping money into the Irish League, you cant polish a turd. Is it all part of the peace dividend?

The N95 battery life is brutal, but the N95 8gig (Black version) is grand.  Have had it about a month and no problems to date.  It really is the 'dogs balls'!!!

The one im getting is "N95 + 8GB memory card", i take it this isnt the latest one,the black one is i think. Whats the difference? Forgive the ignorance........

Selections for weekend in bold -

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks - Redskins Redskins are playing their best football at the right time.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers -  Jaguars Doubt if Steelers can stop Taylor & Jones- Drew

New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccanneers - Giants If Manning plays smart they should win.
Tennessee Titans at San Diego Chargers - Chargers Too many weapons, no offense for Titans.

3 outta 4 aint bad.

Its easy to say Ronaldo doesn't do it in big games but if you look at his performances for Portugal in major tournaments you can see that is not necessarily the truth. He has been superb for them every time I see him. In big Euro ties and top 4 prem games opposition team specifically focus on stopping Ronaldo so often he looks like he's not doing the business at crucial times. There might be some truth in it but he is some player at the end of the day. He can be kept out of a game for almost all of it and still pop in a goal or two and set one up like against Arsenal the night of the "I'll see you out there" row.

The other two are better than him though. Kaka is at the peak of his powers. He is a fantastic player and for me the worlds best at present. Messi will take that title from him shortly. He is incredibly talented and should go on to be the standout player in the world for a while to come.

Hasn't Ronaldinho's star fallen very quickly.

Agree with that Seanie, i saw a stat about Ronaldinho the other day, everyone is saying he is past it but i think he has scored 45 goals in last 73 La Liga appearances, dont think he is finished just yet. Another one that is fast approaching that level is Robinho, he is becoming far more effective for Madrid now with an end product to all the circus tricks. Similar to Ronaldo 2-3 years ago when he first came to United.

Lads i am thinking of getting Nokia N 95 on contract, have read a few reviews and the one constant seems to be poor battery life which i can live with, electricity is in plentiful supply where i live. Anyone have one? some reviews say it is the dogs gonads others not so good. Cheers

I usually do a £5 four timer, at odds of 1/2 upwards, will make you around £25, so you arent gonna get the head cleaved off you by the missus and the children wont go starving if you lose a few of them.
