Any second now....<br /><br />No matter the England squad that is released later, I'm sure they'll be some shite in there. Either too many of the old fuckers who are past it (I'm looking at you Fat Frank), or too many Utd players who are too shit, and only in the team because of who they play for (I'm looking at you Cleverly, Jones, Smalling, Welbeck). Let's hope Roy finds a happy medium. Maybe Glenn Hoddle knows one.<br /><br />I hate reading all the pundits saying how all the neutrals wanted Liverpool to win the league. Well I was neutral, and I wanted City to win. I don't know any City fans, but I have a lot of Liverpool supporting mates who all got a bit too smug for my liking this season. So that's why I wanted City to win.<br /><br />Speaking of smug people (me), I've only gone and won the most prestigious fantasy sports competition in the entire solar system - the Jacks H2H league.

I think the inexperience of being in that position was what killed them in the end. Many will point to the fact that they weren't involved in Europe as a factor that they did so well. I'll reserve judgement until next year when they will be playing in the CL. I'm sure the players and the manager will be stronger for this years experience though.<br /><br />Chelsea ended up empty handed which ofcourse pleases me no end, I don't like Maureen (just in case you hadn't noticed) I don't like his arrogant attitude, his disrespect of other managers, his hypocrisy and negative tactics. For the rest he's probably a great guy though. ;) He'll now open his little ponybank and splash out on (a few) world class strikers, because having the likes of Torres (50mill) Ba, Eto o (former highest paid player on the planet) and Lukaku (surplus to requirements) just wasn't enough this season. Maybe he could recall one of the 26 players they have loaned out to improve his little horse of a team.<br /><br />Everton under Martinez looked good, just failing to get to the promised land of the CL, if they were battling against any other team I would of wanted them to do it, but again, I think it was inexperience that did for them too in the end. Spurs splashed out 110 mill to finish a place lower then the previous term, getting rid of yet another manager in the process and replacing him with a subsitute teacher, Timmy gets a lot of grief, mostly from his own supporters, but did you know he has a beter win percentage then any previous Spertz manager in the PL? Levy will probably can his arse though.<br /><br />If you're looking for the real surprise of the season then look no futher then 7th placed United. The total capulation of the team that won the CL at a canter last term has been of Titanic proportions and delighted many a supporter worldwide. In the end it was almost sadening to see how far they've sunk......... <br /><br />I said almost.<br /><br /> Holloway2Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009190036045297758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272939963457395740.post-29847291218624409842014-05-11T19:30:43.023+01:002014-05-11T19:30:43.023+01:00Hello I've been stalking for almost 2 years

There's first and there's losers. The talent pool has been dramatically diluted though with other sports gaining prominence and all the other choices that kids are faced with, 2hours of video games or computer or tv often beats 2 hours of kickin' a ball around. Football just isn't that important to a high percentage of English kids any more.TrotterUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880723370792516072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272939963457395740.post-25603707461252380672014-05-11T14:06:21.095+01:002014-05-11T14:06:21.095+01:00Just a thought on the problems with English footba...Just a thought on the problems with English football, a topic that has made a regular appearance at Robbo's going back to the bbc days (don't recall Robbo writing too many blogs on the subject though.)<br /><br />You can make a case against poor coaches at junior level and a dwindling pool of players to pick from and blame the fa and the pl. What I think the main problem is, is our attitude to sport. Let's face it, we're pretty much shit at all sports that we compete in.. every now and then an Englishman/woman will emerge a champion but in general we are fucking useless and I put it down to attitude or lack of it. I can remember being told, while growing up in Upper Clapton, by parents, relatives, sports teachers and football and cricket coaches alike, "It's not winning that counts but how you play the game." That sort Of attitude towards sport will maybe win you a number of friends but fuck all else. <br /><br />I never heard it said in Australia, except in more recent years by a new breed of social worker who are trying to remove the importance of winning from 5-6 year-olds in sporting events. In Australia it's all about winning. There is no second place, if you don't win you are nothing. That may seem a bit harsh but when you look at what Aussie sportsmen and women have achieved compared to their English counterparts it seems to have held them in good stead.<br /><br />Don't be surprised if The Aussies win the WC before another Engkand team manage itBojanglesOfOzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354253033665396279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272939963457395740.post-22720118614897041512014-05-11T12:59:42.929+01:002014-05-11T12:59:42.929+01:00Holy cow, tht's a cracker.Holy cow, tht's a cracker.TrotterUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880723370792516072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272939963457395740.post-39083910163593315692014-05-11T11:58:54.573+01:002014-05-11T11:58:54.573+01:00H2H is always high.H2H is always high.Holloway2Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009190036045297758noreply@blogger.com
