  1. I can remember Rodwell being talked about as a certainty for a long England career. But like so many others, he just couldn't stay fit - but still, I'm sure £70k a week for 4 years was some compensation. Certainly more than was earned by many similarly injury-plagued players, such as the likes of Christian Ribeiro (ex-City, retired at 28 IIRC). Grauniad article about Jack Rodwell
  2. No-one is going to buy Kalas when he's on huge wages when they can get him for nothing (and no doubt a lower wage) in less than 12 months; anyway, he's injured. Same could be said for HNM and Bents, to some extent.
  3. Cute little ground, one big stand, 3 little, surrounded by fields except you have to go through an industrial estate to get there.
  4. As others have said, I think he would flourish in a better team, one that isn't struggling for shape and confidence. There's a player in there, for sure. I seem to recall lots also didn't rate Hartley, back in the day...
  5. But at the same time, the important thing is they are watching. I don't watch a huge amount of women's football, but I was really impressed.
  6. Religion is a belief in the irrational, used to control the feeble minded. Feminism is plain decency and common sense.
  7. You never watched football in the '70s, did you? ?
  8. God, Ian Wright makes nothing but bovine comments
  9. No. 14 for Germany (Anyomi? Sp.) is making a huge difference
  10. England are tired and their style is too focused on running
  11. Lots of tired legs, Germany's shorter game more effective
  12. Yeah, Russo has to drop maybe a bit deeper, get more involved
  13. I have watched women's footie previously, felt it was an interesting comparison to the men's game. But the standard has soared, and will only keep improving. I have spent today watching the women's tour de France, now an England women's game in front of a FULL Wembley.
