They aren't in Europe which could be an advantage. Though a lot depends on whether they can keep their players. Pienaar looks to be off for starters and they don't appear to have much money to get a decent replacement in.

I would love for us to get the World Cup in 2018 but thanks to the bickering of the bid committee and that rag the Mail it is all ruined. Triesman is an idiot and shouldn't have said it but the mail has to take some responsibility, they have sought to boost it sales at the expense of our...

Any surprise omissions from the World Cup squads? I was quite surprised to see Benzema missing from the French side - poor season or not I think he would have done a job for a weak looking French outfit. I saw this article about the best players who haven't made the World Cup the other day and...

This. Their fans will kick off at every opportunity as well. Cardiff v Stoke as a PL fixture anyone???

Was gutted for Fulham, Atletcio were always favourites in the pre-match predictions but I just thought it would be one of those nights were things fell nice for Fulham. I wonder of Hodgson will stay? He surely can't take them much further, unless Al-Fayed will use the proceeds from his Harrods...

Re: Hart's constant complaints about coming back Agree 100%, it is nice to think that players have loyalty but the truth is they don't and will just follow the money. Plus after a year playing first team football he won't come back to sit on the bench as he wants to play for England and that...

Some pretty poor lookalikes here- Sven's so bad, he looks like my dad! Poor looking lookalikes

Jo was a waste of space, he can go on a free!! Anything to get him off our books!!

Yeah I agree, Redknapp winning the other award was a joke. They talk about how Redknapp turned Spurs around, forgetting they already had a expensively assembled squad when he took over. Fulham were dying on their arse when Hodgson took over and he has turned them around in two years and on a...

It seems pointless to play him alongside De Jong as they are both similar players. I would prefer someone more creative in the centre with Barry as a sub, he would be a useful player to bring should De Jong gets injured.

Sorry if it has already been mentioned but did anyone here the comments of Sepp Blatter this week regarding the 2018 World Cup? This is the jist of it "...what they presented is remarkable. Russia is not a country but a continent and Russia has big plans to expand. “Listen, it (England's bid)...

How our priorities change! We would have given anything for a CC win a few years back! TBH honest a title challenge will be tougher than people think however we should sustain a challenge for a but longer than this year. However I think No1 priority should be Champions League and then a trophy...

They will always keep back a % of tickets to be sold on a match by match basis. As for the 50,000 waiting list, hmmm well I know they had one as my Liverpool supporting mate had to wait about 8 years before he could get his, but that was back in the late 90s. Given their troubles I expect a lot...

Yeah I'm not sure Lennon is match fit so he will be used in an emergency. They will have Huddlestone and Palacios in front of the back four so the movement of Tevez and Bellamy will be important, would play De Jong and Barry wit AJ offering some width, otherwise it will get to congested in...

Hopefully that means they are BOTH staying next season.

The way we have bounced back from the rags result makes me think we will win it. I agree with these tipsters and think it will be 2-1 us, Tevez and Bellamy scoring.

Agreed, with all the cash floating around the club we are always going to attract some mercenaries but as long as we don't have a full team of 'em we are ok. That's why 4th in crucial becasue we will sign ambitious players rather than ones who think 'job done' as soon as they sign their £100,000...

ha ha! quality!

I thought they were going to sneak it tonight TBH but as was predicted in this preview before the game the lack of an away goal in Madrid cost them, oh well! They don't deserve it anyway because the fans saw it as a consolation prize, like they have some god given right to be in the Champions...

I know what you mean, full backs are usually smaller and quicker, but having a tall full back will be a great asset, especially at set pieces.Thinking of other world class gull backs Isn't Maicon 6 foot+?
