    Obviously I want my team to win everything, I'm not stupid. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing how the likes of Newcastle and Spurs do in the CL. In the years I've watched football, it's been "the (old) big four" every year with the exception of City this season and Spurs the season before. I might have watched the last time Newcastle were playing in the CL, but I'm not sure. It was very early in my football-watching days and I likely didn't watch as much.

    hope this answers your question.

    ps: with the cup final coming next week, would you mind saying andy carroll is crap and couldn't possibly score 8 goals against chelsea in one game? cheers.

    I hope Norwich are that rubbish next weekend. A draw between Chelsea and Newcastle on Wednesday would be helpful too.

    Southampton back in the Premiership! I'd like Blackpool to make it up through the playoffs, not crazy about the other three teams.

    OK, fair play, that was a quality hat trick. The lob was perfection.

    It really pains me to say this but... Suarez is an absolute twat.

    Ooh, that wasn't painful at all!

    Andy Carroll is crap and couldn't possibly score 8 goals against chelsea in one game.

    Agree regarding Blackpool. Reeeeeally hoping they go up.

    Steve Kean must be the worst manager involved in professional sports. Setting up a team in danger of relegation to defend for 90mins. Absolutely shocking, I feel bad for Blackburn I really do.

    Alex McLeish is worse. The likes of Steve Kean and Terry Connor are just out of their depth.

    This means after weeks of worrying it may just look like Sir Brendan will stay at Unemploymentville for at least another season. I know the FA would come through.

    Seriously though, I think he's a good choice. He has bags of experience at a national level, european level and big team level, something Redknapp does not have (that, and he can read and write and knows how to fill in a tax return). The overwhelming public support for Arry though means he's doomed from the start. Lose to France in the Euros? SEE, GLORIOUS ENGLISH HARRY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANAGER. HODGSON OUT.

    With the endless press support for Redknapp, they'll have their knives out for Hodgson from the off. I feel sorry for the poor guy already.

    Roy Hodgson is apparently the first person they have ever appointed that has prior international experience. He has proven himself at being capable of taking teams that have never been that good and moving them up to have their best ever rankings and qualifying for tournaments they had not qualified for in decades. Hey may do just that with England, taking them to the heights of semi-finals or something.

    More than likely, he'll do rubbish for the same reason all the others do rubbish, and get blamed for everything because clearly no other person can ever be at fault but the manager.

    Actually yeah the more you think about it the more Woy makes sense, purely because he's at his best when he's taking a team of trout and making it do better than it should, and no matter how blind most England fans are the squad and pool of players to pick it from is atrocious compared to the other big nations in World football. Plus he will rub his face when England inevitably fail. I am looking forward to this!
