Like I said before, he's tactically inept. Ruined a good thing by trying out his "would be" England 4-4-2 tactics with his players at Spurs and failed miserably.

I know it's not a fair comparison, but the way some people are reacting as if he's underqualified or not the right man compared to 'Arry is ridiculous.

Congrats to Roy. Hope he gets the chance to establish something for young talented managers to follow suit. Hope he turfs out most of the old farts and uses the 4yrs to gel the young'uns in...
Edit: Was just about to add what Stimpy just mentioned.
Burton will be important for future England managers, but I wouldn't be keen on Roy's style of football being used as an example to follow. And this isn't coming from a biased Liverpool fan either. His style of football is boring, defensive and typically English. His style of football has worked well for him, however.
If the FA have a football blueprint, surely they have someone more ambitious in mind. England's style of football doesn't need to be Barca or Spain but even Germany, often seen as one of the industrious nations, have far greater technique.

UEFA has shown today the new design for the CL badge:
I kinda like it, but I still prefer the older one.
That's better for Lecce
, actually.

(yesterday) Former AC Milan player Massimo Oddo : I'm going to stop Juventus for Milan.
(today) Massimo Oddo injured himself and is going to miss his game with Juve

Good luck to Roy
I dont get the outrage and feeling that England deserve or are entitled to a certain level of success

England doesn't have the players to play anything but "boring, defensive and typecially English."

Hopefully they sacrifice him or something in a ritual to wish the new manager luck.

A level of success that let's be honest, Harry probably wouldn't have achieved anyway.
Pretty much. Capello was probably best in the world at boring and defensive, and even he couldn't make it work.
I've just remembered Trap is Ireland boss. Defensive and boring football, fuck yes.

That patch still only for Real, Milan, Liverpool, Ajax and bayern, or does everyone use it (eg United 3, Juventus 2 etc)

Nope, still only for those five teams.
Should've approached Zidane. Rumor has it he's leaving Real by the end of the season and wants to take up coaching.
Eh, it could go either way. Harry has made many mistakes recently but the players have to take some blame as well, we have also had horrible injuries as always. If Harry gets us to 3rd/4th at the end of the season then he will have earned a reprieve. Overall he has been fantastic for the club even if he gets on my tits once in a while.

Beaten.
I'm confused. Why only those five teams? Milan and Real Madrid are the only teams who've one it 7+ times.

The patch is awarded to each team that wins three consecutive Champions League or five overall.
The image is from a Milan-related site, so that's the reason behind the "7". Real will have a 9, Liverpool a 5 and so on.

Ah! I spend at least 45 minutes on each track. I get so frustrated at that damn game though. lol. I keep getting into the top 2-3 at each track but I know where I screw up so I spend more time because I can't string together everything I need to do in one run! I'm OCD in that I must get gold on every track before I can move onto the next track and I can't go out of order. I'm going to die of anxiety when I unlock the platinum medals.
Oh, the '7' on the patch was deceiving. No one has one back to back Champions Leagues though right? So three consecutive is a hell of a feat.
I think I'm missing something from the old era. I def noticed Ajax won three in a row followed by Bayern winning the next three.
(most important year is 1982 though
)Happy for Roy. Boy the press are PISSED they were ignored. Delicious
Good! Bloody good start.

I was talking to a Liverpool fan today who informed me that United are in decline. He took great delight in telling me that Liverpool will seriously be challenging for the title next season and that United will struggle to make top 6.
Joint top of the league while they are 30 odd points below in eight. And we're the ones in decline. Top stuff.

I thought I read somewhere talking about how Barcelona should place all their focus on winning the CL this year because no one has ever defended it. Or something.
EDIT: Maybe because it hasn't happened since it began being called the Champions League.
I like the strange connection that if United are in decline then Liverpool will be fighting for the title. Like if United aren't good than Liverpool must be.
EDIT: Who wants to tell me about Red Star Belgrade? I'm glad I have nothing to do but print and file reports today because I am going to be reading up on all this.

What a weird thing :-|
My wife was telling me a couple of hours ago that some guy on her facebook got arrested because of the flare thing and all the rest. He's her friend because of zoo world or some other stupid facebook game, that's how she added him as a friend.
We're in Cyprus! Lol. What are the chances?
Lol, I love it. Still cant blame him for being a fan though. I confidently predicted Villa would be challenging for 6th this season....
No one has ever won the trophy back to back after the tournament format was changed in 91.

Exactly. Since it's called Champions League, every year a different team won it. Last time that happened was between 1988-1990, when Milan won two consecutive "European Champion Clubs' Cup".

We had a squad that feasibly could, especially with how tight the top 7 all are (plus 8-11 aren't that far away). If only we didn't have a manager who thought the word was "tactic" and not "tactics".

Yeah, unless there's a bunch of dudes posting that just for the laughs
Eitherway, still pretty weird.

Fun fact; Roy Hodgson didn't play for the nearest team to me.
That's a boring fact cock nose
I'd take him. He's a cunt though.
We need a right back, a left back, two centre midfielders, a cheap winger and a striker. I expect an expensive winger.

Fun fact he managed the team closest to me
Shame the gutter press won't give him a chance because he isn't their man

It really is pathetic. Most of the questions at the press conference were about Harry in some way.
I'd take Alves too. But at 29 he's too old and will demand astronomical wages.
I think we'll sign a midfielder and a full back but they'll probably only be squad replacements. They'll strengthen our squad overall but have no impact on first 11. So we'll basically be back to where we started.
Kagawa would be a great signing if we could get him. But I have a feeling that we won't even put in a bid for him.
You probably did some crazy rain dance to make all this rain happen. Fuck you.
