Maybe Roy isn't the managerial genius after all........................so should be Capello's replacement!

[Harcus]

Roy astoundingly managed to match our manager for levels of delusion in his post-match comments!

Noticed that on breakfast this morning too

Fit was Roy saying?

 

I thought Liverpool were just out fought. Everton wanted it more and didn't make any mistakes.

[Kowalski]

I know Spurs are down to 10 men, but Inter started the game brilliantly - almost like watching Barcelona, the way they were passing it about.

[mizer]

4 nil to Inter now

[Kowalski]

Eto'o - 2 goals, 2 assists.  15 goals in 13 games (I think).  Time for Sir Alex to take a look?

[mizer]

Agent foster at his best

 

To be fair, Naismith and Miller had also excellent chances and fluffed them.

[manc_don]

I couldn't watch the game and had to leave after 3-0. Inter were playing some great football. But i did not expect to read that spurs had clawed back 3 goals. Was it likely they could have got an equaliser Kow?

Think they just ran out of time. I think their 3rd was quite deep into injury tme.

An unbelievably shambolic start to the game for Spurs tho. One of the pundits said at half time that the first couple of years in the CL should be used to learn. I think that would be about right for this game. A learning experience for Redknapp and the players.

[Harcus]

I suppose it could be said Redknapp was somewhat naive going 4-4-1-1 at the San Siro. He wasn't helped by Bassong and Gallas being terrible though.

True, but I dont think anything would have prevented the first goal, or even the pressure that forced the keepers mistake for the pen. Inter (much as I hate to say it) were just brilliant.

[Harcus]

Well, they highlighted at HT that both Hutton and Jenas being pulled out of position for the first goal, allowing Zanetti in, while Ekotto(?) and Gallas were far too far apart for the second goal. Doesn't take anything away from a fantastic first half for Inter though.

Against any good team in the champ's league I'd be surprised if those players weren't equivalent to a 1 goal handicap each.

Watching this Napoli Pool game is tempting me to give up on footie completely. The standard is fucking awful in all but maybe half a dozen games across europe per season.

 

Pathetic.

Was pretty awful eh? Liverpool were well short of full stength though. Joe Cole, short of match fitness, was on the bench. Curious tactic that.

The standard of footballing was shocking though, mostly the passing by both teams.

Final nail in Hodgsons coffin I'd say.

Anyone see the lech Poznan fans? Absolute nutters! Looked like great fun though

Saw that, aye. Was saying in the pub at the time that it looked superb. They played wuite well too. In the second half anyway. I was hoping they'd snatch a draw.

Aye, I thought they looked very handy.

City will cetainly find it tough over there in their next Europa League game.

[glasgow sheep]

QotS 1-5 Falkirk

Looks like we'll have some game on our hands on Tuesday.

From the BBC "Live" site

 

1200: Are you ready to leave the rational world behind and enter the realm of the Old Firm? Anything can happen over the next couple of hours. Just don't say 'it's only a game'. This is sport at its borderline-lunatic best.

 

Apart from changing "best" to "worst"
