What a waste of 8 million squid........in Ontario they don't spend $8 chasing non-tax payers. Those English have alot to learn.

Anyway the Spurs go marching on. Time to line up Mourinho to take us to the next level.
I think Harry will stay.

Early rants? I dont think I ever said he was Guilty per se but that the evidence tended to suggest that he might be found guilty.
Lining up Jose wow theres a vote of confidence for Arrys abilities

Pardew's done a great job with very little talent at his disposal so he'd be great for England.

On a completely unrelated matter, I was told that there was a loud cheer today at the headquarters of the British Brown Paper Bag Manufacturers Association

**** me, I wrote this just before FC resigned. Okay, so he wasn't sacked but clearly I can predict the future - almost. Who wants to know lottery numbers of Saturday?

Harry will go and Levy will let him. He's done a deal with Levy that he can leave for England if the opportunity arises. It's just sooner than I would've liked. sStill, Pardew for Spurs would be okay too...

I don't give a flying one who's England manager, how about Alex Ferguson or Wenger?

I've always believed that England's place in world football is top 8 and no more therefore quarter finals in world cups and possibly semis in euros is about right..... the problem is that for some reason public expectation puts England in the final every time which is completely unrealistic....

..the situation in 1966 was different the day England ran on to the pitch in the 1966 world cup final they had never been beaten by Germany in a football match....it would have been a major major upset if Germany had won that game !!!..things changed....... Germany have won all but 2 games against England in last 44 years ...... whoever is selected as England manager is almost certainly going to provide another pile of disappointment and a less than glorious end to their career

Wenger, Ferguson, Hiddink, Mourinho would not touch the job with a barge pole

To quote the best manager England never had

'"I'm sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd, because that's exactly what I would have done." B Clough

Ah, but how long was he paid for? He resigned so I suppose there's np golden parachute.

Hmm. Perhaps I should do it as a retirement hobby. Do you know where to apply online?

I agree. Also agree with Jimmydean that Semis is the best they can hope for anyway.
