Looking at Ligue 1 in France, second place Monaco are closer in terms of points to the team in the last relegation place (19 ahead) than they are to PSG one place above them (25 behind). Glad the Prem is a mite more competetive.
Ibrahimovic says if Paris replace the Eiffel Tower with a statue of him he will stay. A few years ago he was angry with his home population for voting Bjorn Borg ahead of him in a vote of Sweden's greatest people. Self opinionated and not even especially talented, I wouldn't want him in my team at any price!
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is in talks to become director of football at Championship side Derby County, BBC Radio Derby reports.
Oh dear, another former "biggish club" that will soon be on the verge of bankruptcy and wallowing about in the lower reaches of the League.
He seems to have got over his knee operation very quickly - the one he needed and forced him to quit QPHa...
One of the true greats of the beautiful game has passed away aged 68. RIP Johan Cruyff Who knows how much he'd be worth in today's game.
Very good performance from England even when going 2 down. Just shows what can be done with players in form who have a bit of confidence..
Good goal tonight for England by Vardy. As was his goal against the Germans. Shame he'll be dropped to make way for his captain.
Yes - 2 Leicester players scoring in Internationals (Kante netted for France) I'd take Rooney but only if he was fully fit and certainly not as a certain starter. The defence remains a worry - yes the 2nd Dutch goal was a foul but they caused us a few problems.
Back to the usual pile of crap after another false dawn in Germany. Why international players think its ok to pass the ball from one to the other without making the slightest progress towards the opposition goal beggars belief. Like watching paint dry. It obviously didn't take Hodgson long to coach any attacking intention out of the side. Garbage. I will not be wasting a moment in the summer watching this.
That is how we and most teams play TBH - very slow play hoping to get through the middle. We all try and cope Barca but of course don't have the players to do so. It's why teams like Leicester and dare I say Bournemouth have been a joy to watch for the neutral.
Why do we play such a leisurely style when our successful Premiership sides play at a fast pace? I would like to have seen a Vardy Deeney 442 tonight. What do others think would have happened if we had? I'm thinking of the level of urgency, industry, pace and aggression.
