    Good to see Aaron Lennon showing some decent form in the Carlisle/Everton game.

    I am allowed one at Christmas. If they don't make it to New Year then tough, I have to do without! There used to be a pint glass as well but I'm on a diet!

    Just seen Chavs get a pen, scored by Hazard. He then kisses the badge - so he's definitely staying at Chelski then.

    He's been at Chelsea as long as the majority of their fans and been as loyal. so it should be fine with them.

    I heard Terry does something similar with his dog.

    But not with Roman. No new contract for next season. I guess Mrs Terry Snr had better get the coat with the big pockets out again?

    So will John Terry leaving the Chavs have a similar effect to the ravens leaving the Tower of London?

    Haven't seen much Championship level football this season but they have been really **** in this round if the FA cup. Derby were really disappointing considering how high in the league they are. MK Dons were just laughable defensively.

    Teddy Sheringham has been sacked as manager of Stevenage.
    Their chairman has blamed a glut of serious injuries, which has hit their form hard.
    Why the **** did he sack him, then? <confused>

  15. Former strikers don't seem to make good managers, do they!

    Teddy is just another Clough/Robson. :)

    Former Spurs players don't seem to make good managers either, do they. ;)

    A theory....seems as though they spend their careers seeking glory.

    Defenders defend then watch the game a lot, constantly analysing, gaining knowledge etc...just a theory...base one at that.

    I pretty much agree with this. They also tend to be less talented footballers, so they have to make up for it by understanding the game.
    I think it's the same with punditry. Gary Neville wasn't as good as Giggs, Scholes, Owen, etc., so he actually had to analyse things.
    He needed to understand exactly what was going on, as he couldn't just rely on his instincts.

    You don't get many keepers as managers, though and I'd have thought that this would apply to them, too.
    Maybe it's because they're all a bit... special? Spurcat's going to love that suggestion! <laugh>

  19. It's a sound theory, Spurlock.

    A defender has, always, to play from the back, and weigh-up his midfield, with every decision he makes. A striker is, more often than not, simply waiting to time his run off the back 4 to lock on to the through-ball. You'd expect, as a matter of course, for a defender to have a greater appreciation of the entire dynamic of a football team, than would a striker.

    Oh, great. Now he has carte blanche to call himself the ... special one.
