Andorra or Argentina...hmmm not sure which to choose. I think Andorra just edges it for the lifestyle.

look how many european names

Lie down, fredie. Have you been abducted by aliens and rejected?

It would seem that another thing that Fredie doesn't have a clue about is that names themselves do not indicate ethnic roots. This can be the case with people of mixed race, and it's also the case where people have ancestors who were slaves and were, therefore, given the family names of their owners – which in many cases would be northern European names.

And England is not "in the middle of Europe", as even some basic knowledge of geography would show him.

Given the ethnic diversity of the current England squad, Fredie's claim that four players (with names that he recognises as non-traditional English ones) are picked as a "token" merely illustrates, yet again, that he can manage to make pig shît look intelligent.

Extremely difficult to judge anything against such opposition (not least because they're niggly and with no tactical ambition beyond getting every man behind the ball), but I'd agree with that.

Or you could just ban him



Thought Beckham and Johnson were excellent last night, and Rooney looked really sharp too.

I wonder what will happen to Becks in October when his deal runs out with LA Galaxy? Don't think he is going back to Milan so I wonder if he will come back to the PL, he has to be playing in a top league to have a chance of going to the WC.

Typo, etc...

That can't be true, Liverpool fans keep telling me that Gerrard is one of the worlds best up front?

i think you'll fing they are saying shooooot

He had so much space last night; I can't see that he won't find another good club, though. His fitness levels are good and he doesn't have a record of being madly injury prone. It'll be interesting to see.

Ta ra Ronaldo!
Madrid officially offer 80 million quid and United have let him talk to them after stating his wish to leave.

Man U will undoubtedly find it hard to replace the player but these funds should allow them to sign 2 or 3 world class strikers. Maybe Villa will go to Old Trafford?

Bad news for Barça as I think United will make a move for Ribery.

Good business from United, obviously he will be a loss but I think others will take on a more prominent role i.e Rooney, I expect Valencia to replace him and Benzema to come in.


Thank you Ronaldo for 6 great years. Viva Ronaldo.

Who would you like to see replace him? It seems like Valencia is being lined up, but I can't see him stepping into the massive boots CR7 could leave.

I'd hate to see you sign Ribery

ribery doesn't fancy the weather apparently -

you have to appreciate his honesty.

huge boots to fill, but as stated, it's rooneys chance to shine even more, and stop being manoevered around to accomodate others.

He is. When he's behind FT9 of course



I admit, Gerrard is fairly average for England when compared to his Liverpool form, but I'd rather judge him over 50 games for Liverpool, than 10 games for England.

The new John Barnes

My thoughts exactly. £80m? Thank you very much.

Wow. £80m quid. Perez really wants to get that Championship back!

Benzema is definetly going to Man Utd this summer then and they still have £50m probably to spend.

This could push them further away from Liverpool and Chelsea for next season.

I just wonder what route he'll go down, when Beckham left he decided to sign a young teenager, and molded him into the player he is now, it took time but it was worth it in the end. Will ge go through this process again, maybe signing somebody like Douglas Costa who you were linked with in the past? Or will he go out and sign somebody like Valencia, or Ribery, and settle for that?

Sad to see probably the most skillful player to grace these shores since George Best but for £80 million up front you can't really say no. Will be interesting to see who comes in

Great move from United! This summer was the only time they would get that sort of money from Madrid.

Heard De Rossi is the player that United want , but would expect Benzema or Villa or maybe Tevez to come in now along with Valencia.

Ronaldo , great player but i certainly won't miss his attitude

When did Man Utd win the CL in 2006?

Goodbye Ronaldo and take your diving to Spain with you.
