i guess he was fed up with the little money he got at Blackburn. Think they will be in real trouble now he has left.

I bet El Tel will be linked to this post now he has lost out at Newcastle

Well half time in cardiff, 2-1 to Northern Ireland.

Hughes and Savage sent off after 8 minutes, Healy sent off after scoring a goal of making some type of gesture.

What a rubbish ref, 3 yellow cards would have sorted it and we coould have had a good game.

OK, just seen the replay of Healys sending off. After scoring he kicked the corner flag, and then looked for his family in the crowd and stuck his fist in the air towards them. The ref then gave him a yellow for kicking the flag over, which is fair enough, he then gave him another yellow for putting his fist in the air to his family!!!!! WTF??

With regards to Hughes, yes it was a bad tackle and reaction, so maybe he did deserve to be sent off . As for savage, i can't see any reason for him to be shown a red card.

This ref should never be allowed to ref an international match again!!

Sounds an excellent game to me - Savage finally sent off - football fans everywhere will be cheering that one :)

In other news:
No Man United players on the pitch for England after Neville went off injured - count the East Londoners though (Cole, Terry, King, Lampard, Beckham, Defoe).

Vieira sent off for calling people names - excellent, he doesn't play against the Irish and should be fit and fresh for the Arsenal.

The ironic thing is, he usually does something and doesn't get sent off for it, this time he did nothing and got sent off!!!

can anyone tell me why Sven is raving over Defoe. Ok he scored but he is a striker standing in the box who got the ball turned and put it in the net. That is what strikers do, part from Heskey.

Owen and Smith would have done the same if they had the ball. Defoe didn't score a run like Owen's against Agentina in 98, it wasn't a 20 yard screamer like Chartlon or even a drop the shoulder and run at the defenders like Cruyff.

he didn't really do much other work in the matchand never really had a created for himself or others any other chances.

Sven just doesn't seem to have a clue but he has now become one of his favourites and will surely start all the matches until we get Rooney back.

the rest of the performance was poor and the defence was rubbish.. we saw the danger in the first half, not sure if Sven did, and at half time our 4 million a year manager is meant to watch this and correct it for the second half or even shout out to the players on the pitch and tell them what to do.

Charrager was poor and just done backwards passes all night and never penetrated, Hargreaves isn't good enough for this level either

Bit of a sweeping statement :rolleyes:

Lets get this straight - Defoe didnt play well (despite scoring one and having another good chance) because he did not play like Cruyff or Charlton!

And Hargreaves cannot play at this level but can play a pivotal role for a top CL side in Bayern Munich. Why was Hargreaves not good enough in the 2 minutes he played - what exactly are you basing that statement on?

Two away games, 4 points and both these sides due to come to England (would have been six but for one individual error which happens in any sport).

Why can't English fans be happy, we have played well, Sven makes changes which come off and still people continue to slate him. Do we have to be brainwashed by the media into what we think regarding the England team?? :mad: :rolleyes:

Two games, four points and what should be comfortable qualification to follow. :tu:

LOL. Does look like we're just about to adopt the Real Madrid / Kevin Keegan tactic though.
