Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Out of curiosity, and I don't have the answer to this, who is the most decorated current player at the moment?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

if you mean still playing then would have to be Ryan Giggs, 8 Prem titles, 1 European Cup, 1 League Cup, 3 FA Cups, 1 Inter-Continental Cup,

think if you mean retired as well then I think it's Phil Neil from Liverpool

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Much more important:

1) Can football or at least sport have its own forum or sub-forum? one topic is not enough because conversations just get replaced and some times people can come on and we have gone though 2 topics already.

2) Ranieri is going.....

Its a shame, hes a good manager and the fans want him so what on earth are they doing?! But much more interestingly he says he knows whos taking over "just like you" the only person that keeps getting mentioned is Sven so it looks like he is off the chelsea.
So any other ideas, and who should be the next England manager?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Correct !!!!!!!!!!

I remember that final only too well, I was still running around the room after united equalised, then Arsenal got their third grrrrrrrrrrr

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

I think one thread is working well at the moment.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Anelka was in the French side in 2000

Desailly hasn't won the premiership

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

We have about 3 topics on the go here

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

he might be talking about Mourinho of Porto or even someone like Lippi.. Doesn't have to be Sven.. Don't think Sven is that great a manager really... he just reads the Sun looks at who the fans think should play for England then picks then.. He was the man who picked Rickets, Powell, Vassell, Heskey, Phil Neville :mad: and at the WC Sinclair wasn't good enough to make the squad and then played in nearly all the games :Yikes:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

2 very good points and shows what i know about football :dunce: . have misplaced the fag packet that's got all i know about football written on it

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

I think it is him because of the comment that people know who it is the only person mentioned is sven

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

if it is Sven i think that can only be good for England.. although can't really think of any other decent managers we could put in his place

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Can anyone tell me what Sven has done for your national team which has earned him such acolades as to have him (allegedly) in the running for the Chelsea job?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

I think hes done alright, we only get beaten by brazil in the WC and getting into europe wasn't too tricky. We are not that good a team to win the WC but he take us as far as we could go.

We should give our managers more time

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

After all the hoo-ha of the last few weeks, I think that Sven knows he would get absolutely blasted if he now took the Chelsea job. I know that there will be various options and clauses in his new England contract but, bearing in mind his misgivings over the way he has been treated by the English media (rightly or wrongly †“ you make your own decision on that ;) ), I wouldnââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t be surprised if he left England if he resigns.

The most recent suggestions for the Chelsea job have been Mourinho (untested outside Portugal), Lippi (very successful), and Trappatoni (if he leaves the Italy job).

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

But you were knocked out of the World Cup at the usual point, and qualification for the Euro tournament is something England have never really had a problem doing.

So really, he hasn't done any better or worse than, say your last 10 managers.

(Apart from Graham Taylor).

So why is Sven considered to be so special? When SAF was thinking of retiring, Sven's name was thrown in to the ring. But why? He has yet to prove himself to be anything special at international level.
