Smiths workrate is immense, his passion is brilliant. I went to watch Manu vs Leeds this season, and Smith's workrate embaressed majority of the Man utd team.. Give him a few games and he'l be just what RVN wants.

No, because he isn't that good IMO

Well, unless Man Utd draw Leeds in the cup competitions that may not happen for several years.

Seeing as all we're going to hear about over the next few weeks is "how close England came to winning Euro 2004" etc I just thought I'd post that to celebrate our win over Canada

Disgusting

At least if they let him go he has the £6milli on severance they have to pay him. Last week there was a lot of speculation that their stalling was in the hope he would just quit, thereby resolving them of the responsibility of paying out. To be honest I think that club is in for more trouble with Abramovich in control.

Well, if that is what happened, good for him for staying put.

You could be right, you will know when Abramovich has had enough, because that two faced money grabbing b*****d Kenyon will be off, he is the one who I dislike the most and I was very pleased when he left OT.

That would be a good move for Liverpool I reckon.

[TheBlueRaja]

Indeed, he has an excellent reputation in the premiership, he says he would like to continue working in the league and i cant think of a manager thats better qualified and available at the moment.

It`s despicable what Chelsea have done to Ranieri. What more could the guy have done, he took them to the semi`s of the European cup and came runners up in the league. I really hope he gets a decent club after this but I dont want him to get Liverpool, he`s too good for them.

[sherer]

just wanted to say well done to Palace on getting promoted. They are my local side and I support them as well. Was at the play-off final and we were the better side and what Iain Dowie has done since he took over the club just unbelievable. Fighting for relagation and now promoted to premiership all in one season.. justs shows you that if we didn't have Alan Smith, Trevor Francis and Steve Kember in charge for the last couple of season we could have gone up ages ago. We had 1 win in 14 games at one point this season

Don't think we are good enouhg to stay up most of our players aren't good enough for the prem and can't see Jordan spending much money on players either.

England 1 Japan 0.. scrappy game, best chances to Japan.

As much as I admire Paul Scholes he should never be allowed in his own penalty area, he cannot tackle cleanly to save his life, that was a clear penalty.
Also if Fat Boy, Fat, behaves like that in the European Championships he will be for the early bath.
