    England Expects - And That's No Bad Thing

    If his first year was all about getting back to basics, Fabio Capello's second will be spent rebuilding England's tattered reputation. European football fans still laugh at the 'superpower' nation that couldn't even qualify for Euro08, but they will laugh no longer if Spain are vanquished in...

    Missing, presumed dead...

    1 War chest. Seriously, I dont think the money is there at all and Ron is either making himself look silly by going on about the 'War chest', or Tilly is not the man to spend the money because he cannot find anyone. I tend to think the money isn't there and given the current climate and the...

    My Roar blog - part 2

    At the start of the A-League season I posted a blog about my experiences as a newly emigrated ‘Pom’ supporting the Queensland Roar. General commitments relating to settling into the country (getting a new job, buying a car, finding somewhere to live) has meant I haven’t made it a regular thing...

    Getting very worried now

    Yes I know there is plenty of time until the season starts actually thinking about it is just over 7 weeks away now. However im getting worried about the number of players that are under contract and not on the transfer or loan list. We have contacted and staying: Mildenhall, Barrett, Herd (no...

    Defence training

    Am thinking of training defence next time I change training, probably in a season or two's time. What formations do defence trainers recommend?

    England v United States

    And so the recovery continues. Fabio Capello's patient, paternal treatment of the blundering failures who shamed the nation last year is, little by little, beginning to pay off. He hasn't asked them to play in strange formations, he hasn't made sweeping changes, he hasn't even announced a...

    Chelsea scramble through

    Chelsea scrambled into the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Zico's Fenerbahce that was anything but comfortable, either for the club or for those unfortunate enough to be watching. The continual criticism of their minimalist style of football can be tedious, but you...

    England Pass Test...Eventually

    They call Fabio Capello, ‘the hardman of Italian football’ and on Thursday morning he showed us all why. The iconoclastic boss had already demonstrated that there are no longer grazing rights here for sacred cows by refusing to give David Beckham a mercy-cap, but he went on to shatter egos and...

    Alison Moyet

    Taken from her website: (responding to a Sheff Wed fan) "Now this may hurt... I will allways be a Southender.I am a blue soldier. I have also come to the conclusion that i can never have loved football in a way a man does,or perhaps a modern girl who has grown up playing the game. Going to...

    A Christmas Tale

    They don't do it in Germany, they've long since given it up in Spain and the French would be astonished if you suggested that they should give it a try. The Christmas football fixture list is a curiously British and Irish disease. With almost every other civilised nation doing the sensible...

    Team Rebuilding

    Let us assume that Freddy goes in January for £2 million plus. Why should we blow the cash to buy a proven scorer or other players for other areas. We could blood some of our youngsters and use Cole, Lawson, Bradbury and Hooper more often. If we could secure McCormack or a similar battling...

    The Carling Cup

    I asked this question when the Man U draw was made, and as far as I'm aware got no response, so I'll try again. Back in August, as we were about to face Bournemouth in the First Round, several people came on here saying how we should rest loads of players, experiment with formations etc...
  14. Tactics

    My opposition for my next league game playes a 4-5-1 with his full backs playing defensively and his wingers playing offensively. With normal tactics. I'm training defending and have solid or excellent experience in the follwing formations: 5-4-1 5-3-2 4-4-2 What formation should I play...

    Training - Anyone else have problems ?

    I don't appear to have received training this week - I know the server was playing up last night. Anyone else ? (No problems with formations etc)
  16. BLUESTV

    Coming up on BluesTV this week - Steve Tilson talks about the busy festive period and how it'll be crucial for the season. - Tilly comments exclusively on the Drewe Broughton situation and whether he'll go back out on loan again or fight for his place in the side. - And with renewed...
