Thanks Sammi. If he takes the Scotland job then the interviews will be at least more interesting than the games......

Worlds gone made. Whatever next, maybe a 31 year old bluenose from skem will get in the england squad for 1st time ever.

oh uhhmm.. ha. ha haaaaaaaa

Just in case wee Gordie gets the Scotland job, I've polished my boots. You never know....

To be fair to him, Osman had a very tidy game. Sterling looked impressive in patches and played a big part in Welbeck's goal. Gerrard showed that in his current position - thanks Roy! - England can at long last get the best out of him and that he probably has at least one big tournament left in him.

But the talking point of the game was Ibrahimovic's fourth goal for Sweden. Simply sensational - an overhead shot, from an angle, from all of 40 yards. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it. Stupendous. I think it will be up on youtube very soon and it's well worth catching.

Oh yes, and Scotland beat......ahem, Luxembourg. You take what you can get.....

no need to be fair to him -I didnt say he was bad I was in jest cos he is from same town as me and i must admit i find it a shame its taken so long to get a cap.

amazing goals by ibrahimovic yup (best overhead ive ever seen, easily).. hes always had a world class stigma abour him, amazing record etc but also fair to ask the question where was he in the summer england v sweden, when they needed something like that... shrug. hes always been a bit hot and cold - in great form at momemnt though he was good in champs league the other week for PSG.

Suarez for Man C, eh? Who got that one started? He'd cap a fine trio with Tevez and Balotelli.....

BTW Sammi, what's your take on Rodgers so far?

[VictoriaVeil]

all this talk makes me want to nail a goal(ie) from 40 yards out.. ahhhhh

Impressive knowledge of the beautiful game from a beautiful lady!

I'll give you a demonstration of my tackle from behind.....

suarez? haha yea right


rodgers.. 2 dodgy decisions away from 5th. He needs a good two seasons to judge really. If we can be in the mix for 4th by end of this jan then great. I think it is a rather average premier league, aside from man city every team looks capable of dropping points against teams you least expect... so if we dont give up then who knows.

Suarez is best staying at Liverpool where he is the top dog, if he left for City he would have Tevez,Aguero & Dzeko to contend with - looks like Balotelli will be leaving in January & not before time.......his ratio of good games/bad games is pretty low & if your a top team you cannot be carrying people in most games.

On another matter I wonder if Saurez will get away with that stamp yesterday?????

I agree that Rodgers should be given time. Let's hope that the fickle end of the Liverpool fans and the owners agree. He'll last longer than AVB at Spurs, that's for sure.

And this is so far the most open Premiership season for a while, and West Brom under Steve Clarke are in the current mix on merit, regardless of whether they'll be there next May. Man C have acquired Man U's ability to play like shite and still win, but they'll have a wobble.

This season it seems that anyone can beat anyone else, up to a point. Could be interesting, although I won't be surprised to see the usual suspects in the top three places at season's end. Fourth spot could be anyone's though.
