    Frank Lampard the next Derby County manager?

    That Lampard is more intelligent than Gerrard? Well, he's far more educated for a start. I think that will help you be a good manager, it demonstrates critical analysis and thinking that will assist in the role.

    Frank Lampard the next Derby County manager?

    Lampard could be a good manager - far more intelligent than most ex pros. Much better choice than Gerrard.

    Confirmed transfers 2018/19 edition

    He's an excellent penalty taker. It's certainly an area there was a clear gulf in class during the Champions League Semi FInal. Probably a slight upgrade on Can - good signing and at a decent price.

    Jack Ross New Sunderland Manager

    It gets its own text service, but said text service tends to only cover the top league (or maybe bigger teams in the second division). As for not relevant, fixtures that don't involve Rangers or Celtic will be able to attract similar crowds. I really don't know what your issue is, football is...

    Jack Ross New Sunderland Manager

    Scottish football gets drastically less coverage than it deserves, it is treated utterly abymsal by the British media. Far less successful and watched leagues around Europe (e.g. Norway) have a domestic champion broadcaster pumping money into them. Scotland, with a world leading proportional...

    Jack Ross New Sunderland Manager

    Except X player does well in Y league is wildly open to interpretation - see Daryl Murphy romping the Championship and being a miserable failure in the SPFL. Charlie Adam, English POTY nominee, was hounded out of Rangers. Or Robert Snodgrass muttering around the lower leagues and being sent to...

    Jack Ross New Sunderland Manager

    We were terrible last season, so I don't imagine that particular game factored in a great deal. The reason Ross is getting so much attention is that he took a (biggish club) from bottom in the league one season, a fairly miraculous escape, and then winning the league at a canter the next year...

    Jack Ross New Sunderland Manager

    And what possibly is your evidence for this? Last year, with Ross as manager, we were bottom of the league and it was, quite literally, the worst St. Mirren team of all time in terms of league position. We played the runaway rampant Welsh champions, by their own reckoning a League 1 standard...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    I could have chosen any manager, they will all have backed down to players on occasion. Or won't be successful managers (Roy Keane maybe?). It was in response to players supposedly walking over Emery - until we get more details on this there is not much to respond to. Every debate, whether...

    Rooney returns...

    Lampard is far less objectionable as a character than Gerrard. I'm sure even Liverpool fans can see that. Good guys don't attack people in bars. Is that something we can glean from their respective actions? Maybe Leo thinks not and we can't comment until we have met both of them.

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    Well, the only way to respond to this would be comparing how Emery had players walk over him. As for the Cantona story, directly after a game where he kicked a supporter Ferguson criticised other players more and hardly laid a glove on Cantona. Is Emerys story worse than "Neymar kicked a fan...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    I'm talking about the reception foreign coaches receive when coming to the UK for the first time. It happened to Silva, it happened to Pochettino, it happened to Wenger, it's happening to Emery. Are you really saying it's not a factor at all? Also, British coaches receive far less of this...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    You don't recall him caving to Rooneys public pressure on a new massively inflated contract? As for Cantona - why not read this exchange after the match - http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lee-sharpe-reveals-what-sir-alex-said-to-cantona-after-kung/15hjzc2qnz5ws115srb89hpb1l Of course he treated...

    Rooney returns...

    Not particularly, no, you are blaming the players for something that has absolutely nothing to do with any of them. Were any of the Juventus players stripped of their medals? Would you say Ibrahimovics titles, goals, assists and appearances should all be stripped from the record and for those...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    It's why they are criticised when they do. See Marco Silva and Paul Merson. Or Richard Keys comments that British coaching is dead. Or the comments when Pochettino was hired at Southampton. It puts a target on your back straight away - especially for those moving to English football for the...

    Rooney returns...

    I understand it fine, I just don't agree with it. Ever seen a joke about Rooney being stupid? Ever heard of people saying Prince Charles is not intelligent? Ever heard DIane Abbott being criticised for lack of intelligence? Well, move on, none of these views are valid. You can only ever...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    And Alex Ferguson lost 6-1 to Man City. You can't judge a manager on a single game. I'm not sure his time was at PSG "hard to gauge" - it was incredibly successful. Said Monaco team had a clutch of brilliant young players and reached the CL Semi Final. If that is indeed his away record at...

    Arsene Wenger has confirmed he will leave Arsenal at the end of the season

    Emery is an excellent appointment, realistically probably the best they could do. Ancelotti might have taken it but can't see him putting in the same energy towards it. I can only assume the opposition to Emery is because he's a Johnny Foreigner who has never managed in the EPL before. His...

    Rooney returns...

    He has been in the public eye for 20 years, pretty much everyone else can attest to his level of intelligence through his thousands of media appearances...except you. Which is fine, I'm not trying to convince you. You must have no idea as to the intelligence levels of anyone. Also when...

    Rooney returns...

    Probably because I don't consider footballing intelligence, to be related to actual intelligence. And when I use examples to this effect, e.g. "intelligent" players like Gascoigne and Rooney being notoriously unintelligent you ask me to stop using examples because "they are not relevant"...
