Re: **** OFFICIAL Premiership 2007-08 season Thread!*****
Sven was a great club coach, did better than I expected for England, and is once again a great club coach. Not his fault that British football fans are crazy fickle.
His England record: 2002 World Cup - loses in quarter finals to eventual champion Brazil 2004 European Champ - loses in quarter final to host Portugal (on penalties) 2007 World Cup - loses in quarter finals to Portugal (on penalties) One deserved loss (to the 02 Brazil squad), and two coin flips (the PK losses) - and for this he's a crappy manager? In 5 years in charge of England, he lost 5 games. Like I said...British football fans are off the chart. So saying, they're right about Paul Robinson. He's crap and needs to be dropped. |

Re: **** OFFICIAL Premiership 2007-08 season Thread!*****
'Great' is debatable. He's had mixed success overall, he also had ridiculous amounts of money to spend at Lazio.
Whilst not the godawful England manager some peope would have you believe, that's simplifying it a great deal, he had plenty of flaws. 2002 we just went out so limply, didn't even manage a shot on target against 10 men. Gave him the benefit of the doubt at the time after what he had achieved previously. 2004 scored early and tried to defend a 1-0 lead against a skilful team by continually handing the ball right back to them. The decision to bring on Vassell instead of Heskey if all we were going to do is hump long balls forward for 80 mins is baffling. His tactical decisions in the middle of games were pretty weak and his inability to drop any big names regardless of form was just infuriating. It just felt like the last two years were a total waste. 2006 we played [censored] football throughout, never looked like beating a big side and went out as soon as we met one. |

Not being English, I still have to agree with everything Medgar said. Under Sven, England were basically Spain with shorter hair.

Robinson is garbage, plain and simple.
I saw a game from a few years ago when he was with Leeds. He looked so much more fit then he does now. Spurs backline would probably play much better with someone else back there. If Jol is still there in January, he should move for a keeper ASAP. |

man, stupid Halo 3 kept me up so damn late last night I missed Arsenal and my Hawks today :P [/ QUOTE ] Looks like the Hawks missed their wakeup call as well. Anyway, in the Tottenham/Liverpool game, why was Tottenham forced to play 10 men in injury time? The announcers were stating "what a stupid rule" etc., but I didn't catch the ruling. Anyone? |
