It is yep - although their u21's lost 1-0 to San Marino u21's last night so I'm not sure how promising their future's looking.....

Huge result! COYB

We haven't even scored against them yet this season, although hoofing the ball up to Shittu in both the cup games didn't help. 1-1 draw, although that could change depending on Saturday's result.

Tragic. RIP

Mihajlovic would probably be the better choice, he helped keep Bologna up last season and has done well with Catania this season. Di Carlo isn't really the kind of manager to lead Sampdoria into the Champions League, he's just a steady coach but no real experience of the top level.

Could easily go wrong like Ferrara did at Juventus. Juve appointing Del Neri and Milan appointing Galli, they need more established names! Even though Del Neri has done very well at Chievo and Sampdoria when he took bigger jobs at Porto and Roma he was a failure.

Yep he should have come on when Pedersen did, McCarthy has always looked dangerous when cutting in from the left hand side.

Legend. RIP.

Apart from when they showed the drummer!

Could be worth a try, as long as they are the horns that sound decent on the TV when I watch Spanish football and not the horns which are so annoying when it's kids for a kid at Ewood.....

Getafe's qoal was quality, when Madrid were still celebrating a goal which had been disallowed Getafe took the free kick quickly and burst up the other end and scored! It ended up about 4 Getafe attackers v 2 Madrid defenders

It would have only sent it to extra time actually, but yeah it should have been allowed. Great ref though

I was bemused when I heard that too. You would expect most football fans to know that, never mind commentators.

Croatia are a better side than England. At the moment! Good draw, could have been worse.

Wenger would be my preferred choice too, along with Mourinho. Sadly, I can't see either of them wanting the job.

Keeps McClaren in the job then........ But better to be there than not

Sven would have got us through this group too. Then, in the actual tournament, reached the quarter finals

I like Ooijer, despite his age. The only poor Hughes signings are Djorkaeff and Jeffers - and they were free On McCarthy, I think Roberts or Derbyshire should be given a start on Sunday - at least they will be playing for a place.

Well I'm certainly glad we have got Hughes. If we had Strachan or Dowie, we would be in mid table mediocrity, or relegation fighters. Europe would be a long way away.

Yes - McCarthy is now on 29 goals, with Shaun Bartlett on 28.

Yep, I could clearly see one of them walking along the front of a section in the BBE, banging his drum wildly

Totally agree. RIP Jack

I really like Zurab and think he is a good player (good back-up too), he's not a defensive midfielder though and that's the Axe's position.

Bentley pulling out of the squad will be good for us, but he is sure to get some stick off the paper's tomorrow.
