2002

We were awful. Hodgson is making the same mistakes Capello did. Swap Cleverley on the left for Gerrard and you basically have the same dreck he was serving up in 2010.

Still have no idea what point you're trying to make. There's no indication that the players weren't aware of Serbia's reputation, and even if they weren't... so what? That doesn't excuse anything that happened.

Nor do you, clearly. I've seen the figures quoted before when the EPPP was being talked about, but I can't remember them with any certainty. I do know however that they're significantly smaller than other European nations like Spain, which the rule changes were designed to bring us in line with.

It was an U21 game. Regardless, I'm not sure what Serbia's reputation has to do with anything.

It doesn't say how long the sessions are. Even if they're an hour, it's still a long way off the contact time Barca get. Contact time has up until now been very restricted, this is well known, and one of the major shackles that has been removed in the EPPP.

It's bad enough in this day and age that young players are subjected to racist abuse from large sections of supporters, but for the Serbian FA to deny it even happened and try to pin the blame for the trouble on Danny Rose is an absolute fucking disgrace. Come on UEFA, show some balls.

“We are only allowed to coach [schoolboys] for an hour and a half [each week]. Barcelona can coach every hour of the day if they want and that’s the great advantage they have got. You can see their philosophy through that,” Ferguson said. “It’s a fantastic philosophy and we hope that, in years...

United were only allowed to coach schoolboys 1 1/2 hours a week.

Amazing stuff from Sweden.

:lol:

Farcical scenes at the Poland vs England game. Pissing it down with rain and the game is likely to be called off because the Polish wouldn't agree to close the roof earlier in the day.

No they wouldn't. The coaches would have had a fraction of the contact time that they did in Spain.

Sounds like the Serbians have been disgraceful. Pitch invasion, monkey chants, bottles thrown at England players along with punches too. Players and officials being attacked. Shameful shit. I'm sure UEFA will act swiftly, and Serbia will have to raid their penny jar for the fine. But he isn't...

The academy points are moot until the EPPP changes can be felt. With the 90 minute rule being in place up until now, it's been too much of a lottery to really glean anything from academy products alone. And that's before you take into account the severe restriction of coach contact time that...

Shame Watford are now just a feeder team for Udinese.

In term of practices it could be, but it was only this year that the coach contact-time limits were abolished, so even if it were you likely wouldn't see any evidence of it for five years minimum.

That's because you're profoundly ignorant of just about anything English if your posts are anything to go by. Aren't you the guy who was convinced that no one in England likes passing football? Deary me. :facepalm:
