Villa doesn't take on defenders? I always thought he was quite direct by Barca standards.

He'll probably play alongside Alonso.

If they wanted to protect him, then they wouldn't have stripped him of the armband in the first place, nor would they bother with charging him at all. I mean, it's not like they couldn't have just said that they'd 'respect the courts ruling' if they wanted to.

John Terry charged by the FA

He isn't eligible to play for England anyway. If he plays international football, it will be for Canada, Jamaica or the USA.

Setting the stage for Pep to come in after Di Matteo gets sacked :pep:

Indeed.

I don't think he's done anything wrong, personally. He's been a great servant for the club, and now he wants to leave. What's the problem? It's a football club to you, but for him it's his life and career we're talking about here.

I don't think there's too much wrong with that, it's the play-acting that's pathetic.

Great Britain isn't much of a comparison. It's a very weak squad even by our standards, and they haven't been a team since the 1970's. I really didn't find Neymar all that impressive to be honest, a great talent yes, but people calling him a superstar in the making? I'm not seeing it. Let's see...

I can never tell if these Italian clubs are cheapskates or just trolling :lol:

Doesn't anyone think he's being overrated a bit?

He said he hopes there are no "queers" in the national team and even in the clarification of his comments he still called it a "problem". I'm not sure how much more explicitly homophobic he could get. Homophobia is probably an even bigger problem in football than racism these days, so I'm glad...

None of the England squad play 4-4-2 at club level.

Well, where Hodgson had the two forwards taking up positions to stop balls into the midfield, thereby making the play go to the full backs who could be pressed by the wingers, Capello would just stand on the touchline screaming at the forwards to press aimlessly, which tired them out and...

He never really showed it. His 4-4-2 was even more rigid and basic than Hodgson's. It was more attacking, which is fine in qualification, but got found out fairly easily in 2006.

Getting £35 million for Andy Carroll is pretty smart to be fair :lol:

Haven't Liverpool added him to the transfer list? Clearly he isn't going to fit in with the way Rodgers wants the team to play.

Taking a £1.6m pay cut so he can stay at Juventus until 2015. :worthy:

Wonder what Capello's Russian is going to be like...
