You including Rafa in that wide variety of people. It was rafa who "spouted this bollix"

And..? Obviously Rafa didnt feel he was paying too much at the time. Moro seemed like a bargain at the time and i have no complaints about Crouch.

There is a danger that any manager would leave any club if he wasnt getting the backing he deserved. Theres nothing new in that. Was probably the same with GH. Has been the same for Ferguson. The same for Jewell. Any manager has to be kept happy. But there is no indication that Rafa hasnt had the backing he wants. Rafa has said he has no problem. He has also many times said that he pulls the plug on transfers if the price is too high. I dont think that will change even if Rafa gets £50m to spend. He wont be ripped off and has said that numerous times.

While its good to hear Rafa is happy, you have to feel he is wasting his time making such statements. In another week or two we will hear all these stories again of Rafa being unhappy, demanding money, at odds with Parry / board. People just wont believe him or will ignore what he has said.

Whats the point in sacking him at this time of the season? And i think the fact that he won the league with a crap squad shows he is a decent manager.

It is different, but ilike it. Very colourful. With the flame, the 5 stars, and the EC wins on the ball. I think its quite good.

Very sad news RIP Mrs MCAllister YNWA

Crouch into defend SWP. Not soft is bug crouchy.

Go on Crouchy. Get into them!!!

Carra yellow carded

And Crouch scores with another good header. You really think Cisse is a better header of the ball than Crouch B9??

Indeed

Really. 1 1

Though i hate England i am happy for Big Pete. More nice play from him to slip in joke hole, good save by keeper.

Crouch scores

Lmao @ Crouch standing beside SWP

Joe cole diving again

Crouchy getting ready

Republic stuffing Sweden 3 0

That was bad. Totall unnecessary, even if it wasnt a friendly match.

Take that! What a goal by uruguay.

Thats what i like to hear

I think hes a very poor header. In fact twice this season i have seen him jump for the ball then turn his back on it, and try to hit it with the back of his head!. Crouch on the other hand, has scored several goals with great headers this season.

A run of games isnt suddenly going to teach him how control a football. How to pass a football, head a football etc etc. Its too late for him now for that. It might change his attitude and maybe he will start to run for people. But i think hes a poor footballer.
