Cobs Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Just because UEFA/FIFA give an International date, does not mean it has to be taken up. meanwhile, back in the real World The English FA have a £750M stadium to pay for, they're paying a manager £7m a year to get the National team to the World Cup and the qualifiers start in September.......
Rich Gobey Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Will we have a CL qualifier that week? Do we have to pre-qualify, doesn't our uefa ranking as best club in europe mean nothing?
Tosh Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Do we have to pre-qualify, doesn't our uefa ranking as best club in europe mean nothing? They should just hand us the trophy now.
Benzo-13 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Will we have a CL qualifier that week? No, it's usually the following week. We had to play West Ham in February cos it was cancelled in August last year.
Rich Gobey Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 They should just hand us the trophy now. They had to a couple of years ago, remember?

Redkop Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Also bear in mind we will have some players away at the Olympics...

oojason Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 meanwhile, back in the real WorldThe English FA have a £750M stadium to pay for, they're paying a manager £7m a year to get the National team to the World Cup and the qualifiers start in September....... plus the shortfall from lack of merchandise & poor new shirt sales, UEFA money, advertising et all, for not making the Euro2008 Finals... could well be a more than the average fair few crappy meaningless friendlies this season...
Falconhoof Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Also bear in mind we will have some players away at the Olympics... 'some players' ?I thought it was just Mascherano. Even so, its not good to be without Mascherano and to have to give Gerrard to England. To much disruption to the midfield can't be good at that stage of the season.
Woodsyla Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 'some players' ?I thought it was just Mascherano. Even so, its not good to be without Mascherano and to have to give Gerrard to England. To much disruption to the midfield can't be good at that stage of the season. Aren't Lucas and Babel going as well ? Olympics finish on the 24th so they will miss one CL Qualifying game and 1 maybe 2 league games. I think we should have the squad depth to cope with that !!!!

sutty Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 The FA should foot the bill for wages paid to players injured in the games. It's a nonsense time to have a game. The players will hardly be match fit. Them playing the leagues that haven't started certainly won't be. Waste of time.
sutty Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 And the olympic football is making me f***ing angry as well. 5 ringed t***s

The players will hardly be match fit. Them playing the leagues that haven't started certainly won't be. Waste of time.I thought they do now? Remember Redknapp used to get knacked on Int'l duty all the time? Probably cost us 2 years worth of wages And the olympic football is making me f***ing angry as well. 5 ringed t***sagreed. The Olympics is duller than crown green bowls. I wouldn't go to watch it if it was held in my building
