      If he was not fully fit he should not have been playing. Maybe playing a half fit player could have been a contributing factor to playing so badly over the last ten or so games.

      I would imagine we had very few ‘fully’ fit players at the end of the season.

      The BBC were looking at whether England players suffer burn out last week and citing that the 2010 WC squad had players in who had played 40 games that season. We played 62 and the likes of Boyce, Perch, McArthur and Barnett played the vast majority of them.

          But as ITV keep telling us “It will be emotional”.
          Where did that drivel of a line come from?

          Well if you actively watch the national side then it will be exactly that.

            Started collecting them for the nephew who then ended up with his Dad buying him one meaning I have to collect them myself.

                Exactly.

                And people say RL isn’t a global sport :whistle:

                Looking forward to next weeks when I might actually remember some of what you’re talking about. What with my earliest World Cup memory being 1994.

                      Sky Sports sources understand Norwich City are the latest club to show an interest in Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban. Cardiff City have already met Grabban’s release clause, and Middlesbrough have held talks, while fellow Championship clubs Nottingham Forest, Derby, Fulham and Wigan are also thought to be monitoring the situation.

                      Nothing to monitor

                      Norwich City sign Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.

                        Bit of an aggressive blog that one mate.

                        It was a bit, wasn’t it? ;)[/quote]

                        Is this something we should expect going forward or was it against the grain?

                          The crime at Hillsborough and why it is still relevant was not the tragedy on the day, but the fact the police and government lied and altered their statements to save their own skins at the expense of the feelings of those left behind, and in a so called civilised society were we expect the Police to serve and protect us all irrespective if we watch football or not.

                          Which is exactly why I would back them all the way if there weren’t the claims from Liverpool fans mentioned above by Griff that there was not one single drunken fan nor did one single fan try to gain access without a ticket.

                          They still to this day try to get into grounds with no ticket and brag about it (see Athens 2007) when they do.

                          An absolute tragedy that I hope never happens again don’t get me wrong but as I said the whole “nothing to do with us” attitude has tainted what should be something that the whole footballing population should be behind.

                          I also disagree with the judge in the latest hearings making a statement that this is the biggest tragedy in British sporting history. Who is he to make that call? I would guess that the families of those who lost their lives at Bradford, Rangers or Munich even would disagree massively.

                            He’s the only Liverpool fan I’ve ever heard say that the police can’t be given all the blame for what happened at Hillsborough & that the conduct of some Liverpool supporters that day also contributed towards it.

                            That’s the bit that frustrates me about it. If they held their hands up and said “We were in the wrong but the police were also to blame” then I would back them all the way but the typical Scouse response of “Wasn’t our fault” p*sses me right off.

                              Well, well Mr Martinez; is he not good enough for Everton ?

                              Good luck Jordi !

                              WTF does Martinez have to do with Gomez going to Sunderland???

                              Gomez was a frustrating player for me but as others have said, his quality shone through at this level.

                                  Yet also 29 years ago ( 11th May 1985 ) this tragedy happened yet it hardly ever gets mentioned?

                                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_City_stadium_fire

                                  It doesn’t you’re right.

                                  RIP to those involved
