There are far too many mediocre players earning a good living in the SPL. The pressures on manager don't really allow that much opportunity to blood young talent. |
Yup, they get paid to play mediocre football, and it has become easier life than working for a living

Yes if Scottish football is to return to its former glories it needs to blood more youngsters and get rid of some of the cheap foreign players.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Don't think those antics will aid Arsenal buying Hazard... if ever that was realistic 
Mata scored a nice goal earlier... what a shame!

Yes Mata looks a decent player but l hope Drogba is alright as he was down for a fair while.
Fine goal by Skrtel and now Adam a minute later to make it 3=0 for Liverpool against Bolton and thats the full time score

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Did anyone else see a trainer on the pitch in the first half at White Hart Lane, where did they get 3 minutes of extra time from. 
The ref is a joke as well, not in the least bit dirty or overly physical game and yet 5 yellows in first 30 minutes.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Sagna out for the game against United today!
City look really good. Edin with 2 good goals, Nasri with 2 assists!
