    England centre-backs

    CB was for years one of the positions of real strength for the national team but at present we're weaker in the position than at any time I can remember. We're not far off an England squad being selected and while I can guess who Hodgson will pick (Cahill, Jagielka, Jones, Smalling) it shows the...

    Simon Dawkins - Aston Villa

    Blimey. That's a hell of a move for Dawkins. Be interesting to see how much playing time he gets.

    Jenas, Livermore, Defoe

    Seen a lot of comments about these three in particular after the first two games of the season. The implication has been that they're all shit because they haven't fulfilled some other player's role. So Livermore is shit as he isn't creative enough. Jenas is shit because he's not defensive...
