[QUOTE 2379593, member: 1314"]Bloody hell, just learnt that Edgar Davids is the Barnet Player Manager!

http://www.barnetfc.com/team/Backroom_Staff/

39-year-old Edgar Davids joined Barnet in October 2012 as Head Coach. He is also registered with the club as a player. Edgar is currently working towards his UEFA A licence and had been managing Amateur Sunday League side Brixton United prior to his arrival at Underhill. He has enjoyed a glittering playing career in which he won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995, three Serie A titles with Juventus and represented the Netherlands on 74 occasions. He also played for Spanish giants Barcelona, Italian rivals AC Milan and Internazionale, Tottenham Hotspur and, most recently, a brief stint at Crystal Palace.[/quote]

And in other news... The Titanic has hit an iceberg and sunk....

Blimey... you only just noticed?
Slow Off The Mark Cog is your new name

ps. He got red carded a couple of weeks ago for a couple of poor tackles.

I think it’s cool. Socrates played for the Uni football team didn’t he; Ruud Gullit played Sunday League in Holland, getting changed in the back of the car?

Doesn’t Trevor Brooking manage a Sunday league side in the East End?[/quote]


Socrates played 1 game (coming on as a sub) for Garforth Town in Yorkshire. He was a mate of the owner or something like that.

Sure your not getting confused with Torres he has a mate that owns Chelsea.

Adkins named as Reading manager word is he has been guaranteed £1 million if he keeps them up. Thats a safe bet for the owner me thinks.

4-0 not a bad game...bit slow to start with...too many back passes to our keeper....then the sending off of their goalie...and the free kick goal...from then on we were on top pretty much....then the next sending off and the penalty...I didn't see the incident...anyway who cares...2-0 then the name of the game seemed to change to who can substitute their entire team first....then 3-0 and 4-0

job done....erm...have to say though that before the first sending off though we were on the back foot and scrappy.

How cold was it there though...O M G.....no wonder there were no cheer leaders at half time.

Hard to see on the live stream I had but the first sending off looked just about the right decision. The second handball was a yellow and a pen until he got gobby with the referee. He probably didn't have that much chance to get out of the way of the ball though.

Their keeper clearly handled outside his area...so he had to go....

Neville Neville, put on your dress! Well that's as unexpected as tomorrow being Wednesday, innit?

[Kies]

England v Montenegro????

I see that England are keeping up the tradition of having completely crappy looking goalkeepers jerseys.

That's Bianchi-coloured. My wife loves it but there's too much optical confusion on the chest-icular area.

The mighty Brechin City caused a wee tickey of a stir at the weekend. Their Glebe Park pitch is unplayable due to the clay soil withholding the water. The postponed games have been mounting up. The SFA agreed to let them play home games at their derby rivals Forfar. Imagine the Forfar lads disgust when on Saturday the Brechin City club flag was flying proudly above their Station Park home. I work in Forfar and the local yokels an't happy. The Scottish football forum Pie and Bovril was about in meltdown with their greeting faces. Made my day.

aha.. that's why I hate it so..............

 

[dellzeqq]

whoops. Fresh from securing a heroic draw against mighty New Zealand, the English football team are attempting to hold on to a heroic draw against the mighty Montenegro.

How strange the words 'Glen Johnson' have on a person. One feels one's blood chill.....

Wish it was Utd. On more than one occasion Wellbeck, Rooney and Cleverley were attacking the Monty goal and everyone else waddling behind Carrick - probably because they didn't want to get out of their depth.

Stevie G should not have been on that pitch - he was a liability for the greater part of the game. But he did his usual trick of being good for ten minutes, and this time at the end of the match. Thus pencilling him in for the next game. He is past it. Like me.
