Egil Olsen has accepted two more years.

Two more years of invincibility and playing well over our potential is good.
The old commie bastard is a fantastic coach of smaller men.

I notice Forest are doing, well, nada again. And Steve McLaren, the wally with the brolly, yeah, that will end really well.

yes, yet another generation of players with flair, skill and capable of playing entertaining football will be kept out of the national team though. The trick Drillo used against the Czechs (playing a quick and skilful striker rather than Carew) won't work again.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Don't be a hater.

Here's some news:
There are no skillful players with flair who have Norwegian passports.

Fellah? He's a worker bee and will be in midfield next year. Probably replacing Grindheim.
Singh? Too uneven for the national team, but yeah, he's getting there.
Henriksen? In two years, he'll be the anchor in midfield. A bit slow for my liking, but he has what it takes.

What would worry me, and does worry me, is that we no longer have superb defenders. Nordtveit? Not likely.
Anyway, can you imagine someone else that would realistically take the position and do a decent job? I can't, really.

But sure, we are at odds with most things.

Apparently 200 million of ManUtd's 300million fans are from Asia; discounting its Lancashire fan base, where do the other 99,999,995 fans come from ? :unsure:

N/S America and countries in Europe that doesn't have a league of the same quality as the PL.

When I was in Morocco, back in 1980, they used to televise ManU's games. They may have stopped since of course, i get the impression that the standard of African football has improved over the years.

Check my figures and you'll note I've already discounted those 5 blokes.

Man City seem to be more popular with your actual Manchester blokes.
