I wish him the best.

 

Xabi moves into management with Real Sociedad. One of my all-time favourite players.

CF Villareal was 14th. They may need help staying up.

They have a pre-season friendly with WBA on the 13th.

 

Crouch has retired

After a lot of deliberation this summer I have decided to retire from football !
Our wonderful game has given me everything.
I’m so thankful to everyone who helped me get there and to help me stay there for so long. X

Aye, me too...as a player and as a person. Class all the way.

 

Love Crouch. Football aside, wonderful sense of humor and look forward to his next career...all the best to Divock Samrat

 

Dope squad. Move Stevie over into right attacking mid, Rooney dropping off Torres a little, Bale hugging the touch line. Deadly.

 

Better humorist than footballer..... IMO.....

 

wouldn't that be 12 on the pitch???

 

The Glen Johnson selection is a bit odd; points up the lack of top quality at that position I guess.

 

Glen was decent when Crouchie was with us.

 

A nice article on Crouchie.

"A horse falling down stairs."

 

Read in another article, when asked what he would be had he not been a footballer..."a virgin'.

 

Agree completely. But the rest of the players in that XI were a hell of a lot better than "decent".

 

Crouchie was one of my favorite players, great sensa huma and had one of the best songs. The giant flying insect goal against Gala is a legend in its own right.

 

so...who instead of Glenno

 

Igor Biscan's Rijeka have defeated Aberdeen at home 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa League qualifiying round.
