Please no. Capello was terrible for England in South Africa. Russia (and England for that matter) should be able to produce their own coaches.
I would stay the step backwards was in terms of sticking with the old guard in terms of the players too long (is it me, or does Russia always seem...
See...
Both centrally located, with major rail links... Actually, this is an issue I'd like to hear people's views on. As a Brit, I know what loads of US...
What's the Russian equivalent of Kansas City? Krasnoyarsk?
I think Russia would have been in a better position had they settled on a forward line. They should have picked a couple of players at the start...
Finally, the man's confirmed the worst-kept secret in football. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/4897648.stm If Russia...
Yep -it's always a bit comforting if you end up losing to the winners. They did what they had to do tonight, in very unpleasant conditions, and...
Well quite. Like I said we really shouldn't have been caught out like that with 25 minutes to go. I'm sure if we'd been 2-0 down in a normal game,...
Yep. Crazy second half. Bit frustrating all this, because if we could have got a second when we were 1-0 up (and we were pressing enough to do...
If we can get them down to 9 men, we might still have a chance :rolleyes:
Hmm. The opposition go down to 10 men. Well that was a bit odd.
Blast. Caught out there. Shouldn't have let that happen. Oh well.
Well that's nearly the same as scoring in the first half. But I was swearing at the television very strongly before it went in!
0-0 at half-time. I was thinking if we could have got one goal that would have set us up nicely for the second half, but it was not to be. Tbh,...
Well, half an hour gone and still 0-0. We've had a lot of the ball, as you might expect, but haven't really created much. Maybe we should shoot a...
Bolton fans, I take all my criticism of your pitch right back!
Well, here we go. The pitch looks a picture. What have they done to this board, btw? It looks terrible.
At least he'll be back for the final :)
My thoughts exactly. The only way I can see us going through now is for the 2nd leg to be 0-0 after about 60-70 minutes, then us to score and...
In any case, there's only been 1 leg so far. And while, in Zenit's case, unfortunately, that leg looks decisive, Boro still have a chance. After...
The tyre-boys are also winless in the league. And 2nd from the bottom...
Mmm... I think things would have been different had we kept 11 players on the pitch though.
**** **** **** **** We're out now. At 3-1, I'd have given us a slight chance (2-0 at home is not that hard a score to get back). But 4-1. Nope...
He's been going nuts for the entire match! But yes, it does sound like we're under the cosh :)
