It's the new trend. In the same way that Katie puts extra letters at the end of wordsssssss, I put extra ":" at the end of smilies. :stuckup::::::::::::

:depressed:

Would that not just put Wolfsburg into a relegation playoff? Do they not need both Frankfurt and Gladback to overtake them to go straight down?

Indeed. Quite poor, I think, that the managerial changes have been publically announced before the end of the season. Just gives more potential for awkward situations and conspiracy theories.

And you get a nice big pay off when you get sacked for doing a shit job.

Coaches would say that, just because it would give them greater job security.

'Keeper punching the ball into his own net. :lol2:

Hamburg.

About time.

What about a certain Edinburgh club who built an unnecessary new stand instead of improving their team and now find themselves in a relegation battle?

Samp could run relegation quite close. They don't have that big a cushion, so once they start sliding, they could find themselves under pressure very quickly.

And Wolfsburg sold them for reasonable sensible fees, unlike Samp.

Sure, I'm just saying that I don't think any less of Hodgson because of what happened at Liverpool.

He knows how to organise a team, particularly in defence. There was something going on at Liverpool, besides the takeover, that meant he was never given a chance (players and fans didn't take to him from the start).

I rate Hodgson as a coach.

Taking Middlesborough to a UEFA Cup final was pretty good.

He should have been sacked by Xmas at the very latest. God knows why they have kept him this long.

2-2 at HT.

He is probably the best defender of his type around.

He looks very promising. Looks more of a sweeper, ball playing sort of defender, than a dominant guy who is going to attack the ball. If Bayern go and get a strong, dominant Chiellini/Vidic type they'll be sorted for a while, just like Germany should be with a Badstuber-Mertesacker partnership.
