Congratulations Crouch!!!!
A goal!!!!

It's nice to see. Maybe now people will get off his back a bit, he's deserved a goal in every game he's played in.

Emm, how was he lucky JJ3?

His goal today was pure brilliance, a chip of determining quality.

 

[hassan]

the 1st one he meant

The first one was not credited to him. A Poilik own goal.

At the time when I typed that original message. The first goal was credited to Crouch.

West Ham at Carrow Road. Could have been worse. Could have got Ipswich.

Real Madrid have sacked their manager Wanderley Luxemburgo. Not too much of a shock really considering how badly they are doing this season but now the question on everyone's lips will be

Who will be the next Real Madrid manager?

 

[Sureshot]

There already is one, the reserves coach has been upgraded, there is no consistency upstairs for Real Madrid that's their problem.

Caro will only be temporeriarly in charge until a new manager is found, got a feeling that Ottmar Hitzfeld who said Man Utd had offered him a job recently will take charge at the Bernabeu very soon or Fabio Capello, but they would have to wait until the end of the season for him, so they could either get Hitzfeld now or wait for Capello.

Watch now it wont be any of them!

Who would want to manage them knowing they have had 5 managers in 2 years. They were also only 6 points behind Barca but Luxemburgo was still sacked.

Yes but the board dont accept being 6 points behind Barca, they expect them to be 6 points ahead of Barca and plus losing 3-0 at home to them didnt exactly help matters!

Its suprising really considering the players they have; Zidane, Ronaldo, Robinho, Carlos, Beckham and Raul despite him struggling for goals and form in the past couple of seasons but they are all quality players and you would expect them to be top.

Just seems Barca have blended better and have a brilliant team spirit where as Real is built more on individuals or Galacticos as they call it.

Raul's out for five months.

Sacking Luxemburgo wont get them anywhere. People are speculating that Victor Fernandez(who the hell is he? ), Sven Goran Erikkson( , Rafa Benitez(like he's gonna leave Liverpool) or Fabio Capello will be the replacement.
