Yes, but some things never change. Like how MLS players still come to the Prem for a vacation
laugh. And chicken pies.S1-2A door fasthighlights- Greg Seltzer
I am going to assume the Prem will have no choice but to change the scoring on Fulham's winner
today, giving Clint Dempsey another dazzling goal to count. His shot is clearly tipped onto the bar
by the keeper, which makes it a shot on goal, which makes it a scorer's goal. If that's an own
goal, my name is Lord Rupus Schmendrake IV.
In a week where Alan Pardew has been linked with managing England, the Newcastle boss takes his
side to Tottenham Hotspur as they aim to continue their odds-defying season. Following Fabio

So it's "arrivederci" to Mr Capello and with that once again The FA are in search of fresh man
with fresh ideas to manage the England football team. The now infamous "impossible job" is waiting
ominously to be filled by a brave managerial soul and the national media appear to be in no doubt
as to whom that man should be, yes it's the half human half bloodhound hybrid, Harry Redknapp.
Visits to be offered as an optional extra on the Stadium Tour. . We are privileged to be
afforded the inside story by Mr. Meyer of the trial of Harry Redknapp. Without Harry's aquittal
then there would be no 'Harry for England' furore. 'Not Guilty' and the rest is History. This a
preferable 'Inside Story' than the other one that Greg could be writing.
Another huge weekend as the race at the top tightens and the England managerial role remains

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has tipped club teammate Steven Gerrard to lead England
during this summer's Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
A dramatic sequence of events led to Chelsea skipper John Terry losing the Lions armband last
Friday, which was followed by the resignation of manager Fabio Capello, who was upset at not being
consulted by the FA over the captaincy row.
As we all know, Harry Redknapp has not even thought about becoming England manager. Given that the
possibility of him doing just that is on all major news bulletins, OTP wondered what exactly he is
thinking about. 1. Business investments 'Arry's still not got round to investing that money that
Milan Mandaric gave him to [.
Mano Menezes appears to be under a lot of pressure these days surely it isn't
because he's only the national coach of Brazil, a country with 194 million other
talking heads? Earlier this week, Menezes met up with the U-17 'selecao feminina' (you can call
them Brasil's futbolitas!
Welcome to the Friday Crackovia Club, where it's always a party in

Fabio Capello resigns as England manager but who will replace him? - The 90th Minute Soccer
Blog
England currently has no manager as Fabio Capello recently resigned. It was pretty clear Capello
would be out after the upcoming Euro 2012 and his resignation was a surprise. The problem between
Capello and the English Football Association was over John Terry.
Real Madrid wants Robin Van Persie. Look at my face: I am not happy right now.
Rather than just writing one opinion piece, I typically try to gather as much information from
around the World Wide Web and condense it with my own commentary added. This week we've got Real
Madrid pursuing Van Persie, Mourinho gunning for Arsene's job, Kieran Gibbs returns from a long
layoff to strengthen the defense, and a hobbled Jack Wilshere all torn up about England's national
team losing its coach just months before the Euro 2012.
Alot has been made of Chelsea's season so far and it's been mainly doom and gloom from the media,
press and some of our supporters hasn't it!.
On a positive note, we have all witnessed the arrival of Juan Mata and he has really made a
fantastic impression for someone who is in his first season in England.

Redknapp's version of Usain Bolt's iconic celebration was lacking in many areas.In the aftermath of
the chaos that was February 9th 2012, no-one could discuss the position of Tottenham manager with
any certainty. Harry Redknapp, the current incumbent, began the day with the verdict of a court
case for tax evasion hanging over his head yet, come the day's completion, his immediate and medium
term future was the most speculated upon in all the land.
The football world already has it all planned out: fans, players, ex-players, pundits and
journalists alike all want Harry Redknapp to replace Fabio Capello as England manager, following
the Italian's resignation yesterday evening.
Some were already looking beyond Euro 2012 Capello had already planned to retire after this
summer's tournament to the Redknapp era, convinced he would be the man for the job at some
point.

Tim Ream returned to England earlier this week with all the necessary paperwork completed for
him to suit up for Bolton Wanderers, and he might not have to wait long at all to make his
debut.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle told reporters on Thursday morning that Ream, and two of the other
club's recent acquisitions, will be on the gameday squad that will take on Wigan Athletic in a
match with relegation implications on Saturday.

A pearce-ing scream: The U21 coach is taking over for the Holland friendly
The players are all coming out of the woodwork. After keeping miserably silent and not offering
an ounce of support for their former manager. Man, those must have been the toughest five years of
their lives? But they're now tweeting their approval of Harry Redknapp as favourite to lead the
Three Lions.
By The Numbers: Who should take over from Fabio Capello? - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Following Fabio Capello's resignation as England manager, Castrol EDGE Performance
data shows why Harry Redknapp is firm favourite to take over the reins. Since the previous
European Championships in 2008, Redknapp has secured an impressive win ratio of 49% with Portsmouth
and Tottenham, guiding Spurs to their most successful season in the Premier League and securing
European football for the past two seasons.
The main points from the FA: Stuart Peace WILL manage England for the forthcoming Holland friendly.
Euro 2012 is important but there is a longer term strategy. It cannot be the sole responsibility of
the manager to achieve success The process to appoint a new manager will not be rushed. The FA will
be interested [.

Bookies are slashing odds on the Anfield Cat to become the next England boss. After his fearless
display on Monday night, the Cat has been attracting attention from all over the globe. The 4
legged cutie showed more bottle in one night than in 5 years under the atrocious Sven McClaren.
'With England's woeful displays in recent tournaments, a change of direction is exactly what the
team need', said the Cat's owner.
Watson for England By the age of 25, it's normally time to settle down in a job, accept that Phil
Collins does indeed have a few catchy numbers and limber up for a begrudging jog towards

global footballing stage is over.

Fabio Capello's four-year England tenure over the course of 20 (you must promise here and now
not to count them!) fabulous photos...
So long Fabio, and thanks for all the fish.
Yesterday was a tumultuos day for fans of Tottenham Hotspur. First came the news that Harry
Redknapp had been cleared of charges of tax evasion and he emerged from court to a hero's welcome.
Then in the evening came the news that Fabio Capello had resigned as England manager. Redknapp of
course was instantly installed as the favourite to take over by fans, media and players alike.
Alan Pardew thinks the not guilty verdict of Harry Redknapp will lift the Spurs side on Saturday
against Newcastle in London. Alan Pardew doing great job on Tyneside Redknapp will likely be
the next England boss following Fabio Capelalo's resignation last night, and of course Pardew
has already been linked with the Tottenham job.

Hirsute Colombian jester Rene Higuita has been up to his old trick again, re-enacting his
infamous 'scorpion kick' save against England all those years ago for an Arabic television
channel...
We'll forgive him as he's 45-years old these days, but that wasn't a patch on the original
busted out to foil Jamie Redknapp on his top, top triffic international debut back in 1995.
Welcome to English football in 2012. The captain of the national team faces a criminal charge
for the use of racially aggravated abuse during a Premier League match. Five months after the
event, the FA announce that this player will be stripped of the captaincy without, it would appear,
having consulted the manager.
1. If Terry had his armband removed on a principle of guilty until proved innocent, how come
Harry's name wasn't out of the equation when he was charged? 2. Why did the FA not consult Capello
before removing the captaincy from John Terry? 3. If Fabio was not shamed of his opinion, why did
he [...]

It's now officially four crucial months to the Euro 2012 and following Fabio
Capello's resignation last night, England has no manager to lead them to glory! That's
exactly what Jack Wilshere groaned about ("Euro's is just around the corner
and we have no manager?
One of the disadvantages of working a paying job whilst trying to build a readership on your own
blog is that sometimes we get blindsided by events that need immediate reporting such as we saw
today in London as England manager Fabio Capello resigned his position immediately following a
meeting with FA Chairman David Bernstein.
Harry Redknapp, David Bernstein, and Fabio Capello in Les Liaisons Dangereuses
A day ago, Harry Redknapp was in the dock on tax evasion charges. If proven guilty, it would end
his chances to be England manager, a post that he has long coveted. Worse, as a convicted felon,
the punishment could mean jail time and a leave of absence from football for a long, long time.
