Scotland's 0-3 defeat to Wales at the weekend has all but sealed Burley's fate, however, and reports from Bonnie Scotland state George will soon be on the dole. But who would replace Burley? And are Scotland's failures really a management issue? Graeme Souness may have just crossed himself off a few Christmas card lists as he told the press he wouldn't want the Scotland job primarily because the country has produced no talent to work with.

You may have noticed that some of our footballers have been sporting moustaches recently.This is not some bizarre tribute to the perfectly groomed Graeme Souness but part of Movember, an annual campaign to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer.Danny Fox, Gary Caldwell, Paddy McCourt, Kris Boyd and Allan McGreggor have already signed up.

Mike Marsh, Barry Venison, Rigobert Song, Abel Xavier, Harry Kewell, Milan Baros ve Graeme Souness. Hepsinin ortak özelliği futbolcu ya da antrenör olarak Galatasaray'da görev yapmaları değil sadece.

After 27 years supporting Middlesbrough Football Club, I could be forgiven for thinking I had seen it all. Cup finals, relegations, promotions. Liquidation, Europe. Memorable victories and crushing defeats. I thought nothing about the club would ever truly surprise me again. Tuesday night, I was proven wrong.

Picking Liverpool's greatest ever XI is a nigh-on impossible task, especially given the sheer volume of fantastic players in the club's glorious history. In my personal greatest XI, skill and leadership ability are the defining characteristics, and I believe that the side I've chosen would pulverise any team in world football - past or present.

Played 11 - Lost 4. It doesn't make for pleasant reading, does it? This is not the first time Liverpool have had such a poor start to the season, and while it is definitely too early to write off the club's title chances, history proves that when the team starts this badly, the season is usually a washout.

On May 17, 1990, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the FA Cup Final replay to win the first silverware of Sir Alex Ferguson's 22-year reign at Old Trafford. It had taken the Scot three-and-a-half years to achieve it, but 32 trophies later the adoring Mancunian fans have no qualms about the bedding-down period Ferguson was granted.

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness was tough-tackling monster of a player who combined prodigious talent with a ferocity that made him feared by the opposition. It seems that this mean-streak continued into his managerial career, with one of his own players on the receiving end of a deadly Souness special. Click to continue reading...

When it comes to antagonizing opposition fans, Emmanuel Adebayor is a mere amateur next to Graeme Souness.

Liverpool FC's inability to win the title since 1990 has been blamed on a various people over the years, including David Moores; Rick Parry; Graeme Souness; Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and, most recently, Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The real blame, however, for the club's abject failure to bring home the trophy Bill Shankly famously called ‘our bread and butter' lies solely at the feet of one man: former President of South Africa and anti-apartheid activist, Nelson Mandela.

With escalating murmurs of player departures emanating from Anfield, together with the financial ambiguity of parent club Kop Holdings Ltd, the omens do not bode well for Liverpool's ability to compete next season.
That is the opinion of former Reds manager Graeme Souness, who informed Sky Sports News today that he does not think there will be much money spent at Anfield this summer. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness is far from bullish when it comes to talking about Liverpool's title chance. Souness made it clear in an interview with Sky Sports News that the finances of the other clubs in the top four could keep Liverpool out in the cold for another season.

Hands up if you wanted to see a Barcelona v. Manchester United final.
