John Terry Good Or Bad For England's Euro 2012 Campaign? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

The extraordinary delays in a resolution to the Terry-Ferdinand affair have already resulted in the wholly unnecessary cop-out by the FA and the Premier League in asking Chelsea and QPR to forego handshakes in their recent league clash.

Hi everyone,
It has been clearly seen that Roman Abramovich is starving for titles and does everything possible to dominate England and Europe. However, things have not been going the way he wishes. Unlike some other clubs, finance is one of the least of worries that the owner has, thanks to his outside business which does not make him shy to spend almost unlimited amount of money with the club.

Back again to take a look at some of our players playing abroad. I will be adding Henrique and Keirrison to the list of players to watch and will update about their Brazilian adventures as best as I can.

No, Junito has not announced a reversal on his all too premature retirement. He is still blissfully playing hurling, impervious to medium sized balls and nets draped over sticks. But this series ended without paying tribute to the olive-skinned and gorgeous woman behind the world's future greatest player.

I've just watched a couple Lille matches the Coupe de France (French Cup) final victory over Paris Saint-Germain on the weekend and the almost-league-title-clinching victory tonight over Sochaux.

The secret to Lille's success appears to be good players. A fair few of them are French most notably their rock at the back, and France's first-choice right-sided central defender, Adil Rami (who's transferring to Valencia at the end of the season).

Here you go. A strange one. I rarely like selecting "defensive minded" midfielders in fantasy football, but let's make an exception. Jack Wilshere is far from a Mascherano or a Makelele. He has superb technique and with Cesc Fabregas out ... Continue reading →

Hello,

here we are then. Yep. It's the Interlull. A few games took place last night. All our Irish players will be on their way back having played last night ... erm ... yeah. If we were a team made up of Peruvian, Panamaniacs, Romanians, Ukrainians, Cypriots and Swedes then all of our players would be coming back today.

International friendlies! Meaningless spectacle! Corrupt international federations profiting! Needless injuries going into the most important part of the season!

Yep, it's my favorite. It's that time of year again. That time of year when, right in the middle of the tension and drama of the season, players have to leave their clubs to go play bullshit meaningless matches that no one gives a crap about so that the corrupt international federations can have plenty of money to bribe FIFA with, and players can get injured and impact the race for trophies.

This evening I saw a spate of headlines after England coach Fabio Capello shared a meal with some journalists. It seems most of the talk was about England's future i.e. Jack Wilshere.

Interestingly, Capello wants to play young Jack in front of his back four.

I want to put him in this position in front of the back four.
