Had it been in Gdansk or Wroclaw I would have been there. I'll probably make a vacation in Poland next year instead.

Right, with the domestic football season all but over, lets turn our attention to the Euros.

Who is going to win?

If you believe the Brit papers, then not us because Roy is in charge!

The sensible choice has to be Germany, and it's where I'd put my money, probably beating the Czechs and Dutch on their way to a final against Spain. If I was given a pound I'd put it on Croatia as an outside choice.

I think Roy is a decent manager and I just hope he is given a chance...If he gets us out of the group he will have done a FANTASTIC job.

John Terry or Rio Ferdinand? That is the question.

We will know the answer soon enough.

I just read it. No idea if it was right or not since I have not seen much of Liverpool this year. But normally it is just easier to sack the manager for a bad result than blame the players.

Warspite1

In my opinion - and therefore a fact - yes.

Rio just appears too injury prone - and I'm fed up with England taking injured players to major tournaments.

As a human being John Terry is pond life. He also has his limitations as a footballer (and has been exposed more than once at the highest level) but you cannot deny on the pitch he has a real presence - Mourinho (in particular), every Chelsea and every England manager can't all be wrong.

Liverpool have made a decision I thought they would defer for one more year - he is King Kenny after all...

However, what have they done this year? Spent a flippin' fortune on massively over-priced players - Carroll, Adam, Henderson

, Downing - pur-lease.

They were incredibly lucky to win the Carling Cup against Championship Cardiff City and their league position was just not good enough.

I don't think you need to look outside the big four; Spain, Germany, Italy and Holland. I'll go for Holland - but that is with my heart, my head says Spain.

I don't think the USA qualified in the mens tournament - although are in the womens. Britain and USA are in different groups so may be we will meet later in the competition.

Yes. But it is not as exciting as the two other big football tournaments. I like it when all the best players are included in the teams and that is not the case with the Olympic games.

Each squad in the Olympic games can have eighteen players, of which no more than three may be born before 1 January 1989.

Roy cannot pronounce his R's properly. There was a bit of a furore caused by The Sun newspaper headline the day after Hodgson's appointment - something like

Its Woy
Now for the Euwos

All a bit childish to be honest but no harm meant I'm sure.

So what has this to do with Wayne and the weather? It explains the spelling if Roy Hodgson's name but I still do not get the rest.

I feel thick headed.
