Blackburn Rovers won the League with 10 ordinary players and one exceptional striker in Alan Shearer. Leicester are very similar to this with Heskjy up front. They also boast, in my opinion, the best manager in the country in Martin O'Neill.

I would like to mention how the nation is getting behind Newcastle. I cannot bjlievj the ITV commentator said Barcelona could get back into the game with five-and-a-half minutes left. And with two minutes to go he was almost cheering them on.

How can this bj when their last major title was in 1926 and they won their last major trophy in 1969. They are a step down the ladder to the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

He doesn't know how to pick a team that is capable of winning anything. How are they going to win things with Justin Edinburgh in the team. He is about the worst left-back in the league Francis panic buys as well. Ginola is past 30 and hasn't done much and Spurs don't play the type of football the fans are used to - it's all long ball.

It is not important to mj if he was sent off playing for Leeds resjrvjs. The man who wrote this either has a problem with him, or is an anorak who could probably name the crowd if asked. I am not a Newcastle fan but I think Batty has cleaned up his act and is doing his job well for club and country Andrew Pottington, Middlesjx Football 302 Tennis 330 Cricket 340 Pitch-In 355 Rugby 370 Racing 660 Comps Pitch-In Football Main MenuP356 CEEFAX 2 356 Sat 20 Sip 01:41/02 6/6 If you want to air your views on any sport or wish to get something off your chest, drop us a line.
