It could serve as a bit of a warning for anyone intent on a truly successful footballing career.. I'm sure Bridgey is miserable waking up to a pop singer girlfriend and no need to work again.

A critical World Cup qualifier. Montenegro, considering the size of the nation really have progressed astonishingly. The venue for the game tonight is the 12,000 capacity Podgorica Arena. A real cauldron. Group H is currently as follows: Montenegro, 5 Played, 4 Won, Drawn 1, Lost 0, 13 points ---------------------------------------------------------- England, 5 Played, 3 Won, 2 Drawn, Lost 0, 11 points Ukraine, 4 played, 1 won, 2 drawn, 1 lost, 5 points Poland, 4 played, 1 won, 2 drawn, 1 lost, 5 points Moldova, 5 played, 1 won, 1 drawn, 3 lost, 4 points San Marino, 5 played, 0 won, 0 drawn, 5 lost, 0 points An utterly key game.... and I can see Montenegro winning.

I think you are right, a record for an outfield player, since surpassed by Frank Lampard.

A little harsh? http://www.football365.com/topical-top-10/8597783/Top-Ten

Probably never. The interesting part will be how the chairman and our owners react when they realise this.

Press conference live now. Can you keep Reading up Nigel? "We have to believe, I want Reading to be in the Premier League." He is now thanking the Saints fans for our support in his time with us.

I doubt he will go for Sharp, Le Fondre already fills that rule in the team for them. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dean Hammond go there.

More then? Not really. Dover Athletic maybe, I've mellowed on Villa recently, West Ham and QPR do get on my nerves a bit.

When is this needed by? My work head office is based in Halifax and i'll be up there in mid April. (It may depend on how flexible the seller is about going a little out of his way for pick up, but I may be able to help.)

On the face of it though ours was driven more by ignorance and shock rather then vindictiveness.

Idiots. But then, we already knew that.

They will be very lucky to have him.

They are holding the FA trophy final very early this year.

Yep, All The Saints. The other two just do not seem right.

I dissagree. These are sovereign nations and members of UEFA. Playing the sides like England, Italy, Spain etc justifies their existence. Beating teams like this convincingly is relevant as when two bigger teams are drawn into a group the goal difference will balance out, how you deal with the minnows is just as important as how you deal with the more established teams. And as for the credentials of the smaller nations, recently Malta defeated a major tournament finalist at home. The smaller nations need the equal stage and exposure to be given a chance to develop.

Punch mentioned Pochettino as the best tactical manager he's come across, Fenners actually said, 'you can't say him for every one......'

Our own player and Merson not withstanding, good show that.

You don't know that. ​Yeah, maybe.

Puncheon looked a little 'knowing' there.....

Ben Chorley, now at Stevenage

"If he had pace....."

Punch's 'Best Team' he's played with/against: GK: Graham Stack D: Alan Dunne (Millwall) D: Ben Chorley (Ex MK Dons, Wimbledon, Now at Stevenage) D: Luke Shaw CM: Nicky Bailey (Ex Barnet, At Middlesborough) CM: Lionel Morgan (Wimbledon youth player, now retired due to injury) CM: Oxlade-Chamberlain AM: Adam Lallana RF: DJ Campbell (Blackpool team-mate) CF: Rickie Lambert LF: David Connolly (Knew him at Wimbledon too)

I respect him taking responsibility for his actions......

Punch is straight on..... Along with the Skate.
