Considering how Steven Gerrard has so often won games for Liverpool on his own, including the Champs League final against AC Milan, I don't see how people can argue against him. Everyone has an opinion though, it's what makes arguing about football so much fun

Dear god no. As talented as MO'N seems to be, he hasn't really pushed Villa on the way I thought he would have done. I'd much rather we bring in a foreign manager with fresh tactics and ideas. If we can't get Jose, someone like Capello, Hiddink, Scolari, or Lippi will do nicely.

Why is it his fault? Surely it's the crap players that are to blame?

Poor tactics, wrong team selection, poor motivational skills, lack of leadership, no ability to strategize properly. Yes the team are also to blame, but he deserves as much blame, if not more.

Obviously I know **** all about football but I'm seeing it as an outsider - but to me they don't seem top class. I'm comparing it our other athletes, rugby stars and so on... They are in my opinion not worth the money they get paid. If they played for the passion like the lesser paid athletes in the UK they'd do better. They are resting on their laurels and know they don't have to give their 100% as they're pretty much guaranteed a job. Top class players that deserve the wage shouldn't be getting that much. Heck even the most successful businessmen and woman that work their arses off hardly make even £1m a year and contribute a lot more to society. Sure there are some footballers that give their money to good causes, but most of it is publicity related.
They're playing for money, not for the passion.

You don't think so?
You seem to be suggesting there that anyone who cares more for football than religion is dismissive of all religion and aggressive and ignorant. I'm one of the people who care more for football than religion, as is Kitten and others. Are you suggesting that we're dismissive and aggressive?

From someone who was once religious I'll admit I now care more about my football and rugby teams than I do about religion. So am I still dismissive and aggressive?
