The whitecaps have just joined MLS and moved to BC place stadium - the one that hosted the winter olympic ceremonies. They're owned by some mega rich internet chap I think.

The MLS superdraft is shortly to start - so it should be clear if he'll get to go. I think the whitecaps get first dips on new MLS players which is how they can choose him. Its an awesome city and if I was him I'd be packing right now....

When Savage first starting appearing on 5 Live, despite myself, I actually quite liked him. 

I now steer clear of 6-0-6 when he's on.

So did I, it was not long after the World Cup that he started believing he was the dogs bollocks when it comes to radio that he became annoying very quickly. A bit like when he started believing he was the dogs bollocks at football...

The sad thing is the uneducated sports follower in Canada will see him and think he is a regular footballer, there is no way the game will develop with him in the news!

He'll be a great signing for them too. The MLS isn't a tough league to play in and he'll fit right in. You're right about Vancouver though. I get to go there 4 or 5 times a year and it's really beautiful.

No he wasn't. His game was based on winding the opposition up.  If he got booked early he was anonymous.

He's realised that in the company of 10 other players, the focus is not soley on him.

Now he can concentrate on the radio and turn a call from a Bury season ticket holder regarding their transfer policy into another conversation about Robbie Savage. Happy listening!

I'm serious when I say that when he was younger, Savage was exactly the kind of player that Villa needed. Combative, a winder-upper and a far more skilful player that he was ever given credit for.

Would rather he kept playing through the lower leagues for a few more years.

Why he's rated so highly in the media circles as an 'intelligent' commentator on football is beyond me. All he ever does is talk about himself and spit cliche after cliche out. He offers no more insight than a chimpanzee examining what's on the end of his finger after scratching his own arse.

My thoughts too, I think the bloke only confirms what i've aleways thought about him and indeed was once told by a former team mate of his, he is a self centred wanker.

Thanks to Robbie Savage I now know I'm actually a bad person. The thoughts that entered my head when I heard he was retiring were based along the lines of 'damn, I was hoping he'd stay around a bit longer and pick up some form of horrible injury'. Im disappointed in myself for lowering myself enough to hate this clown, but he does make it very difficult not too.
