I bought his autobigraphy on eBay to get more of an insight on him- waste of cash now but a good read- when GED had heart attack guess who was lying on the next bed terrified at the goings on in the treatment room at half time- a certain player who'd gone off injured - emile heskey!

I have to be honest, I don't give a shite who Houllier's assistant boss is as long as he's committed to the job. I never liked Thompson but I was prepared to give him a chance because he would have been the new manager's choice. Now he's not he can maintain his previous position as a know-nothing twat.

The guardian are saying it will be Patrice b...... something that was with him at pool till 2001 and then Lyon. Seems to have a good rep as defensive coach.

Berger sounds okey with me. Knew his bits on the field.
