Match of the Day

[Chico Hamilton III]

Julio Iglesias

[Neil Hawkes]

More than I thought - mind you I didn't know half of them where keepers (except for Platt and he was shit at his stint between the sticks)

[adrenachrome]

Mervyn Day manged Carlisle, apparently.

Haven't watched MOTD yet but I think Friedel is actually a cut above the rest when it comes to punditry. I thought he was excellent during the World Cup, when it struck me that (intelligent) goalkeepers have a lot to offer in analysing games as they tend to watch a lot of football, if you see what I mean.

On this point - has there ever been a goalkeeper turned manager?

Peter Shilton for a bit at Plymouth.  Dino Zoff springs to mind as well.

Yeah, but what did that pair ever win !!

Paul Barron

Has he ever managed? I've always thought he was a coach.

[SoccerHQ]

Guy in charge of Valencia used to be a keeper.

I actually though Friedel had retired, didn't realise he was still technically a player at Spurs. He served us well as a player and I don't have a problem with his comments.

Tottenham 3 Villa 4

[peter w]

Or was that Jim...

[eamonn]

So was Morley's screamer at Goodison shown on MOTDs classic goals of the season slot then or what? I hope Zoggy emulates Tony some day soon.

[peter w]

yeah, just before our game. it'll be on 10 mins before of the end of the programme today .

Why was Jenas on MOTD this week ? Just to keep the spurs link alive .

[peter w]

Just about to post about this. jenas I've seen before and he is better than he was last night. he'll get better. Neville showed that he is the reincarnation of everything that was bad about the old boys network school of punditry. Offered no insight but random sentences that any of us could utter. For all his faults Shearer looks like he got the rocket up the arse and understands now that he's being paid a lot of money to inform and discuss. Not just,"He'll be disappointed with that" type guff. Gullitt isn't too bad either. Murphy is probably the best though.

But Phil Neville shouldn't be anywhere near it.

[SoccerHQ]

Murphy makes some good points but has a boring delivery.

Christ Jenas I'd forgotten about playing for us, didn't we have to pay his full wages or most of it from Spurs and typically he got injured in his third game for us.

Has he retired then given he's popping up on tv every five minutes.

[olaftab]

Jenas was on as studio expert during a live game in midweek. I was really surprised he lasted the 90 minutes.
