arsenal are finished i think. wenger has lost his mind, as in "i'll buy strikers instead of some midfield replacements after losing nasri and fibreglass". liverpool are playing well enough to finish 4th again, and i think they will be more consistant this year, especially when gerrard comes back.

just thought i'd quickly post this.

this was 10 years ago today, the last time i saw england play world class. i was going to a wedding that night and i remember the fifth goal being scored listening to 5live on the way there. since then the side has shown how crap they can be more than how good they can be.

i don't think england are even close or good enough to win a major tournament. but now capello has gone, maybe all this defensive frame of mind football and bullshit that came with him can be put to bed now. plus the media need to stop thinking that rooney is the only player england has.

i'd like to see a lot of young players at the tournament, oxlade-chamberlin for one. 18 years old, fearless, pace, can cross, can score... could turn out to do what owen did in 98.

mick mccarthy has gone. he took wolves as far as he could and did a good job to keep the side in the premiership for three years, but i think it was his time. i just hope wolves show some ambition and try and get someone like steve bruce or alan curbishley, probably end up with ian dowie. #lackofambition

there's word redknapp might take paul scholes to the euros if he's in the job by then. now i think scholes is a legend, but he's 37. if we want to do what germany did at the last world cup then we need to get the likes of wilshire tournament experience.

I thought he did alright, he got wolves up into the premier league, and helped them stay for an extra season when no one thouhg they would.

he did. but everyone is dissapointed with the lack of ambition when it came to bringing in players. could of done with someone like robbie keane, his wages would of been worth it to stop up but wolves won't pay that much. but it's not all down to mccarthy, the majority of wolves fans feel sorry for him and have respect for what he's done. the board and players have to share the blame.

Would make me laugh if they end up with someone like Rafa. Mick did a good job but he needed new blood and failed to get any.

Now Standard Chartered are getting involved with the Luis Suarez thing, bet Liverpool's owners are not happy in the slightest. If he isn't careful he'll be got rid of.

frimpong seems like a good choice though... hopefully going to the wolves man u match in a couple of weeks...

there was a bit of bad luck ith frimpong being injured and bassong as well. but he's had three years to develop the team, most of the squad are championship class players.

no ambition was the problem, i don't think it was all down to mick. but he should of stood his ground against the board if they were saying you can't have this player or that because of money issues. wolves turn over around 60 million a year and it's being wasted on a new stand.

someone like benitez wouldn't come to the wolves, i'd be happy with steve bruce or curbishley (being as he saved west ham that year so he has experience). but the board have messed up. if mccarthy had to go, then why not do it in january so whoever comes in can buy the players they feel they would need to help wolves stop in the premier league.

they took out peel house in wolvers as well so that the owner of wwfc could build a hotel... bit stupid if you ask me. but also, surely it's better to spend the money on players rather than making the place look better? also, it's not going ot be finished now they won't get as much money.

steve morgan owns a building company, so the only thing he see's is developing the ground. get the football right first.

So Rangers in administration and Portsmouth might be going that way again too. Not a good time for football really. Hope that teams take note of whats happening and stop spending stupidly.

i know what's been going on at the wolves isn't exactly ideal. but the news today puts it into perspective, this is why i'm glad that wolves are one of the only few clubs not in millions of debt. i feel sorry for rangers, and especially portsmouth fans becuase they've had this for years now. just when they think they are out of it, it starts all over again.

    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
