with a name like mclaren i think he must of been sent to us by the scots to destroy us. then i dont think the sfa are stupid enough to make our mistake. billy davies would be good with the right players i think.

I'm not overly convinced that Davies is the man for the job, he hasnt really achieved anything worth noting at any of the teams he has managed. I'd rather have somebody with a bit more experience in management that we know is capable of motivating the team and getting 100% out of the team. Perhaps even somebody like Jim Jefferies who is Killie boss, he has little cash available for his squad yet he can still get them to perform well.

Arsenal suffered a bit of a shock defeat, could possibly have thrown away their lead in the title with Chelsea comin next week. If United beat Liverpool and Arsenal lose to Chelsea.

On another note, news tat Mourinho has siad that he won't be the next England manager.

Where would we be if we did'ht have rules....?

France, Thats Right.

stupid f*cking english c*nts dont deserve to live let alone a manager!!1 etc...

fabio capello i think may be our best bet. he has european experience and has sucsess at a high level. plus he stopped the overseas gloryhunters from taking la liga again last season so he gets my vote. i just hope the media dont put him off like they did everyone else.

on the grid.

I think John Terry is probably the best captain for England, your only other options are Steven Gerrard, who would make a good England captain. Rio, who occasionally stands in at united, but i dont think he is vocal enougth.

I think Rooney would make a good captian for the future, the position he plays could go against him though.

rooney has been good for england for the last two games he has played, but before that he hasn't really done hardly anything since euro 2004. by the time he becomes captain (if he does) most of todays team will have gone.

i think agbonlahor, milner and walcott deserve a run in the next freindly. we have a good set of under 21's to look to.

If it was up to me I'd appoint Rio as captain. Best role model in the current England team.

Yeah he would be a great role model. He can teach all of the youngsters how to 'forget' to take a drugs test.

Lets go to the pub lads, sod this drugs test business...

Does the job on the pitch though. Does it without any of the antics of Gerrard and Terry as well. No diving, no harassing the referee...

what the hell happened to rangers?

Relatively crap first half, little entertainment value, goalkeeper should have had a shout to let the ball run through but didnt = 1-0.

Second half was a much better start, more attacking football with Cousin taken off for Naismith (not before time as Cousin was totally uninterested). Attacking football from Rangers up until around the 75minute mark when we had to bring on a striker in the hope of getting a goal, straight from the substitution Lyon went up the field and scored :(. After that I turned the telly off as I knew it was game over. Darcheville who came on as sub was sent off for violent conduct which was after the third goal which I missed.

Overall a disappointing night, according to the posession stats we outplayed Lyon for the whole game although they had twice as many shots on target as us.

Rio is certainly a better role model than John Terry:

In 2001 Terry, along with then teammates FRANK LAMPARD, EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN and JODY MORRIS, were fined by Chelsea for going on a five-hour drinking binge which resulted in them stripping off, swearing and vomiting, in a hotel packed with American tourists the day after the 9/11 attacks.

Didn't Terry allegedly cheat on his wife too? Allegedly. You can getting into fights at nightclubs to the list too.

Also, at least Rio doesn't chase the ref around the pitch and shout in his face from 2mm away.

The Rangers game last night :x I hope Celtic get drawn against Inter Milan.

Well he can't be much worse than mclaren so here's hoping that he improves the team and that they actually play together like scotland or northern ireland instead of individuals.

On a different note the liverpool resulys was a pleasant surprise and could the jealous everton fans who keep robbing our players please stop it.

There even having a poll on football 365 http://forum.football365.com/index.php?t=msg&th=468343&start=0&

well it's got so bad now that we will settle for results instead of flair. nothing can be worse than that scottish trained boro' pleb that was maclaren.

they should leave cappello to do his job, i am expecting people to earn their place in the team. no matter if it is gerrard/rooney/owen or beckham etc...

    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
