Good save from delph!



Kenny got him the job. And to be fair a lot of world class players walk into good management jobs and dont cut it at management level.


The Celtic job is big one for a manager with no experience.



It is, or should i say it was.

He had an absolute fortune to spend, and it was the infamous defeat to Inverness CT in the cup that was the final straw I seem to remember.

Sterling scores his first England goal I think.

Yep i remember that.

Still Barnes was one hell of a player, and maybe Kenny thought he could achieve what he did after his playing days.

Without doubt my favourite player of the eighties and early nineties, in my opinion one of the best players to ever play for Liverpool. Just couldn't release the shackles in his head which prevented him from repeating his club form for England.

Barnes scored a couple of great goals for England, but was mainly poor.

Harry Kane seems to be the new messiah....I hope the English media don't over hype him and build him up for a fall.

remember James Beatty? Scored lots of goals in the premier league but struggled in an England shirt....
