Find it hard to believe that Bradley Wright-Phillips is considered one of the best strikers in the US.

Any man who pays 8.5 million for Mauro Boselli should instantly be excluded from managing a decent club.

He is an ok manager I guess, but I hazard a guess if he was English he would be managing Rotherham. Not done much for me to suggest he is this brililant tactician people talk about.

Iniesta made his debut on this day in 2002.

Interesting feature in The Telegraph about how almost every Arsenal player that has turned into a manager from Wenger-era Arsenal has been an unmitigated flop.
