good for him

I wanna know why Sven Goran Eriksson only picks players from Man U,Liverpool,Arsenal plus a few tokens.<br>I would like to draw your attention to probably the best holding midfielder in the country: Chris Bart-Williams. OK so I'm a bit biased; but even so he should look further afield then the top 5/6 teams in the premiership.

[Roddy]

yeh but have you noticed that they are the top teams in england today, so they attract the best players usually, therefore there is more chance of a player being picked from man u / arsenal / liverpool than forest

[A(THE?)MARK_AND_LARD_FAN]

Yeah Roddy I appreciate that,but....<br>Most of the top teams field foreign players - and by 'foreign' players I include Welsh and Scottish and Northern Irish.<br>What irritates me is that some of these players arn't first team regulars for their clubs - there are loads of these great workhorse who play week in week out who never get any recognition.<P>ps: watch out for David Prutton and Jermaine Jenas - future England players...you heard it here first !!!!<P>pps: How will Beckham's injury effect England and also prediction for the score in Munich....I would like to think we nick it,but realistically I think it will be 1-1.

Hey that reminds me...<br>Anyone else play Championship Manager???<br>I've found out a great formula to win !!!!<br>I took Shrewsbury Town(who I don't support) form division 3 to the UEFA cup within about 5 years.<br>It just reminded me I bought Danny Murphy and he scored loads of goals for me in dividion 1 !!

Hey a Mark and Lard fan. I play Champ Man, whats ur secret formula/tactic?<P>I'm a Forest fan and I went to see them play Palace at the weekend. They were a bit slack in defence but they tore Palace apart and Harewood scored a cracker.<P>Jenas and Prutton will play for England one day and Eugenne Bopp will be worth £20 million in a few years. Birmingham bidding £1 million for Bart-Williams is an insult. He scored 16 goals last season playing at centre back!! He is a better free-kick taker than Beckham. He's gotta be worth at leat £5 million.

I play champ man A(THE?)MARK AND LARD FAN. Could you email me your tactic/formula. mailto:bigrennie@yahoo.com<P>I am a Forest fan aswell. Bart-Williams is a class player. 16 goals from defence is some achievement. He is better at free kicks than Beckham. Birminghams £1 million bid was an insult. He is worth at least £5million.

4-3-3 is a good tactic in champ manager. I reckon it will be 0-0 against Germany.

[Roddy]

i used to get my best striker to mark the opposition's keeper and they scored loads. that was in the welsh league. it doesn't seem to work as well in the english league, they're always offside

[Roddy]

england will loooooooooooooose in germany
