There will always be big questions asked of a team as big as us.
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
Anyone would welcome a player like Michael back into the team. He'll be on a high after signing for Newcastle,

This happens all the time ... this 'player power' thing comes up all the time (in the media). I think a little bit more respect should be shown to the manager,
It is frustrating to hear the fans criticize the manager so close to the World Cup. As players it is hard for us to take. They are entitled to their views because it costs a lot of money to follow the team everywhere.
I was asked if the next World Cup was going to be my last and I said possibly it could be, but I hope it isn't,
I thought the first yellow was harsh and the second even harsher,
