Anyhow, after a calm cool and casual 2-0 win over Liverpool Giggs thinks is exactly what I should be saying to my players: Despite the result your performance was dissapointing Way to go Giggsy! My personal favorite of his "suggestions" for team talk is: For the fans Except every single player has their own personal: Expect a performance from you today What would the players think?

Just-Wool Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Torres scored and Gerrard scored, so I think the fans were happy at this point with them. Just started a new game with Crewe, my fans are disappointed that Miller and Schumacher have left. Now that would be fair enough if Miller hadn't come to me and said "Boss, I don't like this town, it's full of, well, weird people. I want to go somewhere else and be more cosmopolitan. Can you get me on the transfer list?" His choice of clubs when he goes? York. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aw083 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 There is a difference between club captain and team captain though. You can be the club captain and 'ambassador' as such, but you're in your mid to late 30s. So you don't play and someone else takes your place on the pitch. But YOU are still club captain and the players respect you in that way. Yes it's funny but understandable in the cases of Neville and Stevie in my opinion.

He is still the Tottenham Captain although Keane has taken the armband onfield regardless if King is in the side or not. On the otherhand you can not replicate this in the game unless you just leave them captain and just let your vice captain be the one you want as onfield captain.

Some Guy! Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 So, as manager of the a rampant Derby County side, unbeaten in Premier League in more than 60 matches I have a look at my second favorite side in England. Burton Albion and see they are 5 points clear of safety (in march). I think, it may be nice to give them a confidence boost, and what better than the manager of the Champions of England, Europe and the World saying that under their current boss they can and will survive. Well, I go to speak to their manager, one Nicky Ardley. I then hear that he has a poor opinion of me?! What the hell did I do to him?! Oh well, bugger 'em! Burton to go down in flames! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now former Derby captain, playing at least 20+ matches a season has left Derby for Manchester United to "get more first team football."

Come back to me next week with his response, or don't do that and just tell me that he's still unhappy, it's entirely up to you Mauro" i think we bought the same players for Milan except that i actually played Galvan. he has like 20+ appearances, as a substitute and Nesta has just given grief for making him a squad rotation player and saying that i don't appreciate his contributions to the squad despite him being 38 yo and pass it. "Look here Mr. I-am-important-to-the team if i don't appreciate your contributions, you would have been made a backup to the first team and sent to the reserves."
