Hey,

Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

Cheers for the link Nigel, appreciate it.

I agree with both yours and Harry's summation, I acknowledged it in the article when I referred to Palacios' and Huddlestone's lack of mobility.

They couldn't get close to any of the United midfielders. Jenas made a difference though.

Last year at against United Spurs played 442 with Modric on the left and got destroyed.

The change might not have worked, but Spurs did play better.

Again, thanks for the link, much appreciated.

Regards,

Willie

I will always tell people about how good syriana (in particular) and the constant gardner are.

Frost/nixon is definatly worth watching, I really enjoyed it and would love to watch the real interviews in full, I suggest you try and get the real interviews and watch them after the film, its amazing just how well the actors played the parts.

The real interviews are, in pieces, on youtube.

Its encouragement tinged with a hint of jelousy ;-)

You have what I would call the x-factor when it comes to writing, full of quiet class and professionalism.

Great stuff, I reckon your going to do very well if you take this up as a career.
