About Neil »

"Change the World"

If I want to be remembered, it would be about making a difference. I've got a lot of people to thank for in my young life and the only way to do that is to help those that are less fortunate. If I can find a way to combine that with my love for sports, then that is where you will probably find me. I just don't think I could live a life knowing I did nothing.

I just wanted to write something quick about the Falcons' bye-week. Take a look if you get the opportunity.

Hi Neil,

My latest article is out.

After the impressive start of Guardiola’s FC Barcelona, I have a question surrounding my mind.

Is coaching experience overrated in football?

I’d love your input¡

Very good point about Robben. He is probably the best winger in the world at getting up the side and in a position to shoot or deliver the cross but it has been that shot or cross that has been off and now teams know he is the only one doing anything for Madrid—we would have been waxed by Valencia without him—so they are putting all their defensive effort towards him.

An interesting move in my opinion would be to move Gago up further in the midfield and insert de la red. It may be a more defensive minded midfield than Schuster would like but with the way the back four are playing we need it. Also Gago and De la Red are absolutely fantastic playmakers from the midfield and whole Gago has proved himself to a certain point I have to say De la Red could be one of the best players on the team if he is given the chance to grow.

The international break scares me because as you said we always come back slow and a 0-2 start would not be good.

I completely agree. I know City made a few huge bids today including Villa and Berbatov but I didn't see Robinho in that group. But come to think of it, I am not surprised. Madrid wanted to get rid of him because of how he has been acting but because of how the whole situation had progressed they didnt want to send him to Chelsea. So I can just imagine Calderon getting the call from City and saying 40 million and he goes to Chelsea's rival, Score!

But it is an interesting move. I am pretty upset to not see a replacement come through. We did not play with a very devastating lineup this week and I was not impressed in the least. We looked terrible. Higuain may get a chance to prove himself as a winger now and I think he has the capability to really grow in to the role.
