columnist Adam Thompson applauds the appointment of Paul Ince and
feels that he is more than capable of taking Blackburn Rovers to the next
level.
At the backend of last season, (around the time when every insulting adjective was attached to Wolves
Manager Mick McCarthy's name.), there came a cry for a new man to steer my
club, the apparent ‘sleeping giant'
back into the Premiership. Sam Allardyce, Steve McClaren even Graham Taylor
were linked to the job. However the firm favourite was a man that had served
Wolves well in his 4 year stay, a man that in his first season guided us to
promotion and was the experienced head in our ill fated relegation season, that
man was Paul Ince or as he likes to be known ‘The Guvnor'.

columnist Adam Thompson feels that Rafa Benitez must pull out the
stops and bring in the one man who can make Liverpool serious title contenders.
Euro 2008 hasn't produced any unknown stars for me, in fact
if anything it's only enhanced the growing reputations of stars who are
dazzling their own domestic leagues, Lukas Podolski, Wesley Sneider and the
Tottenham bound Luka Modric have all caught my eye. However one player has been
simply fantastic (deadly even) all
most as sharp as the lines in his goatee and the spikes on his head and that is
Spain's
David Villa.

columnist Adam Thompson can understand why Ronaldo may want to
leave United and feels supporters sometimes forget that football is just a job,
at the end of the day.
I sat in a pub with some work mates of mine discussing one of
the hot topics at the moment - Cristiano Ronaldo's ‘will he won't he' transfer to Real Madrid. One slated his loyalty ‘a total disgrace to the club that stood by
him after the aftermath of the 2006 World Cup' said he, the other argued ‘If someone is stupid enough to pay you that
much money wouldn't you?'

columnist Adam Thompson cannot believe that the FA overlooked the
prospect of a home nations tournament this summer.
As I prepare for another summer of overcast get together' at
barbecues, rising fuel prices and a day by day countdown to next season's
football. I can't help but think how much sweeter this summer would have been
if my beloved England were participating in a competitive tournament. No not
Euro 2008... I mean who wants to be there anyway (Not sour grapes at all) I'm talking about a Home nation
international tournament. With not even a home nation's team playing in Austria and Switzerland the
far North-West of Europe is going to have to settle with watching the rest of
our continent have their party and prepare for a very bland and very boring footballing
summer at home.
Wolverhampton PodJockey Adam Thompson is not going to let England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008 stop his enjoyment of the tournament and has decided join the media bandwagon in adopting a nation to follow.
I support 3 teams Wolves, England and anybody who is playing The Albion. Wolves did their best to give the annual May disappointment, and England have been looking for summer holiday destinations since the back end of autumn.
