    Danny, he's gone and shaved it off. I thought he was trying to look like a young Santa who was going to offer goodwill and glad tidings to his fellow man. Oh wait.....

    A hattrick for Robbie against Germany and he'll go level with Gerd Muller, six goals and he'll go level with Klose

    I said all along that I would start Keane against Gibraltar and even Georgia and he was shocking against the latter.

    Yes I would start with Long all day against Germany because I feel Long's traits would be more suited to exploiting Germany.

    Different games have different merits.

    Interesting to read how he says he shouldn't have played games when he was injured, tired, felt a strain and how it could have helped him to play longer than he did. He use to laugh at foreign players when they wouldn't play but when he looks back they all played for a few years more than him because they listened to their bodies.

    Interesting in the light of McCarthy accusing him of faking injury.
    I'd say at that stage of his career he was probably feeling the strain somewhat, that is not to say he wasn't faking, only he knows the answers.

    Don't think he mentioned anything about tiredness and doubt he'd be too impressed if one of the Irish or Villa players pulled a Raheem Sterling.

    Yes interesting alright. A good read have to say. It was actually Rio Ferdinand who mentioned the tiredness.

    Jason must have felt so left-out at not having gotten a mention in Roy's second installment, he's resorted to making up excerpts from it:

    In the index to his first book, 8 out of the nine references to Sheffield Wednesday were actually to Sheffield United. In his second book, he refers to being 3 or 4 goals up against Wednesday and how they came back and got two and how while they can afford to do that against the likes of Wednesday, they can't do it against the better clubs. He's gone even further up by Christmas card list now (p.s. Only read it at the bookshop in the airport. Did NOT buy the book).

    Five games without a win now at Villa, including a loss last night against the bottom side. "The Keane impact" referred to by TOWK seems to have dissipated.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Finished the Keano book tonight.

    He mentions a few Irish lads he's fallen out with, saying he was too harsh on Damien Delaney, McShane had a great attitude, he understood Walters wanting to go to Premiership.
    Said David Connolly was a bit odd at times but he was a goalscorer so he could be as odd as he liked.
    Mentioned Matt Holland singing God Save The Queen at the top of his voice in a cup final.
    Says he likes the look of Hendrick and is very impressed with McCarthy and Coleman.

    He comes across very human and, I have to say, much happier than in the first book.
    Seems to really be enjoying working with O'Neill and Ireland.

    There are some genuinely funny moments in the book. He is quite self-effacing and really is an interesting character.

    I'm not sure whether Roddy Doyle is really clever in making it seem like it's just Roy talking...or if it is actually just Roy talking and Doyle simply documented it.
    Folding my way into the big money!!!
