--------------------------------- [31] Old boss says Blanc is top --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 30, 2001 by redend:
Rolland Courbis coached 35-year-old Blanc between 1997 and 1999 while at Marseille. He said Blanc had the same faults and great qualities as when he was 25. "He is a great player but has never been a sprinter, and it is those who decided to hire him who should be criticised today." [Careful] "If they did not realise that before, they should buy themselves a stick and a dog for blind people." [Just when you thought he was going to be on the receiving end of the Govan hairdryer .. he said he thought Fergie knew exactly what he was doing and that it was a masterstroke]. "Manchester's defensive trouble come from their lack of collective spirit and has nothing to do with the age of Blanc. Manchester lost a great defender and replaced him with a great defender - it is just that Laurent is less physical but more technical than Stam." "I thought Ferguson had the genius idea to recreate the duo Barthez-Blanc." --------------------------------- [30] Free £10 Bet on Scouse match --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, October 30, 2001 by redend: ... who gets booked first .... for new punters If you haven't opened an account with Sporting Odds yet new punters get 2 Free bets - The first is a Free £10 bet on who will be shown the first card in the game between Liverpool and Manchester United on Nov 4th. The 2nd is a tenner on the FA Cup after 20 quids worth of bets ... or something - bollocks to that though. With us at Anfield its got to be a United player - and surely Gary (He Hates Scousers) Neville will outperform Keano under these circumstances with a pre-emptive strike and plenty of collateral damage. Bets from 50p are allowed - with minimum initial credit of a fiver or a tenner depending on account type. Winnings (what are they?) can be re-credited direct to your account through your bank card (Switch/Delta etc).
