Quote:I don't get the point of what he is saying. He has already put the names in the envelopes and then says " make sure you're not one of them ". How can they make sure they are not one of them? He has already decided. Will he reveal the names in the envelopes at the end of the season? Is it me?

Mind games to motivate individuals,is pretty straight forward but in my opinion not the best way to ingratiate yourself with your players.
Having said that,he's the boss first & foremost and not a friend,but these revelations is why I'm not convinced we should have done this warts an all documentary,because it leaves us open to ridicule.(rightly or wrongly)

Ireland are an absolute shambles tonight.

I know its Germany, but we usually thrive when we are the under dogs, but its just awful throughout to watch.

We need change and new ideas.

Ireland really are shit at the moment.

Faroe Islands only lost 0-3 away to Germany and despite us being a far better team than Faroe Islands (on paper at least) we get smashed 1-6 at home to Germany, a record home defeat to us.

This must be one of the lowest moments ever in Irish football.

You will never be the Irish . . . give me strength.

Not a fan of Craig Levein but 3 big decisions have gone against him tonight. Ball wasn't out for Fletcher goal & Ramsay and Bale should have received 2nd yellow cards for diving and Wales should have done to 9 men

Agree decisions went against us but Wales did dominate 2nd half, Berra lucky to escape his venture into rugby

Was genuinely shocked to see the scale of the defeat by Ireland to Germany. I suppose the Germans can smash anyone on their day, but 6-1 is hard to take. Dan I don't know how you feel about him but for me Trappattoni needs to step aside. Ireland are everyone's friend, it's horrible to see them take a tonking like that.

A very un-German performance against Sweden, throwing away a 4-0 lead at home to draw 4-4

Congrats to Chelsea and as for Spurs what a pile of crap .

i think they will do that to most teams this season. just wondering lookin at chelsea and man city i know only 8 games gon but maybe 1 of them might do an arsenal and go unbeaten in the league his season, cos both teams dont look like losing. not sure when they play each other but cant see any other teams keeping up with them, man utd keep letting goals in at home and already lost twice and as i write this arsenal are losing at norwich!
