Roy Hodgson was left fuming at Wembley last night at Belgium’s strong-arm tactics that has left England sweating over the fitness of players. The one incident that really frustrated was Gary Cahill’s suspected broken jaw that he received after being shoved into Joe Hart. Hodgson stated “Unfortunate is too kind a word. You take unkindly to those kind of pushes that take a defender into the goalkeeper and the consequences might be worse for us than the yellow card.” As well as Cahill, John Terry faces a scan today to determine his hamstring injury.

Elsewhere in the news Harry Redknapp is feeling the heat at Tottenham; Sir Alex Ferguson has been left frustrated by inflated transfer fees, while Patrick Viera believes that half of England’s problems is the lack of spirit.

[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’left’]

When lads meet other lads after a few boring ‘what do you do?’ and ‘where are you from?’ questions the conversation usually leads on to the inevitable ‘who do you support?’ question.

This was something that, during my early to mid twenties I always used to dread. That’s because, in order, my answers would have been ‘a student, Cardiff, Man Utd.’

For the millions of working non-Utd fans I was as bad as it gets! A tax dodging glory hunter!

However, I was neither. Well, that’s a lie. I was dodging taxes (through no fault of my own – that’s just the way that the UK education system is set up) but I certainly wasn’t a glory hunter. It just so happened that glory had, through fate’s will, hunted me out the day I decided that Utd were the team for me.

All of my friends were Liverpool fans and a small minority were fans of our local club – Cardiff City. However, during the early 1990s they were in the bottom divisions and weren’t on TV. We, as skint young men, were too poor and scared to brave the terraces of Ninian Park. Christ, we were too young to go it alone! For that very reason we, like many other boys in the South Wales area, followed a TV team. Liverpool were the glory team of the late 80s and, as such, all of my friends chose them as their team.

I was different though. I wanted to be different. I heard that Liverpool’s rivals were Utd so I decided to follow them. And that, as they say, was that. I was a Manc, a red, a Red Devil.

Just because I’m not from Manchester doesn’t devalue my support of them however. I truly resent any accusation of the kind. As a friend of mine once said (admittedly about Jamie Carragher) if you cut me open I’d ‘bleed red’.

I remember the 1990 Cup Final, the 1993 Premier League and the 1994 double. I was in my early teens for these so my supporting was relatively naive and innocent – limiting itself to cheers followed by a little gloat to friends.

It was as I got older that my supporting evolved into a defence of my position. I knew the reserve team, I knew the youth teams, I could reel off any Utd stat you wanted. This was because I was becoming aware of the glory hunter title and, quite frankly, it pissed me off! I felt that I had to defend my position as a Welsh Man Utd fan so I revised United and I become a ‘statto’ to prove my support.

United became, as I entered my late teens, who I was. I would ensure that I wore one of my many shirts on matchday as I listened to matches on 5Live or waited, with baited breath, for CEEFAX’s latest score page to refresh. I began to wear my collar upright at all times, regardless of the shirt. I implored my parents to only buy SHARP electrical goods. Shit, I even believed Fergie when he said they couldn’t see each other in their grey shirts!

Even the 1999 treble was tainted with a feeling of shame. I remember that as my greatest ever sporting year and I will never be able to hear or remember the words ‘and Solskjaer has won it’ without getting goosebumps! But, as I went off to university the following year I was aware, almost ashamed of the fact that, I was going to have to battle off all ‘glory hunter’ accusations.

And I shouldn’t feel shame supporting my club. I’ve been to Old Trafford several times to see them. My debut game was 3rd December 1994 vs. Norwich City. The night previous I was playing five a side football and, without realising, broke my metatarsal (before Beckham had told the world what a metatarsal was!). I spent the following day hobbling around Manchester flowing through seas of red, looking on in awe at the sheer volume of fans that hit the stadium to see ‘Five Cantonaaaaaaaas’ score for a 1-0 victory.

It was only as I hit my mid-twenties that I realised that it didn’t matter where you were from. You could support, with the same ferocity as a Mancunian United fan, Man Utd. I could delight in their victories and wallow in their losses with equal passion. I did and still do. The first thing I do every morning is check the BBC gossip column on my phone in the hope that Sneijder has been spotted at Old Trafford, whenever I play Football Manager I manage United – never anyone else – and live out my dream of managing the greatest team ever, I’ve realised that being a United fan isn’t where you’re from, it’s who you are.

As a result, the last decade has seen him discover some of the best young talent across Europe before these players even made it onto other club’s radars. The names on the list below are evidence that Wenger is able to sniff talent out before most others, even if he often doesn’t have the resources to acquire the players in question.

Tottenham are ready to make a move for Ivory Coast international striker Arouna Kone, according to Mirror Football.

The White Hart Lane side are expected to lose Emmanuel Adebayor due to his wage demands, and Harry Redknapp is eyeing up new striking options.

With Marseille’s France international Loic Remy also a real target, Spurs are looking into making a move for Kone.

The powerful forward was on loan from Sevilla to Levante this season, and impressed by scoring 15 La Liga goals.

The African attacker is out of contract now however and available on a free transfer, with the likes of Atletico Madrid and Stoke also interested in the player’s signature.

Spurs are weighing up a move, but will wait until after the Champions League final to see if they are in next year’s top club competition before commencing their transfer plans for the summer.

English Premier League new boys Queens Park Rangers have signed former Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd on a three-year deal.Bothroyd, 29, has been without a club since leaving Cardiff at the end of the 2010/11 season, and is QPR boss Neil Warnock’s first off-season acquisition.

“I spoke to the manager and he told me how much he wanted me,” Bothroyd told the QPR website.

“He convinced me that this was the right place to be. He told me the direction that he wants to go in and the way he wants to play.”

“I think this club is heading in the right direction and has got a lot of ambition.”

Bothroyd said he was hopeful that good form with QPR could relaunch his England career after he made his debut in a friendly against France last November.

“I want to be playing against the best players in the world, and I got a taste of that when I joined up with the England squad. Hopefully I can do well for QPR and get back into the squad,” he said.

Elsewhere, Wolves have completed the signing of defender Roger Johnson on a four-year-deal from Birmingham.

The 28-year-old has signed for an undisclosed fee after successfully completing a medical on Monday.

Johnson is Mick McCarthy’s third permanent signing of the summer following the arrival of midfielder Jamie O’Hara from Tottenham and former Swansea goalkeeper Dorus de Vries.

“We tried to sign Roger two years ago when he moved from Cardiff to Birmingham and have been tracking him ever since,” Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey told the club’s official website.

“We are pleased to have signed what we believe to be an excellent player who represents excellent value for money for us.”

“He fits the bill perfectly – a British centre-back in his prime, one with Premier League and cup-winning experience, a vocal, determined, leader type who has played consistently well for a long time.”

“We stressed that we would not rush to do deals this summer and would have to be patient in the pursuit of our targets, which has proved to be beneficial for us.”

Championship side Leicester City have signed full-back Paul Konchesky from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.

The defender, who has signed a three-year contract, is the latest player to join Sven-Goran Eriksson’s team as he looks to build a side capable of mounting a push for promotion.

Liverpool signed the left-back last summer after an impressive season for Fulham in which he helped guide them to the Europa League final, but he failed to settle at Anfield and spent the second half of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest.

“Paul has been a Premier League player year in and year out throughout his career so he represents a very big signing for us,” Eriksson told the Foxes’ website.

“He wanted to come to Leicester City and it means a lot that proven, established top flight footballers want to be part of what we are building here.”

The 30-year-old also has previous history with the Leicester manager, as Eriksson was the man who gave him the first of his two England caps in 2003.

Konchesky is set to join up with the squad on their pre-season tour of Sweden later this week.

And former Hamburg SV goalkeeper Frank Rost is set to join New York Red Bulls after 18 years in the Bundesliga.

The 38-year-old, who also played for Werder Bremen and Schalke 04, saw his contract with Hamburg run out at the end of the season and is set to join the MLS team this week.

“We are excited that Frank has decided to join us midway through the season,” team sports director Erik Soler told Bild newspaper.

The Champions League brought mixed fortunes for the England clubs last night as Arsenal slumped to defeat in Braga, while Chelsea stumbled back from a goal down to ensure that they win their group. Tottenham and Manchester United are in action tonight and they’ll be hoping for maximum points to ensure their progress to the knock-out stages.

In the papers this morning there has been a mixed bag of stories which has included Adebayor talking up a move to Juventus; Wayne Rooney insisting his future remains at Old Trafford and Carlo Ancelotti warns his Chelsea stars:

There is a common saying in football that you pay the price for failure but it appears in the case of QPR’s it will be their fans that will be paying the price for their recent success.

When on QPR finally celebrated promotion to the Premier League on 20 April, they probably knew with their new found Barclays Premier League status would come with an increase in prices for the new season.

However I doubt if any of them expected a massive 40 per cent price hike on season tickets from last season with the cheapest adult ticket now at £47 and the most expensive season tickets have increased from £699 to £999.

So despite the club benefiting for a £90 million windfall after being promoted, the owners have still decide to put the prices up and in doing so are helping to take the game away from the real fans who can hardly afford these inflated prices.

A major problem is that despite the increase, QPR’s home Loftus Road will be sold out for nearly every game next season so the owners can rightly charge as much as they feel it is worth.

When the 20th campaign of the top flight starts in August, fans will still turn up and most games will sell out.  People can complain about the shocking admission charges, rip off kit prices but they will still turn up every week and buy the new kit, it all part of loving a football club.

The best example of this is in the recent UEFA Champions League final held at a sold-out Wembley where UEFA and the FA agreed to outrageous overinflated prices where the cheapest ticket was £80 and the most expensive £300. But it still easily sold out and probably would have a few times over even with the high price to pay. Simple Keynesian economics explains that as the product demand increases so will its price and this seems to be the situation in football.

Back in 1992 when the format of the Premier League was introduced it was thought that the wealth and power it would create could be used for the benefit of the entire game from the top level to the grassroots as well as making the sport more affordable in the future.

They could not have been more wrong. Vast sums of money that should of been re-invested back into the game is now disappearing to pay for luxury items, super injunctions and the lavish lifestyle that footballers live, instead of being passed down the football pyramid.

At the top level of the game there will be a 6.5 per cent rise at the Emirates for next season, tickets at Stamford Bridge will start at £46 with the cheapest season ticket at £59 and away fans still have to pay £50 at Old Trafford but did you know an adult also has to fork out £17 to see Blue Square Conference side Mansfield Town play?

However there is some light at the end of a very dark tunnel with Premier League side Blackburn offering £225 season tickets where fans can watch top-flight football for less than £12 a game, actually working out cheaper than most Football League teams.

There are also some positives in the Football League where teams are introducing incentives to attract more supporters. Hartlepool United have so far had success with their £100 season ticket scheme with nearly 2000 supporters so far signed up, which could work out as cheap as £4.34 to watch each League One game. In League Two Bradford City fans have been benefiting from cheap £150 season tickets for recent years and despite having their worst season on the pitch for years they still averaged an 11,127 crowd last season. This shows what can be done if fans are fairly charged to watch their side, however it is just not common enough.

As the money in football increases the top clubs are getting richer leaving the lower clubs further behind and the loyal fans are the people who are paying for this discrepancy at all levels of the game. The real price of the huge success of the beautiful game.

How many excuses does Fernando Torres need this season. To start with, Roy Hodgson put his form down to the niggling hamstring injury he suffered in the World Cup Final in July. Then he moved on from this and excused Torres’ early season form by arguing the striker was suffering from a World Cup hangover. Now Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has waded in and blamed the service of the Liverpool players.

Is Fernando Torres being let down by his team mates or is he being let down by his managers outdated and defensive squad balance.

The Guardian on Tuesday, reported that Liverpool Goalkeeper, Pepe Reina has blamed Fernando Torres’ poor form on the lack of quality service the Liverpool team have offered him so far this term.

”I don’t think we have been assisting him like we should, particularly in the last few weeks. He has not been able to do anything at all. We know he is the type of player that can win a game just like that, but we can’t expect him to keep doing it on his own. We have to feed him in. That’s the point.” Said the Spanish goalkeeper.

In all fairness to Torres this has been a fair point. Liverpool have a lack of creativity in midfield and a lack of quality wide men. Christian Poulsen and Lucas Leiva have their role in the squad but moving the ball forward quickly, and supporting Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres isn’t their strength. If Torres is out of form he will obviously become an isolated figure up front. With this lack of service, the striker becomes frustrated – and this is what we have seen this season. If Liverpool had a better passer playing in centre midfield the ball would be released to Gerrard at better and more positive opportunities. Ever since the sale of Xabi Alonso, Liverpool have struggled in this side of of their game. Liverpool need to invest in more creative players or the problems we have seen at the start of the season will continue.

Are Pepe Reina’s comments an indication that the squad want to be more creative and more positive. Against Blackburn they were and if it had not been for Paul Robinson it could have four or five in the first half. Liverpool played with the shackles off but will this be a flash in the pan. Is Torres’ poor form due to the way Hodgson has set his team up this season.

Liverpool are playing a new style, a style that doesn’t immediately suit Fernando Torres. Under Benitez Liverpool pressed higher up the pitch and attacking situations happened a lot closer to Torres. When Liverpool won 4-1 at Old Trafford this was the key to the victory. Pressing Michael Carrick and releasing Torres and Gerrard early, in far more favourable attacking situations. Under Hodgson Liverpool defend deeper, allowing teams to get men behind the ball when their attacks break down. The slow pace of Liverpool’s play so far this season is clearly affecting Torres’ game. Against Blackburn on Sunday, Torres looked sharper because the quality of  ball played to him was better and Liverpool got men around him early. If Liverpool can continue to do this, Torres’ form will pick up.

The reality is Hodgson will not change his tactics. The manager will continue to play without creative influence and devoid of pace and Torres will be left to feed on scraps. Liverpool fans have voiced their concerns on the way Torres has been utilised this season, and the lack of support for him. On his day he is one of the best strikers around but he needs support if he is going to get back on form. Fernando Torres has had a lot of excuses this season but if Hodgson gives Liverpool the freedom to get forward, Torres will not need such excuses.

The fear for Liverpool fans must be that if Roy Hodgson does not change his tactics to suit Fernando Torres, how long can the Spaniard last it out at Anfield. Hodgson needs to look at Sunday’s performance and realise this is the way Liverpool need to play. If he can change the balance of the team to suit this – Liverpool will no doubt be moving up the table in the near future.

With the actions of certain other Premier League players, it’s easy to focus on the negative aspects of the beautiful game. The gentleman player, who is truly just happy to be playing the sport he loves, is dying breed. This makes Javier Hernandez a very special character indeed.

The Manchester United hit-man has been a revelation since his arrival from Mexican giants Chivas Guadalajara in the summer of 2010, averaging a goal almost every other game. This statistic is even more remarkable considering 10, nearly 50%, of his strikes have come from the bench, making him joint second highest goal-scoring substitute at United, tied with Ryan Giggs.

We have seen a certain player in recent times unhappy to play a role for his club from the dugout, but this is not something that bothers Chicharito, who just wants to do his best for the team:

“I don’t care if I am on the bench,” he told the Guardian.

“Last year I was on the bench for a long time. I still got into the team at the end of the season. Every player in every team wants to play as many minutes as possible. It is the gaffer who has the answers.

“I don’t have the answer to what makes me effective as a substitute. In football you can always come up with a reason for anything, perhaps it is nothing more than having a little bit of luck. I just know if I play one minute, or 10, or 90, I try to play the same way. My mind is always to do my best and help my team.”

This role is one that favours the little Mexican, who’s predatory instincts and burst of pace make him a tiring defenders worst nightmare. This was evident the Red Devils 3-3 draw with Chelsea, where Hernandez arrived, from the bench, to nod in the equalising goal completing United’s comeback. This is not the first time that he has done this either, a similar state of affairs occurred at Anfield, as the marksman again came on to bury a fine header levelling the scores, and securing a vital point for his side.

Hernandez’s goals have earned Manchester United nine points this term. Along with single points gained at Anfield and Stamford Bridge, he netted the opener in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle and contributed with two goals against Everton and Swansea to secure both of the Manchester club’s 1-0 wins. Without those strikes United would be in third spot, behind Spurs, with next to no chance in the title race. This record is even more impressive considering the front-man has been battling injury thus far, and as a result has been unable to maintain a run in the side.

Hernandez now looks to be getting back to full fitness after having to endure a stop-start campaign so far, which can only serve as a benefit to everybody at Old Trafford, as they look to overhaul local rivals City in the race for the title.

“Sometimes football is going to give you good things. Sometimes it won’t. It is part of the game. I just want to enjoy it because I am living a dream to play for Manchester United.”

With their fox-in-the-box happy with life at the club, and getting back to full fitness just when it matters, who would bet against United securing yet another title. Hernandez’s outlook on the game is one that should be admired, particularly in time of big egos and schoolboy tantrums.
