    I wanted to be a sports journalist as a child but didn't think I had the talent to do so, perhaps I was wrong.

    The whole marks out of 10 thing bores me. Its just opinion of one person and means little , apart from fantasy football.
    Say the manager as has asked a midfielder to stay in the middle (Jan Molby style) come what may, a journo or fan might think hes had a "guttless" game but according to his manager hes had a good one.

    I don't think anyone could have accuse Jan Molby of not having guts. Or a gut, at least. :)

    Wow. If that's not journalism, I don't know what is.

    Mention of Jan Molby and gutless in the same sentence is an oxymoron.....

    Thing is, those players are mostly good quality (Larsson once much coveted, Adam Johnson was recently touted as England's next saviour, etc) but aren't gelling well. Like when a West Ham were relegated that time.

    Presume those ratings are just for the 2nd half -= after all they were 0-0 at half time.
