    Both Gerard Houllier and Arsene Wenger have been awarded honourary OBE's 'for their outstanding contribution to British Football'.

    Both will receive the award next month.

    Enough fenian talk! ;)

    Fair play to the UK government for recognising the increasing overseas influence on the English game which, my frustration with Houllier
    notwithstanding, has been largely positive.

    Mike.

    Has Claudio Ranieri missed the boat or will he get one in another year or two?

    Don't forget Carragher and Heskey (does captaining England in a friendly count? - it's GH, of course it does;) ).
