<title>Top class...only a handful of caps!</title>
<link>http://www.sigames.com/the_bootroom.php?type=view&amp;article_id=1228</link>
<description><![CDATA[With the World Cup drawing near many young, bright international players will be making their World Cup debuts but....will they still be on the international scene in years to come?

So many talented players have come and gone over the years who have failed to make a positive influence on the International scene. Why is this? There are many factors that can interfere with a players career and maybe hinder their chances at picking up many more caps for their country. So....who are they?]]]></description>

<title>Its death Sven, but not as we know it…</title>
<link>http://www.sigames.com/the_bootroom.php?type=view&amp;article_id=1225</link>
<description><![CDATA[When Sven-Goran Eriksson announced he would be stepping down after the World Cup, the smell of excitement in the air was overwhelming. People danced on rooftops in anticipation of a new manager. Who would it be? When would they take over? Big names were rumoured: would Jose step up to the plate? Would Wenger? All in all, those weeks of blind naivety seem a long time ago, now we&#146;re left in some kind of unwanted, and unending waltz of gossip, something that none of us wanted. Frankly, what the hell has happened to the world&#133;?]]]></description>

<link>http://www.sigames.com/the_bootroom.php?type=view&amp;article_id=1201</link>
<description><![CDATA[There have been a number of clubs down the years to compete in England's top flight who through a combination of bad signings, bad player sales, bad book keeping and probably a bit of bad luck have fell shockingly from their dizzy heights. So... How can you prevent it happening to your club on FM2006?]]]></description>

<title>Bright Young Things</title>
<link>http://www.sigames.com/the_bootroom.php?type=view&amp;article_id=1200</link>
<description><![CDATA[&#145;Arsenal have completed the signing of the highly-anticipated 16 year old Theo Walcott from Southampton for a fee of &#163;5m, that may rise to &#163;12.5m&#146;. Is it me or is there something decidedly wrong with this transfer? With this in mind, The Bootroom decided to take a look at some of the most famous gambles on young players made over the past few years: The success stories of the youngsters who broke the mould and repaid the debt, forever establishing themselves in footballing folklore, and uncovering the forgotten horrors that the footballing world believed we would forget. Shocked faces at the ready as we divulge the answer to that most important of all questions; &#147;Did he really cost that much!?&#148;]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've been thinking, what if SI listened to all of the ideas and didn&#146;t filter out the bad ones. What sort of rant would we see from the moaners then.  Well, in an alternative reality, SI have done exactly that and you can call me Victor Meldrew.  My thread would of course be neatly titled &#146;50 reasons why FM is rubbish&#146;.  Which I will change when I realise I only have 12 reasons. Here&#146;s my &#145;open letter&#146; to SI&#133;]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With training overhauled and big improvements in the match engine, media and player interaction you would think I would have nothing to moan about.  Well, I&#146;ve got one word for you &#150; scouts.  Or, as I like to call them at my club, jobseekers.  I&#146;m going to make a prediction.  One of the biggest new features for FM2007 will be a new scouting module.  In fact I&#146;m not too ashamed to beg. Please, SI. Pretty please. With a cherry on top!]]]></description>
