won't go home without you..

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of your breath, I'll never get over
The noises that you made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remaind unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

Ruud warning over Capello's defensive tactics


Ruud Gullit insists Fabio Capello, the favourite for the England manager's job, is a winner but warned fans he does not play 'for the beauty of the game'.

Capello is reported to be flying into London today for talks with the Football Association with a view to succeeding Steve McClaren as national team boss.
Los Angeles Galaxy manager Gullit, who played under Capello at AC Milan in the 1990s, is confident the 61-year-old Italian will be a success as England boss but does not expect it to be easy on the eye.
'He doesn't play for the beauty of the game but to win,' the Dutchman said.
'You don't see him laughing much - he's moody. But he knows what he wants. You have to go his way or you will get in trouble. He screams at you.
'You need to be well drilled to play for him - very disciplined - and you certainly don't fool around with him, that's for sure.'
Gullit insists the initial focus for Capello would be making sure England are watertight defensively.
'Italians are all about looking good, defending your reputation. When you've got that you become very hard to beat. If you become that clinical, you don't even have to play well to win - that's how come they have won so many championships.'
AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf, who played under Capello at Real Madrid when they won the Spanish league title in 1997, concurs with Gullit that the Italian is a no-nonsense boss.
'He's a tough guy, very straight. He's very dedicated. Of course it has been quite a while since I worked with him in Madrid, but I think he has much more experience now than 10 years ago,' Seedorf said.
'He was then already one of the best coaches I've ever had.'
Seedorf confirmed Capello had told him he was very interested in doing the England job.
'I was talking with him only two weeks ago about this possibility and I know he sees it as a very interesting challenge,' he told Radio Five Live.
'England has quality players but results haven't really shown everybody the potential of the team. (Capello) knows that and it's a challenge for him, to go where the results are lacking and make those great players a good team.'
Seedorf admits the biggest test for Capello will be making the transition from club management to the more hands-off role of an international coach.
'It's going to be a challenge for him also because he has always been able to communicate and train every day with the players, so it is going to be very different,' he said.
'One of his best qualities is getting the very best out of each player, even if he is not playing well. He is very specific in what he wants and very clear on what he wants from each player and sometimes he will push you to your limits.
'He has always asked 100% of the players once you are on the field. He is very straight, very clear with the players. He will work with those who are committed and professional players.
'He would rather have less quality but committed players than quality players who are not committed. He has been experienced (in working with) great players and still being able to get the best out of them.'

Giggs: No need for United to panic



The unexpected defeat at the Reebok Stadium, coupled with Arsenal's continuing good form, means United head into Monday's clash with Fulham five points adrift of the Gunners.
Although the season has not yet reached its midway point, Sir Alex Ferguson's men are aware there is no room for further failure - at least until December 16 when United square up to Liverpool at Anfield on the same day as Arsenal host Chelsea in what is already being billed as 'blockbuster Sunday'.
But Giggs revealed there has been no tension in the Red Devils camp, just a clear-headed analysis of what went wrong at Bolton - and the usual steely determination to put it right.
"Outside the club, a lot is made of it when we lose a game," he said.
"But inside there are no alarm bells.
"You have to be realistic - everyone is going to lose occasionally. One game is nothing. It is when you lose two or three on the bounce that you should really start worrying."
Although it is not totally unheard of for Fulham to win at Old Trafford - they last managed it in 2003 - United have triumphed in their last five meetings. With Wayne Rooney set to return, they are strong favourites to extend that sequence to six.
With no internationals to disrupt the fixture list until February and top spot in their Champions League group confirmed already, the Red Devils effectively have a two-month run in which to flex their title muscles.
It is a time of the year when United have traditionally been at their strongest - and Giggs, veteran of all previous nine championship triumphs under Ferguson, is hoping history repeats itself.
"This is a time of year when we have won a lot of games in the past," he recalls.
"The last international break was not too good for us - because we were brilliant against Blackburn before it and definitely were not against Bolton immediately afterwards.
"Like any team, if we are in good form, we want the games to come thick and fast.
"We hope we can get our form going into the Christmas period again, because there are four or five games within 10 or 11 days - with a lot of points to be won. We don't want to be dropping any."
Giggs is among a clutch of players expecting a recall after starting last Tuesday's win over Sporting Lisbon on the bench.
Carlos Tevez, Wes Brown and Owen Hargreaves are in the same situation - while Rooney has stepped up his training in recent days after recovering from an ankle injury, leaving Ferguson confident the England forward will end a three-match absence.
Apart from scoring 10 goals in 10 matches for club and country immediately before the freak training-ground injury which left him on crutches, Rooney has also gelled with Tevez.
For a creative player such as Giggs, having both men available is a major plus.
"Wayne and Carlos have struck up a really good partnership - so with Wayne coming back and Louis Saha fit again, the manager has a lot of options," said Giggs.
"It is great to have Wayne back. Before he got injured, he was on an excellent run of form. He is a quality player and he is always a threat.
"The key for us is to perform to our highest level; if teams come to Old Trafford and we are not at our best, it only encourages them.
"If we are playing at our best, playing at a high tempo, as Manchester United can, we will cause teams problems and get the games won. It is as simple as that."

Sir Bobby draws up England shortlist of five

Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson will recommend a list of five men for the national team job to the Football Association - and none of them are English.

Robson is among a group of senior figures in the domestic game who will be consulted by FA chief executive Brian Barwick over who should succeed Steve McClaren after the team's failure to qualify for Euro 2008.

He reveals a five-man list in his Mail On Sunday column, consisting of Aston Villa's Northern Irish boss Martin O'Neill, Russia's Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, Italian Fabio Capello and Frenchman Gerard Houllier, most recently at Lyon.

Writing in the Mail On Sunday, Robson said: 'Of the British managers, Martin O'Neill clearly stands out. He's bright, charismatic, experienced and a proven winner.

'Jose's advantage is he knows our football and he would be welcomed back with open arms.Tactically, there is nobody better - I still remember his dossiers at Porto and Barcelona when he worked with me! - and that's important for one-off international games.'

As for Hiddink, the man whose Russia team pipped England for a place in the Euro 2008 finals, Robson said: 'His track record in international football is the best of all the contenders.

'Whereas club managers would need time to adjust - however successful they have been - Guus knows this kind of football inside out.

On Capello, Robson said: 'After years in Spain and Italy, it would be interesting to see how he coped with the mentality of an English player.'

Houllier has extensive experience of the English game after a spell as manager of Liverpool and Robson added: 'His career has received a second wind after he left Liverpool. He won the French League twice with Lyon and I know players such as (Steven) Gerrard look up to him.'

Barwick and the FA's director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking are continuing their consultation process.

FA head of communications Adrian Bevington yesterday confirmed that no individual has yet been approached with a view to offering them the job.
