Two times League Champion and twice FA Cup winner with Liverpool and now Jamaica manager, John Barnes certainly proved himself on the football pitch (and dancefloor following his adventures doing the Samba, Jive and Waltz in Strictly Come Dancing).

But now he faces his toughest challenge, competing against fellow Liverpool legend Alan Hansen and many other celebrity pundits. He's not worried though, he's got enough knowledge and opinion to more than get by on. And just to prove it...

A World Cup Winning manager Scolari decides to join Chelsea after snubbing England - he says he wants to play 'beautiful football" but he know he has an owner who wants to win everything. How do you think he will fare? Does he need new players? Will he win anything with Chelsea? Who does he need to sign?

Chelsea have a big enough squad and a manager who will not be undermined by players, like Avram Grant was, to challenge on all fronts.

After Euro 2008 do you think foreign ref's command more respect than their British counterparts?

Only because of the scrutiny British refs are under in the Premier league by the TV, media and fans

It sounds strange to even say Hull and Stoke and the Premier League in the same sentence - are they destined to come straight back down next season?

Reading didn't straight away ... If they have the right togetherness, belief, determination and organisation, anyone can survive!

There've been lots of toings and froings in the transfer markets so who will you be looking out for this season - who are the wonderkids to watch and the foreign imports to idolise?

All the best players are already here so it will be the same as last season, but Deco will be interesting to watch.

There's been lots of talk about quotes and putting a cap on the number of foreign players to encourage home grown talent - what are your views on this?

I think there should be a cap on foreign players in "all" European countries. It 100% will benefit the national teams.

We had three teams in the semi finals of the Champions League and an English team won it - which two teams do you see most likely to be challenging for european honours again this season and why?

The same teams as before, because they are the best teams in Europe.

Should parents be banned from watching youth soccer? What do you think is the solution to loud and abusive siblings and relations on the sidelines for players at this young age?

It has "always" been that way, not just in recent years. We need proper behaviour in society and parents accepting responsibility for being their children's number 1 role model, not footballers, actors or celebrities.
