Thanks to Blairs policy of 'education, education, education' we are starting to see a real impact in the level of English like performances from the Premiership's foreign imports. They take the English methods to heart and as a result run ragged over their racist, uncouth Spanish counterparts. I declare today National England day. A proud day for all Englishman across the globe and a good day to be English.

Was wondering about our attendance before we became successful under Shanks. Anywhere reliable I could find out about how many would regularly go to Anfield before we really took off? Am having a tiresome argument woth a Chelsea fan who reckons they are in the all time top average 5 attendances which gives them grounds as a 'big club' despite Roman's money. The desperate validation-seeking mockney vvanker. He reckons Liverpool were as well supported as West Ham, though I suspect on past record he's just making up stats.

I don't think you have to be the big bad wolf to say with reasonable fairness that Harry needs to improve his end product before he deserves ALL the praise he's been getting. On another note, can't believe Carbone was in the Valencia squad the other night. What is he now? 41?

LOL! There isn't a unit of time atomically tiny enough to describe how small time you clearly are.

:D Jesus wept what a stupid moron efcmagic is. I mean that sincerely and not offensively. He's clearly stupid by any standards and by extension it is reasonhable to say he's a moron.

Thats it lads, get it all out.... Yeah we were s*** tonight, whatchyagonnado. It's a two legger and we picked quite an attacking team. Luis and Harry were muck tonight and though Hamann did nothing wrong, Sissoko was doing well. Sami will be embarrassed about the goal and our critics will (with some justification) point out the desperate service the front two got (we have to play it to Fowler's feet or hit Morientes in an area he can lay it off to him). But we'll still win the second leg and go through. And if we don't, THEN let's have a right old fashioned blood letting.

Yeah thanks Sean. We got sorted at the weekend. Most of the boys are going through Stansted with Ryanair. I have alternative arrangements but it's all good.

Wasn't Smith supposed to have said one time that "I'd rather break my leg than join Manchester United"?

Even though he's West 'Am, whenever I think of Cobs I think of

They'll not be dazzled by the aura Chelsea have acquired in this League and they won't be scared to annoy their mates by beating them, as seems to be the case with some of Chelsea's opponents....

Barca will show them up. You heard it here first.

I absolutely 100% agree Think the canonisation of Kewell recently has been as overboard as the criticism of him was last year. He still needs to improve end product and whats more have defenders scared of challenging him for fear of him leaving them.

Really? Might have to dust off my old subscription. I was hoping Dave or someone would say that YNWA are currently planning a WAP version but that's the next best news.

Find myself using my mobile phone more and more for email and stuff. Any of the decent football (or sport) have GPRS or WAP versions? I could use the diversion occasionally.

Think there's a fair chance Shay Given will go to Barcelona in the Summer. Would solve a problem for them. Yer man was comical last night..

Sean, the DFB will continue to rotate games after the WC. Looking at it logically, the game is 2 weeks before Oktoberfest begins. This may or may not be a factor but my guess is that they will have it somewhere up North - as they will probably play in Munich/Leipzig/Stuttgart versus the Czechies and Slovies. Logistical/Geographic reasons even though the largest Irish contingent is in Munich. If I had to say, I would pick Dortmund or Gelsenkirchen. It's a Saturday game, they know they'll fill it. It's pot luck so I would hold off until you get more news. If you come across dirt cheap flights with Air Berlin, German Wings, Ryanair etc book it, otherwise you're already talking big bucks. The good news is that Aer Lingus are now gone Ryanair. I will quote someone else about his efforts with AL yesterday after he heard the draw: As soon as the fixtures were announced yesterday I went in and tried to book a flight to Munich,all all flights to Munich were ?219 from Thursday to Saturday and a total of ?495. So I tried every other German city,Berlin,Frankfurt and Dusseldorf and all return flights to these cities were either ?475 or ?495 return travelling from Thursday to Sunday.There not stupid Aer Lingus, as the venue hadn't been announced they decided to cover themselves and put the price up to all German cities.What I couldn't believe was the speed in which the prices changed on their website. They probably sent a guy to Frankfurt to dial in to their mainframe and change the prices as soon as the fixtures were announced.

He did well for a guy playing out of position. 'Decent' is most definitely relative.

Thought it was hilarious. The African Roy Keane. Good on the Egyptian FA, that's what I say.

The Tottenham forward was furious at being taken off late in the second half, and in front of 74,000 fans made his feelings known in no uncertain terms to Shehata. The 22-year-old was also ordered out of Egypt's training camp. Mido's suspension - which rules him out of Friday's final against Ivory Coast - was announced by Samir Zaher, president of the Egypt football federation, after a meeting of the federation's officials on Wednesday. Mido lost his cool when Shehata decided to replace him by Amr Zaki with 11 minutes remaining and the match tied at 1-1. The Tottenham striker who had hailed himself as the 'big man' for this tournament stared in disbelief at Shehata and held his hands out in astonishment. He then ambled off the field in a state of disbelief as Zaki waited to go on. Mido approached Shehata as cries of "out! out!" rang around the stadium. "Why are you taking me off?" asked a furious Mido. "Because I am the coach," replied Shehata. "You are nothing but a donkey!" stormed Mido. "No it is you who is the donkey," replied Shehata. Mido was then pulled away by his veteran teammate Hossam Hassan. A minute later Shehata's moment of triumph came as Zaki headed home the decisive goal. Mido also received little succour from his team-mates as having had to be pushed by one of the staff members to go and join in the celebrations after the goal Zaki pushed him away - instead he and the rest of the squad ran and embraced Shehata. Mido had already angered his team-mates by refusing to share a room with one of them - as is the norm at major tournaments - and insisted on having one with his wife. pgf/nr06 AFP 081121 GMT FEB 06

Could do a job for us RM. More than a job infact as he'll probably be quite a player in WC06 Strong and effective from what I've see, and what with Adidas taking over, he might just fit in a little better than first appears. How much?

Oh FFS....

They have a pitch like an unwiped ar5e. Somehow, it fits right in with the whole 'project'.
