Trading Standards on NW news with a lawyer say that those people with stolen tickets should sue both the FA and Millennium stadium for costs lost plus hassle costs.

What a prick he was! Spouting about the rules of his stadium!

Beeb suggesting that 7 players are very unwell with food poisoning leaving only 9 fit players including 2 keepers. I presume they mean 9 players selected in the matchday squad! Maybe 7 a side??

Cos their contract with the EPL allows them to show 88 games live. Sunday's 2 games brings the total to 88! So can't show any more live games this season. Why they showed west ham v west brom on Monday not sure? Maybe it's what was already agreed!

According to the Sunday Times Rich list Moro is one of the best paid players at the club on £70K a week (same as Harry)

Ashton has just done his hamstring! Alan Smith reckons 10 days minimum to weeks if a bad one. So looks like the lad could be in trouble for the FA Cup final although they have a few decent strikers.

Interesting to see what Rafa does with the keepers next season. We've got Reina, Dudek, then Carson (21), Martin (20 this year), Wilis (20), Roberts (19 this year) and Mimms (17).

According to the Daily post it was £4.5m but according to Bascombe the other week in The Echo the fee was reduced to £1.5m (not sure if it rises to £4.5m though).

That's exactly what Rafa said. Seen the pre-bolton press conference when he said it in response to a question of Juve chasing Stevie.

Especially as Rafa has told him to punch most of the time according to Pepe the other week on the off. site. By the way next season new lighter balls will be used that according to the Wigan keeper will make even normal catching difficult!

Dare I say it but he reminds me of a young giggs - very direct, quick with great close control.

Golazzo focused on the lad this week in the highlights. He scored a great header. Had a mazey run past 3 defenders but shot into the side netting and at the end was put through on the edge of the box but his chip was saved.

Saw the goal last night on 'revista la liga'. Top corner volley from edge of area across keeper into other side of goal. Apparently Ballague says a few clubs are monitoring him including several EPL clubs.

Just seen a snippet from todays Guardian which says:- Liverpool's search for investment will not see the London-based Spanish businessman Juan Villalonga buying into the club. The 52-year-old had offered to buy a £42m stake in the European champions but Liverpool were unconvinced as to the source of his funding and have turned their attention elsewhere. (sorry there was a link but after I copied it they've changed the articles around!)

Christ he's turned into Rupaul!!

Left me speechless last year when he was doing 'you're on skysports' by saying the kop wouldn't take to Rafa as he was poor tactician and played very defensive stuff when at Valencia!

According to Rafa (off. site interview) Bennett has looked at video replay's of Xabi's 2nd and still says it was a late tackle!

Pele was ok after surgury but it finished Frank Bruno's career!

Jesus the Bordueax coach must have lost the plot! I watched the entire recent Lyon -Bordueax match the other week and Bruno set up some great moves but his tackling was very poor. He gave away a couple of free kicks and ended up getting booked for bringing down a lyon player!

Oh yes..Escape to victory

Which pub in Chiswick mate?? I watched the toon and derby match in the pub backing onto the mainline station in Chiswick (while stopping at my bro's). It was alright in there but it was all reds fans watching then!

Gonzalez just scored an 84th winner for Sociedad on his debut - 2-1 win over Mallorca

Doesn't it consist of a few ex-championship mangers??

He started to berate Xabi on the last goal as he'd made a run and didn't get the ball..turned round and realised it was going in and started clapping!!

Confirmed on Off site. A rather surprisingly strong line up!!
