Tune: Hello Goodbye by The Beatles (the bit at the end where there's a chant of "Hey-a Hey Hello-a" Reina, Pepe Reina Reina, Pepe Reina (repeat forever) We got this going on the way out on Saturday, and it sounded pretty good!!

The "Momo Is Boss" flag is deffo the best one!!

Ra-Ra-Ra-Rafa Benitez Ra-Ra-Ra-Rafa Benitez Xabi Alonso Fernando and Reina And on the subject of songs... heard this for Reina - nice and simple, but sounded pretty good: Tune: Hello Goodbye by The Beatles (the end bit when there's the chanting thing saying "Hela, Hey Hello-a" or something) Reina, Pepe Reina Reina, Pepe Reina Reina, Pepe Reina (repeat forever)

There was a wonderful moment as we were walking down the street towards the station, with pubs on both sides. There was loads of hammers outside the pubs, and as we walked down they were all clapping us on our way and shaking our hands and congratulating us.... brilliantly surreal! As on of the lads said... "if we'd have lost like that I'd want to be throwing bottles"

My mate went up for it as he's a Geordie. I think Newcastle did a great job of sending him off... lots of great touches, and it's always good to see a dodgy pen so he gets to score. It pisses me off when it's all taken too seriously.

Come on Boro...

I recieved the following letter today from Peter Varney, Chief Executive of Charlton Athletic: So why is it that Roeder is allowed to manage a Premier League club, but I am not? Once again the FA change their own rules for one, but not for everyone!!

The FA has a complaints procedure, and this is linked with the customer charter they produce annually. This charter records the number of complaints recieved around different issues, and also reviews any big issues that came about. With this in mind I'm hoping to be a pain in the ass, keep on nagging until I get some attempt at an answer, and perhaps get it highlighted in the charter for the future. Anyway... here's what I sent: Re: Refusal to issue duplicate tickets to innocent fans who have had their FA Cup Final tickets stolen. This complaint is regarding the fact that 1,600 Liverpool fans who qualifed for, and were being sent an FA Cup Final ticket will not be getting a ticket due to the refusal to issue duplicate tickets. This is due to them being stolen from the Royal Mail - a matter out of the hands of these fans. A someone who travels home and away to watch my beloved team, spending thousands of pounds, traveling hundreds of miles, and making numerous sacrifices for the sake of "The Beautiful Game", I have a number of questions regarding the above situation that I feel need to be answered. Please note that I actually have my ticket, and am one of the lucky ones. 1) Why aren't duplicate tickets being issued considering the details of the tickets that have been stolen are available. 2) What is The FA's position regarding The Millennium Stadium's refusal to issue duplicate tickets? 3) Assuming The FA disagrees with The Millennium Stadium and their own policies, what sanctions are The FA to take against them, considering the FA is supposed to represent the fans? 3) What has changed since previous finals where duplicate tickets were issued? 4) How does The FA feel this situation fits in with the commitments outlined in the Customer Charter? 5) What would the policy have been had the tickets that were stolen have been intended for "The Football Family"? 6) What would the policy have been had the tickets that were stolen have been intended for FA Sponsors? 7) Does the FA feel it has achieved its key aims from the 2003-2004 Customer Charter, which included "Improved Customer Service support"? 8) Would you please arrange for a copy of the 2005-2006 Customer Charter to be sent to my address, as detailed below, so as I can review the findings of The FA regarding this situation, as per the guidelines The FA sets out around accountability. I look forward to hearing from you with answers to all of the above questions, within the timescales given in the Customer Charter.

Of course mate.... and she wasn't the only one to dress up!! Who knows how many there are with an outfit gathering dust... it's not like there's been any need for it recently is it?

Any clues as to where to find it... not been able to find anything!

My Auntie Bridget (RIP) use to dress up as the toffee lady for Everton's parades. She'd be on County Road throwing sweets out to the kids. She was one of the most incredible women I've ever known, and every who ever knew her would agree. It's only my Auntie Bridget, Aunt Chris and Uncle John have died that I've been able to hate Everton... as my Aunt Chris once said to me "How can I hate Liverpool fans when I love you so much?" Everton are there for us to take the mickey, laughed at, wind up, and have a good bit of banter about - that's what it's about!

Quedrue's a good little player, but with that Brazilian fella joining (I've completely forgotten his name - Aurello??), plis already having Riise, Warnock and Traore, then there's no need for any more left backs! The only player I'd want from Boro is Riggott as a long term replacement for Sami!

I'm with you on that one mate. My dream match (not involving Liverpool) is to be in La Bombenera for a Boca Juniors v River Plate match. Incredible. I remmeber a Red who was based in Buenos Aries doing an article about that rivalry, which was an incredible read. I'll see if I can find it anywhere!

Great news....

I can't see Bobby Charlton inviting him round his house

Viva Espana!

Monday 1st May 08.00am Wayne spends 45 minutes looking for his other sock. Luckily for Wayne, Sven Goran Eriksson, England, The Great British Public, and every football fan in the world, Coleen wakes up and advise Wayne that he's actually got his foot in a cast, and there is no matching sock. Monday 1st May 08.45am Wayne hobbles to the toilet for some "relaxation", with it waking a full 3 seconds less than the same trip yesterday. A collective sigh of relief is heard (and not from Wayne yet) as it shows he's well on his way to a full recovery with the procress he's making. Monday 1st May 08.49am Wayne suffers a set-back as he realises he's left a copy of "Reader's Wife's Grannies" behind, forcing him to put more pressure on his metatarsal as he clambers up the stairs to his 'collection'. Upon his return with the aforementioned magazine, a number of sighs are heard from the Rooney bathroom. Monday 1st May 10.30am A photographer from Hello magazine appears to take exclusive pictures of the metatarsal. Following on from the exclusive pictures from the last World Cup, the photographer notes that Wayne's legs are a lot hairier than David Beckham's were, and recommmends David's of personal waxing assistant. Unfortunately for Wayne the waxer is currently with Frank Lampard and his chest, who's preparing for a photoshoot with the Spanish sister magazine "Ola". This results in a delay in the photos. Monday 1st May 14.30pm Having now got his exclusive photos of his foot taken for Hello, Wayne sets off to his specialist for an update. Unfortunately the delay caused by Frank having pre-booked the waxer means that Wayne was unable to have time to get his X-rays done. Using every inch of his initiative Wayne takes along a black and white version of the Hello pictures for the specialist, as he's already had one of "them camera things do the photees like". Keep listening for more minute by minute and steo by hobble updates on Wayne's foot... Wayne... your county needs you!

Now now... you'll be bringing shame all Liverpool fans with comments like that.... laughing at opposition players being injured is only one step up from kiddie fiddling and murder you know!! I would just like to say, on behalf of all "True Reds" that I hope he makes a speedy recovery and is fit to play in tomorrow's match, as I wouldn't wish injury or harm on anyone... especially someone from our Lancashire cousins
