Ian H

He's not a midfielder. The only times he goes in his own half are when the teams are kicking off.

My nephew has a couple of his training tops. He also has an old trackie from Finnan that he says I can have. Doesn't quite have the same ring though...... I used to have a load of second hand kit/boots as my brother was an apprentice at Liverpool during the 80's.

Are you sure he's not trying to get a better look so he can join in the smiling?

I thought Toure played well tonight. Not sure if Alonso would be able to do all of the defensive work that Xavi and Iniesta don't do.

It wasn't Tyldesley, it was that Drury bloke wasn't it (I don't think Tyldesley cares much for Chelsea)? Drury doesn't know a great deal about football, which you'd think was a hindrance considering his job. Could we have Xavi and Iniesta please? Those 2 playing with Gerrard and Torres would scare the fucking skin off defenders.

Yep, as witnessed in the last international when Spain pissed all over England. If Barca turn up tonight I don't think Chelsea have enough in reply. Essian (sp?) can only mark so many players on his own....

Admittedly only heard a bit of the 'Drive' program but the presenters were fairly clamouring up Ferguson's arse. Also caught about 5 mins of the 7pm show (whatever that bit is called) and the Marcotti (sp??) bloke at least tried to explain away Rafa's reaction. David Pleat talked himself into a knot (obviously not wanting to upset Ferguson), but the presenter* was trying his utmost to portray Ferguson in the best light. * By the way, why, within the squillions of employees they have at the BBC, can't they find one presenter who has the first idea about football?

Was this bit written by Ferguson himself? There have been a lot of posts mentioning how journalists should report this. Based on what I've been hearing (admittedly only on Five Live this evening) and reading so far this is the standard. If we think these spineless fuckers are going to go after Ferguson following these latest comments then we may be kidding ourselves. The BBC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to interview Lawrie Sanchez (you know, the re-knowned Liverpool admirer). I'll leave it to you to decide which side he took......

Can't remember whether he played a bigger part in the overall film (in fact I'm not even sure if it was a film...), but the vampire kiddie who is scratching the bedroom window in Salems Lot fairly scared the life out of me when I first watched it.

If anyone works out how the fuck Riise became a professional footballer could they let me know, as I think I'll have a pop at it.

http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/premierleaguehighlights These aren't great but show some of the best bits.

I read a while back (can't remember where) that when Riise signed, he had his salary pegged to the highest earners at the club. Still can't believe he's on this much though. If he is, then football should just stop now, as it's obviously gotten far too silly to be taken seriously anymore.

There's nothing like posting indiscriminately on a football forum to keep things under wraps, is there?

Is that a lightsaber he's holding by his tail?

I have the same problem with a spider by the bin in my garden. There is a fine line to getting rid of the webs though, as I sometimes look like Helen Keller visiting a mate's house for the first time when putting out the rubbish.

That was a great goal. Mind, he had time for a fucking cup of tea before he hit it. I've never seen a visiting team given so much fucking space! This has been truly awful, and it looks to me like the players have no confidence at all.

This is the Brazil 1970 team we're playing against, right?

Does this fucking idiot in the middle realise it's Reading in blue and not Chelsea?

Channel 6 on the Sopcast stream (on the livefooty site) is now working, although the (my) resolution is a bit shit so not sure who's got the ball at any one time!

Moved from Tiscali to TalkTalk about a year ago for the 'free' broadband offer. I don't use the internet much from home so wasn't too worried about what I was getting in terms of functionality and service. Had a bit of trouble with the transfer and the service was down for a few weeks, but most of this was down to Tiscali arsing about and not releasing the line. Shortly after being connected they (TalkTalk) switched my line to LLU and I lost my landline service for about a week (they refunded a months line rental which was fair enough though). I'm getting a shitty connection speed since the changeover - averaging about 960k - but as I say I'm not too bothered as I don't use it much. Bloke next door worked for BT and reckoned we are pretty far away from the exchange, and said not to expect much more. I've only ever had to call them a couple of times and the response wasn't too bad (one occasion some gobshite at their place had reset all user passwords), but again I don't expect too much as I don't pay for the service. Hope this helps....

Can't remember how young I was, but had the 1970 Brazil kit bought for me (proper cotton shirt/shorts). Ignored my mums advice and put the shorts on one of those 5-bar fires to dry, which promptly burnt a big fugging hole in them. It'll live with me to the day I die.

Bloody hell, we've signed Chesney Hawkes!

Saw a clip of the new film, and there's a bit where Marge walks into the room and finds pig footprints all over the ceiling and walls. Then Homer walks past holding the pig up to the ceiling and singing 'Spiderpig, Spiderpig, does whatever a (pause) Spiderpig does'. I guess you have to see it really........

The bit in Salems Lot when the kiddy vampire is hovering outside the window, scratching on it. I was quite young when I watched it and, mixed with my over-active imagination, it put the absolute shitters up me.

While on holiday. At first I thought it was the wife who had got her dates wrong for rag week, then quickly realised the pool of blood was mine. I thought I was going to die. Happened twice after as well.
