One up at 1/2 time, look good going forward esp Lennon. Owen looking sharp too, hit the bar before Jenas scored and Crouch had one disallowed for offside(rightly).

Warsteiner glasses should have a govt health warning on them, there's summat LSD about that beer.

Other than to say that we have sold more already so far than the same time last year.

Eddie was right and I am wrong.

I like Dickov. But we have outgrown him. Thanks Paul, you played like your life was at stake, and at least you cared.

You misunderstand me Eddie, I mean Thierry would not be motivated to go back to Italy after his original foray there. As I said before nearly any team in the world would take him on. Except Barca if I was boss.

For whatever reasons,he was not a roaring success though, and unlikely to go back to Italy due to this. And I never said Barca were not interested, I said If I was the Barca boss. See above.

None of us know either way. I haven't heard or seen an official bid from Barca or a comment directly from Laporte or Rijkaard. "Barca were desperate to sign him" Yea, so were every club in world football!

How do you know this?

He probably meant that his uncle was savage.

Nobody put a bid in for him, and if I was Barca boss I would stick to the winning line up of Messi and Eto'o, with Goofy behind. Real Madrid would have had him, but would he go there? Tried it in Italy, failed. That leaves Germany, Holland, Scotland or back to France for a holiday. So it looks like staying in London with his English wife and probably a rather tasty pay rise and a brand new spanking ground to play in. Never in doubt.

Yon mon should stick to boxing.

So...what was the official MOTD telly Goal Of the Season?

'Scuse me but can we please keep this thread off topic?

For a moment, I thought about posting a link to a Basque site, but the joke being it would be for the womens underwear basque and I would make a comment along the lines of one for Roversmum or Abbey or something but I couldn't be arsed in the end.

Someone Should Get Out More... Then again, You'd probably get mugged by a non deported asylum seeker. Two threads for the price of one, probably the best value for money post today.

Is there any way of getting some quotes up on here at all?

Pentax istD 12, its a digital SLR.

Gerrards injury time equaliser is now a contender.

Should get BRFC to let the away fans take this around in Europe

Here are a couple of mine Dillo Dillo Sunderland Away And at Everton

How many hours till the fixtures come out?

Deffo Preston as I remember thinking we could end up in the River Ribble crashing off the bridge here. Didn't bother with the compo claim back then, some lads got around 2 grand I beleive. If it happened again today you can bet I would be claiming now, for around 2 million.

I was on the football special train coming back from Carlisle in the 80s after an away game at Brunton Park that had a brake failure steaming into Preston railway station and ended up smashing into another train. Still the closest I have come to dying (to my knowledge!) so far, and wondered if any other members had also been on that train, and would like to share their memories of the event and day. Can't find anything about it on the internet. It did happen didn't it?? I only suffered damaged ribs, smashed teeth and concussion, but I remember seeing Paul Astley go flying through a glass window and ending up looking like Terry Butcher !

That would be worth watching. Sadly Gilligans skipper is dead.
