Thats a bit much Warren - They've got an outstanding midfield now, excellent keeper, just look short upfront. If they get a good quality striker who stays injury free they should be comfortably top 8.

I'm sure I've read this article before - but it says todays date.

Jay did have a very good game - but you have to remember Becks struggles to get past most full-backs. I've not quite given up on Jay - but he hasnt progressed as well as I thought.

Hence all the crap you come out with?

'We've got a great manager here, a great chairman, that's why I've come ... to play football, and win things as well.' LMFAO "win things" - At least the lads not lost his sense of humour!

--> QUOTE(Ste B @ Jul 18 2006, 16:47 ) 426702[/snapback] As usual no drinks will be able to be consumed in view of the pitch and this will be strictly controlled by the stewards. Why can't we have it like in Germany? It was fantastic watching England with a Pint in hand at my seat

I've seen tickets for England V Trinidad (twice) and England V Sweden (once) since they've been doing the re-sale tickets. Unfortunately, as soon as you click them someone has already taken them. There has been tickets for Brazil, France and Spain too.

Met Jon Douglas in a club in Preston one Wednesday night just after we'd appointed Hughes. He was very happy we'd gone for Hughes and was really down to earth. He wouldn't tell anyone that he was a footballer, and just wanted to have a normal night out.

According to the Daily Mirror "England Ashes hero and Newcastle United fan Steve Harmison has been awarded a seat for life at St James' Park" Surely we should be rewarding our cricket heroes not punishing them

In fairness a 20 second scan of the topics would've been sufficient

I've just registered. I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing. Anyone got any tips? Hattrick seems much simpler- but I think the extra detail in this might be better once I get my head round it.

Interesting quote about half way down the article. It's a shame Matts good friend from Steps doesn't have the same faith that Hughes does http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/4240432.stm

Not that I'm bitter but its "no crib for a BED" Anyway- well done- much deserved win. Sven has to go NOW. They've looked poor for awhile now- so it isn't a knee jerk reaction. The decision to bring Hargreaves on for the last 10 minutes summed it up nicely. Baffling. Gerrard has been rubbish for England for awhile too - but I blame the role he's playing. Possibly a stupid idea- but I'd love to see Psycho in the job. Commands instant respect from the players, and they'd certainly be motivated. Maybe have him as assistant under Big Sam or Curbs for the time being.

pg - I sent that woman a private message - and this is what she replied with: "Yes, very "unlucky". It's bad enough that the HT game engine injures and redcards the top players in a match to ensure that supporters win, but when he gloats about it, that's really low. By the way, where did that slimebag post my private message anyway?"

Sutton definitely got one cap.

Looked on physioroom.com and that had him out till the 24th of Sept. Cheers Percy.

Sorry to be a pain again- but has anyone got the telegraph fantasy football password for this week? Couldn't find it on google. Bloody John Terry getting injured

Cheers Bob. I've got 6 Chelsea players, 1 Liverpool, 1 Arsenal, 1 United and 2 Rovers. Built my team on good defence and cheapish attack.

Speaking of fantasy football- does anyone know the transfer code for the Daily Telegraph game for this week? I need to replace Gary Neville in my mighty side. A very respectable 1013th place out of over 260,000 teams

They'll be up for it- but we should really be looking to win games like West Ham. They finished 6th in Division One- and we've got to look at it as a good opportunity for 3 points. On the other hand- West Ham will be looking at it as a game they should win- so should be interesting.

That should be "I made a spelling mistake"

Maybe it is- I just knew there was a number he liked being- and it isn't 9. So maybe Kuqi will be the new number 9. I'd like it to be given to Jansen. EDIT: He is 77 at Porto, but was 17 at Ajax and I think thats his preffered number. Think he chose 77 at Porto, because 17 wasn't available.

Does Benni not like the number 17 shirt? (I know he has a lucky number- not sure which one though)

Arsenal (A) West Ham (H) Bolton (A) Man Utd (H) Fulham (H) ROVERS (A) Wouldn't it be funny if Rovers away was Souness' last game in charge . It's quite a tough start- and Newcastle like to sack Managers early.

Happy with the fixtures. What is slightly disappointing is- Our opening fixture could've been a trip to Deepdale. That would've been fantastic.
