Spot on. Its a good job that Alan 75 isnt a HSV fan today - Bittberger have just provided their fans with 10,000 litres of free beer, to celebrate beating FC Bayern yesterday.

I limit myself to one game a season at the moment as im a student (and not the sort that has mummy and daddys financial backing either). Used to go to a lot of games before then, especially in the first division. Im the sort of supporter that surely the rovers should be doing more to entice, rather than worrying about kids for a quid.

Noooooooo I refuse to sit in kid a quid areas, why should i pay £20 for a ticket only to have my enjoyment spoilt by some little hosenscheisser who doesnt actually care about the game, just wants to get as much attention as possible? Whats worse is knowing that their identical seat cost them just a quid. I understand the marketing principles behind the scheme HOWEVER i also believe that the best way to get good support in that will lift the team is to have NO concession tickets available in the BBE, and allow people to 'get away' with much more in this area - e.g standing, drinking beer (god forbid), swearing - all typical traits of a football audience imo. This is the case in many European countries - and i have never experienced an atmosphere like watching Bayern at any ground in England, especially not Ewood, and the way to make the ground more attractive is not by filling it up with kids.

correct, captained England whilst playing for Scunthorpe Utd in the 80's, hes still a director or something there.

The SPL doesnt have a second division

we bought him didnt we?

Heres another one for you... Which player was England captain whilst playing 4th divisiion football?

Leslie Ferdinand. not that he was that bad...just we ended up with Chris Sutton instead

hmmmn. whats the pct mean? Percentage of ground full or percentage compared to last year (somehow) Cant work out why swansea have 118%

I wouldnt pay 50p to go to the Westfalenstadion The other thing worth noting is that the 8 quid tickets at Allianz Arena are a class above the cheap seats in the riverside, and the atmosphere is ten times as good.

2-0 Utd, both Rooney. Rovers player to get sent off - Savage.

Phillip- The FC Bayern price doesnt make a lot of difference - tickets for Allianz Arena are booked up for the season. at Kaiserslautern the price would be around £7.50 btw - for top flight football for an adult and child.

Rubbish. The asians won't support Rovers because the dickheads that have lived close by and given 'em racial abuse for the past 40 years do. Same round here, none of 'em will support Leeds - many choose teams like Leicester or Rovers where they have relartives.

Hows his departure affected DC United?

Remember meeting Sherearer, Flowers and Newell at Birch servioces when i was 13 or 14. Made my day. Think my father knows Super Atko as well for some reason. Outside of Rovers i used to bump into quite a few of the Leeds Utd and Newcastle Utd squads as they are often at clubnights run by friends/acquaintances. Also went to school (very briefly) with a certain Michael Owen.

Just heard an interview with Jon Douglas on Radio Leeds. He was described as their 'new hero'. I almost crashed.

He IS Englands best midfielder, with Lampard. You have to remember that England are probably, in terms of organisation, about the furthest you can get from FC Bayern right now. If your manager doesnt tell you what to do properly, especially as a sub, you are screwed.In Munchen if he puts a foot wrong, Beckenbauer or Matthaus will say something, and he won't do it again. It also cant help that the whole of England is on his back - everytime England play i say this, and i still feel the same way - you will win NOTHING whilst the tabloids are ripping you apart like this. He wasn't the player Sven should have been using last night, granted - the formation was all wrong, but blaming a guy that was on the pitch ten minutes, come on.

Germany beat South Afrika 4-2 last night with the youngster Podolski hitting a hat trick. Can't wait to see this boy transfer to Bayern, which WILL happen soon enough, we've been lacking a decent German striker for years. Hopefully he will be something to watch in the WM. Mokoena played the full game for the Africans, McCarthy came on in about the 30th and scored. Podolski and Schweinsteiger were immense, and it appears that our midfield is a class above even Englands, if Podolski keeps his game up we may be an outside bet next summer. Although we need to find a keeper, badly. Too many almost good enough German keepers atm. This weeks kicker features Olly Bierhoff discussing the pros and cons of Kahn and Lehmann, and I can't help but laugh at it all. Get Hildebrand in for the France match, the face of the future. Even Adler would do...

You clearly have never watched Bayern. The mans like Makelele. Just sven doesnt use him properly. Hargreaves would allow Gerrard and Lampard to play to their full attacking strengths in an England team minus Beckham. How everyone can blame a guy that played the last ten minutes is beyond me. Im sure if he played for MUFC the sun would be running a campaign to get him the captains armband. Oh, and let me just say, PMSL.

Graham Alexander, ex Scunthorpe Utd?

I didnt say a single death was deserved. However, after what the yanks have done in recent years, its nice to see an american city crippled. ask those in Baghdad. I don't think president Bush and cronies were sat rubbing their hands thinking 'lets kill all the poor black people'. However i do believe that they have not placed a single life above anything that has significant money making value. I don't think things would have been a great deal different if Gore was in charge. There would have been less homes to flood (as many close to the canal have been built recently, despite complaints from democrats), and i don't think the canal breach would have happened, and the aid would have come in slightly quicker..... if Nader was in charge, well, i'm not gonna bother wasting my time speculating. As for the looters, they are not scum. its human nature. But i notice you didnt see any of them robbing bars owned by private citizens who were armed with a shotgun protecting their livelihoods. My point isnt 'woohoo, walmart are really gonna feel that one', it was more that the companies themselves hadnt cared to prepare for it, like they actually believed it wasn't going to happen. I don't wish death on any American, just a diet and a lesson in globalisation. When i read a news report of a woman old enough to remember the second world war complaining because she had to spend a night in a refugee centre without a toothbrush however, i do wonder. Your comparison to Hitler is an interesting one. I am sure you are aware that Britain was almost on his side, and had it not been for the working class would have probably entered some sort of coalition with him. Makes you think.

1. If anywhere deserved it, it was America. Fact. You are the worlds biggest problem. 2. From the massive amount of 'small town' american press, your countries making themselves look even worse. Why are we reading all these stories about how rich white folk are demanding to be housed as refugees together, in certain areas, with certain people etc etc, whilst they don't even acknowledge half the poor people can't even get out the city? If you won't even help yourselves, why should you get help from elsewhere? 3. Dollar totals? Dont be so daft. Its americans that think in dollar totals. We are all hoping for a maximum devastation, minumum deaths. Its clear to see who is thinking in dollar totals when you look at what has and hasnt been destroyed in N.O - Note all government property seems to be fine, and the only tourist attractions showing any sort of strain are the Superdome and Convention Centre. 4. Human suffering? You think that doesnt happen elsewhere every single day? Shell have shot up half of Nigeria to get the fuel to your car. Nike exploit sweatshop workers worldwide - yet these companies are seen as trendsetters, world leaders, something to be admired, thanks to American freemarket ideals. Don't see any of you yanks whinging about that ever though. Nice to see the minute the sh*t hits the fan, Walmart and Foot Locker are raided instantly. At least there is a couple of people left in your country with their head screwed on. 5. Halliburton were given the contract for the cleanup (probably uncontested, but i havent found proof of that yet) way back in July. Alarm bells are ringing. 6. I geniunely believe, from what i have read, that there was NO INTENTION to save many of the poor in N.O. This is why it was several days before red cross etc was allowd in. Your governments shafted you, again. Nay mind, you'll still vote for the same party next time, because you 'always do'.

I saw Treacy play at GY, couldnt really tell much though, he wasn't on all that long and he looks like several of the other players when they are not wearing squad numbers.

How much did john scales move to Liverpool for? was he capped?

sie rather than ze
