I might well have misread the section on sponsorship, but it reads to me that Thwaites supply Blackpool and Burnley with beer. On the other hand, wouldn't it be ironic if Burnley could not get a firm from their town to sponsor them?

It was in the LET yesterday. Thoroughbred is quite a nice bitter which I have drunk in a bottle form.A friend in London has drunk it in London as a draft bitter.

That is very unusual for Wenger.

Agreed. 2003/4 was also the year when Andrew Cole made a lot of chances for Stead, especially.

Yeah, I think he got the year wrong!

I wonder if his decision is influenced by what has happened to Viera, who many people thought was an immense player at Arsenal and who has had problems settling down at his new club. Hughes has hinted that players who leave the Rovers don't always get the success they hope for-a message I hope will go out to our better players.

He's now been in touch from his holidays to say he is going to stay.

Didn't Viera also fail in Italy?

Unfortunately your quote is not included above-but yoy might have to update it as 2 of the players have now left. I wonder if the other 2 will leave.

The LET were suggesting Dickov was not keen on the cotract offered, which seemed to have been linked to certain criteria in the 2nd year(Goals,games played?)

On another topic i notices we have a menber called Vizcaya, which might well be Basque for Basque.

On teletext now the ref is being quoted as saying that he blew too quickly, that he should have allowed the goal and yellow carded the keeper.

I saw an interview with one of the Directors in a newspaper on Friday. It was either the Daily Telegraph or the Independent. The Director-maybe Sullivan did not dish the article, but rather said that the club should take on a number of the criticisms and act on them in the future.

Burnley are now playing Accrington Stanley on July 8th. We are playing Hamburg on July 22nd and Greek champions Olympiakos on July 28th-also in Germany. On August 12th we are at home to New Zealand. There are more fixtures to fix.(LET).

The LET asked for volunteers to take over the column.

I'm sure she did-I heard it too.

It'll be a tough task. Please let us know how you get on.

I think there is a slightly different context-around the time Souness was quoting from his little red book, Ipswich had come a real cropper because of European matches, whereas now English clubs have done very well in EUFA and the Champion's League.

According to the LET, Hughes is hoping that Nelsen will be back tomorrow.

People seem to think he only performs at home-and don't let him take penalties.Probably about as popular as Pedersen.

My very good friend who is a Bolton fan said the dodgy decisions were not quite as clear cut as 5 Live made out.

That is great for us, but I do feel somewhat sorry about the dodgy decisions.

5 Live are saying Terry will not play again this season.

Would that have been an own goal if he had scored?

I think on paper we should be able to get a draw, but I would like a win. I'm not keen on having to win the last match.
