We'll go out in the 1/4 finals.

Here is some info about Tromsø IL in English (link to the clubs homepages):

Takk for informasjonen men vi alle snakker Norsk her.

Jeg har vaert i Bodo en gang - deres "lokal derby" - ikke til fotball , jeg var pa vei til Lofoten. Et pent sted!

Ha det bra!

I'm inclined to agree.

I bet Dickov has a better season than Stead, and if not, I'll buy a Nike Stanley shirt and get 'Pringle' on the back.

Pringle 9 or Pringle 21?

I'd wait a bit anyway, Big Col should be calling me anytime soon to play for Blackpool.

One day Pringle...

One day.

In a bizarre sort of way Abrohimovich is really helping those teams just outside the top five and smaller prem clubs in london. They are able to attract the cast offs on loan or in transfers for next to nothing. There could be as many as ten or twelve ex blues knocking about, all of decent quality.

Birimngham and Villa look like they are going t have substantially improved teams thanks to the dodgy russian which is not good news for us.

Glen Johnson? Yes please....

..and the 17m we got for Duff has helped Rangers, Millwall, Huddersfield, Feyenoord, Parma, Stuttgart Kickers, and Villa. Looking at that list we do appear to have wasted Abramovich's money- with the exception of Huddersfield.

We spent the Duff money on....

Ferguson : IMO quality

Reid : We'll see

Enckleman would have been purchased anyway, 100k?? Ouch

So, please refresh memories before we get this conception of OH MY GOD, AMORUSO, EMERTON, GRESKO, FERGUSON, REID, LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY WE WASTED!!!!

It's rather annoying.

Currently listening to Best of the Doors....

Has anyone ever noticed the uncanny similarity in the 'Five to One' solo with that of the mighty Mike McCready's in Pearl Jam 'Alive.'

Anyhow there is no such word as GULLIBLE!!

If you don't believe me look it up in the dictionary.

Which dictionary did you consult? GULLIBLE is derived from the noun GULL. My dictionary, albeit from 1982 (Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary), defines GULLIBLE as "easily deceived (also gullable)"

Sorry PB an old joke.

Admittedly Not a very good one.

Mr PolarBeer, hang your had in shame.

Will someone explain this Manchester Leeds rivalry..

To me it's nothing more than the usualy moronic Leeds peoples hatred of anyone successful but themselves.

I'm just using what AESF said (I'm assuming that he didn't just make it up):

"Is there any club that you could never join?" asked the presenter of Soccer AM a year ago.

"Manchester United," was Smith's immediate reply back then.

Apologies.

AESF was probably the interviewer.

Perhaps, but Duff didn't leave for a bitter rival after saying that it was the one team in the world he would never play for.

Sorry I don't recall, just when did Smith say this?

Deary deary me.

Smith has gone up in my estimations by signing for Man Utd.

Football is a game, yes it means alot to us all, but like it or not, it's a game.

The moronic Leeds fans, who have branded Utd rivals for no reason, should grow up and wish him well.

If I played for Rovers, and we got relegated and Utd came in for me, I'd leave, yet would still love Rovers.

Who comes first, yourself or a money grabbing football club, run by people who always put themselves first.

HA HA HA HA

I have visions of Souness heading a big Dr Evil style table, with his finger slowly reaching towards Mr Gormans button...

''Sharks with frickin' lazer beams on their heads...''

Sorry I was going to reply but then I realised thread ISN'T afterall called SHOULD ENGLISH PEOPLE BE TAUGHT/BE FORCED TO SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE.

Eiher start a thread on that or talk about what we're supposed to because this is getting boring. 

Well said shillito.

So tell me, what do you think of the new Accy Stanley Nike kit? They must be making a fair bit out of that. I might get one.

I hear its JJB making the money outta this one... Accy making batch orders AND requesting prints on them.

If when presented with two or three options he always chooses the right one he'll still be at Rovers next season.

The match report in this mornings Daily Telegraph (not a paper to indulge in wild speculation) says Cole will be on his way to Man City with Fowler coming to us!

One or two things I've heard suggests Fowler may well be here next season...

Not sure about City though for Cole, I hope Cole stays, he oozes quality.

Pringle sucks.

Sat at his comp with his Nike Stanley shirt on.

He'll pay.

10th mediocre... well you best start to learn to be pleased 10th coz its the best your shambles of a club will ever do! your future is not looking good!

10th.

The players we've got mate didn't realise there was a 10th until this season.

our future is rosie as graham souness's face when he doesnt get his own way!! (by the way, does he ever stop whinging ffs) if you dont know about Birmingham City and how the club is run properrly, its fantastic support... our financial backing... yes 38 quid a ticket soon adds up.. Oh sorry just remembered, you all payed a fiver didnt you coz your all Poor! ######'a'duck!

Sorry dunno who Graham Souness is.

Also heres the difference...

You see 10th as SUCCESS?

We see 10th as MEDIOCRE.

Shillito, Rather have our future than your history... hope you made the most of 1995! Where did Blackburn finish anyhow? was about 16th wasnt it? pathetic! we havent been out the top 10 all season.. thats quality!

ciao bella

Your future?

Your future is probably rotting in our reserves as we speak mate.

Den, when you beat us 4-0, we played well in the 1st half, it was the last 25 minutes we just didnt play, and thanks to some quality goals (i'll admit, yes they was good goals) you beat us!!

While we're bringing up the past, what about when we played you in the FA Cup and you brought about 300 fans (think it was less than 300 actually) was only a fiver too... is money tight up north? perhaps spend less time on t'internet and get yourself a job!! might be able to afford to travel away then!

Birmingham.

Away.

FA Cup.

Round 3.

Birmingham.

Enduring.

Brummie.

Accent.

Enduring.

Brummies.

Birmingham.

The equasion never really was heading towards away travel was it.

Ah well, noise or no noise, still better than your few hundreds effort at St Andrews.

Was slightly bored at your place in the league..

And Jaybcfc, ...... Shut up, brag when your actually established.

We've been in Europe in 8 out of the last 11/12 seasons, only in your dreams mate.

A similar thread where we discussed speculation Cole might be leaving us, is below at:

http://www.brfcs.biz/mb/index.php?showtopic=8428

Was waiting for that...

Good spot Spaminator.

I have heard of biased and ridicilous, but some of these predictions are just that lol.

Likewise with Brums summer targets/general aims.
