Its been suggested that Tim Henman and David Beckham should train together.

Beckham can teach Henman how to hit the ball over the net and Henman can show Beckham how to actually hit the net!

I e-mailed NAC Breda and got this back...

At this moment no friendlies against English sides are planned. Please see http://www.nac.nl/voetbal/wedstrijdenvriendschappelijk.php?Seizoen_id=93 for the most actual fixtures.

When a new friendly is planned, this page will be updated.

Sorry I read it wrong

from L.E.T.

Three further friendlies arranged when they return home...

Stockport 28th

Preston 31st

Lisbon 2nd August

And then Souness hopes to play in Holland.

[QUOTE]Word of warning though, Revidge Blue has infiltrated a section of pensioners in the Jack walker stand. If De Pedro doesn't shine straight away he's gonna face a barrage of abuse from this lot. I wouldn't like to imagine the consequences of a Steven Carr style outburst on the Spanish new boy. We'll just have to make sure we make enough noise to drown out his chants of "you'll never beat John Curtis". [/QUOTE]

I'm surprised he hasn't started moaning that Souness hasnt mentioned Cole when asked about De Pedro...

''damn''

I like it

As in Amster-damn ?

I fancy somewhere just outside Amsterdam...

well at least his free kicks appear to curl round the wall instead of INTO it...

So where has the £1.5m we bid for Pedersen gone?

Yes it does matter whether he stays or not. He is a quality player.

But the fact of the matter is that you are complaining Souness did not talk about Cole when it is Dickov he has signed and subsequently interviewed about.

He was obviously asked about what he thought Dickov could bring to the club and he talked about him.

Who do you expect him to talk about?

Can imagine it now: -

Interviewer: 'So what can Paul Dickov bring to the side?'

GS: 'Never mind him, lets talk about Cole'

Definition....

Which site did you get them prices?

I do fancy going for at least the 1st game on the 17th. Maybe fly out the Friday (16th) and come back Sunday (18th) ?

Just had a look on web and found a flight for £62.98. This goes Friday, returns Sunday

Or,

I found one (on same site), going Friday, back Monday for £55.98

May even go for all the games...

p.s. that ground looks seriously familiar to Bray Wanderers ground in Eire.

If SSV Reutlingen are in it I presume we would play them on the 20th July... as it is in Reutlingen ?

Yessss!!

A museum.

from rovers.co.uk

ROVERS’ midfield duo Tugay and Jonathan Douglas are expected to reach a decision on their respective contract offers next week.

They have posted another bid... but it will take a few weeks due to the postal ballot.

I would have to check. Will know by morning

Where is the game to be played?
