1-1 now says we were caught on the left. Anyone watching is that our left or theirs. Just wondering if it meant Agathe was at fault.

Sounds like a cracker from the text commentary, Roberts knock down and Pedersen cracks one into the top corner.

According to the times the other day it said that informed sources in Italy had said the most likely outcome will be Juventus being demoted to Serie B and stripped of their last 2 titles, with the other 3 clubs receiving fines and points deductions.

I thought he was practically anonymous in this game!!!

Why feel sorry for Neill? I feel sorry for some Aussies but certainly not him. I never ever wish any of our players to do well for their country. Why would anyone want to encourage a situation like with Duff.

Judging by the begging emails they sent to non-renewers i'd expect they were well down on what they would want. Citeh are even further down though.

Err i'd read it again, Rangers are in round 1 and Gretna in Q2, they are seeded so have a fair chance of going through, so we could get them in round 1.

There are only 12 teams who can come through the Intertoto or Uefa Qualifiers who will have a higher rating, 5 from the Intertoto and 7 from the Uefa. Assuming all 12 get through it would require 11 of the 16 from the Champions League to be higher ranked. At least 4 will be but it would take some bizarre results to say the least for 7 seeded sides to lose. Even then we are assuming all the higher ranked teams will come through qualifying which is no certainty. p.s. draw is indeed the final friday, 25th August.

regardless of our past performances we will be seeded this year, there is no discussion it's quite clear.

Couldn't agree more LeChuck. Fair play to what he did for us and good luck for the future, shame some of the muppets who have slated him won't appreciate what he did for us.

We will be seeded. If you check last years draw 18.500 was more or less the cut off. We were seeded last time and nothing has changed since then so there is no doubt we will be a seeded team.

Sadly it always seems the case with the club that they take one step forward and two steps back. I actually expected an extension of the early bird offer for a few weeks to take advantage of the euphoria after the city game. By the time the club get their act together it will have all been forgotten.

Players refusing to play link Wonder if Sutton was up to his old tricks!

We don't play a qualifier we are straight into the first round, and we will be seeded.

Why?

Fully agree with Rover6 on this one. If people want passion on the touchline then we should hire a performing chimp. Some of the hysteria over this appointment is frankly embarassing.

City are nowhere near selling out. Mate of mine who has been most years was coming but out of the group of 8 that he was coming with they've all dropped out.

I'll back that up. Would love another trip to Bulgaria. Many a happy memory from that particular trip.

You truly are twisted in your obsession of all things Souness. Shearer, mongst others, confirmed the Bellamy story. I'm sure he had his reasons but Bellamy certainly let himself down on that score.

Today's game is huge for 6th place. Spurs win and it's almost ours, in fact I would suggest we will do it. Bolton win and it means we need to win our last 2. Bolton are playing Boro on Wednesday and god knows what team will be out as they are also playing on Monday. Finish off at home to the relegated big club, will they go out with a whimper? Come on Spurs.

Incidentally the massive club are not even close to selling out for the 2nd year in a row. What happened to the half a million that couldn't even get in back in the promotion days.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's about interpretation. Styles is trying to be a modern day Elleray. He actually motioned to Bellamy to stand up straight but there was clearly no need to book him. Sadly Styles is a pr1ck who referees not on respect but more in the style of a traffic warden.

Yeah tomorrow is a huge game, if Spurs do the business then we just need to beat the massive club.

I thought the yellow for diving was correct and also overdue. He has looked two yards off the pace never mind one, and if he trys to score from one more corner... Reid & Tugay & Savage are all playing great.

Scummy gets, even when you want them to win they don't.
