Soccer / Football Young potential star Nicholas Condylis, moved from Australia to play for Panathinaikos club in Greece two years ago at age 15. He was recorded a 17.1 in the beep test, which puts him up there with the international standard. (St George News, Feb 08) The Indian Soccer squad has an average beep test score of 11.7, with Steven Dias as the best. The article reported that the world standard for soccer players is is 13.09, (as reported by the Hindustan Times online, July 2007) Australian Brett Emerton, playing in the English Premier League for Blackburn Rovers, scored a level 15 a the beep test just before the World Cup (Vitalfootball.co.uk, June 2007) Casey Stoney, the Charlton women's football team captain, who is also an instructor in a gym, reached level 13. The rest of the English World Cup squad dropped out between eight and 12 (Timesonline.com, June 2007) An article in the Independent.ie reported that Dublin player Wes Hoolahan has beaten the test twice (May 07). David Beckham has reputedly completed the test, which seems like a bit of hype. Another source I found said he has reached level 16, which seems more believable. Australian player Nick Carle reached level 13.1 (March 07) Brazilian import for the Melbourne Victory team, Fred, is the fittest player in the squad, recording a level of 16 when he did the beep test (Jan 07). English Premier League player Lee Gong Dook was reported to have reached level 17 (Jan 07). from: http://www.topendsports.com/testing/beep-scores.htm Not sure exactly how accurate it is.

He who laughs last... He hasn't had the last laugh yet.. there's still plenty of time for the hyper dwarf to f*** it up At least he knows which division his team will be playing in next season.

He who laughs last...

Penna's!!

Wenger. But it's very close.

No, I think the draw is always the friday after the second leg. Week on Friday. Cool. Thought so, but wasn't sure if they drew 2 rounds in one go like they do for the UEFA Cup. They will do for the QF draw, semis will be drawn aswell next Friday Gotcha.

I can see that Milan team being ripped apart this summer and Ancelotti getting the bullet. Mourinho for Milan?

Has the draw been made for the QF's?

Arsenal deserve this like. Shutting Milan out and going to the San Siro and winning is superb. Hats off.

Not much pressure on the lad then?

Arsenal should be in front but I've got the feeling Milan might just make them pay. Hope not like.

Does that answer your question NE5?

Dont associate us all with the tic though SSN have been there all day and it's been wall-to-wall Irish tricolors. It's just confusing.

Started watching Barca vs Ireland but the interest ended pretty swiftly... Got AC on now.

Celtic one down already. Sylvinho. Was it fuck, it was Xavi.

Yes.

Got to say I fully expected them to rescind it. They shouldn't have but I knew they would. Spineless, the lot of them.

Oi! Mouth!

Aye & Mark Hughes at Barca Paul Rideout at Pisa Gordon Cowans at Pisa Didn't know those 2 went there too.

On the flip side of it... anyone remember: Steve Archibald at Barca David Platt at Bari Luther Blissett at AC Milan Alan MacInally at Bayern Tony Cascarino at Marseille Paul Elliott at Pisa Tony Woodcock at Cologne

A lot of people going for Forest to come back up. Interesting to note that nearly 29,000 there tonight (vs Carlisle). Largest crowd in the Football League. Larger crowd than 4 Premier League games this weekend too....

is the correct answer

It's like someone being pleased they don't have to buy anymore socks because they've lost both legs in a horrific accident. Relegation was be a disaster for the club. Full stop.

No you don't.
