Canuck

X10 looks like she lost her way home.

Was CSKA- Besiktas played behind closed doors? The pics on t'internet make it look like the stadium is empty.

SHOCKING (that it took this long into the season)

He'll get plenty of games, but maybe not as many starts. He's third choice striker, and plays on the wing as well. Cheers for that. Can't imagine he'll be content as 3rd choice or on the wing.

Doesn't look like Oba is starting at OT tonight. Does he get many games?

Norman Wisdom is a Brighton and Hove Albion supporter AFAIK. Why the (alleged) NUFC connection? *edited* Previous post answered my question...

Cardiff 6 - 1 Derby Chopra with 4!!

Soon - only 9 pages to go before the sale is confirmed.

Clearly not going to happen unless we hit 600 by Thursday midnight... I am ITK on this one.

I don't know - Christ is getting on in years. Not as mobile as he once was...

I thought 500 was the landmark for the announcement?

The epic nature of this thread makes the interminable wait for news bearable.

1 plus stoppage

I thought it was a wind up and responded accordingly. I refuse to believe that people are taking OP seriously.

But you haven't, have you. No. For the sake of total disclosure and to completely eradicate all sense of fun from the piss take I will highlight the fact that I have only been twice and own up to the lie that says I have been 126.6 times. My apologies to Fatwax for any confusion. I guess we Canadians actually have a sense of humour...

I live ~3800 miles from SJP and have been twice. Therefore, assuming 60mph average speed, I have been 126.6 times.

Seems he is playing at a level that suits him...

Quoted for truth...

So long as he is not a Moat-ician... come to bury the club.

What do you make if The Times' petition to get the final moved? http://timesonline.typepad.com/thegame/2009/03/champions-leagu.html

This is my favourite part from the beeb's report: "The fan, who is not from the Greater Manchester area,"

I think the ability to read the game - ebbs and flows, mismatches, how strengths match up... Anticipation A good first look. The saying that always comes to mind as a coach - Don't go where the ball has been, go where the ball will be. In order to do that you need all of the above. IMHO

Word is that he has not travelled with he team to Manchester. I agree with the previous thought that Ashley is attending the match to negotiate the fee. Bye Shay...

Not true - he guessed the result correctly on the Tottenham win but he got the score wrong. He's still a t***.

Heard a mackem on the radio yesterday saying he and his mates (sounded more like meats) were sick to death of "old Keano" and wanted shot of him. The panel were stunned and wondered if the mackems were deluded.
