I am everything but a Schalke fan, but how is Schalke a tiny club in comparison to Newcastle? I think the clubs have a lot in common - well except of the odd domestic and European trophy Schalke won in the last decade... Isnt Newcastle twinned with them? (city wise) A mining city with a strong loyal fanbase IIRC.

http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=446798&CPID=21&clid=&lid=2&title=Italian+football+to+resume&channel=football_home& The Italian football federation (IFF) have confirmed football in Italy will resume this weekend. All of last weekend's matches were postponed after a policeman was killed following an ill-tempered derby clash between Catania and Palermo on Friday. Football in the country was suspended following the tragedy, but after new stadium guidelines were approved on Wednesday, the league will also now resume. IFF commissioner Luca Pancalli has praised the government's efforts and believes it was the right thing to resume football in the country this weekend. "There is great satisfaction in the measures taken," stated Pancalli. "I'd like thank to the government for their efforts and speed. I think it would have been a mistake not restarting."

More like 'Chavi' Not happy Dyer he done so many mins.

No he hasn't. He's had signings that havent worked, but then who hasn't. His overall record is very good. Of the 10 players he's signed that cost over £5 mill each, Alonso, Garcia, Reina, Crouch, Sissoko, Agger, Bellamy, Kuyt have been very good signings for us. Jury will forever be out on Pennant. The 'big' signing that didn't work was Morientes, and at 6 mill that was hardly big bucks. But after that what money has he lost/wasted, not much really. Josemi arrived for 2 mill, was swapped for Kromkamp who was then sold for £2 mill. Barragan was sold for a profit after one year, as was Nunez, so no wasting of cash there (and both Nunez and Josemi helped the team win the CL which in itself made it a good return). Carson will be sold for a profit easily if he wants to leave. The problem Rafa has had is having to sell to buy each summer, and having to go for 2nd best (Pennant), cos he couldn't afford Kuyt AND Alves last summer. Transfers is the least of my concern, I just want the new ground sorted. Rafa hasn't done too shabily for a manager who's spent around £40m net the last 3 seasons. So he does't need an extra 200mill ala Maurenho. But every manager would like some more and not have to sell to buy. I expect to see a few players exit the doors though, and replaced with proper quality. Dudek Hyypia Paletta ? (is utter shite but will Rafa keep) Aurelio Zenden Kewell Fowler IMO will all be sold and replaced with good quality players. (although Carson coming back replaces Dudek) Liverpool need a new CB (1st team), LB (squad) L-wing (1st team) & a worldclass striker. If they went and got Curtis Davies, Baines or Bale, Torres & a mint young left winger then the team wouldn't even need investing in for some time, and if they promise to buy a worldclass player every year after that initial investment then Liverpool will quickly catch ground on Chelsea. Fuking bastards.

Nearly £90m and were fuking shite. Was that done in the season we had no European competition as well? So next season even without Europe we'll break the £100m barrier for the 1st time with the extra £20m from the new TV deal.

PS: Taxed,

I think Cristiano Ronaldo deserves a shout out, the reason Manu are top of the league this season. Not sure if i'd build a team round him though, but if i was going to build a team, it would be around someone young and i reckon he's the most influential player at the moment for his age.

Nee wonder they sold him!

European nights with the lads, having a few tinnies round my gaff even though there's work in the morning.

Evidence please? I'm sure he did just to train then be sent away again so SGE could have a look at him. He was in no way going to be picked if am thinking of the right player though. EDIT: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/profile?id=19812&cc=null 'His impressed enough to be invited to join the senior England side for their squad sessions in November 2002.' Aye, just to train, not up for selection, am sure SGE did that with a few players.

Thats from the Soccernet report - Ghana won 4-1. Somebody is going to get pissed off Lets hope there was a good reason they didnt play him (unless its: he injured himself in training ) Lets hope GR asked them not to, and they agreed. Building relations etc.

Tbf, it was probably some stupid jurno that asked him what he thought about it. That's the thing with these quotes, the questions are never cited. Probably, in fact nailed on, i just dont like him, think he stinks of arrogance.

Aye saw this today. Shearer is doing a job, he's being honest, Ballack has been just above shite since coming to Chelsea, Shearer as a pundit has a right to have a go at him, Ballack needs to stop crying and start playing football. But he'd rather have a whinge back, its Shearer's job now to do the talking, its still Ballacks job to play the football, Ballack needs reminding of this and i hope Shearer tells him next time he comments on Chelsea.

Also older fans who think their opinion is right as they have been around longer, never giving change a chance and hate it when new faces go to the match. Utter horrible cunts, hope the new generation of football fan do not turn out bitter and twisted like them.

I thought that was only in David Seaman's days.. Hated that,was hoping other teams score just so she can shut the f*** up Speaking of Arsenal,I also hate how Wenger pretends that they are a "fair play team" when the fact is they are one of the dirtiest teams in the EPL Aye, while were on Arsenal: Toure takes out the attacker with a challenge straight from prison while Lehmann stomps in and fly kicks the poor attacker in the head causing a fatality, wenger on the situation. "I deed not see that inceedent, i will have to check ze reeplays" Fuk off But when Van Persie dives in the box at the other end, with 6 bodies in the way and no opposing player within two miles as whole thing being over in split second the fuking cunt can see then cant he. "Yes, eet waas a penalty" Double fuk off

Why do you think Lescott is utter sh1te? Honestly I would be extremely happy if Taylor's partner is Lescott. Also, physical attributes are part and parcel in defensive ability. Hence I can "understand" that some people see King marginally better than Woodgate. But ultimately I very much disagree with this for though Woodgate is not as tough as King, he rarely get outmuscled and he has hardly been bullied by any physical players in premiership. Perhaps in Newcastle and Boro he has Bramble and Potagetz respectively, but in Leeds he had Rio Ferdinand! Nobody that ugly can be good at anything bar scaring children and surviving nuclear fallout with his inbred family.

Martins Leg break, Dyer skull fracture, Carr miraculous recovery and fit for the rest of the season. Can see it a mile off.

Pompy tosser with the bell. White Hart Lane having support beams right in front of the TV cameras. Manu arse kissing. Liverpool singing won it 5 times John Motson Lawro Stephen Carr Celery Babayaro The screaming bitch at Highbury whenever the oppo went near the Arsenal goal. thank fuk for the stadium move. 4-5-1 defensive at home. (Bolton, Everton, other teams and managers with lack of talent and imagination) Celtic, Rangers & the whole religion thing, gay tbh. Matt Le Tissier doing our matches on Gillette soccer Saturday when he clearly loves to see us beat and almost cries when we score. Cunt.

A list of top ten English defender by "Alan Shearer", a Toon fan I suppose. Why is Upson in there and no Curtis Davies? And Linvoy Primus? Can't believe that there are some Spurs fan who think Dawson is better than Lescott. I can accept that, though disagreeing, some saying King being marginally better than Woodgate. But Dawson better than Lescott? yep Dawson's the better centre back (hence the continuous england call ups). Some players on that list shouldnt be there but i dont really wanna start an argument. There are a lot of players who have had endless call ups but really havent deserved them! Dawson is very average and this is often proved any time King is injured! Bramble and even Andy bloody O'Brien looked good players next to Woodgate! Lescott has had half a good season whilst dawson had an Excellent season last year (should have been our player of the year) and was outstanding in he's first six months at our club. He's been good this year but nothing special. Lescott's definatly had the better season so far. Lescott is utter shite. Dawson is a class above him imo, and i think Dawson is plain average. King is not a good a defender as Woodgate, physically he's stronger in all areas, but Woody outclasses him in every other department.

Aye, our chances of winning anything meaningful have taken another hit today, but with Liverpool now bought, what other realistic options are there left for anyone wanting to takeover in the greatest league in the world? Come on Bill Gates! Aye, Liverpool football club perhaps having even greater resources added to the fact they are prepared to employ top footballers ignoring self righteous bollocks from the naive makes it more difficult for us to win owt. Of course it makes it easier, my mistake.

Not in total. They only paid off half of it. Why not i dont know, im guessing the other half is very low interest or owed to a board member, so eventually the club will be £300m in debt, as the stadium is costing £250m according to them.

Its about the only thing the fans can be United over at the moment, everyone is in agreement

Yeah, Roeder should have definitely told the press how delighted he is with Carr being injured instead. Should of said nowt and be thankful Ireland are picking up his wages until he's back.
