Does anyone know what this "A" celebration is about? Marcus Bent amongst others doing it. I'm just off to the doctors btw. Not because I have a cold...but because I want the Rags to win today. Back in time for !Grand Slam Sunday!!!11!1" tho. 4 of the big 5 playing each other.

At least he didn't swear. Or maybe they edited that bit out.

MotD: Manchester City v Bolton Wigan v Blackburn West Ham v Everton Portsmouth v Tottenham Sunderland v Aston Villa Fulham v Newcastle Derby v Middlesbrough Birmingham v Reading I hope we don't have....her

I've not seen owt of the game but I've got the radio on. Quote David Pleat. "This game has not been boring in any way shape or form". And again. Paraphrasing. "They should send a DVD of this game to Capello. This is the way we play." I can't say thats the impression I've got from reading this.

COYB. Great game. As it always is when the opposition are proper shite at the back. Even Vassell had a good game ( ). Rolandinho again tho, classy as owt, where the fuck has he been. The best thing about it of course, is that we have again broken up the "big 4" ahead of tomorrows festivities. Altho I expect, as has been customary for most of the season, Sky will completely ignore us. "Arsenal top, Rags just behind, with Liverpool and Chelsea 4 points away" or other such bollox. >

Capello out.

Times agrees with the mail. I hope this is true. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article3048625.ece

Owen's worth more than £6m. I'd take £8m though. Harsh. But fair. Good. Please be true.

Whoops. I saw that on Wiki and completely read it wrong. :-[ Anyway. He's guilty. Its a minor point, but, while I make no attempt to defend Shinawatra's past, he's not the only one out there with a shady past. Thaksin deserved the witchhunt he had to suffer thru to take over City but theres never been a murmur about anyone else. Gudmundsson past isn't nearly as mirky as Thaksin's but having a man who owns a premiership club having a history of being a director of a massive company that went south, and being convicted of crimes, however minor, in the aftermath, is pretty interesting? But it never gets a mention, and I certainly don't remember outcry over whether he is fit and proper when he took over, and I don't expect one now. Is it because practically every cunt on Fleet Street is a West Ham fan?

So it could be better rather than worse for them not much has actually changed as egg head only had 5% and the fella buying them was the vast majority share holder already I always assumed Magnusson was just the front man who gave the consortium some level of legitimacy...cos this Gudmundsson, while rich, is a convicted criminal? Whatever happened to that fit and proper persons stuff. I don't think you're in a position to criticize the legitimacy of an owner Nope, not really. However I am in a position to criticize the disproportianate media representation of Shinawatra compared to other shady characters like Gudmundsson and Gaydamak. What have they been found guilty of? Gudmundsson spent 12 months in prison for book keeping offenses after the collapse of his shipping firm. Gaydamak has been found guilty of nothing. But his father (power behind the throne?) is wanted the world over for arms dealing and tax evasion.

HA! When Shinawatra took over us there was all sorts of stuff coming up about this fit and proper persons test because of all the claims over human rights offenses and whatnot. That was fair enough. But "fit and proper" wasn't really about that sort of thing, its about whether or not a person has a history of fraud, theft, tax evasion, etc. And this fella Gudmondsson has spent 12 months in prison for bookkeeping offenses. Where is the outrage? Silence is deafening. Typical cockney media bias.

I've got sympathy for anybody who gets stabbed for supporting any team. They put themselves in a situation where they knew there was a possibility they could get hurt, and for what, to watch Johnny Evans and Chris Eagles play in a dead game. Why? Fools for going in the first place. Are you honestly fucking blaming the victims here because that's what I'm reading, that you're saying it's their fault they got stabbed. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Even when I thought they where people being randomly attacked, Manchester United fans are knowledgable enough about the way things work in that part of the world to know they were putting themselves in a dangerous situation. Of course its not the way it should be, these cunts shouldn't even be in the competition if fans can't even go the game safely, but the TV money men, UEFA, the g14, all these cunts disagree. Unfortunately its probably going to take someone (else. On a weekday) being killed before owt serious gets done about it. In the meantime fans - especially ones who have been over there many times before - should realise whats going to happen, and how little protection they are going to get from the Roman police, and seriously ask themselves if its worth it. If the authorities aren't going to stamp down on them (Which they clearly arent), then they should stay away. Of course, thats not what happened is it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7141752.stm There are no "victims" here. Just a bunch of muppets who went looking for trouble, and suprise suprise, they found it in the form of knife wielding italians. They played with fire, they got burnt. PS: 2009 Champions League final to be held at Stadio Olympico, Rome.

One of them only 16 years old. What is it with these Italian fans? Absolute cowards. I'd like to know what was going thru the heads of that kids parents when they let him go to this game. I also heard a Roma fan had been stabbed?

Why wait for him to get the job before beginning the character assasination? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2007/12/12/england-target-is-fan-of-fascist-89520-20237389/

That Ben Arfa chap is a bit useful.

Its hard to feel any sympathy (at this stage, afaik no-one is dead). I'm not saying that because they are Rags. But because going to watch your team play in Rome is on a par to sticking your hand in a toaster. Obviously the purportrators are scum and I make no attempt to excuse their behavior, but the fact that there are italian football "fans" who like to stab people should come as a shock to absolutely nobody, especially fans of teams who go over there every 5 minutes. Why bother going. Its not like the game means owt or anything. Have you seen their team?

Garth Crooks is a fucking legend. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/V2VXR/Barton.jpg Not his fault the work experience kid pushing the buttons put Beye in the wrong kit. ...Or Sol Campbell and Steven Gerrard both make the team twice...

2-1 FT. First goal a fucking joke. And Ireland wants fucking shooting.

FFS. Melchiot got sent off for doing one of them on him last fucking week. The stupid fucking cunt! I don't think we touched the ball after that. 2-1.
