What channel? I don't know about you guys but its on Show Time sports here Poor Mido got injured in the warm up
-
Boro vs Mackams starting now. Not sure why i should watch this.
-
If there is one man we can count on to lead us in this time its Owen, he really seems to be the only person who gives a fuck on or off the field.
-
They have him back on December on their injury table.

Sounds unreal, but: Deportivo was lucky.... I'm a Rosenborg-supporter, but I was happy on behalf of Brann tonight. Great performance And so far it seems Rosenborg does their job OK in Denmark too Wasn't the guy who scored Brann's 2nd on trial with us earlier this season? On a side note, its pretty cool having 5 english teams in the UEFA this year, makes it alot more intresting to watch even if its not us. Nah, unless of course you are thinking of the one who scored Rosenborg's second and just mixed up Brann and Rosenborg, because that was that Per Ciljan Skjelbred bloke we were linked with the entire summer. Actually i confused him with Aleksander Solli who we had here pre-season..thanks anyway

Yes, there was outrage, protests on the street, people calling for Ashley's head, Banners with "Ashley out !" and apperently two guys beat the fuck out of a guy who turned out to be his look alike.

My country isn't in that list! Anyways signed up..

And this foreign big name would come to us in the state we're in at the moment - why? Because at least he won't walk everytime we sign a player that he dosn't know about.

I can't believe the phrase "whoring the club around" wasn't used in a rap song before..
-
I can affect the club, in a positive way.

I dont know a great deal about horse racing but speaking to people that do, I have been told that it is all about the winning & owning the best horses rather than the money for the people involved in horse racing from the middle east. They take great delight in beating fellow Arabs on winning a major race or out bidding one for horses. Is this stuff true? True when it comes to Horse races in the UAE, Camel races in Saudi Arabia, sadley even though we are in 2008 and even though those people own so much money they still think as if this was 1850, for them winning a horse race and owning the best horse is a source of great pride and honour, they would pay millions to get the best horse and will stop at nothing to get it, its truely ridiculous. As your our man in the middle east, do you think the same would be adopted to running a football team wanting to own the best players, wanting the glory of trophies? With the people being linked with Newcastle United Pretty much yeah, if they put their mind on something they'll stop at nothing to make it happen, and if we got bought by someone from Dubai for example then their is no doubt they'll want to outdo the Abu Dhabi based Man City. However lets not forget that this is football, its not a bunch of animal running in circles, money isn't always everything here athough it does play a huge part.

I am not sure about horse racing but I have a good friend who works for Emirates Airlines and with them being a Dubai based Airline and from travelling there frequently for training courses etc, he says that they are very competetive with their fellow Arab States and are always looking to outdo each other. Thats true, in UAE's case they have inner states such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi always trying to outdo each other, while UAE the country spends ridiculous amounts of money just to make sure its the foucs point of the region, i don't think there are many places in the world that come near Dubai when it comes to the quality of that place, anything is possible there, all it takes to make it possible is for one sheikh to think "why not?", thing is they always look at what other people did and try to do it again, only better, and larger, we bulit an F1 track here in Bahrain, they were so pissed they bulit an island, with a F1 track as one of the attractions in the island. At least their national team is/was and always will be shit

You got to understand that what happend in City won't happen again, what happend in City was one bored Sheikh who thought that having the best team in the world would be a good thing to brag to his friends about went and bought them, he dosn't care if he wins or loses money as much as he cares about his team getting results. However those invesment groups are bulit to achieve profit, and i highley doubt that buying this club at its current state with the price on offer is going to be a good decsion business wise. On the other hands, i know that their are at least 4 or 5 other people who are just as rich/if not richer than the guy who bought City, so if one of them decides that he wants to play real life PES with him he might just buy or club.

I live here (well pretty close anyway) and its the first time i ever hear of them, the name isn't actually pronounced zabeel its actually alot funnier than that in Arabic Anyway i wouldn't trust them with a takeover, but if they do pay 860m for us then Ashley is a better business man than i thought and if they do pay that amount then they'll defintley work their ass off to make it the best there is..so lets see.
