Sometimes real life gets in the way.

is that one of the no frills carriers? I take it the airports are nowhere near Madrid? Ryanair are the worst......I once flew to Frankfurt Hahn.....but the airport was 2 hours outside Frankfurt near the luxembourg border! (my fault for not researching it beforehand but to call their airport `Frankfurt` was taking the pi$$ on top of having to pay 30 euro return for the bus trip to get to Frankfurt - would`ve been almost the same price taking a proper airline ) Madrid has two airports I think, but I've only ever been to one. Just a short taxi ride into the city. Funny enough I use Ryanair, but I've not really had the problems you've talked about - but then again I only really fly to Spain to see people out there. EDIT Just checked it and Madrid Barajas (Madrid International Airport) is 12km from the town centre.

For flights alone you can get free flights and just pay £5 tax. I fly to Madrid quite alot and the most I tend to pay for a return to Madrid is about £30.

The Spurs of this transfer window reminds me of a grubby toddler that wants the toys the other kid at playgroup wants.

Aye, I can feel it. Except we'll get Chelsea, not Cardiff. You know we'd get a run like arsenal, man u, liverpool, chelsea and even if we came through that lot we'd end up drawing barcelona somehow in some new rule made up of not allowing us to ever win anything. If a rule such as this appears on the yellow ticker on SSN in the next few days, I'll hunt you down like the dog you are. Overrall I didn't mind the match, hardly a classic. I just really, really loathe that awful "Come on Pompey, Pompey come on" chant in that stupid Southern accent. I don't mind Portsmouth as a team or the place to be honest, but for some reason that 'apples & pears' basic as f*** chant enrages me.

That photo reminds me of bobbleheads you used to be able to buy as a kid. ..were they called bobbleheads?

The current home kit is for 2007/08 - 2008/09 I believe. We tend to change the away kit every year.

It'll have been on a Spurs forum within minutes, too late, sorry. News just in that Spurs have signed the picture in a 4 year deal worth upwards of £15million. News conference and unveiling at WHL at 1pm

Incorrect quote from N'Zogbia. Twisted slightly to hint at leaving. Nice one Louise.

Off TalkSport: Heh, I'd love it if it was true.

Heh, this didn't work out for me. I was living in Derby for nearly all of this season. Backfired somewhat. same here. Maybe I saw the wrong parts like. No, you didn't. You saw all you needed of Hull. I think it was voted the worst place to live.. or was definately up there.

Lord Coe has told Sky Sports News he would like to see Sir Alex Ferguson manage the Great Britain football team at the 2012 Olympics. A Great Britain football team for the London Olympics has been a subject of debate for some time and Coe is all for it. Coe, the chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, confirmed holding informal discussions with the Manchester United boss but did not divulge whether the Scot was interested in the post. "I would love to see Alex coach the team," Coe told Sky Sports News. "I can't think of anybody that frankly (more) deserves at the end of a stunning career to be in charge of young players here. He added: "I've spoken to Alex. "We know each other. We're good friends." Chelsea fan Coe's bid to land Ferguson first came to light two months ago, at which time United expressed a relaxed attitude about the approach. Ferguson was thought to be intrigued by the offer but reluctant to accept were it to interfere with his duties at Old Trafford. Door open The concept of a British team, which last entered the Olympic qualifying tournament with an amateur side in 1972, is controversial. Both the Scottish Football Association and the Football Association of Wales are opposed to it, with the former indicating they will attempt to block Scottish players from being picked to play. One of the reasons for their stance is the fear Fifa could strip the home nations of their special status, which guarantees each nation voting rights within the organisation. Fifa president Sepp Blatter initially claimed this would not be the case, but more recently said a British team should consist exclusively of English players. Coe insisted the door would remain "open" should the Scottish and Welsh FAs relax their stances. "I clearly want the best players - wherever they come from Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England - to be there," added Coe "But I also recognise it is an issue for the individual football associations and the door is open." The venues for the football tournament in 2012 are currently limited to England, with Old Trafford, St James' Park, Villa Park and Wembley all to host matches. Coe said he would "love" to include Glasgow's Hampden Park and Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on the schedule. But he revealed he would not lobby the Scottish and Welsh associations to change their minds, adding: "I'm not going to get sleepless nights over it." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3565620,00.html Nice to see SJP as a venue at least.

And there goes the credibility of your source

Did a quick scan around google and found a few stories from the last 7 days with a few lines about us looking at/enquiring about Veloso and/or Moutinho.. Could be a grain of truth in it, could be a non-story. +25 pages within the next 12 hours

Seeing Keegan treated with such little respect from some people when things didn't work out straight away. Watching the slide of form from what at first seemed like a fairly positive start. Being destroyed by Portsmouth within 10 minutes. Sometimes you can accept it throughout a whole match.. but 10 minutes?! Being let down by another false dawn. I didn't really expect a high finish and 12th would have been more-or-less acceptable for me (year of transition/other teams who are now on the up have had mediocre seasons before etc) but it was the way in which it all unfolded. We didn't have a go, we didn't have a clue and we didn't seem to care.

That isn't murder, that's a mercy killing.

Apparently Figo is threatening legal action because of the claims. It's just a perfect story with the fact that Figo got an injury the match following the feline murder

How many midfielders do they want? If it turns out that they're still interested after getting Modric, I'll seriously start to believe that they're just buying for the sake of it.

Hablo - I speak Hablas - You speak (informal) Claro que si!

I agree that Steve Bruce's Wigan will bend over nicely for Fergie. I hope Fulham stay up, as they've shown heart over the last few months.. The only team I'd really wanted to have gone down was Bolton, but there's no chance of that anymore. Hm.

Fuck off! That's one of my old bosses! Hahah. Small world.

I used to work at the 50 Casino in London, some high rollers there.

Nearly all the top South American youngsters in FM have moved to good European clubs IRL within the past year or so. Lulinha

I think the last time was actually against West Ham. Aye, I think it was. At home last season. 2-0 down, Ramage went off injured, Milner with an offside goal and Solano penalty. 2-2.
