http://www.footballcardsuk.com/cards/2006/6366.jpg Coventry and Ireland superstar. Had a canny World Cup in 2002 and apparently agreed to sign for Inter Milan (yes, Inter fucking Milan!) but failed a medical so took the next logical step and joined another Italian team in the Champions League West Ham United. He did finally get to play for a team in a cultured European city when he signed for sunderland in 2003 before seeing out his days with Wolves and Barnet.

looks weird seeing a game played at Camp Nou during the day.

perhaps rest Santon. Other than that, full strength please.

couldn't eyvin beyt ten men, marra. #9-1 #FTM

Cabaye's that no-one went for and went out for a goal kick. Yes Sissoko (?) had his run blocked but there was no communication or other movement.

Rose has done his hammy.

Jenkinson off for Arsenal.

Lowes: "With the exception of Lionel Messi, is there a better player than Gareth Bale in the world at the minute?" AP: *some mumblings but thankfully didn't jump on the complete wankfest*

dropped my mate off back home after we'd been to the pub. Interesting start to the sunlun game on BBC Newcastle. First of all, total silence so you heard the PA read out the entire sunlun XI, subs, match sponsor, ball sponsor etc then Nick Barnes finally spoke about 5 mins later. Second, Clattermole booked after 80 seconds

eurgh. Top and bottom of it was that Bale was the difference. Second goal was extremely poor defending and goalkeeping. Thought we missed Gouffran's workrate when he went off. Brought Marveaux on and he barely touched the ball.

off to the pub. Being gay though and not starting on the drink yet. Coke and maybe even a coffee beckons. Howay the lads!

Marveaux is both playing and on the bench. Lush skills.

#NUFC (4-2-3-1) v #THFC: Krul; Debuchy, S.Taylor, Coloccini ©, Santon; Cabaye, Perch; Gutierrez, Sissoko, Marveaux; Cisse.

Was that the Juve game where Buffon came out after bigging up Carroll?

FGS and 2-1 to us is 75/1 on Skybet...

always lose my shit at that Pingu gif. One of the best.

Zlatko Zahovic http://info.babylon.com/cgi-bin/bis.fcgi?rt=GetFile&uri=!!AET3780JFT&type=0&index=8 The year is 1999. The month is August. A 10 and a half year old WBCP is on an expedition of Crete with his folks. They've hired a car and driven from wherever the f*** they were staying to some other town. They go into a sports shop. Young WBCP doesn't want a fake Brazil top to remember his travels. He wants something authentic. On a rack he finds an Olympiakos top. He puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out his velcro wallet, the kind all 10 year old kids had. It probably had a picture of "Purple Ronnie" on the front. He looks at the price tag. Whatever the f*** the shirt cost in drachma, he had just enough. He made sure it fit and took it to the counter. The old bloke typed in the price and proceeded to fold the shirt, then he noticed the back of it, on which was printed "Zahovic 25". The old Grecian looked at WBCP. "ohhhhhh not Zahovic!" he laughed. Young WBCP was rattled like a Mag that had been told Cattermole was better than Tiote. "What do you mean?" he uttered, or words to that affect. The old man's eyes widened. "He bad man! He bad man!" he bellowed. Nevertheless WBCP handed over the money and wandered out none the wiser. -------------------------------------------- I now know he was somewhat of a dick and seemed to fall out with coaches everywhere. Made it to Euro 2000 with Slovenia.

Insightful c***s such as Robbie Earle and Andy Townsend said Yakin was the better than Pele and Maradona put together and that all the top PL clubs should be looking at him. Yakin, however, had other ideas and remained in Switzerland for most of his career where he is still pigging out on toblerone, wearing fancy watches, getting paid with Nazi gold and being a f***ing neutral bugger. It's rumoured Hakan has volunteered to be sent round in the hadron collider with brother Mourat to create a "Super Yakin" which will save the world from the current recession.

would've even been a decent punt for Chelsea. Certainly better than Turnbull.

An astonishingly s*** mackem side that. Arguably worse than the s**** that broke the record 3 years later. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2003/feb/03/match.sport10 Zinedine Kilbane saying they can get out of it after that OG fest, they lost all of the next 12 games mackem ST holders I went to school with at the time reckoned people tried to leave at 2-0 and they wouldn't let them out.
