Well, what are everyone's thoughts on this Saturday date before Newcastle v West Brom? Only thing is, for people outside the area it seems a right trek just for a game (albeit the most important game of football in modern times).

Leon Osman.

I should point out, I have no strong allegiance (meh, just prefer Barca generally), but to see Madrid get bummed by them was fairly amusing.

Full time. Snigger. Alcorcon doing ole passes at the end there, brilliant.

Gosling really hasn't impressed me thus far. But I'm prepared to give him time.

Christ, awful story. RIP.

Took them 81 minutes. Nice strike.

Were their fans just clapping a Alcorcon player going off? Wouldn't be surprised. Ronaldinho 2005-esque. Well. Not the performance. You know what I mean.

68 minutes. Still goalless.

Was going to ask - does Lassana Diarra regularly get deployed at right back?

Goalless at HT.

Bet365 would probably have it.

Honestly, Alcorcon could take the lead here. Not that they're doing much, but some more composure on the ball and there's no reason why they can't. Madrid playing open without really creating much. El Clasico under 3 weeks away.

From football365.com: Carsley speaks.

Shameless bump. Anyone?

Is it tonight? That's absolutely abysmal value.

This really is beautiful.

Choo-choo's been train-ing hard, and could be further derailing Liverpool's season.

Can only repeat what others have said, such a shame.

Freddy Adu, Kim Kallstrom, Cherno Samba, Matias Fernandez, Daniel Bierofka, Daniel Braaten and others.

Yankie Doodle I'd dare guess.

Leaning towards January as well, Greg. Just need to generate enough interest full-stop first, though.

If people are indeed interested in this, is leaving it till January better? Or do people not have any real preference?

Very good.
