Here is one: Who thought having rival stadium no less then 20 yards away from each other across the road? (see Dundee, and Dens Road)

 

I had no idea 160 metres was 20 yards.........

Be sure to bring you dictionaries if you are going to see the Euro 2012 in Poland.

:lol:

 

How are things going with that anyways? Heard a while back it may be in danger of being moved for the stadiums not being done in time or something?

 

The Ukrainians were having some problems with the construction of the new stadiums and hotels but I think it'll turn out OK for them. On the Polish side the main problem was and still is the AWFUL highway system, like seriously driving on Polish roads is virtually the same as going on a roller coaster ride with endless twists and turns. Other than that everything is on schedule, just a shame they didn't pick Kraków as one of the venues giving it is probably the best looking city in the country.

I was in Dneprpetrovsk recently and they've got the same problem with the roads, MASSIVE potholes all over the shop. Also zero infrastructure, hotels all look war-torn and dangerous etc. Only half decent-looking thing was the stadium. And 'half decent-looking' is probably being generous.

 

On the plus side though, they do have loads of massive UEFA banners on every street, so that's alright.

Mark Hughes set to be sacked this weekend, regardless of the City - Sunderland match, apparantly:

 

MARK HUGHES is set to be axed this weekend - even if his Manchester City side beat Sunderland at Eastlands today.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and owner Sheikh Mansour finally lost faith following City's 3-0 drubbing at Tottenham on Wednesday.

 

Guus Hiddink and Jurgen Klinsmann are understood to be on City's wanted list of replacements for Sparky.

 

Russia coach Hiddink excelled as Chelsea's stand- in boss last season and his agent yesterday claimed there has already been contact from City.

 

But former Germany chief Klinsmann is also in the frame - especially as he is currently out of management.

 

Hughes, 46, was appointed as City boss in June 2008 and has spent £250million on the team. But the club's Abu Dhabi owners have not seen the return on their investment they were expecting.

 

I understand Hughes came close to getting the sack on November 28 after his team yet again surrendered a lead to draw at home to Hull.

 

Chairman Khaldoon left Eastlands furious but decided to give Sparky more time following a long phone conversation with him the next day.

 

It was the third successive time City had thrown away an advantage, having also drawn 2-2 with Fulham and 3-3 with Burnley.

 

Hughes appeared to have turned things round by reaching the Carling Cup semi-finals with a 3-0 win against Arsenal and following that with a 2-1 triumph over Chelsea.

 

But City then drew 3-3 at struggling Bolton and the hammering at White Hart Lane has now forced his bosses' hand.

 

City have lost just twice this season but are currently eighth in the Premier League after a run of eight draws.

 

The performances of some of the high-profile stars like Robinho and Emmanuel Adebayor have not helped Hughes.

 

But he has also spent big on a defence that has already shipped 24 goals in the league.

 

City defender PABLO ZABALETA has signed a new 4½-year deal with the club.
