Someone somewhere said it was tomorrow, I thought it was til I heard this morning on Sky Sports News

It is normally on the Friday after the round has finished, I thought it was this Friday originally. Only found out last night it wasn't

Ronaldinho's won World Player of the Year :love:

-edit- just found out it was in a magazine vote, not the real thing :$

That's the right decision.
I personally think that Ali Daei should have won. :shifty:

You sure? BBC, FIFA and Sky Sports haven't said anything

oh right, i just went in and looked on itv teletext and it said Ronaldinho named World Player of the Year, maybe not official yet then. I imagine he's the favourite.

Editted original post :'(

Henry shouldn't get it due to shiteness for France in Euro, and also shiteness in Arsenal's bigger games this year.

The alternative venues being considered for Yeading's tie are Loftus Road (QPR), Adams Park (Wycombe) and Griffin Park (Brentford)

Yeading's tie has been moved to Loftus Road. Although it's probably the best of the possibilities QPR will be playing there the day before, so it won't be good for the pitch.

With Brentford,even though they'll lose to Hinckley, away in the next round, it would have made more sense to play at Griffin Park.

Exeter's Bad Idea

By Dunny
Date: 10/12/2004

Exeter City sponsors, the airline 'flybe' could unwittingly score a PR own goal when the Grecians face United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

The budget airline intend to treat the players like "Premiership stars" by flying them to Manchester for the game and will offer a £1000 bonus to any player that celebrates a goal with an aeroplane gesture.

flybe marketing director, Simon Lilley told the Non League paper: "We have been delighted with the players' celebrations."

The marketing tool had better re-think his 'idea'.

whoops

Ooooooh, that could be interesting

Not that they'll score anyway

Don't know if anyone is watching it, but the Lazio vs Lecce game on Eurosport has been absolutely awesome

Whats the score?

It was 3-3

Lecce led 2-0 at half time, then Lazio pulled it back to 2-2, were all over them, Inzaghi then tried to chip the keeper when he could have slid it past, and Lecce ran up the other end and scored, before Di Canio equalised. Awesome end to end game.

Awesome

I can't stand Italian football. It's unbelievably boring.

As for Kirks comments on the Champions League draw, Liverpool might have to sh</>it themselves but I'm not worried about any of those teams at all. AC Milan will give us a game but if Celtic can piss over them for 85 mins on their own ground and then draw at Parkhead, I'd like to believe we'd do better.

Can't believe our inconsistent home form :(

Xavi got a late winner to move Barcelona 12 points clear though, great strike.

Where is Marcel Desially now?

Qatar i believe, actually been said a few pages ago but no worries.

I think that was me that asked, but this thing has like 5 pages a day so I couldn't find it. But he actually plays in Qatar? As in the little country in the middle east?

I'm pretty sure he does, yeah. Quite a few big name veterans have gone over there to earn quite a lot more money, such as Batistuta and Hierro (before joining Bolton). I think the De Boer brothers are there too.

I'm not 100% on Desailly though, it was said that he was going to Qatar after turning down Palace, Portsmouth and Celtic but i never heard it confirmed.

Oh yeah I remember when Batistuta went over there, thats crazy

Pompey is being linked with Gordon Strachan.

Wouldn't that be something if they got him?

I can't stand Italian football either, but it was literally the only thing on TV, and it turned out to be a great game.

As for the Champions League draw, I think we have a chance against all of them except for Juve, and I think its pretty much the same for United.

Fuck off :( Are we ever going to beat those blue bastards :(

lol that's 3 wins and 2 draws for the Brums against the Villa now.

2-1 to Arsenal against Chelsea at half time.

Henry with both, first inside of 90 seconds. Terry for Chelsea in between.

2-2.

What can I say, neither team really deserved to lose. We're still in touch with Chelski though, less than 2 games in it. We've won the premiership from further back than that, so I'm not too worried about it.

Henry's miss. :nono:.

I was nearly standing on my sofa when he missed that

But at least it wasn't as bad as Kanu :D

Oh yeah, I'm hearing Henry's a "cheat" now because he took the early free kick. He didn't ask the ref to get the wall back 10 yards, so it was perfectly legit for him to take the early free kick.

Did the same thing against Villa in January.

Bomb in The Bernabau supposedly

http://footballmsn.skysports.com/lis...=Football_Home

Fans and players have all been evacuated with minutes left in the game early reports indicate ETA called it in

Its funny because during World Cup 98 I was rooting for France and my brother for Italy. He was telling me that Henry would never be nearly as good as Baggio. Even I am kind of surprised how good Henry turned out.

Chelsea were the better side and anyone who says that Arsenal should have had a penalty at the end needs to remember that that fucking disgraceful French twat Pires dived to get the free kick Henry scored from.

I homnesltykj ybleibe ithat arsenal wre the beyyet siden f=goirtn ninteln y mintues

Sid are you pissed?

They'll be lucky if it means it's replayed, they'd have lost more ground on Barcelona otherwise. I dunno if that link says it but another article i read said it was at 9:00pm local time, which is when the second half would have kicked off i thought, yet they left it to the end to evacuate :|

Arsenal/Chelsea was a good game, quite a few of those hyped up games don't live up to expectation but that was alright.

LOL, I love it.

Chelsea were the better side, but with the way Fabregas, Flamini, Campbell, Henry, Almunia et al stood up today, it would have been rough on us had we lost today.

Pires does go down easily, I'll admit that, but he definitely got sandwiched by 2 defenders for that free kick.

I'm not going to complain about that penalty shout too much, because both teams had their chances to win it (Lampard, Gallas, Henry, van Persie come to mind) but a winner never came, and a draw is a fair result.

Sh</>it....I wrote that?
