hiya Veggie, I'm still about, more in a lurking capacity these days, having given up on the chase for 4th spot, it's funny how one result in your favor draws you back into it, I'm still clinging to 7th and Europa league football,  I believe the runners up in the FA Cup final no longer get Europe, and that that place goes to the league spot. Not 100% sure on that though.  Looking good for the Gunners in the race for the title. Easier run in on paper, we've to play all 3 in the race, not that we seem to be any of them 9 times out of 10.


I wonder how our North London Exiles are doing 

If Bolton win tonight at Sunderland it'll be the clubs best run of form since December 2006 which saw five wins in a row, ending the year in 3rd place in the table.

It was after that run that everything started to go wrong...

the sad thing is, Gerrard looks like he's going to get away with putting two fingers up to the ref, there's definitely a different law for a select few  
 
great performance from the gunners tonight, i'd love them to get Real Madrid in the next round, it could end up something like 10-9 on aggregate.

What an absolute legend Beckham is putting the G&G scarf on at the end of the match.

He was the only Milan player who looked interested in the second half as well. In that half hour he showed why he should definitely 100% be on the plane to South Africa in the summer. The way Rooney's learned to feed off quality delivery now is a good prospect for England. If Rooney has been playing for Milan tonight he would have had 4 goals in the last half hour.

Or catching Inter can cheer him up, or even better winning the World Cup can cheer him up!

I know his team are out, but British pundits are so sheltered when it comes to dismissing anyone outside the Prem. Ronaldo was absolutely outstanding year after year, on a totally different level to anyone in the Premier League.... but now all of a sudden because he's not in the Premiership, he's not even a contender for best player in the world. It's only Rooney and Drogba. Rooney is world class, top 5 in world easily, but he isn't at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo yet.

Can you get in to check? Some of the original choices might be invalid now as they have gone back to the Lane/Grove.

Morning all

Arsenal Ladies lost 2-1 in the first leg of their CL match against the German side FC Duisberg (sp), gives us a bit of hope for the home second leg.
Another Arsenal baby on loan scored last night Gilles Sunu at Derby, that's four of our babies on loan scoring over the last week  
Apparently Robbie Savage ended up in goal - and finished the game without someone sliding in on him!!
How bad were AC Milan last night? Beckham was the only one who gave it a go I thought

You can borrow mine if you want...as long as you don't change my team

Thanks RZB
Talking of Charlton/ Millwall have you and Croc seen the link posted by Meaty and Crunchy on the last page. It's worth a read!

Crunchy, that Redcafe OP sounds as mad as your cat

Actually where is Tom Bennet too? I haven't seen him around for ages.

The positive reaction to the protests of Man Utd fans towards Glazer by the media annoys me somewhat, given that just a few months back every Bolton fan was abused by the same bleeding journalists for similar protests directed at our own ginger idiot...

Thanks for posting the table Croc, I've not made one sale or sub since August, maybe time to give it some attention. I've not seen Perones since Cbb in January, he'll probably pop back in the summer when BB starts.

Good luck to Fulham tonight against Juventus.

I do hate that cheating Portuguese bloke - mind you I also hate Mourinho, Carvalho and Nani so I'm in the anyone but Portugal camp!
Oh Noez, Liverpool have just gone 1-0 down with only five minutes to go, not looking good for Rafa the Gaffer

Evening RZB, how are you?.


Hmm Spurs vs Man City will be a crucial game when it happens, funny how the Spurs fan in the Betfair advert is honest to say that if you did finish 4th most likely to end up going out in the qualifying rounds but who knows now?.
