Lenny,

If it's Eastern Europe make sure you do go.

I've been to some ridiculous places supporting Jack's / Mick's / Brian's Boys in Green and some of the Eastern European countries are just magic.

Hey Lenny,

You know any good motorbike mechanic.

I used Kennedy's in Drogheda before but they're quite expensive.

 

 

 

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Who's going to win the Premiership?

Looks like ChelseaAngry ...............but wait who's that coming up on the rails........it's Man United............too late I think.

Who's going to win European Champions Cup?

Looks like Barcelona.

Ah yeah Pat, two far more important questions....................

Who's gonna get the second automatic promotion spot from the Championship to the Premiership.................We are Leeds,

Who's gonna win the All Ireland Football Championship..........Not the Dubs I fear   CryCry

Hurling Championship ? Don't look past Kilkenny this time.

AC Milan for the Champions League.

Hey Rolo....I thought AC Milan were knocked out by Lyon.

Re the Dubs.......I fear same but you never know.

I always liked Kilkenny.......I remember the great Kilkenny team of '63....

Oh and Rolo............I hope for you're sake Leeds make it back but that was a setback against Crystal Palace the other night.

Also I always like Man U visiting Elland Road.

Always a bit of Angry

Oh Ah Cantona Wink

No Pat, Milan beat Bayern Munich, hammered them actually. My brother lived in Milan for a while so they've always been a favourite of mine. I've been to the San Siro when I visited him there.

Agree with you about the setback 'gainst Palace but if you'd said ten weeks ago that we'd have got to within 4 points of Sheffield Utd.by this stage I'd have bitten your hand off.

Dublin v Mayo in Parnell Park under lights tomorrow night. Will be a good bit of crack. We can't afford to lose and they've won their first five matches so watch out or firecrackers.

As for that French f**ker Cantona, don't get me started.

Rolo.

Would have said so if they hadn't drawn Juventus. They won't let them play the way Madrid did or even Barcelona might have.

I'd love to see them do it though. Thierry Henry deserves to win one and it'd be a right kick in the boll*x for Patrick Vieira if they did. Just like Michael Owen last year who left the Scousers for Madrid 'cos he wanted to win the Champions League LOLLOLLOL

Rock on Rolo.......Michael Owen Angry

So what's the sh*t with Cantona..........I know he left youse but you gotta admire the guy......personally I don't think he would have achieved the same status with Leeds (no offence).........he was made for the Theatre Of Dreams.........I wish he was still around.........one of the all time greats........

I've been following United since the 50's and he's one of the few players that really had it all.........Best of course.......Law in ways sure and not forgetting young Duncan Edwards............Keane as well..... but Cantona was champagne.Wink

Ah I know Pat. Just jealous. He played for us for about fifteen games towards the end of our last championship season 91/92 , scored three goals and everyone said he won the league for us.Angry

Then he started causing trouble in the dressing room,rumour had it that whenever he didn't turn up for training all the players were immediately on the phone to their wives, checking them out.

Agree he was deadly at Old Trafford, but not as good as Keano..........now there was pure class.

Am a gunner through and through. Started late 70's early eighties when  Brady Stapleton etc were the heros of the day. Lived in North London for awhile so had a season ticket for a couple of seasons that was when Charlie Nicholas was the darling of the North Bank.

Now its Henri and Freddie never any shortage of heros at Highbury .

Fingers crossed for tomorrow night really think this just might be our year !!!!!!!!!
