Yo Blondie. Great win for Man U yesterday.........taught Arsenal a real lesson.....9 wins on the trot....pity we hadn't this form earlier in the season......Rooney outstanding....I think O'shea is playing well..........defense great and Vidic good signing.......if not this year we'll win the Priemiership next year and do very well in Europe. |

Hey Pat was wondering when I'd hear from you. Will have too agree felt Arsenal were out played by utd as much as it pains me too say it. Just wished Chelsea had lost as well would have made me feel a whole lot better if the gap was narrowed to 4 points . Am trying to console myself with the fact that we are in semi finals in Europe this year !!! |

It will be 4 points after tomorrow night  . We play Sunderland at home.I have no affection for Arsenal but I really think you have an outstanding chance of winning the Champions League this year. Not easy to say  |

We are called the Sunderland result the wrong way. Afraid that's the Premiership gone for this year.

Ah Pat dont give up yet
 Am pinning all my hopes on match against Chelsea themselves. Reckon if you can win that it will really rock there boat and you just might be able to sneak the title.

Thanks for that Blondie but I think its a bridge too far now. If we win at Chelsea great but we'll blow them away next year....  Edited by Biker Pat |

Whatcha reckon Blondie , enough done tonight ? I they don't make it, they'll be kicking themselves after tonight. Wouldn't worry yet, you're always good for an away goal, then it's game over. Come on The Gooners !!!!!!!! Rolo. |

Felt quite tense watching dont know if it will be enough really hope its not going to be one of those "We wos robbed stories" Will just have too wait and see if Henri can get an away goal for us. U reckon Barca will beat Milan ? |

Yeah I do now. Thought Milan would've had to at least get a Nil Nil at home to have a chance. Barca can kill them on the break now that they have to chase a goal. Listen, you've not conceded a goal in 9 CL games. That's an astonishing record. One away goal and it's ball burst, game over. Rolo. |

Yeah, not sure where we're gonna finish, could still be 3rd 4th 5th or 6th and that dictates who we play. Reckon we're running out of steam a bit now though after a long season. Hopefully one last push will do it. Rolo. |

Football Football.... I went through a phrase of following Liverpool in the 80's. A guy in the class cousin was Ronnie Whelon so we all thought we were great. Also one of my son's first words was Liverpool.

I agree Rolo so what you reckon is this going to our year ??? The one and only time I saw Dublin play in final at Croke Park was 1983 I think played Galway loads and loads of people well about 5 got sent off but Dublin won. Was on the Hill that day magic have to say these days when I go to a game its seats all the way |

Ah yeah, but we're not there are we, courtesy of Mr.Kerr's chicken tactics against Israel ( twice ) As for the Dubs,you're probably right but ya just gotta support 'em anyway. Reckon we'll be a bit better than last year ( although semi final against Laois is going to be a real hard game ). Unlucky not to beat Tyrone the first day,reckon we could have done Armagh had we managed it. Anyway,love the Championship Sundays in the summer. Me and me small fella go to Croker every week, no matter who is playing. Blondie, remember that day in '83 well. Brian Talty ( Galway midfielder and alleged recipient of famous dig at half time in tunnel ) was a teacher in our school at the time and I've met him many times since. Can't get him to spill the beans on what happened that day though. Rolo. |

you're right of course nothing like a full croke park to get the blood boiling but too many games there last year that had small crowds, need to keep some of those larger games down in the provinces. how do you stand on the whole opening up issue?

In theory I agree with the games going to the provinces. Against that, I just love going, as I said, no matter who is playing so there'll be less matches to go to. On Rule 42, I'm also a Republic Of Ireland soccer nut and think it would be deadly to see the home games played there, imagine the atmosphere. As for Rugby, just dont like it so don't care. But with a GAA Members hat on and casting aside the financial side of it, gonna be difficult seeing the Union Jack flying and listening to their anthem next March. Pat, footballer's Ciaran Whelan, Raheny born and bred, Hurler's Conal Keaney, from Ballyboden St.Enda's ,best hurler in Dublin but playing football instead. Rolo. |
