What a silly game soccer is - thank god I married a man who likes a sensible sport like snooker.

Ah but we have the smoking ban now so its smokey no more.  Have you been home since the ban?  Its brill - no more smelling like 20 johnny blue in the morning even if you gave up 10 years ago!

Yeh Rolo agree entirely on Metatarsal (if thats how you spell it)

Couldnt bring themselves to say broken toe  didnt sound serious enough .

When Liam sprained his foot playing footie was convinced he had fractured his metatarsal

Feel sorry for Rooney as he will miss out on Worls Cup but hes young enough to squeeze a few more in yet.

Snooker ok girls but you cant beat the auld footie

Blondie I'm not a snooker girl - hate it.  I must admit I like to watch golf and will take it up in the not so distant future.  Always liked footie and played for years myself back home but living here in the states we don't get to see it that much.  The crew are the local team and my old lad goes to all the games.  He loves it but I think he will be a track and field guy next year with school.

So wot happened to your lot at the weekend ??? Was expecting a great match and was disappointed dont think utd turned up to play at all. Am sure Rooney wishes he had'nt.



We were crap against Chelsea and then couln't beat Middlesborough....jaysus Liverpool could get second if we don't beat Charlton this weekend.

Feel sorry for Rooney. He's a big loss for United and bigger loss for England although I hate the way the English press go on. You'd swear he was the only player they had.


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

Tell ya Blondie, really fancied Palace before the Play Offs started......

Now it's there for the taking, we've beaten Watford twice this season already ( which of course means that if they get to the final, as they should,they'll hammer us.)News Article: Play-Off Final Ticket Procedures - Please Read

( That's Killer and The Incredible Hulse celebrating the first goal last night.)

All due respect to Preston,Watford and Palace, but The Premiership needs a strong Leeds team with 40,000 lunatic supporters every home game.( Actually more like 25,000 lunatic supporters and 15,000 blow in, fair weather,prawn sandwich types.)

Yeah, could handle a trip to Ashburton Grove,sounds like a plan.

What's the story with Theo Walcott ? Nearly crashed the car yesterday when I heard that.

Sorry Pete, have to disagree. He wasted millions on Robbie Keane, Seth Johnson and Robbie Fowler who were not needed, wrote that stupid book which only served to alienate the players and generally seemed to lose the plot towards the end. Granted,Peter Ridsdale has to take a major share of the blame but I think O'Leary had lost sight of where the club was going and how to get there.

Rolo.

Yeh Rolo I know dont get Theo walcott at all was saying to Liam this morning it doesnt make sense he has'nt even played in the premiership as far as I know and going to world cup.

Only thing I could think off is poss eligble to play for another country (like Us !!!) and england want to box him in good and quick.

Feel sorry for sean wright Phillips thought he should definatly been picked ahead of Theo.

 

Need to know in simple terms how you get pics on to your posts ?????????
