    I think we blew a great chance in greece and I think it will be touch and go. I thought panathonikos were a really poor team. People were going on about how they were a really good team at home but I didnt see that. I think its vital we at least get a point from the 2 games against Man U. You are right when you say we would get beat by the "big boys" but to be in Europe after Christmas would be a big achievment for the club.

    Yeah, it would be a massive achievement for the club, no doubt. However, your main striker is now out for atleast 2months, maybe anything up to 6 months. You still have a good defense but thats gonna hurt you a bit. Who knows what happens, we will all find out soon enough. We play you at ibrox on 22nd of October, a crucial match for you. If you loose it, well i dont think you can beat us when we play you on the 4th November at Old Trafford.

    Disappointing from Liverpool today. I was relying on them to hold Arsenal to atleast a draw so that we could go top of the table. Unfortunately they couldnt even do that at home. I think its time to say bye bye to Gerarg Houllier once and for all and send him packing back to france and boring football. Need someone who can organise the team to play with players like Gerard and Kewell.

    On another point, Rangers were defeated at home by Celtic. I really enjoyed that. Well done to Celtic. This leads me on to my next point. How do Rangers expect to get anything of United, even at the Ibrox, when they can even beat celtic at home. We beat celtic 4-0, so in relation to Rangers, BRING IT ON :D :D

    Man Utd kick off soon, its feckin well not on feckin tv feckin again. God damn it! I have to wait until SUnday night to watch it. That no showing football at 3pm rule has to be completely kicked out. its the stupidist rule ever. Fuckin English FA. Grrrrr

    Oh yes Chelsea are playing Middlesborough toady at 2pm on channel 433 on Sky for UK users. Im hoping for Chelsea defeat, since those buggers arsenal managed to beat the pathetic Liverpool at home. Gerard Houllier needs to GO. I was hoping for a loss for Arsenal and Chelsea, leaving United top of the table and chelsea position of a game in hand eliminated. Ah well....pleanty of time yet :D

    It was lucky - i dont think they deserved it, but thats football. Barcelona back to their loosing ways LOL. 0-1 at home to Valencia who played an excellent defencive game after scoring their only goal. Saviola came on in the 90th minute, but someone of that talent should have either started or come on a lot earlier. Old Frank is not delivering at the Neu Camp.

    Anyone know why Denilson (who plays for Real Betis) has changed his shirt number from 16 last season to 11 this season??

    Congratulations to Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal.

    AC Milan 3-1 Inter

    To anybody who has yet to see Shevchenko or Nesta (AC Milan), watch them play a couple of games then revise whatever you think your World Eleven should be. He shares the goalscoring lead with Parma's young prodigy Adriano, at 6 goals in 5 games.

    AC Milan scored 3 goals yesterday against a defense that hadn't been beaten all season long. The loosers are the same squad that trampled Arsenal in England 3-0.

    By Germany 06' (next world cup), the 21yr old brazilian Kaka will become one of the most coveted playmakers in the world. By then, Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo, Scholes, Keane than the like will be well past their prime (most are going over the top as we speak).

    Anyway, anybody got any ideas on who we can expect to make a name for themselves in the next world cup (or in Euro 04') besides Kaka, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Adriano (Parma)?

    If only Darren Fletcher played for a better side cuz scotland are shite. I hope to see Damian Duff standing out for ireland as well as Wayne Rooney playing for England. I think you are right with Ronaldo standing out. oun C.Torres should also be an excellent forward.

    Heres hoping Scotland get to the playoffs on saturday. I know we are shite but to get to the playoffs would be excellent. We just need to win and hope the germans get a point against Iceland. I have not seen much of Darren Fletcher. Is he a good player oriphus?

    What do you guys make of the Rio Ferdinand issue. My view is he should be banned for failing to take that drugs test. All the other Man U boys took it. Poor excuses from Rio..."I was moving house"..LOL. I do hope England beat the Turks though, I hope all the home nations do well.

    Darren Fletcher is a very promising young player. He looks like he is going to fit in very well. He put in a few crosses in his last game and you wouldve sworn it was David Beckham, Ole Gunner Solskjaer or even Cristiano Ronaldo. I have high hopes for him, but i would rather see Ole Gunner playing, then Cristiano Ronaldo and then Fletcher in that order. But his time will come.

    In regards to the Rio Ferdiand issue. He was not at the ground when the drugs tests were being taken. He was moving house at the time. He reported he had missed it within 2 hours and was told he couldnt have it done on that day. He has never failed a drugs test in his entire career and the one 36hours later was proved negative too. I honeslty believe that the FA need to take responsibility for the matter and not the player. The players have more important things on their minds than drugs tests no doubt. A mistake can be made. the fact that he reported it within 2 hours and was not allowed to take it then, says a lot for the FA. I hope nothing happens on Monday. Frankly, im glad he is not off to Turkey as its less chance of him getting injured :-D

    Well, it ended up being 0-0 in the England match, a good performance by England considering the predicament they were in at the Turkish ground. Now, disappointingly, ireland were beaten 2-0 by the Swiss and are not out fo the competition. Man Utd ace Fletcher came on to score for Scotalnd in their 1-0 win to put them through to the play-offs. Im very disappointed with ireland. They have a better quality side than the scots and are rated higher than them. Its disappointing for them to lose and not go through. We deserve better results than taht. However, the Irish will no doubt say, 'we did well in getting this far'. Thats a load of crap. As Roy Keane always says, its not good enough to say we did well getting this far, people should expect more of their team and maybe the team will deliver more.

    Anyway, looking forward to the Champions league against Rangers. That should be a good night. I bought a ticket from my mate for £80 and just sold it for £400 on ebay. He feels stupid now LOL. Im going to try to get a ticket for the Home match against them. Im hopefully going to the blackburn game as well.

    My ticket for the Man U game at Ibrox was only £25. Ive not got a ticket for Old Trafford but Im still going down with a few mates. I think the Man City boys will be up for a good swally with the rangers fans that day.

    Shame on you oriphus. I dont like ticket touts for the simple reason they stop the true supporters getting to the matches. I noticed that the tickets for Man U at Ibrox were being sold at £500 on ebay.

    Im well pleased Scotland got that win. We are are a really shite team but have managed to get to the playoffs. I hope we get Wales from the draw on Monday if not we have no chance of making the Euro Championships. I am however pleased Ireland didnt make it to the playoffs. The reason......every single Rangers player that plays in Ireland gets the nasty treatment from the supporters. I touch of bigotry going on there methinks.

    No, there wasnt much excitement in the game but England did get the result. I believe Chelskov are playing at 7.45 tonight.
