Aye, I suppose, grudgingly (and it was your idea!).
To suggest that they don't need told what to do when they are haemorrhaging goals is not the kind of thing that inspires confidence.
True, but we did keep a clean sheet, and score goals, IN THE SAME GAME, for the first time since the cup final.

when chelsea played valeranga a few years back the brilliant bonkers valeranga fans pretended to milk a cow every time flo got the ball because apparantly they think he's a bit of a bumpkin. it was great! the action (both arms outstretched pulling up and down) caught on at the bridge for a while but has since faded, but valerange are still very fondly remembered.
they also jumped up and down together really well.

"tell all the huns you know, that they'll never sell Ricksen or Flo"
Oh, happy days. Except both Ricksen and Flo are still in the Champions League. And someone *was* stupid enough to buy him, therefore ruining our song.

Good effort by Celtic. There were some great photos of Hartson's Motherwell goals in the NOTW this weekend. Typical Hartson goals; i.e an ugly bald head surrounded by defenders' boots and a grimace that could make a child cack with fright.

Bring on Brügge! Our coach Rekdal played a number of seasons in Belgium, and should know his Belgian football. Quite tempted to go to the away game...
Pete W: That cow-milking thing is still current, though obv not at Flo anymore, now he's on Our Side. Mikey G: Indeed, Siena.

Hyypia's awful passing needs to be sorted out, how many times does he just feck the ball up the pitch to nobody? It's really irritating. Sissoko looks very good but there's still nobody creative enough in the team, they need a flair player really badly.

Artmedia Bratislava have made it to the group stage after a penalty shoot-out in Belgrade.
COME ON THUN

Well done Liverpool. You look just like the sort of team that will fluke your way to a Champions League title again.
(XPOST Artmedia Bratislava are the BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD!)

Actually, has he not got a completely different face now? Those sidies are pathetic.
Did not watch Liverpool, preferring to wait for Rob Bonnet's precis this morning.
Little Michael to Everton? Given his love of Champions League football, a lot could depend on tonight's result.

Defender Rio Ferdinand, who recently signed a new four-year deal at the club, was also asked if he had spent his pay rise yet.

As United arrived at Budapest airport, a United fan spotted David Gill:
Red: You’ve fucked us over big time there Gill. I can’t believe you’ve sold us out.
Gill: (looks perplexed, doesn’t know what to say. Enter Fergie)
Red: You’ve fucked us over too, you could’ve spoke out about it.
Fergie: I’ve got close mates who’ve been working with me here for 15 years. They come first in all this.
Red: So don’t the fans come first?
Fergie: Well I suppose they do come somewhere.
Red: You what? That’s well out of order.
Fergie: Well if you don’t like it go and watch Chelsea.
Red: The fans have been screwed right over. It costs me £20-odd a game now as it is.
Fergie: It costs more than that at Chelsea, go and watch them.
[Red storms off, and spots Ferdinand: "Oi you greedy cunt, how you spending your pay rise?"]
