Would prefer 4-4-2, as historically that's all we've ever been able to play. But its the results the matters so hope this 4-3-3 works out.

Reigning doesn't necessarily mean current.

Watching Shamrock Rovers v Real Madrid. 0-0 at half time. Michael O'Neill is the manager of Shamrock. According to the commentators, Shamrock can be proud of keeping "the world's current best player" from scoring. Have Real signed Messi?

Anybody watching University Challenge? Methinks the female team captain of UCL should be checked for a cock and balls.

Looks like the link is phucked.

Some folk have the same names in the sweep? Who's running this shambles?

Always fancied visiting Damon Albarn's bar in Reykjavik.

Points to Smooth for Walter Cronkite passing away.

He'll drop his kegs for a fiver.

The gaelic league?

Where did you get that from? Do Celtic definitely get one of those teams? (if they win)

Could we maybe keep things on topic?

MMG.

There's a mention up now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8155470.stm

We're in group 5? http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=847068.html This mean we can only draw the following? IF Elfsborg (SWE) - Haladás FC (HUN) SK Sigma Olomouc (CZE) - Fram Reykjavík (ISL) FBK Kaunas (LTU) - FK Sevojno (SRB) HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) FK Rabotnicki (MKD) - Crusaders FC (NIR)

If the away leg is first, then there's only a week between the 2nd leg of the 2nd qualifying round, and our match, which makes it pretty tricky to get time off and arrange the trip. Secretly hoping we get some minnow in the middle of nowhere, that we can hump, and get a good tie in the next round.

I take it he returned to Man City?
