    hhmm, I recon it must be a player that played for the Yugoslavia in one competition and one of the fragmented countries in another.
  5. Not seen the Nokia in action but have seen the ipod touch and was blown away by it, I'd be amazed if the nokia was better.

    Kanu? We have a winner! Who did he win the UEFA with ? Inter ?
  7. Liverpool's season of boardroom turmoil took another astonishing twist on Thursday when co-owner Tom Hicks asked for the resignation of chief executive Rick Parry. It is believed that a letter arrived at Anfield on Thursday - just 48 hours after Liverpool's successful passage into the UEFA Champions League semi-finals - demanding Parry's departure. Parry is currently in London at a Premier League meeting but he has been made aware of the communication and is expected to refuse to quit by return of post. This shock move from the Dallas-based co-owner is just another twist in the ongoing saga over control of the club, which reached a peak last month when talks between Hicks and Dubai International Capital broke down. Hicks was in London last week and watched both the Liverpool matches against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. But on Tuesday, Hicks was back in Dallas watching his Texas Rangers baseball team while co-owner George Gillett was shown on TV sitting next to Parry in the Liverpool directors' box during the 4-2 win over Arsenal. Unstable And this current development does nothing for the stability of the club ahead of Rafa Benitez's attempts to reach a third European Cup final in four years. However, with the club ownership split 50-50 between the two Americans, Hicks would not have been able to sanction Parry's dismissal, hence the letter received at Anfield on Thursday. Hicks was believed to have been enraged by an interview from Parry in which the chief executive pleaded with both co-owners to end the war or words between them and come to an agreement that would allow the club to move forward. It was Parry who was largely involved in bringing Gillett to the club 18 months ago, with the American bringing in Hicks for added financial muscle to get the deal through. Broken down At that point DIC believed they were on the brink of buying former chairman David Moores' majority holding, only for the deal to collapse at the last minute when Moores - now life vice-president and still a board member - changed his mind. Since then DIC have patiently worked towards a deal to buy out both Americans. It is believed that Gillett has agreed to sell his stake, but refuses to sell those shares to Hicks. The relationship between Gillett and Hicks has spectacularly broken down, with Parry at times finding himself in the middle trying to run the club effectively on a day-to-day basis. Now Hicks' camp clearly believe that Parry is siding with Gillett as the uproar rumbles on, which has prompted the request for his resignation.

    Another good shout. Not sure like. Aye: Norwich, Derby, Barnsley, Blackburn, Bradford. There're loads! I don't think Norwich were in the Premier League when he played for them.

    That's four then: Ferdinand, Sheringham, Cole, Carbone. They don't have to be strikers I suppose. Collymore ?

    Shit, I used to know the answer to this one, Benito Carbone is another.
  11. Newcastle chairman Chris Mort hopes Michael Owen will extend his contract at the club. The star striker is enjoying playing under new boss Kevin Keegan, netting in his last four games and his goal-scoring run has helped the Magpies to almost secure their Premier League future with three wins on the bounce. Mort is now confident the England ace will extend his stay at St James' Park. Asked if he expected Michael Owen to stay put, the Newcastle chairman told Sky Sports News: "I would hope so. "I think all the players are enjoying playing under Kevin, you can see that in the way they play and I would imagine Michael's in that camp as well, he seems to be enjoying his game. Makes sense "He's got his contract this year and next year but it obviously makes sense to sit down with Michael and secure him for the long-term if we can. "The first things we do is, again not talking about any players in particular, sit down with the manager and decide what the manager wants to do because he is the one who has to make the end decision on these things but I know that Kevin is very fond of Michael so I would hope we can sit down and do something." Mort confirmed they will be looking to bring in players to the club over the summer to bolster the squad. "We are no different to any other big club in the Premier League, we'll sit down with the manager at the end of the season," he said. "He will guide us on which players he would like to bring in, move on and we have deliberately gone out of our way to set up an infrastructure, we have had people looking at players throughout Europe over recent months and there will certainly be players in. "As Kevin has said, I think we have got a good quality set of players already but we will look to add to that in the summer." Big club Mort added that funds would be available to Keegan if he wanted to overhaul the squad. "We will sit down with Kevin, we are not going to do anything that isn't sensible for the long-term future of Newcastle United," he said. "We are a big club and we have funds available, we have got a great supporter base so we will help Kevin in the summer but we are not going to do anything silly with the funds available to us." But Mort would not comment on any specific names when asked if Jose Antonio Reyes and Ronaldinho were in the club's plans. He re-iterated: "We will sit down with the manager and have a chat with him about who he wants to bring in. "As I've said, everything we've done with the club we've looked to take a medium/long-term view so we are going to look for bringing in players who are going to be at Newcastle for a long time, so that is something we will look to do in the summer." http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/b...bctid1496340546

    tried a shutdown and restart ?
  13. Because he's a fucking prick ? I was looking for a bit more than that, I dont really get into the whole tabolid celeb life thing. I know he takes drugs, makes music (which I actually really like) and gets arrested for stupid things but I havent heard of anything he has done which makes him stand out more than your regular "off the rails" musician but he seems to get soo much stick. Was just wondering if I had missed something? I think I hate the beehive headed woman more like. No, No, No.

Was just wondering if I had missed something? That's fine, your opinion of him is tainted by your affection for his music, my opinion of him is tainted by me finding him possibly the most repugnant little cretin I can think of.

  16. Now I like Pulp Fiction but I have to say the bit where Travolta picks up Uma Thurman, takes her to the restaurant/dance, and she ODs was a load of pointless shite that added nothing to the rest of the film. In fact, I found Uma Thurmans character pointless and annoying. Again, I expect to find a horses head in my bed tomorrow for saying that Pulp Fiction is possibly my all time favorite movie, but I can fully understand how people can hate it.
  17. A view that has nothing to do with your scouse girlfriend of course Like I said, I couldn't care who'd won it all i was interested in seeing was a good game of football which is what we got... No-one enjoys winding her up more than me so your theory is counter-productive. To be fair though, who the fuck wants to have to listen to that lot crow about winning it again. No fucker !
