speaking of which, do you prefer a particular type of cloth? In terms of skid sheet or wank mop ?

Aye he was shite at Barcelona wasn't he? It was a good six months ago he was (arguably) the motm in the European Cup final. Quite right, he was the difference between the two teams. A great player.

The Belgravia Group remains keen on a deal for Newcastle and would like to be in control for the transfer window. The Jersey-based group was expected to launch a £235m takeover earlier this month that failed to materialise. But a spokesman told BBC Sport: "We are still in talks which may or may not lead to a deal but from our perspective we are still very keen to do a deal. "The transfer window is approaching and I think from both parties' perspective that is something to focus the minds." Investment group Belgravia made its interest in the club public in the summer but so far the company has yet to make an offer for the Premiership club. And Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd told BBC Sport: "They made a statement in August saying they may or may not make a bid. "They can say what they like but they have yet to make an offer and until they make an offer we cannot say anything." But the Belgravia spokesman confirmed that it is still interested in a takeover. He added: "Were we to make an offer or were we to cease our talks or they were to cease talks with us they would have to make an announcement to the stock exchange. "None of which has been done so you can presume that talks are ongoing. "We are in discussions with the board of Newcastle which means we are talking to all the shareholders." The Magpies have been the subject of takeover rumours for months, with former chairman Sir John Hall admitting he has held discussions about selling his 28.5% share in the club. Current chairman Shepherd appears more reluctant to sell and has been steadily increasing his share in the club to 28.01%. The Belgravia spokesman confirmed that it would be looking to buy out both Hall and Shepherd. He added: "I think Polygon expressed an interest in buying one of Hall's or Shepherd's stake but we have said all along that we are interested in buying the whole thing. "Because it is a quoted company that means making an offer for all the shares in the company. "Hopefully we can come to terms on a deal that suits everybody - when that point comes Newcastle PLC will have to make a statement. "It would be premature and disrespectful to the fans to talk about what we may of may not want to do as we don't own it. "Were we to make an offer you have to disclose what financing plans are and what you are going to do and at that point we will outline in detail what our plans for the club would be. "If you want to make money out of football clubs you need a successful team on the pitch. "But Newcastle has a fantastic infrastructure, a fantastic fanbase, they are a big club, have a developed ground with good facilities and are one of the premier football brands in Europe." "In an ideal world things would happen sooner rather than later but negotiations take time.

Necessitated as a result of the police being a racist organisation I would say. and further division and alienation being the solution, GREAT. By that logic, no minority group should ever be allowed to acknowledge itself as such. My comment was suggesting that should a "White Police Federation" have been set up it would be instantly branded racist, however a black version has clearly been tolerated, a racially themed group does little to enhance unity, and is another barrier in my opinion. The difference is that whites generally don't need protecting. I don't deny that, and was never my point.

Albert Luque has confirmed he would gladly accept a return to Spain with Villarreal. The Newcastle striker has failed to live up to his £10 million price tag since arriving in England from Deportivo La Coruna in 2005. A host of clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Real Mallorca and Bordeaux have been linked with January bids for the 28-year-old. Villarreal joined the chase for his signature earlier this week and now Luque has admitted he knows of their interest and would be only too happy to seal a move to El Madrigal. "I know that they have asked about me, like other teams from Spain, but there has been no concrete offer," he admitted. "Things happen at the moment at which the interested parties negotiate and all the possibilities are then table." Luque admits he is not enjoying his time in the North East. "Life is not going to very well for me in England," he told AS. "I get little games and therefore I am not happy. "If in the future some option exists to return to Spain, I will like it and it would benefit Newcastle as much as me." Much of the interest in Spain centres around a possible loan move, but Luque admits that neither he or Newcastle would be happy with that. "I do not want to be loaned, because that would not be good for the club I go to or Newcastle. "If I do well then big money will be asked for me and if it goes bad then that [a transfer] will not happen. "For that reason the best thing for me would be a move." Luque admitted that the Yellow Submarines represented a 'dream' option for him. "It is a team that aiming for more and has a great squad," he added. "So why would I not go there? If the possibility exists and they do it, it would be a dream."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6192264.stm Illegal net sport faces crackdown By Ian Youngs Entertainment reporter, BBC News Sports authorities are taking action to stop illegal live coverage of football and other events over the internet. Almost all English Premiership matches are available to watch live and for free, as are other leagues and sports. The coverage, mainly from Chinese sport channels, is put on peer-to-peer applications and can be watched anywhere in the world. As well as football, some sites are also claiming to offer live cricket action from The Ashes in Australia. The FA Premier League, Uefa, Cricket Australia and other sport bodies have employed a company called NetResult to police the internet for unauthorised video. NetResult's Tim Cooper said it had seen "good success" in stopping broadcasts on the Chinese services, but it was an "ongoing challenge". "We're gradually working the numbers down and down, so unfortunately it's a bit of a lengthy process," he said. "You could shut a website down today but tomorrow another 10 will appear. "We're fighting a continual battle because people will always try and jump on and off certain services and new technology is always evolving." Mr Cooper said NetResult was in constant contact with the managers of peer-to-peer applications like PPLive and PPMate to have illegal content removed. Some matches are also streamed directly from individual sites and NetResult said it was lobbying internet service providers to shut these down. Premier League spokesman Tim Vine said most offending sites had been taken down for contravening intellectual property rights. 'Clamp down' "It is clearly a difficult area to patrol," he said. "However, we will continue to make every effort to protect our rights holders and clamp down on these sites." No live Premiership matches are yet available legally online anywhere in the world. But from next season, Sky and Setanta Sports - who have won the rights to show Premiership matches on TV in the UK until 2010 - will also be able to broadcast them legally on the internet. NetResult is also trying to stamp out illicit live coverage of The Ashes. "At the moment there are some sites that are offering it," Mr Cooper said. "But the majority of them we're managing to shut down in swift time." The BBC has the rights to stream recorded highlights to UK internet users, while Sky Sports is sending clips to mobiles.
