Jimbo

He's irritating on that Big Brother show, but I've got to admit I thought he was superb on Friday night with Jonathan Ross the other week.

Barca sign Thuram and Zambrotta Thuram and Zambrotta faced each other in the World Cup final Barcelona have won the race to capture Juventus defenders Lilian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta following the Italian club's relegation to Serie B. Thuram, 34, has signed a two-year deal, while the 29-year-old Zambrotta has put pen to paper on a four-year contract. Juventus were relegated and will start next season with a 30-point penalty after the match-fixing scandal which rocked Italian football. Spanish media reports suggest Barca have paid a combined fee of £13m. The pair will join their new team-mates on Barca's tour of Mexico and the USA. France's Thuram and Italy's Zambrotta both enjoyed outstanding tournaments in the World Cup, facing each other in the final. Thuram, who has also had spells with Monaco and Parma, was part of the France squad which won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. He won 121 caps for France before calling an end to his international career after his country's defeat to Italy on penalties in the final. Meanwhile, Zambrotta - who can also play full-back on either flank - spent two seasons with Bari before moving to Juventus in 1999. He has 58 caps for Italy. Thuram's spokesman told BBC Sport earlier this week that the veteran defender had been in heavy demand from top clubs throughout Europe. "Clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Arsenal and Chelsea have been asking about Lilian," he said. Many star players are expected to leave Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina in the wake of Italy's match-fixing scandal. Juventus lost Italy's World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro and Brazil midfielder Emerson to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Damien Duff's days at Stamford Bridge appear to be numbered after Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho conceded he would allow the player to leave. The Republic of Ireland wide man has been the subject of an unsuccessful bid from Tottenham to draw him across the capital after an initial offer of £5 million was rebuffed. It is expected that Spurs will up the ante in the next few days as they close on the signature of a player that on arriving from Blackburn, forced Chelsea to fork out £17 million for his services. The arrival of Michael Ballack will only increase competition for places in the champions' engine room and again, Duff will in likelihood often play second fiddle to the likes of Joe Cole and Arjen Robben should he elect to stay and fight for a regular starting berth. In typically candid fashion Mourinho has spoken of Duff with admiration but concedes that ultimately, he would not stand in the player's way if he desired pastures new. ''It is not true that Duff didn't play much last season - he played two more games than the season before and was injured,'' said Mourinho. "I have an open relationship with Duff and we have talked about all possibilities. ''He's a player I'm happy to keep, not desperate to keep. I like Damien Duff as a player and a person. "I've listened to him for a couple of hours and understand what is going through his mind."

Typical ! so whats this parsley sauce on my cod for tea then ? tastes a bit salty...

Well mines 3.2 megapixal, beat that! 162326[/snapback] This ones 5 megapixel but looks vile

I'm off to the Norwich match next week, £12 for a seat in the River end.

Sandals with white socks tbh

There's nothing similar for a built in card is there? I've bought an edimax repeater but its a nightmare to setup, or more likely I'm just being very stupid. 162190[/snapback] That one replaces the usual "Rats tail" style antenna, if you haven't got an antenna socket I'm not sure what you can use.

Its takes the best photo's of any camera-phone I've seen.

Thats a cracking phone, I'm tempted with one next time, although I usually stick with Nokia, but the recent Sony-Ericsson's have looked very impressive

Probably couldn't keep your kecks up. 162182[/snapback] Aye, I'm sure I had a belt around here somewhere............

is anyone honestly giving this story credibility ?

It was my daughter's sports day on Tuesday and I was quite relieved to see some competitive activities, however most were one on one, team vs team rather than against a number of children, this might have been to avoid the shame of finishing last, however there was a lot of emphasis on which team was winning. There was even a dads race, personally I blame the 5-a-side match for my shocking performance, most dads were able to sprint, whilst I was forced to hobble.

I think you'll find its more to do with not having a logo dominating the shirt, the Barca identity is more important than a sponsors logo, I don't recall them ever denying not making money from shirt deals.

I've got a name to google: Walter Mitty

Shock horror, football clubs making money from shirt sponsorship, the very thought !

unicef..... not an electronics giant as such. but they have been in serious negotiations with betandwin.com and others of their ilk as well as the bejing olympics. if barca are so great for not having a shirt sponsor why don't more people get excited about athletic bilbao? 162059[/snapback] Its the red and white striped shirt tbh

and rumous of Thuram going to Barca. I hope that transfer will happen too. El Classico will be tremendous. Shame the new Real kits are so shite 162043[/snapback] Aye the new Barca one is so basic.

I had similar problems, until I got one of these: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/75614 I went from struggling to get a signal to being able to pick up 4 networks from my neigbours !

I'll be interested to see how morientes gets on, I've never bought him before

Good, he's a bellend, he'll fit right in at the San Giro stadium !

Good, I feared Cannavaro was heading the Chelski or ManUre.
