31327[/snapback] The injury that he picked up against Spain was supposed to be an ankle knock, wasn't it? I don't see how that's related to his hamstring going tbh.

Happy birthday mate. Have a good un.

Nice one Harmison. Langer oot and covers going on.

Wear what you like Pud, there's no dress code.

Class.

Jesus, BBC News 24 has Toadfish off Neighbours and a ventriloquist's dummy of St. George doing the analysis on their sports bulletin for the cricket. Fucking hell.

It's raining at the Oval. Shame.

Coleman's man-management skills are rather worrying if that's the case. 31153[/snapback] Random Rodney Marsh story: When playing for England Sir Alf Ramsey was giving his pre-match teamtalk and announced "Rodney, if you're not playing well I'll have to pull you off at half time", to which Marsh replied "That sounds interesting, boss. At Manchester City we just get some oranges and a cup of tea." That was his last cap for England.

More footage there on the BBC of a training session with Luque flinging himself in on a challenge with Dean Saunders and everyone having a good laugh about it. Looks like he might be settling in an'all. Happy days.

Nah, I didn't see that bit. Hopefully it makes a difference though to be playing with a partner up front that you really get on with. Well.....we'll see later I suppose.

A lie in? We're meeting at 1pm you lazy fucker!

Just seen a snippet from a press conference with Owen and Shearer. Owen's going on saying that he thought he'd never get to play with Shearer again to which Shearer pipes up "I'm not as quick as I was 5 years ago mind". Owen's response: a chuckling "Nor am I". Anyway, not the funniest story in the world, but I'm looking forward to this one today.

If its a direct quote then that is exactly what he's saying. Because he says it was "nothing to do with the fact i didn't get on with Souness" it means that even if that's not the reason he left, he didn't get on with him. 30916[/snapback] You're both making it mean what you want it to mean. Read it for what it is - an unfortunately phrased sentence. It's clearly been put to him that he didn't get on with Souness and all he's doing is saying "No, that's not why I left. It had nothing to do with me not getting on with Souness at all". But you two believe what you want to believe. 30927[/snapback] As i said if its a direct quote then he is saying he didn't get on with Souness, if its because he's unable to use the english language properly its hard for me (somebody who can) to decipher that from here! Personally i couldn't give a shit what he is or isn't saying and i'm not believing what i want to believe. If that was the case i'd have said Souness acted like a child with him and then drove him out the club for less than he was worth, but that happened with another player entirely 30931[/snapback] Seriously though, if that's what he'd said, if he'd let slip to a journalist that he didn't get on with Souness, then the article would make a lot more of it than it does, and he'd have been quizzed a lot further on it - no way would a journo let that one go. The fact that he wasn't quizzed further tells me that that's not what he was saying.

Weather forecaster Gemmill reports as follows: 10AM Saturday: 1PM Saturday: 4PM Saturday: So there's a canny bit of rain all day tomorrow in London. Just depends if it falls on the Oval I suppose. And the Met Office are even saying there's a chance of showers on Sunday at the Oval.

He isn't saying that he "didn't get on with Souness at all". He's saying that his reasons for leaving had nothing at all to do with not getting on with Souness.

I've got three words for you: Men. At. Work.

Away and shite! 30827[/snapback] Thinking of you saying that with your manc accent just doesn't sound right. Is there no manc equivalent you could have used? 30828[/snapback] Shut yer trap I say shut yer trap Ashleh.

I didn't. He really is ruffling the suspect* as we speak. *special legal wank reference especially for mancy.

They've taken it. Soft Australian shites.

Clouds are looking packed with lovely juicy rain and the light has gone all to fuck. Lovely jubbly. Batsmen being offered the light.

GOLD

Covers going on and it's raining lightly now apparently. Trust it to start at tea. EDIT - might even just be precautionary.

That's mancy's weekend wank material sorted.
