He's been very much involved though it seems Martins... making things happen with Smith. Just not hitting the target

Get in Buttster! Great chip apparently.

Smith having a good game apparently... about time he was given a go up front. First time in a while the starting eleven and line up feels natural. Everyone playing where they know how.

I guess so..

nope... nothing at all. In England at the moment, and it's pretty frustrating

Oh mama... Enrique in defense, Zoggy in midfield, Smith up front... good stuff! Confirmed NUFC Starting XI:

Involved in 3 of their 4 goals today. The lad is simply brilliant.

Think we'd beat the French though... I certainly hope so now!!

That we wouldnt beat New Zealand surely.

Actually I think the incidents and circumstances are very different, and very much warrant different outcomes. First of all throwing a flare at a player is vicious by nature and intending to harm... even if it wasnt meant to land on Dida, it could and did. Whereas the tap he received the other day had no other purpose than to take the piss. There have been some comments of the "what if he's been carrying knife" but with the amount of security checks you would get for a CL game makes it pretty unlikely. Claims of him possibly having a weapon are pretty moot i think. If anything taking the result away from Celtic and forcing them to play behind closed doors would not be showing parity at all! A fair outcome in terms of punishment would be: - fine and ban for fan in question - Maybe fine for Celtic also - couple games ban and fine for Dida end of story.

And all those times that Jimmy Jump popped on, same amount of "contact" with the player made also...

The smiley has never been more appropriate:

So another tick for the "Blatter is a biased idiot" count?

Actually I think the way ManUtd play, a direct and high tempo style, suits Rooney perfectly. He is one of the few English players who does warrant the hype.

Her Myspace page is truly terrible.

Got to love how they are calling an "attack" ... was a mere reflex pat football is so embarassing at times.

You'd think a pro sportsman would jump at the chance to be a bigger man confronted by a fan like that... Not footballers though. Embarassing to watch, get over yourself Dida man. I'd love to be a stretcher person at top footy games. Would come running out once or twice, but if a player would make you come out for nothing or jump back to his feet straight away that would be it. Would tell him we're not coming back out again for him even if his legs fall off. Probably wouldnt keep the job for long

Pretty ignorant comments... So Oba is a better, more useful player than Rooney? England are a different team when he takes part. We need him in there because he's an itelligent player who can create something out of nothing. How have England not missed him though?

Not improved since going to ManU? No better than Saha, Ashton or Martins? What a complete load of bullshit. The guy's a quality player and simlpy brilliant on a good day.

Well that was all very interesting to read

I live in France though. It's actually easier to get video streams than audio ones I find. All radio coverage is blocked off to people overseas. Proxy servers are your friend. Try FoxyProxy for firefox for easy management (apparently). Yeah I know there are ways around... just sayng it's even easier to actually watch it which is great, Internet these days certainly is a god send for all fans really (not only in foreign contries). Been able to watch almost every game of the past 2 seasons live.

I enjoy Robinson's clangers more and more every single time. The guy is a joke! It's every single week with him pretty much.

If they provided a quality service I'd certainly pay for it, but it's pretty shit. Even for that fee they were doing last year (£11)... not worth it.

What?
