Football Focus

OK. I'm over it. Onwards and upwards until it goes tits up again which it will do inevitably because this is Spurs we're talking about here.

Oh! And I'll save you the time Parkdrive - "fcuk the scum. 61' never again."

[Parkdrive]

Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of Stoke and their approach to the beautiful game, just saying.

[Parkdrive]

Apparently Darren Fletcher taking an extended break from football as he's suffering from ulcerative colitis, I empathise as my eldest son has suffered with this for the past year and a half.

[Otta]

People inm my family have had that (well still do, but it's controlled by drugs). Not nice.

[Undisputedtruth]

Man City defeat at Stamford Bridge means the race for the premiership is still wide open. I'd say teams like Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Utd all have a shout. Spurs are genuine title contenders and were very unlucky against Stoke. I shall watch the forthcoming transfer window with interest.

No it isn't. My son takes 20 tablets a day to keep it under control. Perhaps the fact that such a high profile sportsman has it, may raise public awareness of this horrible illness. I wish Fletcher well.

I think you've misread Otta's post Parkdrive.

[????]

I think you've misread Parkdrives Jah

Otta ends "Not Nice" and PD starts "No it isn't". I think they are in agreement.

[Jah Lush]

Hmm... you may be right. I'm sure they'll correct me if I'm wrong and it looks like I may be.

Still, I wouldn't wish that particular illness on anyone. Sounds horrible.

I see some of the tabs have gone in for some very lazy journalism today with Spurs apparently in for Tevez at ?20 million and Kaka on loan. Yeah, right. We can't afford their wages packets for starters. Citeh are still paying Adebayor ?100,000 a week for him to play for us! This kind of spurious transfer speculation always seems to fill up space on the sports pages this time of year. Utter crap.

[Otta]

There will be plenty more of it no doubt.

And for the record, Quids is right above I think.

I absolutely agree it is not nice at all a horrible debilitating disease.

Talkshite presenter suggests Beckham to Man U for 6 months is a good idea. It's an interesting one but a good one?

[Jah Lush]

Yeah! Good one. A farewell tour for Man Utd before he departs for that next lucrative contract at Paris St Germain.

The Beckham Brand just keeps rolling along.

[Otta]

Just seen that the Suarez recism charge is finally being heard, with a result expected tomorrow.

[Parkdrive]

What's happened to John Terry's hearing?

[Bluerevolution]

Ignore.

[SCSB79]

Congratulations Celtic. Knocked out of the same competition twice and it's not even Christmas!!

[Mick Mac]

Little man.....

[SCSB79]

Ha ha, here little fishy. So easy to catch. I forgot, you're not allowed banter towards Celtic as that's "racist and bigoted" isn't it MM???

In trouble again maybe:

They weren't a problem for Spurs last season. Beat 'em home and away. Be good to see if Le Arse can match those results. ;-)

[Mick Mac]

Pleased to see Spurs drop out of europe last night, now they can concentrate on winning my 130/1 bet for me. :))

Just the first 8 words for me
