Betting wise, Barca are twice as likely to win than Frankel was.

What are the odds on Celtic to score a goal, regardless of final score?

"It really has been just a communication problem. Obviously as the manager of a club, when you lay down policy you don't want to see it ignored and that's where my anger came from on Saturday. "But we have resolved the situation and there are no lingering problems and we move on. That's the end of the matter."


But rested him now against Braga. Just to make sure he understands or to be ready for Chelsea..

(Mail) Rio Ferdinand is planning to revolutionise English football with the launch of a breakaway union to protect the interests of black footballers? The union ? which has a working name of The Federation of Black Players but will be open to players from all ethnic backgrounds who share a desire to combat racism in English football ? will be self-funded by professionals at every level.

(Guardian)

Rio Ferdinand has quickly moved to downplay reports that he is working on the formation of a new footballers' union - specifically, but not uniquely for black players. "Don't believe all u read", he advised his almost three-and-a-half million Twitter followers, before reverting to matters more commonly discussed in his feed - on this occasion, shaving methods and products.

Maybe, but credit where credit's due, he has always been vocal in support of such campaigns.


Yesterday on a 5Live phone-in, Phil Brown was a guest on a debate about t-shirtgate.

His first contribution was to ask what do we now consider to be racist. Perplexed, the presenter asked for clarification, and Brown went on to cite that he gets called suntan and tango...scary

That's a stupid comparison by Phil Brown.


Anyway, I think Ferdinand's injury problems over the years have caught up with him and when the time comes for him leave Man Utd it will be for that reason and that reason only that SAF will let him go. He can no longer play two or three games a week and that's why he's rested for the game against Braga.

I used to be a Ferguson hater, I thought he was a nasty piece of work, but he seems to have mellowed, and realised that there is more to life than winning at football. The last couple of seasons I have found myself respecting and agreeing with a lot of things he is saying.

Ferguson is a very intelligent bloke. He is smarter than his players and smarter than most in the media, so few are brave enough to challenge him without risking having egg on their face.


Those who do challenge his rule tend to be the losers in the end.


But I agree with Otta, he is less abrasive now and more communicative, hence we see the best of him more regularly. But he still has a huge ego and cross him at your peril.

He's right. Should have been 6 or 7 to Barca. Should read Barcelona 2 - Forster 1 as he alone kept you from a mauling.

Having watched the whole game, that was justice served in the last minute. We got slaughtered by the press for parking the bus against Barcelona and you did exactly the same. At any one time tonight for long periods in the game there were 21 players inside the Celtic half of the pitch.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
