Possibly true but why is it that those words bring to mind gooners more than anyone else?

Peter Lawwell wants football fans to be treated like 21st century citizens with the right to drink alcohol.

Rugby fans are allowed a pint in Scotland while Hampden does a roaring trade selling booze at open air concerts.

English clubs are allowed to sell drink to their fans while Scottish supporters are treated as untrustworthy.

[Otta]

I remember going to the MCG in 2006 and they only sell this low alcohol lager because someone was killed there once by a bottle thrown by a drunk bloke. It wasn't worth drinking, so we didn't bother after the first one. That's not what a day at the cricket should be like!

Bit surprised there will be no appeal against the Suarez ban. Apparently the club left it up to him, and he's decided to accept it. Suppose he just feels there's no point trying, and it could even lead to a bigger ban.

I still think 10 matches is ridiculous, but there you go.

That's Liverpool buggered for the start of next season.

I didn't say we were or are you just being obtuse. Whatever way you cut it, we went 49 games unbeaten, and got a gold premiershop trophy for going a season unbeaten, that my friend WAS a first. Anything else you want to throw at me?

You are aware that the waynester had all but signed on the dotted line for the blue vermin, but it took a certain Celtic and ManU supporting ageging blonde rocker and the rather agitated attention of a matriachal element to stop waynester from putting his X on the ?250K a week after tax deal ?

I don't want to throw anything at you. I just get fed up with the everyone who leaves Arsenal is a tosser type of thing that you write. Why Arsenal are so better than say Spurs. Basically getting angry at what any footballer does that you don't like. Who gives a sh*t. It happens. You can't change clubs like a player can. You're stuck with it apart from the few 'fans' who actually change clubs. My father GRHS supported Man City when I was a kid........just to annoy me!

From what I've read his past problems were not taken into account when deciding on the ban. What would he have got if they were?

Just from the record, I've never thought that Henry, Pires, Viera, Overmars, Fabregas were tossers. Anelka, Van Pussy, Cole, Nasri absolutely. It's the way they went about. Happy now?

Just a shame most boozed up football fans can't act like 21st century citizens.

Surely West Ham's star is currently in the ascendent. Newly promoted and comfortably safe with 4 games to go. A shiny brand new(ish)stadium got for a song, which along with next season's new TV deal, means increased revenue to invest in the squad. Ok, looks like your stuck with BFS, but you can't have everything...

Half-time scores in the EDF Champions League Semi-Finals...

Mx 1 JL 0

OT 1 AM 1

Next week's predictions need to be PM'd to me...ta very much

Tuesday 30th April 2013

Real Madrid V Bor Dortmund

(agg 1-4)

Wednesday 1st May 2013

Barcelona V Bayern Munich

(agg 0-4)

[Alan Medic]

If the scores are level RD, what's the rule? If say both OT and I predict the same results then we would know it's a draw before the matches even happened.

[Otta]

I've just sent my predictions.
