You're more than a kind Matt.

I reckon Anna was giving it "The Big 'Un" personally...:'(

Are you trying to stir up Sherlock's sh!t Tony?

Shame, I've just heard the news that Ledley has left the England training camp to return to Spurs due to his knee problem. Did 'Arry complain that if he played for England he wouldn't recover in time for Spurs next match?..

[Jah Lush]

Well if he can't train for Spurs because of his persistant knee problem he can hardly train for England can he. He spends his whole time when the other players are training receiving treatment. It's a terrible shame for the boy and I really feel for him. But I remember Paul McGrath (Man Utd, Aston Villa) had a similar problem and was able to turn out for the Republic Of Ireland. So why not Ledley.

Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel has had his Old Trafford suspension lifted by the FA - so is now free to face Man Utd in 2 weeks time.

Not sure why Capello selected Ledley King, as surely he must have known about his chronic injury problems, which beggars the question why is Michael Owen continually snubbed..

With Steven Gerrard ripping up trees for Liverpool as the 2nd striker will Capello now pick Gerrard in same position for England at the expense of Wayne Rooney?

[red devil]

Maybe Paul McGrath's legendary alcohol intake helped numb the pain...

[matthew123]

Ledley King has already tried the Paul McGrath approach..

Not sure if this gonna work, but this is on Hamlets web site, my son plays for the Youth side, he is the lad standing in the middle of the back row and someone is holding a small red madal box in front of him.

it does work Atila but the picture remains stubbornly small - but fair play to you both and cheers for sharing

[Atila Reincarnate]

Is this better?

My lad is the one in the middle of the back row standing, someone is holding a red medal box in front of him.

A four-team friendly tournament will take place at Spur's ground White Hart Lane in London between July 24th and 26th this summer, which will include Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Glasgow Celtic and Egyptian champions Al Ahly Cairo.

[????]

Barcelona 8 Spurs 0

Celtic 8 Spurs 0

Al Ahly Cairo 8 Spurs 0

Are my initial predictions for that tournament

Ha ha. That really made me laugh - Sorry Jah Lush :-$

[Mick Mac]

There is talk of a swap - McGeady to Spurs and "Pile of chenko" to Celtic. In which case Spurs 8 Celtic 0 is more likely but Celtic directors would have made a ?2m profit and that is all they care about, balance sheets not football achievements. If we sell McGeady I'll not be best pleased.

[matthew123]

I was wrong!

Last time United had back to back PL defeats was actually 4 years ago (2004/05) - then lost a further 5 points in their final 5 PL games.

That season they also lost the FA Cup Final to Arsenal (Man Utd having earlier beaten Everton & Southamption), failed to win the Premiership and Liverpool were crowned European Champions - is there a pattern!?

[Keef]

Probably not.

[matthew123]

Wrong answer! ;-)

[Annasfield]

Hopefully but unlikely.

Now that is funny

I have to clean my screen now having laughed so much

thanks for making my day

[Jah Lush]

fucking cunts

[mockney piers]

ok, the executive box is now five places at ?90 a head for the Sunderland game, all money directly to a homeless chariddy Providence Row.

That's warm seats, Premiership action (though that may well be an ironic use of the word action), food and booze for ?25 more than a seat in the Bobby Moore stand.

If we don't get 5 we get 0. Come on you people, help a homeless person.

[????]

Mockney - I'll see if I can get a greencard but I'm a marginal, I'll try and let you know tomorrow.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Seat in the box ?90 4th April count me in if spaces Irons

[mockney piers]

more if enough take up, but consider yourself there if so.

[Atila Reincarnate]

What's this? Has nobody been moved by Engerlunds performance to wax lyrical about it??? Can't say I blame you.
