i thought they had £70m to spend? Could they not afford a pair of shorts for poor old Poldolski (?) with 2 legs?
 
Sunderland have signed another player, a 19-year-old Greek winger called Charis Mavrias and Norwich have brought in ex-Bolton striker Johan Elmander from Galatasaray.
Lots of signings for both sides, so I guess there'll be some pressure on their managers to get results.
 
Carragher's discussing the problem with trying to mark van Persie and Neville agrees.
The ex-Manc then adds: "He's a bit like a burglar in your house and you don't know which room he's in."
JC: "You'd be under the bed!"
GN: "And you'd probably be the burglar!"

Thanks for the translation. <cheers> Google clearly needs to add Scouse and Manc translators. A little conversation I once had.

Scouse girl: "Ey ya saxy bahstahd! Gi us a nosh!

Ya think he knows English? Ya think he undah STANDS meh.

Me: "I know English, and I didn't understand you."
 
"Celtic hopes dented by Shakhter" is the headline on the bbc.
"Jeez, tough draw for a prelim round" I think before I read down:

Celtic's hopes of Champions League progress are dented as Shakhter Karagandy take a two-goal lead in the play-off first leg.


Who???

You know? From the Kazakh league? Sure, its only a matter of time before that league is pushing on the Big 5's dominance in Europe.
In fairness to Celtic, its some haul to go out to Kazakhstan for a football match, but at the same time, they should be winning these matches with their eyes closed.

I watched the game, Celtic showed very little ambition and really should have done a lot better. They have sold their best two players and replaced no one. I understand the thinking is they didn't need to buy yet to get through this tie and once qualified they could spend more. Could be a major cock up for them.

Clearly the Khazakstani sacrifice of a sheep before the match worked a treat. Wonder what the Glasgow equivalent will be for the return leg?

Indeed. It's melt-down over there!

Just as I predicted it would be.

This is going to be a fantastically amusing season for us Spurs fans.
