Hope this link works, it's the party at Vardy's - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/35718309 Edit - scroll down and you should see it.
Loved this on the BBC Gossip website - "Absolute scum - I left 2 AVFC tickets on the dashboard and someone has smashed the window and left 2 more!!!!"
I wonder if Spurs and Chelsea will have a £30K fine imposed by the FA for their touchline 'handbags' (like ours when we played Sunderland!!) at the end of their game on Monday evening??? I'm not 'holding my breath' on that one!!!!
The Chelski affair was quite nasty and certainly should be ounished, a darn site more than £30k too. I suggest at least a barrel of oil.
Madrid lead 1-0. Madrid pretty much in control. I predicted 3-0 Madrid tonight. Can still see it happening. As I said the other week, Simeone is a master!he did it again last night!!
Just seen this - scary if true! Ed Aarons @ed_aarons 11m11 minutes ago Spanish sides have now won 17 of last 18 knockout ties against English opposition
Not really to me, it just reflects that our teams are fighting tooth and nail in a competitive league week in week out and it has an effect on English teams abilities to raise there game for a one off fixture. Being one of only 2 (3 at the moment teams) that compete domestically (The 3 of them are 20pts clear of 4th!) means that they can come into big european ties generally rested and ready knowing that they have rolled over their last and will role over their next domestic oponents because from 4th down their oponents will not really stand a chance of beating them. Maybe a slight exageration as they do get beat occationally by the rest, but these are not hard fought games in general like those experienced in the PL. And with assured European involvement they can take their eye off the ball at home to focus on europe. With 6 (7 with Leicester) teams in the PL having a ligitimate shout at making europe in the PL each season that means that English teams can't. Next season; Manure, Chelski and Liverpoo will all likely miss out on europe. Barca and Real never will! This is perhaps the reason that the PL is the success that it has become. But also a factor in why european success has been fleeting. That and their teams are better and they still keep getting the very best players! Bah!
Were you just on Talksport?! I just heard a caller ring in and make that exact point! I agreed with it, and thought it was a cracking point I hadn't really thought of. Be interesting if it happens again tonight. Haven't got a feeling either way of how it will go.
F*ck sake.A Liverpool player fouled, he goes down theatrically, and no yellow of for Spanish club. Same happened minutes later. Yellow card to the Englishman. Just coz it's a Spanish tart rolling around on the floor because someone touched his shin pad a bit.
Hate Liverpool with a passion, nearly as much as I do the Binmen almost on a par actually, hope they lose to a dodgy last minute pen, come on Villarreal !
A bit late for rallying cry type soundbites Alex? WTF?? I could have sworn we played (and lost, abjectly, in the most recent case) to some of those "teams around us" as in Palace and Sunderland very recently. All a bit hollow / shallow saying all this crap now!
I would be interested to see what you might suggest he says to the press prior to Saturday's game if not this? He is absolutely right that we need to pick up points to put pressure on Newcs and Sunderland. Do i or maybe even he, believe that we will get those points and apply pressure to them in there later kickoffs? No, but it is still what we must try to do, and as long as he and the players are still fighting then there is a glimmer of hope. If we lose and they both win this weekend that glimmer will have been pretty much extinguished. He cannot come out and say all is lost can he? Bah!
