We have to beat Liverpool to have a chance of staying up!!
We're not down yet!!

yeh but i was born on merseyside

[Rob]

No football!!
It's all happening tomorrow!! Who's going to be relegated with West Brom?
Newcastle,Middlesborough,Hull or Sunderland?
Exciting stuff all the way to the wire!!

[Rob]

A bit late but better late than never!!
West Brom,Newcastle and Middlesborough go down and Wolves,Birmingham and Burnley go up!!
Next season we can start winning matches again and promotion will have to be a must for Tony Mowbray otherwise move over and let someone else have a go.
Chelsea win the FA Cup.
You know this is the first time since 1957 Aston Villa-Manchester United that i haven't watched the cup final on the television.
Nowhere could i find a station on my tv set that was showing the match!! I have more than 100 channels!! BBC have no longer the tv rights so which station has? Is it pay tv e.g Sky who own the rights now? Is this the way forward? Dutch,German or Belgian tv have always shown the match live but this year? Nothing!!

[Rob]

I've been in hiding!I haven't dared to show my face in my village for the last couple of days!! Luckily i was free from work for 3days as well!!The shame of it all!! I couldn't believe it at first!! No they have it wrong this can't be possible! But it was and i was so embarrassed.
I needn't have been.The defeat of England by The Netherlands hasn't warranted more than a little story on the Dutch sport pages tucked in amongst the Giro D'Italia.
No one knew.Phew!! Imagine the embarrassment for me.England the founder of Cricket being beaten by a C status country.
It's like Upper Volta beating England at football!!It's like England winning The Eurovision Song Festival!! It's like West Brom winning The Champions League!! It's like Gary Glitter having a nr 1 again!!
It must have been the worst day ever in the history of cricket and we were supposed to be quietly confident of winning The Ashes this summer.

This weekend sees the start of a new football season.A time for hope and what could be more poignant than West Brom at home to Newcastle United.
A more fitting tribute to Sir Bobby Robson couldn't be arranged.
Geordie Sir Bobby and the team where he had his best years!!
RIP Aer Kid!!
Here in Holland we started our season last week but nothing beats,for me ,the start of the English season.My mate Dave tells me he has been able to buy a reduced season ticket for West Brom due to him reaching a certain age.He thinks he was in the same class as me at school but surely he's mistaken!! I'm not that old!!
He's looking forward to a season,under new management, Roberto Di Mateo,with the penultimate aim being promotion back to the Premiership where they belong. Should happen!!
Although on paper Newcastle seem to have the better squad!! We shall see.
Winston's happy he has premiership football to look forward to but what a match to start the season off with? Man Utd in the Theatre of Dreams!! He's going.His brother's best mate has a box ( i kid you not!!) at Old Trafford so he'll be there.
His missus is coming with me to Switzerland next week but that's another story!!
I hope for Wolvie's sake that Wolverhampton Wanderers have a good season and can stay up.West Ham at home should be 3 points.Well i say should be but these are the matches they will ahve to win to avoid relegation.Right Wolvie?
The VIlla ? At home to Wigan.It will be interesting to see what they can do without Gareth Barry.I expect them to win but time will tell if they finish higher than last season.
Right thats me finished.I lost in the quarter finals tonight in a tennis tournament for our region Mens Doubles 3 sets 6-2 4-6 5-7 so i'm gutted!!
Mind you i can rest my aching joints now!!
Here's to a happy and sporting football season. kusjes

In fact excuse me Mally old gal how about retitling it to Footie Sports talk!

[mallosa]

I will certainly do that NL, but I won't mention that a certain someone suggested the title 'SPORTS TALK' and I obliged

[Rob]

Well that's me finished!!
I'm not going to contribute to a forum called "Footie"!!!!! Sports Talk!! No way!!
You know what? Let's talk about Robin Hood and his men in tights instead!

[mallosa]

What was I thinking of?
Sorry Rob, I've changed it again, it's now entitled Sports Talk - 'Football'

[Rob]

Well i dunno......
