Pleased to report the Tykes gave a better than anticipated display & Sir Bob quotes Smithy `Shearer Mark 11`

Alan Smith (Man of the Match), Leeds through & through commitment 10/10.

Offers around £20m due any day

A very professional performance by Sven's men in tonite's friendly, and a belter of a goal by Frank Lampard too. Bodes well.

Tony · #**183** 08-20-2003, 11:25 PM

James impressive performance earns 8/10 MOM,Heskey needs a goal 6/10,Becks did his job,scoring 1 & a great dipping cross for Owens goal 7/10,Lampard scored the pick of the goals 7/10,thought young Joe Cole had an impressive match and caused a few problems on the run 7/10,Scholes below par 5/10.

Bring em on

Goals by Van the Man and Paul Scholes cancel out Alan Shearer's first half header, another classy subs' performance by the prodigy Ronaldo.

Tonight in Hamburg: HSV against Bayern Munich. I was there. Unfortunately my guys (HSV) were beaten 2:0, but oh what a fun it was nethertheless. A crowded stadium with 55.500 people:

Always nice to have a Ladys view on the beautiful game

Tony · #**189** 08-25-2003, 12:30 AM

A good result for the Reds and another superb captains role by Mr (no nonsense) Keane.

Tony · #**190** 08-25-2003, 12:34 AM

Despite Peter Reids efforts off loading Mills to Boro

Adam · #**191** 08-25-2003, 10:02 AM

I hate Oliver Kahn!

My side is climbing the table.

And joy of joys, the worst team in the country at the moment are Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Isnt football great.

Well the European Cup returns at last, this is going to be the big test for the New Improved Chelsea (although without a seeding they seem to have found themselves in one of the weaker groups, wonder if any UEFA officials have new cars courtesy of Roman's millions). Anyhow United start off with the Greeks (won't even attempt a spelling on that one) and we've got the Rangers games to look forward to as well. Im feeling quite magnanimous today so wish all the British clubs well for the first round.....except Arsenal of course, for whom I wish nothing but heartache, terrible injuries and early exit. (what a result for Harry, Teddy & the boys on Saturday)

Tony · #**193** 09-16-2003, 10:19 AM

Bit of a mouthful

I expect the Reds to be victorious here,just a pleasure to see Champions League football again

As for LUFC what a shambles

**Marty** · #**194** 09-16-2003, 12:55 PM

Tony,

Manchester United 5-0 Panathanaikos , and the pick of the goals by Nicky Butt, great to see him on the score sheet yet again, a confidence building clean sheet in Europe for the young American and a first for Djembe Djembe. Job Done. And the group is British led too with Glasgow's blue side second. Good away win in Prague for the King's Rd Millionaires as well. Here's Nicky's goal.

Tony · #**195** 09-17-2003, 12:36 AM

Great display of football by the Reds...... MOM Giggs.

Also nice to see little Ali of Iraq with the England Manager

Adam · #**196** 09-17-2003, 04:32 AM

Our first defeat after 6 straight wins last night Tony!

We are undoubtedly the strongest side in Divsion 1 this season.

And Wolves are undoubtedly the worst team ever to play in the Premiership.

Isnt football fun?

Adam

Inter stun Gunners

Arsenal 0-3 Inter Milan

Arsenal were humbled at home against last season's semi-finalists Inter Milan.

The Italians destroyed Arsenal with a stunning first-half display in which they scored three times and could have had more.

Julio Ricardo Cruz, Andy van der Meyde and Obafemi Martins grabbed the goals, with Thierry Henry seeing a penalty wonderfully saved by Francesco Toldo to add to the Gunners' misery.

Wenger's pretenders had no answer to their awesome opponents and must now face the reds at Old Trafford on Sunday.

As I said before Adam automatic return to the Prem should be a certainty.

Wolves to drop out

Tony · #**199** 09-18-2003, 12:27 AM

your forecast for Sundays game Marty ?

**Marty** · #**200** 09-18-2003, 09:21 AM

I'm at the Theatre of Dreams for Sunday's game, and anything over a 2-1 home win will be fine by me. Celtic were extremely unfortunate in Munchen, shades of Ronaldhino and David Seaman for Bayern's second...
