Football Focus

Judas In! :(

[mockney piers]

I guess five goals and five assists in five games can be considered form, but really? I almost covered my monitor in coughed up crisps on reading that one.

[Jah Lush]

Well Piers if Fabio Capello can give that useless lump Darren Bent a cap he can certainly give Carlton Cole one too. He seems to go with form and Carlton Cole always did well with the Under-21s so I don't see why he can't get a leg up into the full squad if he is playing well.

Oh and by the way.....

"Spurs are on their way to Wembley

Tottenham's gonna do it again

You just can't stop 'em

The boys from Tottenham

The boys from White Hart Lane

Oh!"

[ratty]

Will you be in attendance Mr Lush?

[Jah Lush]

I was last year and I'm certainly hoping to again this year.

[Keef]

Not sure I'd want to go after the way you played last night! Improvement needed. Sounds like Harry is going to sacrifice the FA Cup to concentrate on the league, seems wise but a shame.

ROBINHO PLEDGES FUTURE TO CITY

The Brazil forward has apologised to Mark Hughes and accepted a fine of two weeks' wages, about ?320,000, for leaving the club's training camp in Tenerife without permission. "I have a good relationship with him and have always respected his decisions," Robinho said. "I am looking forward to delivering as many goals as possible to help our team to the next level".

I always wonder what the club does with fines?

Will Fergie believe Honest 'Arry is going to put out a weakened on Saturday to influence his own team selection?

It's only Man U v Spurs anyway so I'll be watching the Ospreys teaching Leicester how to play Rugby Union on Sky Sports.

Looks like Man U v. Spurs will be a battle of the 2nd teams...

Morning football fans

There seems to be an issue where this thread is not moving to the top of the list when a new message is put on it. I have no idea why it is happening however an educated guess would be that the number of posts in this one thread (almost 5,000) is causing a strain on the system. So what I may do after I have monitored it for another day or so but not yet is lock this thread and ask someone to start a new Football Focus thread. This will mean that that Football focus will once again move to the top of the Lounge list when it is updated.

Sorry for the potential inconvenience and c'mon the Mighty Reds.

[Keef]

For the record, he means the proper mighty reds of Liverpool!

[SeanMacGabhann]

further making my case that he IS the chef on Something for the weekend - he is also a Liverpool fan

[????]

Is he The Stig?

[Ladygooner]

Just testing to see if this thread moves up! and a reminder that Arsenal play Cardiff 1.30 Sunday - I shall be in the Vale watching if anyone wants to join me on the comfy sofa!

[SeanMacGabhann]

who?? Simon Rimmer is the Stig??? wow

[mockney piers]

Did the Administrator just express a partial opinion?

Is that allowed?

And for the record, I think he meant York.

[Administrator]

I was referring to the new which informs you when message is new, I was merely empowering it and encouraging it to work, it is a technical term.

It appears that new posts do make Football Focus appear at the top of the list but please do report it should it break.

Croatia star Dino Drpic has been transfer listed by his club after his Playboy model wife revealed the pair had sex on the pitch.

Nives Celsius made the embarrassing revelation on a Serbian chat show, saying she got intimate with defender Drpic under floodlights at Dinamo Zagreb's Maksimir Stadium.

He would be more than welcome at west ham we all have playboy wags.

[Sandperson]

I knew it! I always thought there was a Scouse bent to this thread! Right, that's it, I'm off.

[Jah Lush]

So farewell Sandperson. It's been nice knowing you even though we haven't met. Our reserves are playing yours tomorrow so let's see who's best.

[matthew123]

Liverpool apparently in takeover talks with a Kuwaiti family according to various sources.
