If they win tonight will this drive price up ????? - I like football but this is the only football share that interests me.Any thoughts!!!

Kantona

Anyway, what do I know, a couple of injuries to key players, a new signing or two and the whole picture changes.

I am rather hoping that my shares might show a sign of revival also, I thought I had a pretty exciting portfolio, but the horrors of Madrid are having their effect. Puts it all into perspective I suppose. I hope if Arjen reads this, he is safe and not personally affected by this outrage.

Rgds to all

PTH

yeah .. know what u mean ..my prtfolio took a real battering yesterday .. but it was nothing compared to loss suffered by people in Madrid .. like it has been said before it just puts everthing into prospective.. hence to be honest wasn't that much effected by the losses ..just thankful, have a roof over my head food on the table and a family to share it with. What more a man can ask for and be thankful for.

My dad always used to say to me Keep your money in the pocket , not in the heart .. i see now what he means by it.

As a football supporter though i keep my team in my heart .. hence agree with STORMCALLER in his observations .. they thing is aprt from scholes our Midfield has been so crap ..that Keano ( have utmost respect fro him ) has been made to look better than what he actually is . Agree that Viera is the ideal replcaement ..but he will have his price ..Arsenal can't afford to pay him too much salary ..whereas Utd can pay 60K a week to him .. near double what arsenal have offered him so far.. we do have another young player arrving from Celtic ( Miller ) but from what little i have seen of him , he is more in the Scholes mode as apposed to Keano.

Anyway ..must rush now (the pockets are rather empty at the moment).. keeping close eye on Mediwatch in coming weeks .. the announcement they promised can't b far off .. bPRG to stage a recovery ! CHR to continue upwards ! ZIM to deliver the goods ( or find someone to distribute them ! )

Hi ptholden
Thank you very much for your kind sentiments.
Yes,I am safe.Words are insufficient to describe the feelings here.Spanish t.v
has/is providing an outstanding coverage.The general feeling is that ETA is
responsible.However,I am more inclined to believe it was Al Quieda.I think
there is a possibility that both have established a connection.Incidentally,
I am learning Russian and have to be mindful of the fact that ETA is a Russian
word.

Aggression :-Innumerable posters have mentioned my aggressive posts.Where
were all of you when I was subjected to the most despicable posts on IDD some
months ago ???????????Did ONE of you complain???Everything on that tread
emenated from my valuation of IDD shares.They are almost the exact price NOW
as I said then.I see 2 major problems on this board and they are indicative
of a very amateur board : which is truly unfortunate as 99 per cent of the
posts are professional standard.The first one is that virtually all posters
detest Negatives whereas all of us NEED negatives so as to give us balance.The
second one is the totally unrealistic price expectations.Ref my English:-I have
used a Colon.Does ANYONE on the board know when a Colon is appropriate?

Someone mentioned my grammAr or as they put it grammEr.Charles Dickens is my
favourite author.Would the complainer prefer I write in Dickensian 1850
English ?

I will stop ALL my aggressive posts :-if I am not subjected to IDD type posts.

rgds to all,
Aj

nice to hve u back arjen .. personally i'm not one to have a go at anyone .. if i do so i tried to be as constructive as i can be ... if i don't have anything useful to say then i stay quiet..

anyway .. what have made of the draw .. as a utd fan i am really gutted ..the loss on tuesday only just sank in..they would have been to the better side of the draw IF they were still in Comp .. Milan got to b favourites to reach final

Madrid can't be to be too pleased with the draw..with possibility of Arsenal or Chealse in semi's .. suppose they are not as disappointed as Chealsea ... was listening to i/v of Scott Parker the other day ..was very confident said one team Chealsea didn't want to meet in Europe was Arsenal .. bet he wishes now he said something else..

anyone ..best of luck for future ..

What's happening? I've missed all the action -just bought in @250 because I think a bid is still on the table. What do you reckon?
