Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

The attitude to the UEFA cup (excluding the richest club) stinks

Hope they pay the price domestically as well !!

Well...ManU won the league cup and Spurs's season is over....Oh ! sorry ! I forgot the latter might be relegated !....what a crap week for them !, still a possibility of the Gunners catching the Villa....will be a neck and neck race between those two for a place in the Champions league with the extreme outside possibility of Arsenal winning this year's competition and pipping Aston Villa to the fourth place regardless of league positions.....I would not like to be around Martin O'Neill should that arise !.

No need to worry as there's next to no chance of the Arse lifting the big eared one.

Just watched Pompey v Chelski, Man U to win all five.

Question : What is the most trophies a club (in the top flight) can win in one season ? Answer : 7 .....the charity shield, the supercup, the world club cup, the league cup, the FA cup, the premiership, and the champions league.....now that lot would look nice in the forefront of a team photo !.

RF You could have given us a chance to answer.

Sorry, I'll try and think up another one soon !.

Ashley Cole arrested drunk ...!, I bet Cheryl is right up the kilimanjaro with that !......euhh...!, come to think of it : I think she is !.

Crime of the century - glad our police force have nothing better to do.

Mind you saves dealing with real criminals, like those thousands based in Liverpool

Here goes with the required field football trophy question : On the condition that a club has been playing in the championship for 2 years or more, how many trophies can that club possibly win in a season ? I'll wait until the correct answer comes up !. Loads of soccer coming up FA cup, League and Champions League...I'll have a job following all this (loads of work to do !)...important time of the season coming up and internationals to be played !.

Oh ! hang on : I forgot to put the telephone number to ring : ring rip off xxxx xxxxxxx, calls to this line cost 5 per minute, you might not win anything, prices can go up and down, terms and conditions apply !.

Answer 4.

1. FA Cup.
2. League Cup.
3. Playoff Final Cup.
4. U.E.F.A Cup.

Even with the Prima donna outfits putting out reserve sides now, very unlikely though -):

Add the Charity/Community (or whatever its now renamed as) Shield

The answer is 6......it is unlikely.....you would need an outfit like the Nottingham Forest of old, who were in the old second division before gaining promotion and then taking Europe by storm !, and even then....but anyway here are the details....1, The championship trophy itself, 2, The FA cup, 3, The Charity Shield as they were FA cup winners the previous year, 4, The UEFA cup as they won the FA cup the previous year and qualified for the uefa cup, 5, The Super cup as they won the uefa cup and 6, The League cup......all this very improbable.....but there you go......!.....so nobody won and I shall therefore scoff the bar of chocolate destined for the winner.....hmmmm ! delicious ! .

MU versus Everton...lucky Sir Alex.....I can now see them getting to the final....if it had been Chelsea or Arsenal : it would have been a lot more difficult !.

Tremendous performance overall by the premiership sides in the champions league, shame that the wannabe "up there" uefa sides don't take the uefa cup competition more seriously (with the exception of Manchester City)......fielding lesser sides....what nonsense that is !, anyway 4 sides out of 4 in the quarter finals of the Champions league .....one can only congratulate them......2 premiership sides are bound to bump into one another in the draw, I can hardly see them being all kept apart ....anyway we shall see !.

RF - Don't think that's premitted now as home country and fellow group teams have to be avoided.

So unless we have a very unusual grouping its one of 3 possible teams for each english club (and the french representatives l'arsenal)

Are you sure of that Joe Say ?, I thought that they would avoid each other in the the round of 16, but in the last 8, any matching was permitted !.....bizarre that Manchester City keep on bumping into Danish clubs...3 and 1 from the Faroe Islands I think...weird that ...!.

RF - I stand corrected - my fault.

Apparently, you're spot on - the protection stops now so we could end up facing pool again.

Mind you they have a week to heat one ball up and freeze another for the opponents they want.

Man U taken apart......probably an accident, but like I said before their weakness is players running at their defence one on one with the ball, if they come up against the likes of Barcelona with Messi, etc... they will have to watch that and keep Barca's own defence on the backfoot to try and avoid this...anyway looks like the Gunners-Villa battle for 4th place has resumed....will be neck and neck until the end of the season by the look of things !.
