You're not doing much to fight the stereotype that the scousers will blame anything and anyone but themselves, there was no excuse for rushing the police and trying to cram into the stadium and people have been unashamedly showing the photocopied tickets they got in with as if it's not their fault in the slightest for getting in the ground with what they knew was a forged ticket!
There may still be hope, looks like their could be a Tevez-style investigation over who owns Milans players
EDIT: At least some scousers got into the ground no problem

LMFAO
this is the funniest thing ive seen in a while - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140121598204
Found it quite ironic that some of the legions of scousers shown trying to rush past police and into the full stadium because some of their fellow pikey supporters had stiched them up by getting in with forged tickets were wearing "Justice 96" t-shirts...

Hope this Mike Assley fella manages to get Fat Freds shares off him. Would be great to get rid of Fred and have him replaced with the 25th richest man in the UK if he's willing to invest in the club. Of course if there's a stalemate then it could absolutely paralyze our transfer activity and leave us right in the shit...

Congratulations to AC Milan, once it got down to the semi finals I wanted them to win it to be honest and they played the best footy through to competition.
Benitez got it wrong, thought he was being clever with where he played Gerrard (Who must be kicking himself, had a completely anonymous game and missed a sitter) and that it'd go down as a master stroke if he pulled it off - unlucky son.

Billionare Mike Ashley has bought Sir John Halls 55.3 million shares in newcastle united for 100p each and now owns 41% of the club. Says he wants to buy more shares at the same price and is tabling a £133 million offer to take over NUFC.

Probably gonna go down the pub and watch it. Might wear my frankfurt top I got in Germany when I was at a UEFA match seeing as it's black and red stripes, should confuse the scouse contractors we always get in pubs down the seafront

It's not much further south but I paid £583 for my season ticket last year and reckon it's going to be the same this year.

Really hope Spurs have the ambition to hold onto Berbatov. There's an excellent article in the NOTW today by Martin Samuel, who quite often writes a lot of piss boiling nonsense but I really think he's hit the nail on the head with this one (yes, even the stuff about the mackem bastards
):Dimitar Berbatov has had a cracking season and should go to Manchester United.Roy Keane's transformation of Sunderland is merely an apprenticeship for an Old Trafford move.
Micah Richards must abandon Manchester City for Chelsea's reserves - to be joined by Reading captain Steve Sidwell - while each day Michael Owen continues to spend at Newcastle United, or Benni McCarthy at Blackburn Rovers, is wasted.
And then, when we have successfully shifted every ounce of talent to the same two clubs we will wring our hands and ask why our Premiership is so uncompetitive.
Berbatov holds the key this summer. If he is allowed to tread the same path as Michael Carrick from north London to Manchester, we may as well put the "house full" signs up around the Champions League places.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal - that is the way it is always going to be.
No point in striving to improve, no worth in ambition. We lie in our bed furthermore.
If a player whose club finishes fifth for the second season in succession is said to be wasting his time, there truly is no hope for change.
Tottenham are on the brink. Had the club not sold Carrick to United a year ago, they could have moved ahead of Arsenal already. Next year, if key players are added to Martin Jol's squad, this may happen. There is hope of a £250m buy-out and major investment from America.
Yet speculation takes place amidst the presumption that Berbatov has to look to Old Trafford to have a hope of success in English football.
The same with Owen, McCarthy, Sidwell, Richards, Tevez - even Keane.
Having revived Sunderland (24,337 saw them lose at home to Plymouth on August 12 and 44,448 watched the final home game against Burnley on April 27), it is now presumed he is on a beginners course that will end with graduation at Old Trafford.
Yet Sunderland are a big club. Not the biggest, but still one with a grand history and fanbase that would stand tall in any league in Europe. Why should Keane not believe he can make his mark there? Why should every career choice be a stepping stone to United? Tottenham, Sunderland, Everton, Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham, Blackburn: these are good places to be.
But the crushing financial force of the Champions League has, in our minds, relegated them to football's hinterland.
Instead of fighting back, we pander further by treating the gap between the elite and the contenders as if it is a chasm and not, as last season, two points.
With clubs targeted by serious investors abroad, traditional supremacies may be challenged.
In this climate, our Premiership should become more competitive. What keeps it unhealthy is our resistance to change, built on the presumption that United deserve 22 great players, and Spurs none.

I'm always inverted, have been since Quake. It's more natural as far as I'm concerned, you tilt your head forward to look down, you push the mouse forward to look down, you tilt your head backwards to look up, you pull the mouse backwards to look up.
-
Yeah, the match was crap - made worse by the fact I said to my mate during extra time I'd bet him a fiver on the winner and he could choose and he chose Chelsea.
To make footy matches more interesting (even championship or second division games you have no interest in) randomly insert 50p bet with friends. Here's some suggestions
Next foul
Next corner
Next corner postion (Bottom right, bottom left, top right, top left)
Next managerial close up
Next offside
Next team to win a header
Next team to touch the ball in the centre circle
etc

The things which grate with me are that I think that if her parents were a cleaner and a bus driver rather than doctors then the Daily Mail would be crucifying them for leaving her alone. It's sad but I think the band-wagon jumping grief-a-thon displayed by some of the public and especially Sky News is sickening and I'm not all that comfortable with Everton's "Bring our Maddy home" banner or this FA Cup appeal.
At least some people have noticed it and dare to point it out:

Also saw this posted on another forum:
£73,505.58 has been raised to find Madeleine.Oxfam reckons it costs 16p/day to keep a child that age in Africa alive.
She's been missing for 13 days, so that's £5654.27p raised per day. That money is enough to stop 22839 Africans kicking the bucket. Multiply Africans/day by the number of days and you get 296907 Africans.
Therefore the life of one English child is worth 296907 Africans
Back on topic, I'm not too sure who I want to win today. Guess Man U have played the best football this season,
-
It's sad, but I think the coverage of it, in the UK at least, is so extreme that it's become rather perverse.
-
Had a cracking time last time I was at Cardiff. The Man United fans were right miserable buggers like, sat in silence the whole time then moped around in service stations munching on cheese burgers and looking like they'd just been tonked 5-Nowt.
See they're playing the appeal videos for this missing Madeline lass at the FA Cup Final, doubt she'll be there like.

Ok, A little twist on this Guys.
Just off the phone, And was told that there are huge problems with the servers, People being banned for nowt etc.
"The servers are being reset tomorrow (sat) and EVERYONE will be back on live"
Some guy(microsoft), made this clear to me, whilst apologising for the faults.
I would love it if that happened, would be hilarious.
-
Really like the voice chat, good to be able to say "There he is" or "Let me on the back" to someone without everyone in your team wondering if it's meant for them. Jumping is also essential to the game and you need to press a button for that as well :P

Dual wielding is the way to go, chinning someone John Woo style and then calmly reloading both guns at once.
-
And apparently some unmodded consoles have also been accidently hit with the ban hammer.
I remember a few weeks ago the people who made the firmware which mods 360's drives said they were aware of a soon-to-be implimented method of detecting backups in the drive and banning and released a new firmware to nobble it before it was rolled out, but it doesn't sound like that's worked. It'll only be a matter of time before a work around is discovered though I'd be willing to bet.

Personally i'm incredibly impressed that XBL didn't go down at any point during this thing. I mean, wow.
Thought the Halo servers went down at one point tho, didn't they? That's what someone on another board was saying.
-
Getting backers off people (Do they call them that down south? You know when you got two people on a bike when you were a kid?) is well funny. Had some kid on the back of my car yesterday shouting at me for driving like a madman, doing flips and crashing into walls. And was on the back with some guy from a newcastle board driving later on, bombing around shouting "WEEEEEE!" and invariably both ending up deed after a horrific collision.

Since went does images of sequel to game come up afew month after the first game comes out.
They weren't officially released by Nintendo and if a game is expected to be successful it's not unusual for a company to begin work on a sequel before the first game is even out.
-
Gotta get up for work at 3:50 am so anything till late is a bit out the question sadly.
Better see my lass when she gets back from the gym as well.Some time though!
-
Not really played on live that much but some of the American kids playing Halo are well funny, I didn't think people actually spoke like that outside of sitcoms
"Oh my god you guys what do you think of this game huh ohmigod it is so fun it's totally the funnest I couldn't believe it you guys could I join your party omigod that would be awesome because I like so wanna play right now so you guys yeah invite me to your party and stuff you guys I don't believe this game I was like no way you guys ohmigod and there was this guy and I shot him and he was like "ahhh" and it was awesome. Guys?"
Too. Much. Sugar.

My first Halo 3 kill was a double kill, i was happy with that followed it up with a beat down, now called assassination . .
When I beat people down it usually says beat down, but I've seen assassination as well. Usually seems to be when you get someone from behind but it could be something like killing you without taking any damage.
What's the deal with the voicechat? Playing a teamgame it seemed like you could hear teammates when they were standing next to you thru the speakers, but to speak to everyone through the headset you had to press a button, is that right? Is there a guide anywhere to the controls or the weapons anywhere? Found myself running around with a big shotgun type thing and was rather shocked when I fired it at someone at point blank range and it sadly turned out to be a rocket launcher.
Football Season 2006/2007

I don't know about that like,
Celtic went to Seville, pretty much all all of them - no trouble.
Chelsea went to Stockholm no storming of the gates no trouble
Arsenal went to Copenhagen 94, Paris 2006 - no trouble
Man Utd went to Rotterdam and Barcelona - no trouble
Boro went to Eindhoven - no trouble
Everton went to Rotterdam with a load of celtic in tow and had football matches in the street with rival fans and coppers, no trouble.
Liverpool went to Brussels, the bigesst riot in european football history, and Athens, and I've just seen footage on Sky Sports News of liverpool fans mugging each other and stealing tickets, rushing the police trying to get in, displaying photocopied tickets and whinging about how it's the police's fault, uefa's fault, the stadiums fault, probably thatchers fault as well.
Quite a lot of other teams seem to have come away from major european matches with their reputations intact.
