Depends how close a unit Barca are, it could well stir up Guardiola's players if they see how angered he is by Mourinho's comments. We shall see...

HA HA! I don't think I was even aware that the Olympics after London were in Rio, in fact the thought that you might be referring to the Olympics completely bypassed me altogether.

Suppose it'll be easier to get hotel rooms than in 2014?

For the first it looks as if Naismith has over-run the ball before the clumsy challenge for a 50/50 ball has been made.

Sure I read somewhere that Brown said he will experiment before the season finishes? which I took to mean those deemed not good enough or who are fucking off elsewhere will be dropped for some of the young lads?

Sounds good, but how much are we betting most of our pre season games will involve mainly not good enough trialists.

I thought only Milsom and Maguire were worthy of the shirt today, although I'd agree Smith and Aluko showed ability and with better players around them could be decent players for us. The depressing thing is that none of those are really likely to be here next season and all we ever seemed to see at Pittodrie is an ever decreasing ability level in our squad. The future is bleak.

I was 9 we (me my Dad my mates and their Dads) were in the "Family" terracing which I think meant in reality a free for all. Still being 9 we could shout and sing whatever we felt like and there was fuck all the Tim's around us could do. Got a few skelps on the back of the head from the Dads and got told not to lower ourselves to "their" level, which may have been as a result of joining in with a few unsavoury noises made in the direction of Paul Elliot. Was convinced on the day that Gillhaus' header went through a hole in the net. Was Nicholas' effort not virtually straight from kickoff?

Just stumbled on this. Whatever is built I'm sure we'll have a better view, come 2013, than West Ham...

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/aberdeen-fc/kader/verein_370.html Went to the Hun page and its got Foster down as £880,000.

Chapman that did the spoon bottom in the Lotus (or was it Brabham) did he not? I also have vague a recollection of reading about a Formula 1 car or at least a prototype that basically had a big fan underneath sucking the car to the ground, then again I may have made this up with an over-active childhood imagination.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

I like both Adidas, the Admiral and if they were to make it uniform i.e. get rid of the white bits and the plain red sleeves and make it all out of the checked red the Umbro also.

They've only just discovered the internet in Stoke, so have only recently been able to check McGhee out on Wikipedia.

He was Mikel's agent when he signed for Man U/Chelsea. Connor Okus is on his book's and he was responsible for the Charlie Nicholas (Arsenal to us) transfer.

Sweep for summer signings?? http://www.semplc.com/football

Obviously getting the desired reaction... Says a lot when our oldest managerial team ever are the only ones in recent seasons to be embracing "new" technology. Especially when you consider it's right on our doorstep.

I had a dream last night that we were playing the semi at Pittodrie but before the Dick Donald was built and I was sat in that old corner stand between the Mainer and the Beach end. We went 5 - 0 up in the first twenty minutes.

Going to try for evening of 100m final and relays, something at the velodrome, maybe some early rounds of the boxing, show-jumping, and some of the basketball. I figure the fitba wont be that difficult to obtain tickets for closer to the time, and I'd hate to end up at a "Team GenglandB" game. Wasn't Federer Swiss captain, or whatever waving the flag means, at Beijing?

Finally got round to watching Shutter Island last night anyone who's seen it got an opinion on the ending? **Spoliers** As far as I can see there are three possible sceanrios... Scenario 1) Teddy/Laeddis does genuinely have a relapse Scenario 2) He is Laeddis rather than Teddy and feels so much guilt he chooses to have himself lobotomised so fakes the relapse Scenario 3 (the one I like)) He is Teddy, he was fed drugs on his arrival to the island as he was asking too many questions about Laeddis and what went on in the Island in the real world and he chooses to be lobotomised rather than live the torment of knowing he can never leave the Island. I think the last frame of the Lighthouse shows that they are conducting lobotomies and further experiments on patients brains there which was denied when explaining their "reality" to him. Have to watch it again, in any case.

I am no bottynal fan or follower. To suggest Van Persie's sending off was fair is akin to suggesting 99.9% of decisions in favour of the OF are fair, regardless of the numerous lesser decisions that all went one way tonight. Barcelona - The best team on the night, of the moment and possibly one of the best in history. Arsenal - An excellent footballing side cheated out of a chance to tactically defend their way into the quarter finals of the champions league. This is football not a competition to see who can play the prettiest and most passiest (sic), and if ever that was to be proved it was tonight, unfortunately we were denied by FIFA.

A partnership of those two? About two or three times a season, I'd have thought.

Watched The Fighter, great film Bale excellent as usual, and Faster, The Rock and Billy Bob Thornton excellent, only bad points were the English boy who was pointless and probably slightly more pointless, his bird.

When your being paid to be at home doing the gardening. I'm guessing DiMatteo doesn't believe they would have been relegated had he remained in charge and is wanting paid all of the remainder of his contract. West Brom will not be wanting to pay it all and want to negotiate a reduced amount. Hence the stand off, and the gardening leave. Unless of course there is another reason (conduct) for his sacking and they are awaiting the outcome of the internal investigation to get him out and depending on level of guilt and negotiation over non-disclosure the negotiated pay off. a la Martin Allen at Cheltenham last season.
