Liverpool?  Ooops.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

 I agree with Chelsea/Man Utd as next dream draw...and Boro to squeak past Sheffield in replay and get an easy home draw for a change please..Bristol, Barnsley or Cardif would be nice ...leaving Albion to play Portsmouth.

A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

Barns-er-ly.

The only thing they have there is A MaccyDs - but that should be alright with NZ Football, considering they are in bed with them

I guess Sheffield United is strictly one of those, given that the town is not united behind one team.

I didn't realise JFH was at Cardiff now. And to think they could have done so much better by signing Chris Killen instead. Hammer Head2008-02-29 13:39:36

Cardiff a chance - Haaslebank and Fowler if fit might create something,
I don't think Chelsea can afford to take Barnsley lightly (and so, should go through)

No, the referee didn't lose you the game, that was your own players who couldn't score even one goal at home to Portsmouth, despite having numerous chances to do so and plenty of possession. You sound like someone who is way too far up Ferguson's rusty sheriff's badge.
And as for Cristiano Ronaldo saying that he's going to change the way he plays because he's not getting enough protection from the refs, well, if he thinks he should play a different way in spite of scoring thirty goals this season....
And BTW, your dream of "the treble" was over when you got knocked out of the Carling/League Cup.
I hate sore losers...

Hate to stick up for a manc but the treble is actually the League, the Cup and Europe.
