Yes . . . probably because we have English telly and they all call it Boxing Day. It's written in newspapers and everything else so we don't know any better.

Have to say I agree with you Juice. . . last year I found it very difficult to get up to any sort of level to compete for a spot on our Senior team and every time I got close some sort of niggle would get at me whether it was a back or a groin or a hamstring. The body just isn't functioning properly anymore.

Having seen the lads who are able to cope with it in their formative years it would seem that you need to have a decent lifestyle. In other words I would say start eating right and get horsing at the weights!!! A good weights programme will help strengthen the muscles and prevent those niggly injuries you are likely to pick up. Having a decent diet will help to give you more energy to cope in games.

I myself have started the long road back in the last 2 weeks and I know it's going to be a killer. I have been playing football about twice a week for the last 2 months and it helps but any decent cardio I've done apart from that is definitely tough, and I need 2 days to recover. I'm hoping this will get easier in the coming months but who knows. Best of luck!!!

Arsenal will never win the EPL or CL with second rate bargain buys (Squill, Cham & Kosc being  the main 3 offenders). They also need a plan b as the tippy tappy sh!te that beats Fulham just doesn't work against the big boys. Pretending to be the English barca Is delusional. Barca would embarrass them  The great Arsenal teams had leaders, grit, dig, whatever you want to call it. This lot should be sat down and made watch the invincibles DVD

Ah maybe it'll look brighter in the morning. Prob shouldn't get my hopes up each time.

Strange as I thought Squllachi and Koscielny were excellent tonight as were the entire back 4 Uniteds goal was pretty fortuitous and their other chances came on the Counter Attack. . . my money for worst players were Rosicky, Song, Arshavin and Chamakh!!! The 3 'main men' who came on hardly covered themselves in glory as VP couldn't get on the ball, Fabregas must have given at least 3/4 passes away and Walcott has the first touch of a rapist!!

The sense of community and belonging. You can go to anywhere in the world and if you see someone with a GAA top, it's like meeting someone you know.

Even if they're wearing a Tyrone top and you don't want to know them!!!!

I'm not arguing the credentials of Newcastle as a big club but how in any way shape or form is Sheffield Wednesday a bigger club than Blackburn Rovers??!!

They probably have a bigger support base, if that counts for anything. Wednesday manage to attract similar attendances despite being in a lower division.

Similar?? We operate at 75% capacity on Average while Wednesday are 43% . . . Again Sheffield Wednesday are in no way shape or form a bigger club than Blackburn in terms of supporters, trophies, players etc. etc.

Robby Savage was class on 5 Live last night when he was asked if Newcastle was a big club :P 

"Newcastle aren't a big club, wow they get big attendances, but that is only because the people of Newcastle have nothing else to do."

:D

What in the name of God would Robbie Savage know about a big club? This no talent clown spent most of his time playing for rubbish like Leicester and Derby. Robbie Savage should concentrate on what he's good at fake tans and bleaching his hair despite the fact that he must be 35 by now. Newcastle is a far bigger club than any of the rubbish he ever played for

Who have both won top flight domestic trophies since the last time Newcastle have. Savage can be a bit of a clown at times but I agree with him on this.

Newcastle are a far bigger club then Leicester or Derby in the same way as Sheffield Wedensday, Forest,Leeds etc are far bigger clubs then the likes of Wigan and Blackburn just because some teams have had more success recently does not make them a big club

I'm not arguing the credentials of Newcastle as a big club but how in any way shape or form is Sheffield Wednesday a bigger club than Blackburn Rovers??!!

Have heard reports about peoples engines going having used a certain 'reputable' diesel company in the Cookstown area. They get a lot of business as they are the cheapest. My engine went the same way and I thought it was a fault with the car but as I work in Insurance I have come across at least 3 cases where this has happened. I do not use that company anymore but use Tesco who are generally 1p a litre more expensive.

So the curtain comes down tonight on another successful Champions league group stage! A draw is good enough to top the group & avoid Real/Barca in round 2.

As i expected a strong line-up

Amos,Rafael,Ferdinand,Vidic,Fabio,Carrick,Anderson,Nani,,Park,Berbatov,Rooney SUBS: Kuszczak, Smalling, Fletcher, Giggs, Obertan, Macheda, Hernandez.

Ohh & United can become the first team in its 18-year Champions league history to complete an entire group phase with six straight clean sheets if they keep the Spaniards at bay.

Amos in goal will test that record


U sure you don't mean Carrick in midfield?? :P

Sounds like it was some turnaround I though England would struggle given the opening they had! I still couldn't sit and watch a whole innings though.
