This is not quite on-topic (belongs in that Hutton stuff), but I thought it necessary to point out that the late Dr. Kelly had his priorities right on May 17, May 21, and May 28.
Wonder who he supported?

I would put my money on Southampton..lived close to the A34..half hour/45 minutes drive if the traffic is kind.WLM wrote: Dr. Kelly had his priorities right on May 17, May 21, and May 28.

Tried to check for his CV to see where he got his Phd/Bsc...found that he worked at Porton Down near Salisbury..that means his speciality was biological/chemical weapons..not bombs.
Southampton Univ had/has strong Bio Rand D.
I am not a footbal brain.. but didn't the Saints feature in the FA cup Final (date in his diary) think they played some London club..Arse-something!

Who knows eh? Maybe he was an Arsenal fan and wanted to keep on eye on who his team would likely be facing in the latter stages of the UEFA cupWLM wrote:This is not quite on-topic (belongs in that Hutton stuff), but I thought it necessary to point out that the late Dr. Kelly had his priorities right on May 17, May 21, and May 28.

This season. I doubt the Hutton enquiry will establish that information though Internationals tommorow. Be nice if Wales could beat Italy. Ingurland and Scotland should win. Ireland Russia could be a good game
Finland travel to Wales next wednesday
Portugal v Spain
Is that a friendly ajdias

Muslim Soccer Fans Told to Watch Their Mouths
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's religious leaders urged Muslims on Friday to refrain from using foul language when supporting their teams at soccer stadiums. Imams nationwide called on the devout instead to use phrases like "Maasallah" ("May Allah preserve you") and "Barek Allah" ("Blessed Allah") to cheer on their favorite clubs, the private NTV television station said. Turkey's passion for soccer has been marred by outbreaks of violence, and police search fans entering stadiums to seize weapons ranging from pocket change to kebab cleavers. In August, one man was killed and 50 wounded when supporters clashed during a local derby in the western city of Izmir. "It's certainly nice for fans and spectators at sporting matches to express their excitement, but it needs to be done in a legitimate way. Applause and praising Allah are suitable," NTV quoted Istanbul's top cleric Bayram Erdogan as saying. He was speaking ahead of the Friday sermon, which contained the call for moderate language.
In Turkey the weekly sermon is drawn up by the Department of Religious Affairs and delivered at tens of thousands of mosques around the country

Bit of bad blood between English and Turkish football fans
I know a few manchester lads who spent a rough couple of weeks in Turkish prisons in 1993.

So looks like Finland need to beat Wales in Cardiff on wednesday, and then hope Wales lose to Serbia:WLM wrote:Ya-hooo.. Forza Azzurri!
Sorry Gavin, sorry Wales, but 4-0 on Tulosveto is not to be sneezed at. I was getting worried at half-time, but they came good in the end. Paid out 21-something to one.
And just to show there's nothing personal, I also backed the Finns to lose - but they went and won!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 899305.stm And they also need to make up 6 goals against the Welsh over those two games. Bit of a tall order. If I was a betting man like WLM, I know who my money would be on
SIX goals? Hardly. Looks like they need to beat the Welsh 2-0 or better. This is probably already a tall order, but Muurinen will have been heartened by the news that the Welsh have Bellamy, Savage, and Delaney all suspended because they picked up a yellow against Italy. Finland also disposed of the Welsh in the very first international ever played at the Millennium Stadium, and I really don't think they could ever play quite as badly again as they did against Wales in Helsinki.
2-0 would possibly do it, because Wales also have to lose their other game, against the Serbs, (and the Serbs in turn have to lose at home to Italy - quite conceivable) for any of this to work. I'm not sure if "goals scored" also come into play, in which case 3-1 or 4-2 would be better.
Hands up those who believe that Wayne Rooney is the next candidate for the Paul Gascoigne Matti Nykänen Trophy. Prodigiously gifted, but thick as a donkey's dong and capable of getting sent off at 10 seconds' notice. Then again he might marry some bimboid from the latest girl band and turn into Goldenballs II. Perish the thought.

How would you feel if Chris Powell got injured playing for Ingurland 2 days before he had to play in a crucial game for Charlton?
