Ah! the good old footy songs, no team seems capable of creating new songs these days :wink:
That sond or chant has probably been changed from "No surrender to the Nazi"

It was probably first sung from behind Hadrians wall at the advancing Romans.

"No surrender to rising house prices reducing our purchasing power" doesn't really have the same ring to it..

Man City have qualified for the UEFA Cup.
City were left sweating over the spot after captain Richard Dunne was sent off in their final league game of the season, a humiliating 8-1 defeat by Middlesbrough.

But once the final count had been done it was revealed that they had held off Fulham and they will now enter the competition at the first qualifying round stage in July.

Enjoy it for a year John, the championship division or what ever its called now is great for excitement and passion. You certainly have a manager who can deliver.

fake or what you decide,

me I rekon its fake just like the nike ronaldinho ball off the crossbar advert but Ive heard a few other reasons to suggest otherwise 'not the nike advert', and put some small element of doubt in my mind.

this

Then this is real

Check out Sepak Takraw. Malay sport like vollyball. Except you don't use you hands.

Well it certainly doesn't look real, and just on the off-chance that its real i'd love to know how many times they had to get it right for the camera :?
i'd certainly pay to watch it!

Anyone got any predictions for the Champions league final? anyone care (apart from ChubbyChaser)(erm sorry ChubbyPoacher :wink: )

I saying it's a game to two penalties, Ronaldo and Drogba both diving in the box, one will score , the other miss!

I'd like Lampard and Terry to score (Lampard with a deflected shot obviously) and then them both to end up on the losing side with tears before bedtime. Now who don't i mind at Manure? Giggs and Van der Saar, Giggs 2 VDS 1.

Otherwise, it's hard to call, maybe Ronaldo to win it with an amazing performance that he's easily capable of, or perhaps it's a really, really dull game and Chavski sneak it. Ballack? Lickle Joe Cole?

Whatever happens dull or not please please i can't have Chavski lifting the trophy. Come on ManU!

Im predicting a really boring game. One that Ill prolly watch the first half to see if its worth staying up for the second half.

Strange that its a 10:45pm KO in Moscow. Imagine there will be some fans on the phish all day then head to the game and fall asleep.

Lee Carsley just signed for you lot, I predict Citoy will bounce back at the first attempt.

I have absolutely nothing against Chelski since they got shut of that obnoxious twunt Mourinho. I would love for them to roll the Scum, and see Ronaldo blubbing his eyes out at the end. However, I fear the Scum will have too much for them.

Scum 3 (Tevez, Rooney, Giggs) - Chelski 1 (Fat Frank pen.)

I don't think I'll watch the match. Unfortunately, off-field events might be of more 'interest' come Thursday morning...let's hope not, though.
