That's why i was so annoyed about yesterday, i knew we had little chance of getting to the final, but we'd still go to Cardiff if we won.

Just gonna have to get to the play off final next season then :(

Blackburn could beat Arsenal. I think Newcastle are the weakest team still in.

Much love for Sparky though.

I think Blackburn and Newcastle are equal.

Nah, Blackburn have the edge. the edge being Mark Hughes.

Newcastle's attack and keeper are better.

Freidel is losing it.

The hell are you people talking about, Blackburn are shoddy. When you rely on Dickov for goals you're in trouble.

At least Newcastle have players that if they're on form can really trouble any team (i.e. Robert, Dyer, Kluivert)

Also do you not think Nicky Butt is going to have extra incentive (assuming he's playing) to beat Man U.

Newcastle will still lose MMM, Fuck Butt.

The only thing they have going for them is that Given will keep the scoreline down

Not saying they won't, but they're better than Blackburn :|

Yes, Newcastle are much better than Blackburn, Rovers played one up front against a team struggling in the championship.

Then again Arsenal's players won't particularly like a physical game and Blackburn will give them that. Man United should beat Newcastle, but i would prefer to see Newcastle win the cup.

Ex-player banned from prison team

Former Premiership footballer Lee Hughes has been banned from playing for his prison's team for the rest of the season after being sent off in a match.

Hughes, 28, who was given a six-year sentence last August for causing death by dangerous driving, was in action for Featherstone jail near Wolverhampton.

One challenge led to a player going to hospital, a spokesman for opponents Fegg Hayes, from Stoke-on-Trent, said.

The ex-West Bromwich Albion striker was sent off for two bookable offences.

'High tackle'

The player who went to hospital needed stitches to his chin, the spokesman added.

Hughes has been in action for Featherstone in the Staffordshire County League since being moved to the jail and scored twice in the 5-2 home victory on Saturday.

Spokesman for the prison, Stuart Bennett, said: "He was sent off for two bookable offences.

"For the first one it was quite a high tackle definitely. For the second one in the second half he didn't stamp on the player but gave the impression that he did.

Contract terminated

"Featherstone Prison has a policy of banning all players for the rest of the season if they are sent off.

"But if he remains with us, the slate would be wiped clean ahead of next season."

Hughes was convicted of causing the death of father-of-four Douglas Graham, 56, by dangerous driving and fleeing the scene of the accident near his home in Meriden in November 2003.

Coventry Crown Court heard he had gone to a post-match drinking session before his £100,000 Mercedes sports car smashed into a Renault Scenic.

The striker, who has also played for Coventry City and Kidderminster Harriers, spent most of his career at Albion before having his contract terminated following his conviction.

Blackburn are battlers though, Newcastle are just a team of plater who think they are better than they are. Blackburn know they are crap but try to work out of it.

<font face=verdana size=3 color="#ff6600">Robbie Savage in whiney little bitch shock.</font>

At the end of the day no-one likes being dropped, and arguably he's better than all the midfielders in that squad.

Didn't Berkovic moan when Zajec left him out, before quitting Portsmouth?

I'm sorry :$ I'm just sticking up for Sav :(

Pretty much like he said when they interviewed him at half time on Sunday, our fans are pretty mixed towards him because i think he kissed the badge of Birmingham's shirt last season when theyt played here or something, or put himself about as usual. I didn't go so i'm not sure, but he was part of a great team and gave 110%.

We'd like Dickov if he'd had conducted himself in the same manner when leaving. I mean i read in the paper before the game that a number of premiership clubs wanted him, but he'd said if the move to Blackburn fell through then he'd have stayed with Leicester and i just thought ':| why is Blackburn so special?' :$

1-0 Inter baby.

Yianni, i like paok too, im from thessaloniki, and ive been to 4 paok games, they were fun. paokaaara ommadaaaaara. ala gia ton poutso einai fetos. anyway

2-1 FUCK...NOW INTER HAS TO WIN

HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT SCORE! IT WAS A 2 ON 1

Calm down Slim McDoogle

Adriano :cool: Inter through 4-2 on aggregate.

Connolly and Hughesy :love: feared the worst when we went 2 goals down so after that and playing on Sunday, it was a decent result, least we scored some. Only 2 points off the relegation zone now though.

Savage is right for once. Toshack is just being a cunt droping him. Hes clearly one of their best players so its purely being a dick on Toshack's part. If it was a friendly then grand but for 2 qualifying games its shit.

Inter is now where I said they'd be with the team they have at the beginning of the year. Anything from here on out (winning wise) is just super bonus. Im FUCKING happy.

Fucking fustrating to watch.

Nice work Chelsea.

WE'RE NUMBER ONE
WE'RE NUMBER ONE
WE'RE NUMBER ONE

Chelsea wont win champions league.

I didn't say they would. We have a better chance then you though

Indeed you do. I hope for kicks Chelsea plays Inter next.

I hope for the sake of revisiting the San Siro that we play you or Milan next, having said that I still haven't been to Liverpool's ground and Juve's looks shit hot, so yeah any will do.

Yea as I look down the list I pretty much see any team beatin my team.

Inter would beat PSV, and probably Lyon, Liverpool and i'll say Bayern. To be honest i think they'd give most teams a good game, 1 defeat in about 45 games now isn't it? Unbeaten away from home this season so if they could keep that up in the latter stages i wouldn't fancy many sides going to the San Siro and beating them.

And they got to the semi's 2 season's ago.

I know but they are giving up stupid stupid goals. Thats the only thing that worries me.

That their fucking lack luster defense.

Savage is also clearly a dipshit who has objected to Toshack since the day he came in and has been looking for any excuse not to play for him. If he was so proud to play for Wales he'd shut up and play when he's picked, not whine like a little bitch and throw a tantrum because the manager wants to see who else is available, considering he already lost a bunch of players due to retirement.
