Marsellie are one-nil up and this has just appeared:
"A hold up in play as a fire is dealt with under one of the stands. looks very, very dangerous for a moment but the authorities are on to it quickly and put out what was quite some blaze"
Scary.

Sadly I can't find it, it's not on ESPN or Fox but the Valencia Villareal is on Fox Sports World. Valencia have just scored a dodgy penalty.

- Something from the Beeb. The England anthem for Euro 2004:
England's Euro 2004 song revealed
The Farm will perform the official England anthem for this summer's European Championships, the FA says.
The song, a new version of the Liverpool-based band's 1990 hit Altogether Now, is released on 31 May.
It has been edited by DJ Spoony and features additional vocals by the St Francis Xavier Boys Choir.
It has been a hit twice before, hitting number four on its original release and number 24 when recorded by Everton FC for the 1995 FA Cup Final.
The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show played the track for the first time after DJ Spoony delivered a copy to the studio in person.
It was originally inspired by the unofficial armistice on the Western Front on Christmas Day 1914, which saw British and German troops play a game of football in no-man's land.
With England fans set to travel in large numbers to Euro 2004, which takes place in Portugal in June and July, the Football Association used the song's title as its slogan for the tournament, to send a positive message and encourage good behaviour.

In an attempt to make you happy Webbie, I'll chime in with a comment on the England Anthem for Euro 2004.
I like it, solid choice in my opinion, I've been singing the original version since I read the story when I got up this morning. It's a good song, particularly if sung with a strong scouse accent
Come on then, someone sing with me,
All together now,
all together now,
all together now (in Port- u-gal?)....
They played it on radio one this morning apparently - anyone heard what they have done to the lyrics yet?

Better to get a familiar song than get some boy band and **** it up.
Loved the original and revived the career of me old mate Wiley (Pete of the Mighty Wah !)
The southern softies might not like singing it because of the Everton/Liverpool connection - same thing happened the last World Cup because Ant & Dec did an old Arsenal song.
Footie fans...so fickle.
(Or should that be thickle ?
)

Will get some of them singing it on the terraces. I'm sure the brass band are learning the tune right now.
Haven't heard the reworking yet. Will probably be available for download via Soulseek any day now.

I'm just waiting to see how many "alternative" Euro songs there will be this year.
So far this week I've read rumours about Blazing Squad doing their own version of the Tears for Fears song Shout, a reworking of the Dexy's Midnight Runners classic - Come on Eileen with Come on England instead by Fat Les?
It adds to the atmosphere of it all.
Just found yet another one.
Born in England Alternate Euro 2004 song

From the Beeb:
Pearce wants manager job
"Former England defender Stuart Pearce is keen to return to management.
Pearce has secured all his diplomas during the last two years spent as first-team coach at Manchester City.
He said: "I have an agreement with Kevin Keegan and chairman John Wardle that if a manager's job comes along, that's where I see my future."
"Nothing is in the pipeline and until something happens and while City are happy with me, I will stay and gather more knowledge."
Pearce's previous management post saw him take over at Nottingham Forest from Frank Clark in December 1996, but he was unable to prevent their relegation that season.
He said of his time at City under manager Kevin Keegan: "It has been brilliant for me.
"I have been involved in the Premiership, been involved in player negotiations and sat in on board meetings."
"I don't think as a young coach I could have had a better apprenticeship.
"Kevin has a wealth of experience at international level and with various clubs.
"His assistant Arthur Cox has been in the game for a million years and you can't learn from better people."
================================
I say give him the Citeh job for next season.
Alright I know that he doesn't have the experience, but he has the nerves of steel that Keegan doesn't have.
If we stay with the same manager then I can see us following Leeds.
In other gloomy news - Aberdeen seem to have gone on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Lost again. Stockie got a loss at Barnsley.
Another resignation of note: Steve McMahon has left Blackpool "by mutual consent." But there's been trouble at mill for a few months there now. He walked out in January but came back and eventually won the Leyland Daf or whatever the lower league trophy is called now.
Expect him to be with another club over the summer. Don't know which one, but the mangement merry-go-round should start soon.
The Arse are going for a record tomorrow - they have been unbeaten in the League all season and entertain the Cottagers.
Fully expect the ham to lay down and take it like a man.
(Pass the KY jelly somebody....)

Stuart Pearce = tosser
I'm in the market for a satelite dish (or as Delboy would say Statalite)
Basically I want fox sports world for the footy, anything else doesnt interest me but I realise I will have to pay for some shit channels I never watch, i'd just like to keep this to a minimum. I see dish network do a deal for 50 bux. Anyone gone with them? How much are you paying for fox sports world etc.?

I pay like $39.99 for the total choice package
then an extra $9.99 for the sports pack.
I do watch other sports channels like the Outdoor life network in the summer for the Tour De France
Speed has the Formula 1.
Fox sports world appeared to show more Scottish Football last year than this year. Or I just missed it.
