I'm sure you're right Mat. I'm well happy. Apparently Boro are glad he left though

Steve Gibson has admitted his "relief" at Mark Viduka's Middlesbrough exit - after confessing their final offer to him made him feel "uneasy".

Hehe! No doubt. We will be enjoying that great level of football come August too.

This is classic Viduka - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyx8GDQbhbQ

Best performance for Leeds.

Presumably shortly to be followed by the inevitable, and related, next new experience...

The FA have a sense of humour - we're away at Bolton first game. Then at home to Arsenal in midweek. I do hope Henry leaves early if he's going to

I read an article by a Gooner journo yesterday and he basically said that the Henry leaving thing is total bollocks - the newspapers are desperate for football column inches (when there is basically no football news) - so they take any quote (even some several years old), twist it, distort it, or just make it up, and print that.
Henry will only leave Arsenal this summer if Arsenal sell him. And they won't.

Newcastle - Arsenal 1st midweek game... nil-nil draw.

Surely the release of the fixture lists is the cue for a 07/08 thread to be made

Don't worry luv, the Wednesday game has already been called off by the looks of it due to the Arse having Champions league qualifiers

Yes, but legal action will prevent you from starting the new thread until the final position of the old thread is determined by an inquiry in the decision to close the old one
