Hurray!

Is that Dora game a GBA game? We're probably getting Aidan a GBA (or SP) for Christmas. The main thinking was that he could watch Dora and Spongebob videos on it on the plane to England, but I daresay we'll get him the odd game for it too. :D
Nah. PC. My GBA has been completely adopted, now. :)
Does SB Jr. play the Dora games on the Nick Jr. website? If he doesn't, you'll probably never get your PC back if you let him! :lol: If he does, you probably already know this! :D

He used to, but since he swiped my GBA, he prefers the likes of Mario and Sonic. Growing up too fast as ever, I guess. ;)

Liverpool were poor. Bolton weren't. As I suspected, this seems to be a transitional year for the 'Pool, which is something they really didn't need.

Oh, and isn't it funny that donkey Heskey has been left out of the England squad now he plays for a less fashionable team? He should have been out of it years ago, mind, so better late than never! :D

Yeah. Alonso and Garcia looked pretty tasty, though. That game had 0-0 written all over it - their goal was just a defensive fuck-up on our part. Hope Sami won't be out for too long.

And Garcia's goal was stone-cold onside.

I hate those kind of mediocre, frustrating games.

Not a huge surprise in my opinion. I was having a football chat last Friday with a friend and we both gave him 5 more games. Looks like the Toon Directors were more pissed off than we thought.

I think Bobby was gradually losing the plot. He also seemed to be somewhat more dictatorial than is his usual style of management and seemed to become very bitter. I suppose the only question remaining was "would they sack him?", and that's now been answered.

It also puts an end to the Rooney fantasy. Who'll replace him though?

On the contrary, I think they'll try extra hard to get Rooney now, to sweeten the fans.

Unbelievable - unless they have someone very good lined up to replace him.

But where do you find a better manager? I can't believe Martin O'Neill would give up Champions League football for us. Peter Reid's a nice chap but...

Well, the rumour was Mary Poppins himself was going to take over at the end of the year. Which could be ... amusing, I guess.

They can't sack Sir Bobby...

This is a bleak day for English football. :(

I'm an Alan Shearer fan. But as a player, not a manager. I would be extremely dubious were he to take charge, particularly as a player-manager.

At least there's two weeks to get a new manager in and working with the players...
