Hi, Italy dispatched Germany with an almost Germanic efficiency. A final played in the most famous stadium and city in football. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUYD4joNuvs

Hi, This is the game Italy v Brazil 1982.

Hi, What a great performance by Liverpool in the derby. Man City look unstoppable in the Prem. Looks like I've done me money on Chelsea after they miss Mata to unlock a tight Hammers defence.

Hi, I gave Italy to win it on here so I hope some boardies had a win. Very good result for me. I prefer to remember the great performance v Brazil.

Hi, I have fond memories of the 1982 WC. Italy failing to win a game in the group games, knocking out Brazil 3-2 when a draw would have got Brazil through. Beating Germany in the final. Paulo Rossi, who had served a 2 year ban for corruption winning the World Cup for Italy. Redemption! Everything good and bad about Italian football was in the World Cup. The best of all IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V1jb4ob8cU

Scousers are excited by tonights game, even here in London. Mata joins Utd, great player, United were lucky that Jose wants only one special one at the Bridge.

Hi, My mate is flying to BKK with them next month. I don't fly with Arab airlines, that's just me.

Hi, Ta. Maybe that will help.

Hi, Maybe its just me but I struggle to find the right turn-off off of WS to find this place. Have any of the ex-pats an idiot proof way of taking the right route?

Hi, You make good points. If you think Man Utd is the biggest of the Glazers worries look at my post above.

Hi, Last year was a very strange year. Man City and Chelsea didn't play to their potential in the League. If either of those two teams had played last year like they are playing this year Fergie would not have won the League. He was schrewd enough to know that and got out while he could.

Hi, Fergies success will look even better with failure after his departure. I agree Mourinho would have likely done better than Moyes but he would have demanded lots of dosh to buy players. I'm not sure the money is there.

Hi, Chelsea prove much too strong for Man Utd. Moyes needs a few years to sort out the mess left by Fergie. Spurs and Adebayor continue their improvement under Sherwood.

Hi, It's a make or break week for Man Utd. Chelsea seem to be gathering steam and RVP and Rooney are missing.Swansea v Spurs should be a cracking game as well.

Hi, Watch out for the Indian tailors.

Hi, Sorry old boy. Another solid show from Arsenal. We would have won the league last year with this level of performance.

Hi, Really enjoyed the game at Newcastle. City showed talent in a hostile environment.Dreadful challenge on Nasri, that player has no place on a football pitch. Liverpool get therub of the green against Stoke. Never thought I'd see Stoke play such good football.

Hi, We are all on the road! I dont know how much the Glazers have to play with. I think their main business in US ain't doing too well. Great win for West Ham yesterday. Everton continue to look a good side with a good esprit de corps.

Hi, The least interesting round of games in the Prem this weekend. Cardiff v West Ham is the best one I think. Cardiff ain't bad at home and I think they can make Sam ever sadder. Swansea return to the scene of their great victory over Man Utd. Can they beat them twice in a row ? I think Moyes needs a few years to sort out the team, but will he get the time ?

Hi, That was my reading of the situation as well. Man City and Chelsea look to be the two to fight it out now with Arsenal finishing 3rd. Stoke almost beat Everton who seem to be going through a bad patch. It looks like the second half of the season is going to be easier for the top clubs with more resources, like Chelsea winning at Southampton.

Hi, Well called. Liverpool have performed well in the two big games. Felt they were a bit unlucky in Manchester.

Hi, Liverpool top at Christmas . Who would have thought ? Chelsea were negative last night but a draw wasn't too bad for either team. Not a bad game IMO despite the talking heads saying it was dire. Difficult conditions to play in, very windy and heavy rain.

Hi, Everton produce another great performance to get into the top 4. Stoke beat Villa to go into the top half of the table on Saturday. Mark Hughes seems to be having a good effect on their style of football. Man City seem to be the strongest team at the moment but struggled to beat a poor Fulham team. Man Utd are going through a period of playing weak opposition but will have to be better when they play stronger teams. Arsenal need at least a draw tonight to stay in the mix.

Hi, Yeah, definite advantage but I think there are too many weak links in the team. They are getting better though. Suarez is a bit like Best was in his time, able to win games on his own. Madrid will be in for him in the summer.

Hi, Unremarkable line up for this round of games, with the exception of Arsenal v Chelsea on Monday night. Cardiff are likely to have a new manager after Tan loses it with Malkey. Think I'll do some Christmas shopping until Monday night.
