The potential giant killing games are the best bit of the cup. Watching multimillionaire Prem stars trot out on a 'ploughed' pitch against 11 assorted plumbers, mechanics, PE teachers etc, at a tiny but bursting at the seams ground with at least a dozen of the crowd perched in trees / on lorries...

Wouldn't recommend driving especially in summer! Bus service goes from right outside Naples airport to Sorrento Station - well worth...
Cheaper ticket pricing for the cup does favour the home team as they are only obliged to share a % of ticket revenue not any additional matchday revenue. From a purely financial point of view the Macclesfield director has a point as Wednesday do far better out of cheaper tickets than...

If we end up playing (as we should IMO) 433 then Sturridge may have a role, but if we do decide to go 442 then lambert would be infinitely better as a foil for rooney.
I had one of these as well - now being used in a school's "How Things Used to Look" exhibit :)
I seem to remember when I first got it texting was free as they didn't think anyone would really use it.....
3 once sent multiple SIM cards to my old address which they tried to say I hadn't changed... despite the fact they had managed to bill me successfully for 2 years at my current address. When I explained what a massive inconvenience it was not to have a phone, they suggested I went to my old...
While I completely agree that FIFA is a disgustingly corrupt organisation, and that the bidding process was seriously flawed, it has raised an interesting point. If we refuse to ever hold a winter world cup as it will cause too much inconvenience to the money-spinning European leagues, are we...
