Miss the banter! Real football (not premiershite via Foxtel - Sky to you guys) Proper Guiness, but not much else!!
Follow Adelaide United (who are in the Semi Finals on the Asian Champions League) and who could play the Manc Scum bags in Japan in the world cup championship in Feb (?) - Standard of Play(?) slightly above BPL - probably at the top end of League 2

Interesting figures, 40.9% Of those who have voted live In Devon while 40.9% live elsewhere In the UK. 9% In Europe 9% In the rest Of the world. I have worked out the four In the rest Of the world, but can't work Out the four In Europe. So can you make yourselves known  |
