Layla means that she has Turkey in the lucky dip where she works.I've got Spain and stand to win £60 if Spain win Euro 2008.

Fantastic news imo.I can understand some people on here being sceptical about Scolari,but they'll soon come round to what an excellent,charasmatic manager he is. Fair enough,this is his first job in Europe,but he has won South America's Champions League(twice),and trust me,the Copa Libatadores is no 'mickey mouse cup',and i'm sure had of Scolari taken a job in Europe before,say an AC Milan,Barca etc,he would of won the Champions League by now. Scolari will also have pulling power in the transfer market,as his CV speaks for itself and players out there will want to work for him. Scolari made Brazil into world champions,Scolari transformed the Portuguese national team from a pub team into one of the most feared international outfits in the world. On this showing,what he can do at Chelsea knows no bounds.If the rest of the Premiership and Europe are not shaking in their boots,they should be. When 'Big Phil' speaks,people listen.And that is English enough for me.

Ok,i've registered,created my team,but when i enter the code to join the league,it tells me the code is 'invalid'. Has the code changed?.Anyone know?

Clarke will walk away himself.Could'nt get my nut round Ten Cate.Came across as a bit of a loose cannon to me.A right basket case. My money's on Sparky Hughes.

Does this go to the tune of 'hi ho hi ho' (from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs') by any chance? Good effort btw :thumbsup:

Does anyone know the deadline day that the official squads have to be submitted by the respective Nations?.No point doing my team until i actually know what players are taking part.

I'll hazzard a guess that Arnessen is behind Bosingwa's signing,while Kenyon/Zahavi might be behind the Robinho rumours.

Good point Layla.Those fans whose flight was cancelled would of been able to board an alternative flight had of the final been in a more closer European City,as Moscow is an aproximate 5/6 hour flight,that does not include the 3 hour wait clearing customs,there was no chance for those fans. I would of been proper vexed had i of been among those whose flight got cancelled.I hope they get refunded.

What's that got to do with Grunt being sacked?.Anyway,i'm sure Ballack took a penalty(1st one),would of been great if he would of been allowed to take two penalties in the shootout. The order went like this:Ballack,Lampard,Belletti,A Cole,JT,Anelka(sudden death)

Had of the final been held in a more reputable European City like Paris,Amsterdam,Madrid etc,we would of had more of a genuine support. A pal of mine went to Moscow and he told me how Chelsea fans were forced to stay in the fanzone's in Red Square.Some had to stay there for 6 hours+. What a way to spend a day .

Well done fella.It takes a big man to apologise.Though i'm sure your comments were born out of frustration to us losing. Anyway's.Water under the bridge now :thumbsup:

The letter of apology shows what a noble man he is,even though he did'nt have to aplologise as we all knew he cared. Shame Drogba has'nt aplogised for his petty sending off,which i believe what cost us the game.That is the difference between humility and blatant arrogance.

I nearly fell off my chair when i heard the news of Grant's sacking I've had to cringe at some press reports this morning.Everyone knew this was on the cards,and as misschief said,Grant should'nt of been offered the job in the first place. I wonder how many clubs will be offering their services to Grant in the summer? As for the new manager.I doubt we'll wait till the end of Euro 2008,so we can rule out Hiddink and Scolari. We'd all love Jose to return,but only the deluded will believe in that happening.My choice would be Mark Hughes. Kenyon's choice will be his mate Sven.Rijkaard is another popular choice,but our squad does not suit his expansive style of play and we would have to make more big money signing's,which is not really needed. As for Grant.This is football.get over it.

My money's on Germany to win Euro 2008(nothing personal badboy).I'm half Portuguese but just can't bring myself to supporting a team that contains that Ronaldo wanker(sorry mum & dad). Badboy's right about Spain,they simply don't show up for the big tournaments and don't play as a team,but they're not alone badboy as you well know about your beloved Dutch. Croatia are my dark horses. My semi final predictions: Germany Portugal Holland Croatia

Sorry to hear that.I know a few bods that were stranded at Gatwick.Shoddy flight arrangements and shoddy orginisation.Hopefully the company will refund all fans affected and we get another bite of the cherry next year in Rome :thumbsup:

Was too inibriated/hungover/gutted,call it what you want to come on here yesterday. Firstly Hingis:i won't gang up on you,but i certainly don't endorse your comments about Terry,and i'm sure that most of the members on here have spoken for the majority of us fans. Well,what can i say?.Humbled but absoloutely proud of our boys,except for Drogba,who totally let down himself,his team mates and more importantly the thousands of travelling fans who spent hundreds,some,thousands of pounds to make the journey.I'll be glad to see the back of him,and i really make no apologies for saying that. JT was man enough to take a penalty-shows exactly the legend he is to Chelsea. Anelka?.I'm in two minds about him.One tells me he just did'nt care,the other tells me,if he was reluctant to take a pen,he certainly should'nt be forced unto taking one.His body language told he just did'nt fancy it. But had'nt of Drogba acted so petulantly towards Vidic,we would'nt be talking about if's and but's. We'll be back next year,better and stronger. Now we're trophyless,(something not unusual to me),hopefully the gloryhunters will fuck off and support Yahnited or whoever.

I voted for badboy's mate Huntelaar.ET is another Drogba,Villa does'nt want to play for us anyway,so why should we give him attention?. Will be interesting to see Huntelaar at Euro 08 for the Oranje.He could just be our man to replace the 'stupid slapper'

Enjoy yourself too fella.Might start my drinking soon.Boy do i need a drink.

Talksport were reporting this morning that Ballack was seen with a face like thunder earlier. Don't tell me that Grunt has dropped him,or playing him out of position? Then again,it is Talksport .

You need to register first,Zinteck,then set up your online account.You can't do it randomly. This is it boys and girls,only 5 hours to go.I'm heading for my local at around 6ish,then it's constant drinking. Hope you're all well btw. I'm fucking nervous,but confident that 'ol big ears' WILL be wearing blue ribbons by the end of the night. Enjoy the game and sing your fucking hearts out

Good luck to Rangers for this evening.Very sad imo all these Celtic fans wanting Zenit to win. Is'nt jealousy so destructive? Good luck Gers,Follow follow

Well done to City for reaching the play off final,and for putting Palace in their place.They should fancy their chances against Hull,who should finish off Watford this evening.

Mate,you're sister was not alone.There was'nt a dry eye in the Matthew Harding stand when Lampard slotted the penalty and cried in front of us. An emotional moment that will never be forgotten.

True.It was heart in mouth moment when Babel scored,which was a hit and hope shot. Amazing how every goal was scored in front of the Matthew Harding.

I must say,Riise did look nervy when he had to defend in front of the Matthew Harding.The man got pelters off us.
