What'll happen to that 24million he stole I wonder? Will it be given back to Chile?

The thing is... it's actually possible to do that, its just expensive.. They do it in 24 and spooks all the time.

No.. it was a shitty little place around the corner in Newton Court, we'd look on in envy at your laminate floor and plants in reception. We had flea infested carpet, the reception door was blocked off by dell boxes so guests had to come in through the staff room which was basically two tables and four vending machines.

Hurrah?

I worked in the tech park last year. I hated it

Bargain http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/store/disp...80&id=14440 The game on it's own is £30.. moral question... is this a good present for my 12yr old cousin?

Money.. More countries participate in tournament so more people will watch it and UEFA could probably charge more for advertising. It'd also allow Wales, Ireland and Scotland to play - could be interesting.

Uefa is to consider the possible expansion of the European championship from 16 teams to 24, possibly in time for the 2012 tournament. Chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson revealed it has been discussed by Uefa at its executive committee meeting. It will be put to Uefa's congress in Dusseldorf in January, that will decide whether to have a feasibility study. Olsson said: "Individual members of the Executive Committee have already spoken positively about the idea." He admitted the proposal could become a reality in time for Euro 2012, with Ukraine-Poland and Croatia-Hungary having made joint bids and Italy mounting a solo bid. Uefa is scheduled to announce the winning bid in April 2007. Olsson added: "If Congress is also in favour - and I see no reason why it would not be - then we would have course have to inform the three bidders for Euro 2012 and see if they can provide solutions for 24 teams. "I think it would still be possible to stage a 24-team competition using the planned eight stadiums but there are a lot of other factors like hotel capacities that make it closer to the organising of a 32-team competition. "So there are a lot of things to check." The idea of an expanded European Championships was put to Uefa by the Scottish Football Association with support from the Republic of Ireland, Latvia and Sweden.

He was on sky sports this morning with Portsmouth Gary O'Neil . I thought he came across as alright really, they were giving away a man utd book worth three grand and he said it'd be a useful coaster He seems to be knowledgable about prozone and stats and he was saying how he and O'Neil cover on average 13 kilometres a game. When reviewing the Portsmouth game he said we were unlucky as both goals were well taken and Howard could not have done anything to stop either of them. He also said he was a boyhood Evertonian - not sure if he still is.

Did you see Sol Campbell kicking out ala Beckham 98 at Vaughan after the final whistle? Vaughan shoved him back - he's got a bad temper when things go against him. Campbell was a disgrace though, you could hear him on the mic saying "fuck off", Clattenburg came over and had a word with him and you could see him walk away afterwards mouthing "fucking hell". When Vaughan was in school he head butted a keeper for saving one of his shots (so I heard.. ).

When was this interview on?

It'd be his wife I think? Actually I heard a rumour that Lord Grantchester wanted to buy the club outright and Kenwright refused, im not sure how much truth is in that. This was before True Blue Holding/The Greggs were around.

Im not allowed... parents have put an embargo on my gaming purchases until after christmas. I have Gears of War, GRAW and the new Splinter Cell incoming.. I've actually got a few games already.. just dont bother PGR 3 Perfect Dark Farcry Table Tennis The Outfit Amped 3 PES 6 X-Men Movie Kameo See? Apparently Game are offering a feeble £10 for Tiger Woods 07 if you decide to sell it, disgusting isn't it?

Sadly, That's probably based on a true story. Funny though.

Speaking of lowering the tone.. Ray sang YWNA and declared it the song of the city. He also went through to the final with Leona. I hope she wins it next week. I want her babies.

Or did you also know this? I discovered this fact today. When someone says they are flogging a dead horse I thought they meant that I am trying to sell a dead horse that nobody wants. Why would anyone want to buy a dead horse, especially from me? Today, I have discovered that its referring to the old style flog and it means whipping the horse like they do in the races.. treating a dead horse like its involved in a race is pointless as it will never go any faster no matter how much you flog it therefore still pointless but for a different reason. Are there any old phrases that you didn't or dont understand the meaning of? It might make a funny topic.

Bart Dude (sorry I don't know your real name!) - Following on from Willo's advice. I recently opened a http://www.smile.co.uk account. Im really impressed with them too. They're call centre is based between Liverpool and Manchester somewhere in the sticks so its a lot easier than speaking to someone with ESL in Delhi.

This game looks like amazing. It just looks so real. http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/

I read Moyes tried to bring him in but was too late and he had signed for Bolton.

It's just a black hoody

We interviewed the Everton and England goal-nabber for our new issue - out now! - and he wouldn't stop talking. So here are the questions we didn't have space for in the magazine... You've had a great start at Everton... Yeah, I've been delighted with it. I couldn't have asked for a better start - I scored on my début. I'm delighted with the boys here - they've really helped me to settle in straight away and they're a great bunch of lads. I'd like to say thanks to them really, because week in, week out, they've helped me to score goals. And I'm delighted to be scoring goals. Sounds like there's a good atmosphere there... Yeah, there is. There's a great atmosphere. There's Stubbsie, Leon Osman, Tim Cahill and Beats, Mikel Arteta - they're all really easy to like because they're down to earth people and get on with. Were there any initiations? I had to sing a song in Dallas on our pre-season tour! All the new boys and the young lads had to. I went on the internet to get the lyrics for Stand By Me, printed them off and I'd been singing them to myself and practising in my room every night. At the end of the meal, Joseph Yobo tinkled his glass with a knife and we all had to stand up and sing our songs. It was terrifying but I sang the first chorus and the rest of the boys joined in. There was some great banter and it was a good night out. Were you hoping one of the big four clubs would come in for you? No. Obviously I was grateful for all the clubs that came in and I've got a great respect for all the managers that did that. But it nice to feel wanted. It's like a good problem to have: three Premiership teams come in and want you. It's better than having none. I feel as if I'm a lucky person to have that opportunity in life. But Everton are a great team. What's it like to be back in the Premiership? Quality! The first game was nerve-wracking because I hadn't scored in pre-season, but to get that first goal was fantastic. A dream come true, because the fans are so passionate up here. In London there's so many teams and the support is spread out, but here there's two big ones, it's red and blues and the city is split between the two and it's so passionate it's frightening. When they ran on the pitch during the pre-season game against Bury, they took my boots and my shirt and my socks! It was a great feeling, even though I hadn't scored a goal. I was thinking, God, don't take my shorts because the slips were built inside and I would have been naked. But they were class, it wasn't threatening at all! Those fans are something special... That atmosphere is the main reason I signed for Everton. To play in front of 40,000 people at home week in, week-out is superb. I remember we played Blackburn away at the start of the season and we were one nil down. Tim Cahill scored with the last kick and the fans - f*cking hell - they came over the barriers and even though I hadn't scored it was the most intense celebration ever. It was fantastic. The first year in the Premiership was a massive learning curve... Yeah, I scored a lot of goals and got my début from England and I guess after all that people were expecting me to leave Palace. But I stayed and scored more goals for Palace and that was a great feeling. I had a fantastic four years with Palace. Would you have preferred to have come up with Palace rather than sign for a new club? That's a hard one. Obviously at the time I was at Palace so my heart was with them and my aim was to get back up with them. Once we went down I signed a new contract with Palace and signed my future to Palace. That season I wanted to go up, but it didn't happen so I had to sit down with my family and decided that I had to leave. The chairman was fine with me, brilliant in fact, he always has been. He respected my decision at the end of the season when we didn't go back up and as long as he got the right price and we were both happy, it was the right time to move. Who did you support as a kid? I've always supported Arsenal because a lot of my family were from there - my uncles, my auntie, so we used to go up there every other weekend and my Dad used to take me to all the games. We would stand on the old Clock End and Perry Groves was in the team alongside Kevin Campbell, Paul Merson, Alan Smith and Ian Wright. So that was the team I followed as a kid. Who was your favourite player? Probably Ian Wright. You can tell he's a brilliant character because of what he's done since in TV - he's a great person and a natural goalscorer. If the ball was there, he'd bang in the back of the net. He's the kind of person that I've always idolised and followed. I tried to learn off him too. He was brilliant and to see him score goals for Arsenal would make you want to do it yourself. I'm thankful that I've got that chance now. Did you think you were going to make the World Cup last summer? At the time I knew what I had to do was to keep my form up. Once I'd got my head around being in the Championship I worked my hardest for Crystal Palace, worked week in week out and kept my fingers crossed it would be enough. I was quite surprised to be in his preliminary squad, because to travel with the boys in Portugal was great, but then Wayne and Michael came back, but just to be involved was great. To be in the World Cup atmosphere was still a buzz. Did you enjoy watching the World Cup? Yea, because I'm an England fan through and through. I'll always support them, even if I'm playing for them or not. It was great to watch - it's entertaining for everyone and if you don't watch it, you're missing out. When Michael Owen got injured, did you think "I wish he'd taken me"? Yeah, you always think it, but it was always going to happen. Someone was always going to get injured, it happens every World Cup. You can think what if, but you have to go with it. Now you're been hailed as the future of England... I'm excited, but obviously Everton are my bread and butter - they pay the wages. I just want to do well for them and anything that comes after that is a bonus. I just want to be in the England loop. To get on the pitch is always brilliant. I have to keep working hard and improving. I was devastated to be injured recently because I felt I was close as I could be to getting into the England team again. But my hamstring went and I couldn't make it.

Calm down

Yeah, they are Everton players. Baxter has pulled out. Rodwell is playing however.. He is really good.. just watch it
