Leicester has a game today...so someone who is close, might aswell catch a bit of Championship action. If one fancies that over, lets say, Chelski - Juve...which I doubt.

Pretty epic tie yesty with Real forcing its way past ManC. Im starting to like Hart more and more...really quality keeper. :tup: And Yaya Toure was impressive aswell. Really entertaining event all in all. :tup: Right team won too. ;) I have a bit of sympathy for the Hoops as they are the ones who kicked our boys out of the competition... but my bet is on Benfica. Benfica +1 tho, so I left the door open for the draw. I hear Samaras is out which is a big blow.

Harts the best keeper in the world imho........... and Samaras is fucking awful, thats a bonus for Celtic :lol:

Sorry for derailing this thread a bit btw. :lol: I know nothing about cars, so... :mrgreen:
Yeah, Hart is definitely up there with Casillas and Neuer... Well, Samaras offers a wide option...big, strong, can hold up ball... But as I don't regularly watch Celtic play, his star might be falling. Experience if nothing else he has. :D

We don't have Peugeots over here so I had to Google and see what that was...150hp with the turbo...much like my modified Nissan NX, but normally aspirated. Don't they only have 80hp unless it's the turbo version?

..as for a Reliant Robin...

You'll be rounding one of those corners one day and you'll think to yourself, "How boring this is! How much more fun would I be having right now, rounding this corner at break neck speeds in a three-wheeled Reliant! I should've listened to DGX!!!"

You wait.
