i wouldnt bet on it. arsenal shd hav a way better goal diff than us.
chelsea r up a goal against the saints.
its FA cup for us..... sir alec wants to but the real madrid gk ikaer casillas. he'd b a good buy 4 nxt season i guess.

i agree with u on narain. he's outclassed his team mate n as they say in F1 "there's no rivalry like tht between team-mates"

I do watch WWE also.. sometimes... its like watching a sitcom. divas r great. fights r fake but fun ... n the confrontations really cool. they know how to talk..... especially john sena... he's a damn good rapper.

abt rugby.... man u shd hav watched jonah lomu (NZ) fly past opponents.... u'd hav never said "dnt like rugby". It's as physical a game as any. people get hit much worse than wwe.

Federer's playing unbelivable stuff. hope safin comes back to form. he's the only one who can touch him.

i totally agree. federer is the king. only his greatness can become his weakness. and yes safin came close to becoming better, but roger is back again. most imp thing about him is that he's down to earth so doesnt take his opponents lightly. as far is rugby i stand my ground. man i dont get the point of banging heads for the ball.

federer demolishes Agassi(my fave) again. hope united get casillas and a central midfield player for keane and someone on left for giggs. Downing? he's also good,

no surprises ... agassi struggles to hold serve against roger. federer can only b beaten by a good server. safin, roddick n the like unless he's having a really offday.

left wing's a prob for us. downing's good. good on the ball. nice passer. too young though. we also need a good free kick taker. when was the last time we got a goal form the free kick (wayne rooney on his debut i guess!!!).

Ferrari F2005 has had a nightmare of a debut. its sad to see michael limping off. rubens struggling also i guess. me changed my channel once i saw michael's gearbox fail.

have you checked joachim johansson out. this guy has the record for the highest no. of aces served. didn't c the F1 once i saw michael in the retired list. saha and smith are said to be on newcastle's wish list. love smith. would hate to c him go. he cud be tried out in central midfield.

me 2 luv smith. he's a team-man. wears his heart on his sleeves. could b a replacement for keane.

joachim johansson - the tall sweede - right??? he's a got a good serve. not too sure if he's got anything else. can he do enough to break the federer serve???
i guess he can win tie-breakers....

newcastle hav got huge probs yaar. did u see dyer n bowyer get into a fight with each other at st. james' park. its a shocker. dnt know wht started the fight though??

arre wht happened to ole gunnar solskjaer.... has he not recovered yet????

roger federer won the nasdaq 100 beating rafael nadal 2-6 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-1.
federer's 18th consecutive win in a final. man!!!! did nadal give him a scare or wht........ federer was really lucky to win this one. nadal outplayed a completely lackluster federer in the first set. in the second, roger was up 5-2 but nadal came roaring back to win it in the tie-breaker. when nadal broke roger to go up 4-1 in the 3rd set it looked like the federer express was coming to a grinding halt.
but federer came back n with a bit luck won the 3rd set. n then he completely over powered a visibly tired nadal in the last 2 sets...........

kim clijsters's back as well. she beat sharapova in straight sets in the womens final.
