@JPBIndy Yep. If these walls could talk eh.. (they'd wonder where the girls are and why ESPN's Euro 96 highlights are always on). about 11 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to JPBIndy
#FF for my flatmate @NickMillerF365 - he writes some great stuff online but still dreams of his big break with the Daily Mirror, apparently. about 18 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone
@Scottwilsonecho Good piece. Issues like team spirit and dangerous precedents are understandably boring to football fans but are important. about 20 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Scottwilsonecho
@DaveMcGlashan I like the line 'we lost the tickets'. It was you wasn't it. about 20 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to DaveMcGlashan
Interesting to see a lot of fans of other clubs criticising Chelsea for signing Hulk. Sounds like a case of the green-eyed monster. about 21 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone

Torres (92/28) needs one goal to become Spain’s joint-third top-scorer with… Hierro, who did it in fewer games (89/29). Brilliant by Hierro. 4:46 AM May 31st via web

@BryanMore Generally agree but I think most people do rate Carrick. And more by the day. By the France game he'd have won England the Euros. 12:20 AM May 31st via web in reply to BryanMore
@BryanMore Few notice him? Very funny. 12:14 AM May 31st via web in reply to BryanMore
Michael Carrick is definitely the world's most improved player over the last four weeks. 12:04 AM May 31st via web
