Tony Morley - Commerntator on the club's own radio station and local radio
Paul McGrath - lives in County Wexford
Tony Daley - Fitness coach at Wolves
Paul Merson - TV commentator
Tony Hateley - Soft drink company rep
Gareth Southgate - Manager of Middlesbrough
David Platt - Works in the media
Andy Gray - Football presenter for Sky Sports
Brian Little - Manager of Wrexham
Gary Shaw - Involved in the media and youth coaching
Peter Withe - Lives and works in Brisbane, Australia

Hi Catherine, how are you.....yes it was fasicnating finding out what happened to the 'stars' of yesterday...I remember Gary Shaw bless him when he spoke he made David Beckham sound inteligent....and remember Tony Coton the Blue's goalkeeper...well I used to go the gym with him...there thats my claim to football fame!

Just a few intresting pointers tonight-

1) England v Switzerland (friendly)
let hope capello knows his stuff.

2) It the Manchester Derby this weekend-you never know we have been known to wipe the smile of the red's faces.


My local is opening at 11am (not the pig btw)
and closing it's doors at 12.00 and if your not in you have no chance-hey a whole pub with reds and blues together lol

enjoy the match

well I have a football dilemma folks
friend of mine may be able to get me and OH tickets for the derby on sat-but it's in the united end behind fergie-so the question is
1) do I go and watch my beloved city and compromise my beliefs or
2) do I grin and bear it

it's a hard decision to make

Not that bothered about football, but i do hope Man Utd get respect tomorrow. Real fans wont ruin it just the idiots who want problems.

Sure there'll be a dignified silence tomorrow Catherine
enjoy the match.

Well!! Newcastle lost again! but.........wait for it!!........... our local town side Whitley Bay beat Truro (the favourites) 3---0 in the F.A. Vase
yess! thank the Lord :O)) and they played away, long way to travel.
Mau

I dont think city or utd fans will do anything to disrupt tomorrows game it will be the hooligans who go to a match hoping for trouble. Hope both teams have a good game.
