how fast do you walk republicofwhite?

I'm guessing "normal" pace.......not in the same league as paul "usain bolt"_oshea

[republicofwhite]

I'll allow the eloquence of my spokesman Sligo Hornet to succinctly summarise my retort to that... It is a bit of a trek in fairness, but I'll round it off to twenty to thirty minutes just for your appeasement, but for those of us that are efficient there's always the 22 Bus...

But,yes, with a keyboard at least he is rather eloquent

Is that a good squad?

No John Utaka? Only asking cos I met him a few months back and didn't know who he was!

[NeilMcD]

Greenforever are you still organising that taxi from Gatwick to Fulham on the Friday around 1.

[Gather round]

Nigeria's squad (a month early )

Defenders: Dennis Aogo (Hamburg, Germany)

I saw Aogo score with a 30m spectacular in a U-21 qualifier against Northern Ireland at the start of this season.

He was playing for Germany then.

[Yard of Pace]

Seems like a decent squad, some well-known names there. And based in about 12 different countries!

[Bluetonic]

Defenders: Joseph Yobo (Everton, England)

Busy weekend for Joey - he'll be playing in the cup final in Wembley 15 hours after this game

Turns out he's actually ineligible (due to him playing for Germany) and will not be in the squad. Same thing happened with them and Carlton Cole last year...at least their trying though, wouldn't mind seeing Simon Cox or Kyle Naughton named regardless of their decisions. It could be embarassing though I suppose.

[the doc]

Any news as to when Trapp will be naming the same squad for this game?

Who?

[carloz]

Anybody know Craven Cottage well. Just wondering where it would be best to get seats. Ill be in London that week

[Stuttgart88]

No bad seat in the ground. Irish fans main section is Hammersmith End, Nigeria are in the opposite end. If you want to get in and out quick go to the main stand side on to the pitch but if it's a nice summer night there's no better place to be than the Riverside stand behind which you can buy bottled beer & drink it overlooking the Thames.

[NeilMcD]

Yeah thats what I am doing. I did it last year and enjoyed the few beers at half time.

Ya ive been to most grounds in london at this stage, bar your local stutts, but Craven Cottage is def my favourite and why I have returned quite a few times.

[RonnieB]

Looking forward to this, got my tickets ages back from the very efficient Fulham FC, got a few together in the Hammersmith end. All I have to do now is figure out how to get around London, doesnt look that big on the map..

I cannot imagine it any larger than Roscommon Town on a friday evening or after Mass on the Sunday..

It depends whether or not canon ball was saying mass or not
