It would be nice to see one or two of the other group games on during that week as well but those 2 games are the main ones. Cheers.

we stayed in the art william for one night and it was a lovely 4 star hotel. also stayed in the old city hotel which was a bit of a kip but did exactly what it said on the tin.

There is a perfect square (2 squares actually, 200 metres apart) to descend on with bars lining the street beside it. Beers prices will vary here but pints of Heineken (the nicest heino I have ever tasted) were about 1.70.
The old town square in prague looks ideal as well.
Both Prague and Brat accept euro but won't accept czech money in Brat and visa versa.
Sky sports et al is widely available in both countries.

Will be writing up a full guide this week when I dry out!

Here's on for YBIG:

Roy Keane is having a rant at WAGs in today's paper's saying one guy wouldn't return his calls because his wife wanted him to play in London.

“We had a player this summer who didn’t even ring us back because his wife wanted to move to London — he didn’t even have the courtesy to pick the phone up. And shopping was mentioned. "

How was shopping mentioned if he wouldn't talk to him?

**citizenerased** · 15/08/2007, 9:05 AM

possibly from a third party known as 'an Agent'

Yeah I was thinking that myself. I reckon it must be the guy Baird who went to Fulham rather than Sunderland.

That's on Sunday. I wouldn't mind seeing the France - Argentina match on Friday night either.

How do you personally think you rank (and have ranked over your career) against the best keepers in the world?

Do you have ambitions to play for a bigger club than Newcastle?

**Paulie** · 28/08/2007, 4:42 PM

Is there a problem with the boys in green website at the moment? I've been trying to open up the guide for the double header over the last couple of days but for some reason it won't open.
