The first game at the Reebok is worth a couple of quid more than the last at Burnden. Somebody was taking orders at ??9.99 for the Chelsea prog on ebay this morning...his ad has gone which suggests they've been sold. I cant do links.[/url]

If anybody doesnt know several current season Chelsea away programmes are going for over ??40 on ebay (WBA,Birmingham,Fulham,C.Palace)...Chelseas first title for 50 years and Londoners get decent wages to spend on these things. Title clinching programmes normally have a premium to them as well. 2003/04....Arsenal won the league at Spurs the programme was going for ??20 on ebay at the time but i picked one up for ??8 a few weeks ago. 2001/02...Arsenal won the title at Man U the programme goes for around a tenner. 1998/99 Man U beat Spurs at Old Trafford the programme goes for ??30 - ??50 on ebay. The chances are the Bolton v Chelsea programme will be sought after.On the downside the club are printing more than normal and theres already one chap on ebay offering them at ??13.50 plus postage. I'll be picking up a few and storing them in the attic as an "investment"

If anyone can find whos 3rd and 4th in the Russian league id be most obliged. I've always fancied ice skating in Gorky Park in December.

Currently in Uefa Cup positions. Germany....Werder Bremen,Hamburg,Bayer Leverkusen Spain....Villareal,Real Betis,Valencia Italy...Udinese,Palermo,Liverno France..Rennes,Auxerre,Paris st germain Turkey..Besiktas Bulgaria....Levski Sofia,Lokomotiv Plovdiv Romania...Rapid Bucharest,Dinamo Bucharest Holland....Feyenoord,Heerenveen.

The Charlton away programme said that the Addicks had withdrawn from a tournament in China because it is taking place at the end of July only two weeks before the season starts. They played a couple of games in China last summer and Curbishley felt they needed more practice in England before the big kick off.

Norwich....I dont like their fans for singing "Straight up,Straight down" when we won at their ground in 96/97.I took offence. Soton...i had a row with one of their fans at St Marys before the 0-0 draw in 2002/03 because " West Ham were an English team and Bolton were foreign merenaries." I want Soton to drop. WBA....they have spent more years in the top flight than we have.Id like them relegated to correct this situation. Palace ...they havent beaten us since 1983,get smaller gates and have several stripjoints within a 10 mile radius.I hope they survive.
