This Weekend's Fixtures & Liverpool vs Spurs (04/05/06 Feb).

[Rors]

Here.We.Go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here he is.

N'Zogbia off for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bent booked. Stupid challenge.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I wonder about people who think these release clauses exist and are so low.

When is the last time you've heard of a player transfer because another club met a release clause in a contract?

It just doesn't happen outside Football Manager games.

Cabaye?

Everyone was being quoted £10m+ but Newcastle found he had a £5m clause in his contract. Apparently. Could equally be bollocks though. And since "undisclosed" became a chairman's favourite word no one really knows any fees anymore.

[Cripps_orig]

A change for Villa. Charles N'Zogbia departs to a chorus of boos from the Newcastle fans, and Emile Heskey is on instead to a chorus of boos from the Villa fans.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block by Williamson to deny Bent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant corner Villa. Ends up going back to Given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 2-1 Villa, Cisse. Good finish.

[Rors]

Fuckage. He screws it up from 6 yards, makes it from 20

[Rors]

Oh dear Hawthorne....
