You impressed with my research .

Barcelona have some kid's I really like coming through in Sergi Samper, Alex Grimaldo and Sandro Ramirez .

Also Oliver Torres from Atletico looks a good talent .

Agree with Torres, Manquillo (FB) looks promising too.

Barça are all rubbish.

.

How are Boro doing? Ipswich heading to another season in the Ch'ship.

Aw, we're in the poo at the moment. We're 2 points outside the relegation zone. Trouble is our defence is either one week too old or the next is too young. Once Aitor Karanka can get his own players in the better. Really hoping he'll sign Jose, Jese Rods bro on loan next season .

You happy with him then? Big gamble imo.

I'm willing to give him a go. He's inherited a job that could do with him putting his own stamp on. He had 3 years under Mourinho so i'm hoping that'll come through.

How'bout you, work, etc?

Not much going on.

Don't have a job at the moment. But should do after Christmas fingers crossed .

What about u?

Hope so, fingers crossed for you too. Been shít busy this term, but lots of changes going on and don't know what situation I'll be in in Jan. Not looking too good tbh, but something will turn up.

Anyhow Hammy, time for me to call it a day. Thanks for popping in, been lovely catching up a bit. Take care.

Ok see you .

Morning lads

Interview this morning with my new boss and others that work around him that are higher than me. Wish me luck?

How are we all this morning?

LRF
Good luck mate. Having a bit of a slow morning myself.

Best of luck LRF!

Hi Wump. I wrote an article about Luis Suarez last night and for some reason the Liverpool posters are taking it out on Arsenal.

The summer has left them with a chip on their shoulders. Mention Suarez and they go ballistic! Lemme check it out.

BTW ioag, are you a teacher or something?

Expected a lot better from you ioag..that was a poor wum

Thing is, it wasnt a wum. It was just pure facts.

It's snowing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part time. I teach and translate, both as a freelance. I used to do a lot more translation, but I've had a lot less work from my main clients the past couple of years so I've increased the number of teaching hours I do. Problem is I teach telephone English from home for a company based in Madrid, and they've just lost their biggest contract, and right now I don't know how much work I'll have after the Xmas hols.

Silky, I wasn't really trying to wum anyone, just muck about a bit. Just thought it was a funny to compare players with the same name rather than based on their playing position, attributes etc.

Thanks both of you. It went fantastically well and got some really positive feedback from all 3 members that were there. I'm expecting an email later this afternoon to see whether I got the job. There are 3 candidates and there are only 2 positions available, both as GP's.

More cup games tonight. Heading into the final 10 minutes:
Rayo 1-1 Valladolid (agg 1-1)
As it stands Valladolid would go through on away goals, but they're down to 10 men

Valencia 1-0 Gimnastic (agg 1-0) Alcacer scored and just had a second disallowed. A Nastic would knock Valencia out.

Espanyol 1-0 Jaen (agg 3-2) Simon Tasty scored in the 12th minute. Jaen would need 2 goals.

Athletic - Celta kicks off at 8.30pm. Celta won the 1st leg 1-0

Adrain puts Rayo ahead with 4 minutes left

Da Silva doubles Espanyol lead vs Jaen

Adrian that is, Míchel's son, not A Drain.
