Rumor has it that Thierry Henry will be leaving for Barcelona next year. That would be another blow for Arsenal/Wenger... ← ...and for the Premiership, of course.

I couldn't agree more

Brad, There's a thread about that here.

Good to see a critical note about Brötzmann. I've been hearing "mindless clichés" in his playing for some time now (even in quite a few of his older efforts), and I thought it was me...

Dont worry Red if the unlikely does happen & we do win it I'll be here to make it INTOLERABLE for you even on here . ← I don't think the England team will give you the chance to do so...

You are absolutely right!!! I can say the same words on David Beckham. Both, Keane & Backham were in their good days the best midfield players a team can think of and Sir Alex Ferguson let both of them go.... ← Isn't it about time Man U let Ferguson go?

Thanks for posting this, Adam.

Sad news indeed. I liked his work with Horace Silver.

I picked up a copy of ConSequences a while back from Ecstatic Yod. Looks like it's still available from Yod for $16, in case anyone's interested. HERE ← Funny, ConSequences was gathering dust on my sales list before it finally sold. No one here seemed to be interested, even though it wasn't very expensive...

I don't see Australia progressing to the last 16 either. I watched parts of their games against Uruguay on TV and they're simply not good enough, despite Guus Hiddink. By the way, Trinidad and Tobago, who also qualified today, were even worse (appalling even...)

The draw is on December 9 in Leipzig, Germany.

Could someone give me a link to buy this CD? I've been waiting a long time for this one. ← Just e-mail Hiroshi Tanno at hiroshi@earlyrecords.com. He doesn't take credit cards, but he does accept PayPal. His shipping rates are reasonable.

Final score: Turkey 4, Switzerland 2; aggregate: 4-4, Switzerland qualify because they scored twice in Turkey, while Turkey didn't score in Switzerland.

With 4 minutes left: Turkey 4, Switzerland 2; aggregate: 4-4, away goals are counted twice in a case like this and Turkey didn't score in the first game, so they need 1 more goal to qualify...

A few minutes before half-time: Turkey 2, Switzerland 1

This set was very limited. You might want to post your question in the Funny Rat thread; several expert members who post there might be able to give you some answers.

First minute: Turkey 0, Switzerland 1 (penalty)!

Final score: Bahrain 0, Trinidad & Tobago 1 T&T have qualified!

[Drool...]

Trinidad & Tobago lead Bahrain 1-0 with 30 minutes to go.

No, and no.
