Sunderland: James McFadden poised for Black Cats contract talks

Disagree with this completely. Ojamma was holding the ball up brilliantly and was exactly what we needed to relieve the pressure. Murphy came on and did nothing.

Anyone got the highlights from the day we stopped them winning 9-in-a-row?

MyPa?

Absolute garbage.

"Different approach" for Levante

FourFourTwo guide to Levante Includes info on how to reach the stadium. Bought my ticket earlier today and we're in the "Gol Alboraya' section, which I assume is behind the goal at the Alboraya end of the gound (the end furthest away from the city centre according to Google Maps).

Just had a text from a relative saying there's a great flight deal to Valencia on page 16 of today's Motherwell Times. Anyone seen it?

I'm in a similar situation. Currently looking at Easyjet to Amsterdam on the Wed night, kipping overnight at Schipol airport, then flying to Valencia in the morning.

This I like

Can these two teams be in the same pot?

Draw is on Friday, right? Anyone know what time?

Motherwell's demanding odyssey to Athens

It was in the Express.

Although an early Motherwell goal would obviously be ideal, I'd happily settle for going 1-0 up with say 10 mins to go. Would be interesting to see how the Greeks react.

Worst thing is, even after the tannoy announcement requesting it to stop, a couple of idiots continued to throw the paper on to the pitch.

Arrived at the ground at 7.20pm and still missed both the fans display and the kick-off. Queue at that point was round by the main entrance the POD Stand. Police and stewards said there was no chance of the kick-off being delayed. Apologies for the moan, but it didn't half put a dampener on what was supposed to be a great occasion. we all know Fir Park is getting on a bit, but I'm afraid the East Stand is no longer fit for purpose.

Admission prices for the Accies game, anyone?

Scotrail only.

Aye. They've started on the "Champions Route" draw, so we won't feature for a wee while.

This is going to take a while...

They're playing the theme tune!

I realise the Europa League Play-off Round section is completely speculative as there is no way of predicting which teams will qualify for that round, but in general terms in looks like there is a decent chance of being drawn against a western European side - much more accessible than the likes of Kiev. Think I might be tempted to give the away CLQ a miss and hold out for the Europa play-off round.

So the games will take place on 31 July /1 August 2012 and 7/8 August. When will they decide if it will be the Tuesday or the Wednesday of either week? Will this be confirmed on Friday as well? Obviously this has implications when booking flights etc. Apologies if this has been asked before.
