That dude's name is Kobiashvili. Rangers surprisingly survived in Porto. Didn't expect that. And Shevchenko could have made five goals or more. And they weren't that difficult. But now he has joined five players who made 4 goals in a match, like Van Bastan and Prso.

Oh no...I was hoping Milan would suffer another loss.

Its still alive for Porto. If they beat Artmedia and if Rangers don't beat Inter, they'll go through.

This is bad. Best is going into his last hours. But he knew what he was doing.

Yup, it's strange people will give sympathy to Best but not for people who jump off cliffs (when it's effectively the same thing)

Az Alkmaar have a max capacity of just under 9,000. most of League 2 is bigger than that

Good to see Viduka get some game time. I agree with you about Best Sureshot.

George Best died today at 12:55pm GMT

RIP George Best 1946-2005.

It was bound to happen with his alcohol addiction.
He certainly one of the best players of his generation. R.I.P. George Best.

Its his off-field life that lowers his reputation to the point of being disgraceful. Still, he was a brilliant football player.

They're getting a bigger stadium of about 30.000 people I think. And Middlesbrough are lucky they drew with them. Also Arveladze's goal was disallowed wrongly.

Heard it today on the radio Best died. And I don't listen that much to the radio. If you drink that much, you have to face the consequences.

RIP George Best, I didn't know you but I hear you were a great football player.

R.I.P the Belfast boy. You will never be forgotten amongst us United fans.

United till I die.

One of the greatest footballers ever, R.I.P George Best.

FA Cup weekend for us, away at Chester. A chance to see some players get a chance. Tyson cup tied, breckin and Lester suspended after their sending offs.

Hopefully Taylor and Spencer Weir-Daley will play, with bastians on the left.

It just needs to be said Rooney was inspirational at the weekend. I really hope he lives up to his potential, but can he reach the heights of George Best?

I think Rooney is well placed to do so.

I think Rooney is well placed to do so.

Yes so do I, at this rate he could exceed expectation. Who knows? His maturity at the age of 20 stands out. Alright he still hacks out, but certain people/players have that sort of temper. I know I do
