Ah, I'm just trying to get to 500 posts! You know I wouldn't even go if you weren't there!
I'll try and figure out when that game is, and find out what the best tickets and stuff we can get are. I'd love to find a way to get "backstage".

AC Milan are offering their Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to Tottenham and Aston Villa as they try to raise money to scupper Manchester City's bid for Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko.

Former Tottenham boss Martin Jol, currently in charge at Ajax, has emerged as a late contender to take over at Fulham. Full story: Daily Mirror
Ex-United forward Eric Cantona says he is "sure England will not qualify" for Euro 2012 or the 2014 World Cup because there are not enough English players competing in the Premier League.

The German aquarium that owns octopus oracle Paul has rejected a number of bids for the celebrity mollusk from Spain.
Paul rose to international prominence by correctly calling the outcome of all seven of Germany's matches at the 2010 World Cup, culminating in their semi-final defeat by eventual champions Spain.
With many in his home country speculating how Paul would taste grilled in garlic butter, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero offered to send a security team to protect the two-and-a-half-year-old.
Meanwhile, officials from the Spanish town of O Caraballino tried to borrow Paul to promote a seafood festival and a businessman from the town also offered about £26,000 to buy him, but the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen declined.
Madrid Zoo then asked Sea Life if it would be willing to make a deal to bring him in - on either a temporary or permanent basis - as a tribute to the Spanish football team's victory, but that request has also been rejected.
It's totally out of the question to sell Paul or lend him out," said Sea Life spokeswoman Kerstin Kuehn. "Paul will enjoy his greatly deserved retirement in Sea Life in Oberhausen." (Associated Press)

Barca are officially giving up on Fab. For this season, at least.
My brother would go nuts if Huntelaar went to Villa. That's his favorite player and his favorite team (besides NAC Breda in Holland)
