I really wish I still had some of those old copies. I do still have some of the old cards – the ones that used to come covered in dust from bubble gum.

I've got quite a lot of those "big-head" figures that used to be available somewhere, I think my little cousins use them as bombs in the garden when they come round.

And then there was the Shoot poster of all the tables with slots in for the team tabs so that you could keep your own tables every season.

My great-grandma used to save me the tables from The Mirror and at the end of every season I used to sellotape over the top of them so that they would remain in position, then chuck them in the bin when the next season started.

And one of these days – I swear – I will actually complete a sticker book. I have so many almost-full ones.

I only ever completed two, the 97/98 season and the 99/00 season IIRC.

In terms of magazines, though, I'd say that 90 Minutes was really good. I was very sorry when that went under.

I can't remember reading that one TBH.

Watching that Ljajic, he plays like Kaka. He seems to be able to drift players with ease, he doesn't look that quick but he is. His control is good as well, he seems to create time on the ball. His end product obviously isn't there, but at 17/18 he looks frightening.

It's the Serbian Revolution. Believe.

In more depressing news, our season is over already after a 7-6 penalty shoot-out defeat to Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup.

Anderson is in the form of his life, with yet another goal. Two in two games now for the goal machine. The lad just doesn't know how to miss penalties.

Heinze transferred from El Real to Marseille

I taught him.










By him I mean the guy who made the foul.

That's the best one there has ever been for me, nothing has ever come close for entertainment and humour. I've still got a copy I found in my mums loft, I wish I'd kept more.

I think Benitez will break at £28m.
Real can easily pull out tomorrow and Rafa has to realise this instead of going for more.
