 Kenny: We will be entering the Lions Den
 
 Thursday 17 November 2005
 
 Derry City manager Stephen Kenny has told his players they must be brave on Friday when the face Cork City in the eircom Premier Division decider at Turner??s Cross (Kick off 7:45)
 
 
 Derry need only a draw to lift the Premier Division crown though Kenny admits that getting anything at Turner??s Cross will be extremely difficult, especially with a capacity crowd cheering on the home side.
 
 ??We??re fully aware that we will be entering the Lions Den. With the fans on top of the pitch and very vocal, it causes pressure,? said Kenny.

 Gutted, absolutely gutted.
 
 You could put Keano out on the park in a wheelchair and he'd still be one of the top players in the game.

Stick around this board long enough to know that I could give shit about the Arseholes or Wigan and was shocked to learn of Keane's departure from United.

Portsmouth's interested in Keane.  Wonder where he'll land.
 
 Sorry 'bout the "Son" son, I edited my post but too late.  I'm not your enemy!!! I'll be pulling for Wigan to upset Gunners for sure.

My guess is Celtic.  He's always wanted to end his career there.
 
 Hey Mank, now that the shock and horror has subsided a little, is this a salary savings/enticement move to convince Ballack that he'll have little competition for a central mid-field spot at Old Trafford?

Looking at the table and the Gunners injury problems, it wouldn't look like that much of an upset, however sad it is for me to say.

 Six memorable Real-Barcelona league matches
 
 MADRID, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Six memorable league matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona:
 
 1973-74 Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 5
 
 Playmaker Johan Cruyff revolutionised a Barca team that had not won the league title in 14 years and led them to a crushing victory at the Bernabeu, a result regarded as Real's most humiliating defeat in their own stadium.
 
 The Dutchman put his side 2-0 up with a brilliant solo effort. Picking the ball up in his own half, he weaved around a bemused defence before slotting the ball past keeper Mariano Garcia Remon from near the penalty spot.
 
 Barcelona won the title with five games to spare. - - - -
 
 1984-85 Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 3
 
 Barca took on a distinctly British tinge in the mid-1980s with new coach Terry Venables bringing Scotland striker Steve Archibald and then England's Gary Lineker and Wales's Mark Hughes to the Nou Camp.
 
 Archibald, or 'Archigoles' as he became known, got off to a dream start when he scored one goal and had a hand in two more as Barca claimed an emphatic win at the Bernabeu. They cruised to victory in the league title race.
 
 Two seasons later Lineker scored a hat-trick in Barca's 3-2 win over Real at the Nou Camp. - - - -
 
 1993-94 Barcelona 5 Real Madrid 0
 
 Mercurial Brazil striker Romario grabbed a hat-trick as the Catalans, managed by former player Cruyff, crushed Real at the Nou Camp. Barca were handed their fourth title in a row when Deportivo Coruna defender Miroslav Djukic missed a last-minute penalty against Valencia in the final match of the season. - - - -
 
 1994-95 Real Madrid 5 Barcelona 0
 
 A sweet victory for Real as they avenged their 5-0 defeat of the previous season with an equally conclusive win of their own at the Bernabeu.
 
 Chile striker Ivan Zamorano got a hat-trick while Emilio Amavisca and Luis Enrique, who later became a Barca favourite when he moved to the Nou Camp, weighed in with the others. Real went on to win the league ahead of Deportivo. - - - -
 
 2003-2004 Barcelona 1 Real Madrid 2
 
 The previous derby in Barcelona had been marred by incidents surrounding the return of former idol Luis Figo to the Nou Camp and his appearance on this occasion was no exception.
 
 The Portugal midfielder got a vitriolic reception the first time he played there for Real in 2000 and was showered with missiles, including a pig's head, two seasons later.
 
 This time he had the last word as he helped Real to a first league win at the Nou Camp in 19 years. Barca got their own back with a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu later in the season. - - - -
 
 2004-2005 Barcelona 3 Real Madrid 0
 
 Barca produced a sparkling display of fluent, attacking football to outclass their rivals at the Nou Camp.
 
 Former Real player Samuel Eto'o, rejected by his old club at the start of the season, made the most of a defensive mix-up to open the scoring as he darted between Roberto Carlos and goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
 
 Dutchman Giovanni van Bronckhorst made it 2-0 after a slick passing move and Ronaldinho completed an emphatic win by smashing home a penalty after the livewire Eto'o was brought down in the area.

 Mankie, again, what is going on in the UK with Beckham, unless the guy has never adapted to Spain, he seems a bench player for Notingham Forest or Leeds United. 0-3 in Madrid, had not seen this Barcelona superiority since the early nineties. Madrid, keep the Beckhams, Zidanes, Roberto Carlos, Rauls and so on, please do so!
