Oh there definately was contact from Whittle, but Shearer did an earlier "challange", not as bad, but...

I could go on a mad rant about him, but I'd better not

We're already practicing new penalty techniques. Hadn't you noticed?

Serious note - George Best's condition has deteriorated, according to the BBC.

Alcoholism is a dependency on alcohol characterised by craving (a strong need to drink), loss of control (being unable to stop drinking despite a desire to do so), physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, and tolerance (increasing difficulty of becoming drunk).

Essentially, the causes for alcohol abuse and dependence cannot be easily explained, but the long-standing, unscientific prejudice that alcoholism is the result of moral or ethical weakness on the part of the sufferer has been largely altered, as a recent poll showed that 90% of Americans currently believe that alcoholism is, in fact, a disease.

Treatments for alcoholism include detoxification programs run by medical institutions. These may involve stays for a number of weeks in specialized wards where drugs may be used to avoid withdrawal symptoms, which in severe cases may lead to death.

SDA, you will see the points that have been highlighted, we are all made up differently and should not frown upon anyone who can not adhere to, what is known to be the norm, I admit that George was given a second chance, but I am lead to believe that this time it was the anti alcohol drugs, and not the alcohol itself that has put him in this life threatening condition

well being a United fan as well this is very sad news and not something I want to see happen.. looking at it from both sides of the fence he's been killing himself with drink since the 70s and never been able to stop despite the fact that he wants to and keeps trying to stop all the time.. as stated above the exact causes of alcoholism aren't really known so yuo can't really say if it is his fault or not

REAL MADRID are setting up a stunning £20mill ion raid for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rubbish or not ?

It is certainly not enough money for a start.
I just hope that the recent rape allegations doesn't make him want to get out of this country.

I'd have said £25 million wasn't enough money for Beckham....

No I'd say the only way Ronaldo is going anywhere is if he upsets SAF a la Beckham, Stam etc
