Football forum Ant!
You really should know better!
I hear that they're moving to a new stadium in London, so their fans don't have to travel so far to watch the games.
So hows the journey from Essex to Liverpool these days then Ant?

14) Using only a ruler and trigonometry, work out how many of his opponents' legs Japp Stam will break during the 2001-2 Season.
11) Man Utd are to release a new kit. If a house costs £70,000, and a car costs £18,000, how many houses and cars would you have to sell to buy the equivalent in Man Utd kits released over the period of 12 months?
12) 25,000 Man Utd fans are at an away game at the San Siro stadium in Italy. What percentage will not return home if Man Utd win the game?
13) You are a referee in the World Cup and you see David Beckham warming up on the sidelines for England. Do you
(a) Show him the Red Card?
(b) Give Sven Goran Eriksson a touchline ban?
(c) Show them both the Red Card?
(d) Give a penalty to Germany?
