Maitheson Models offer a similar 3 link coupling which clips to the underframe. It is designed for their wagons but with a tweak here and there can fit any. You will find it very noticeable that there are no links hanging down from the other coupling, at least I did with the Mathieson ones so I went mad and have removed a hook from each and now use them as real 3 link couplings. Now I've collected my stronger glasses I can couple them! Gareth

Greetings, If extra time hasn't sorted out a winner the 'win' could be given to the team that had the most possession. That might stop those teams who set out to 'park the bus' with no real intention or inclination to try to win the game normally. A team that had some sucess in Europe springs to mind over 2 semi finals and a final ;o) Gareth

Greetings, As to who Abramovic will appoint manager are you sure he will? IIRC his sole aim when buying Chelsea was to win the Champions League. That done and reports that he was getting bored with football who's to say he won't pack up and go home. In 12 months time you could see Chelsea in administration as the massive bankroll disappears. I know this is a very pessimistic outlook but he is very unpredictable and I doubt he has many thoughts for the genuine supporters. Gareth

Greetings, It doesn't matter who got the England job, the press wouldn't be happy until they got a good negative story on them and created discord within the camp. Watching the press conference yesterday summed up everything about the British press and how desparate they are to dig up dirt. They haven't found much on Roy Hodgson yet but about the 5th question put to Hodgson was what were his views on apartheid as he played football in South Africa in 1973. He looked a bit surprised at the question but I guess he is going to have to get used to it. As he said it was 40 years ago, he was young and wanted to play professional football. You would like to think the journalist would have been more interested in how he planned to win the Euros. They've probably already drawn up a shortlist of sitable vegetables to graft onto the top of his head. Gareth
