For us to win would rank as one of the great FA Cup upsets of all time.
He is fantastic, he is strong, he has done a full pre-season. He looks great. And that is the hardest thing to understand.
He is a cheeky little prick but that's what we love about him.
I'm a huge fan of the game and look forward to helping it come alive on the cinema screen.
If we can improve the awareness of the AFL as a sport (in Japan), we can also use it as a vehicle for business activity.
I have greatly enjoyed my collaborations with Howard Shore, whose musical themes made immeasurable contributions to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, ... During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of 'King Kong.' Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film. I'm looking forward to working with James Newton Howard, a composer whose work I've long admired, and I thank Howard Shore, whose talent is surpassed only by his graciousness.
I didn't want people to sit there and watch 10 minutes of film,and all they write about is 48 frames.
We take as much inspiration from what he's doing and how he's handling it as he takes from the club.
We are fortunate a number of players can play well in many positions, like Tom Clarke who has adapted well to midfield.
He is still on loan for another week and we will look to get something sorted out around then.
He is one of a number of general inquiries I have made to clubs. It's nothing more than that.
He has been good in the last two games since Danny Adams became ill and it will be great to have him here for another month.
He has been a loyal servant of this football club over a long period of time and played a key role in one of our most successful eras. On behalf of our staff, players, members and supporters I would like to thank him for all he has given this club. He is a life member and as such knows full well he is always welcome around the club.
Growing our total online services and technology revenues by 8% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 is a tremendous achievement, and we are optimistic about continuing the trend of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in the current fiscal year. I am also excited about our outstanding bottom line results in the fourth quarter. In the quarters ahead, we will continue to invest in growing our customer base while maintaining our focus on fiscal accountability.
