I had a couple, who are very close friends, stay with me over this last weekend. My lady friend was sitting on the floor on Sunday morning playing with Danny. She is very well blessed in the bust region. Everytime Danny tried to climb over her, he kept bumping into "them". Eventually, he got very fed up, started smacking each one with flat hands (as you would do to deflate something) & shouted angrily, "Make them go down!" :bashpc:

I was so embarrassed but couldn't stop laughing at the same time! Fortunately, my friend saw the funny side of it too. :haha:

London - Manchester United look destined to extend their run of appearances in the group stage of the Champions League after they beat Hungarian champions Debrecen 3-0 in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie on Tuesday.

There were also first-leg wins for Villarreal, Wisla Krakow, Rangers and Valerenga while Real Betis were playing AS Monaco later in the last of Tuesday's ties. A further 10 are played on Wednesday.

The prize for the 16 winners is a place in the group stage of the Champions League, and the millions of pounds that come with. The losers will have to settle for a slot in the Uefa Cup.

United, winners in 1999, are well used to playing in the main event having done so 10 times previously, although this is the second year running they have had to go through qualifying after finishing only third in the Premier League.

Visitors Debrecen arrived on the back of an 8-0 aggregate victory over Hajduk Split in the second round but they were never a factor at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney got United's season under way with a low shot after seven minutes, Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored the second four minutes into the second half and Cristiano Ronaldo capped an excellent individual performance with the third in the 63rd.

A reduced crowd of 51 701 watched the game, about 15 000 short of capacity, as many fans boycotted the match in protest at the club's takeover by American tycoon Malcolm Glazer.

A few miles eastwards tickets were like gold dust for Everton's return to the continent's premier competition after 34 years and their first European match since 1995.

However, the occasion ended in anti-climax for the locals with a 2-1 home defeat by Villarreal.

Everton were surprise fourth-placed finishers in the Premier League but found their spirited efforts not to be enough against a classy Villarreal side making their first appearance in the competition after finishing behind Real Madrid and Barcelona last season in Spain.

Superb goals by Argentina striker Luciano Figueroa (27) and midfielder Josico (45) either side of a close-range effort by James Beattie put the Spanish side, formidable at home, firmly in the driving seat.

Everton were twice denied the chance to play in the European Cup in the 1980s due to the ban on English clubs after Heysel and their last appearance was a defeat on away goals to Panathinaikos in the 1970-71 quarter-finals.

The Greek side have been regulars since then and got off to a flyer at Wisla Krakow with a fourth-minute goal by Nigeria-born Polish international striker Emmanuel Olisadebe.

However, they ended up losing 3-1 after striker Pawel Brozyk equalised, Nigeria midfielder Kalu Uche made it 2-1 after an excellent pass from striker Tomasz Frankowski, who finished off the comeback with a cunning header.

Scottish champions Rangers, knocked out at this stage last season, look better positioned to go through this time after securing a 2-1 win in Cyprus against Anorthosis Famagusta with two goals in five minutes midway through the second half by Nacho Novo and Fernando Ricksen.

Valerenga will take a slender 1-0 lead into the second leg against Club Bruges after Steffen Iverson's 57th-minute effort gave them victory on the night in Oslo.

Wednesday's fixtures include holders Liverpool against CSKA Sofia, Udinese against Sporting Lisbon and Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk against Inter Milan.

The second legs of all 16 ties will be played on August 23 and 24 while the draw for the group stages is held in Monaco on August 25.

The Springboks will land in Perth on Thursday morning to find a right royal sledging match in full swing.

After their defeats to South Africa in the first two matches of the Vodacom Tri-Nations, the Wallabies and the All Blacks have upped the ante in the psychological war stakes, with former coaches and captains putting the boot in good and proper given the slightest chance.

The Springboks have not escaped attention in this handbags-at-dawn scuffle.

Kevin Putt, the former Sharks coach and wannabe Springbok, is reported to have launched an attack on Bok lock Victor Matfield, saying that he wears a steel strip under the wrapping on his forearm.

Putt, who has returned to the land of his birth to coach NPC team Counties Manukau, said on New Zealand television that Springbok captain John Smit had told him that Matfield wears a steel protector on his arm.

A source close to the Blue Bulls laughed off the claim on Tuesday.

Putt's claims come in the midst of grumbling in New Zealand circles that Matfield was not banned for his tackle on All Black Byron Kelleher after just 10 minutes of the Cape Town Test.

The tackle concussed the New Zealand scrumhalf and he had to be substituted. Both referee Andrew Cole and the citing commissioner agreed that Matfield had done nothing wrong when he tackled Kelleher.

Matfield laughed off the claims on Tuesday.

'He has struggled to step up to the international game'
"A metal plate will be a bit heavy if I want to get my arms in the air for a line-out or kick-off," Matfield told keo.co.za. "I did not hit Byron with the forearm. I connected him with my shoulder in going for the tackle. That's the way the judiciary also saw it. It was not malicious. I am not a malicious player and my track record during my Test career indicates this."

Former Wallaby captain and scrumhalf Nick Farr-Jones told the Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday that he did not think that Kelleher had sufficiently filled Justin Marshall's shoes.

"Everyone knows the best way to beat the All Blacks, as it has been for the last two decades and probably ad infinitum, is to put pressure on the inside backs - then they're going to struggle," said Farr-Jones.

"I think everyone realises you have to move on and bring through the new people and the younger players - albeit Byron is not that young.

"But when Marshall was there he probably brought a greater maturity and an ability, if things were going pear-shaped, to switch to plan B."

Ahead of the Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney on Saturday, the Australian media have jumped on the All Blacks loss to the Springboks as a sign that there is yet hope for the Wallabies in the Tri-Nations.

The Herald said that the All Blacks looked vulnerable and in trouble because of the injuries to Kelleher and, more importantly, captain Tana Umaga.

Former All Blacks and Cats coach, Laurie Mains, who has paid South African rugby some roundabout compliments this year, fired the biggest salvo for the New Zealand sledgers on Sunday, when he suggested that Wallaby coach Eddie Jones should step down.

Writing for Auckland's Sunday News, Mains put forth the notion that "the Bledisloe Cup doesn't look to be under too much threat this year... The Australian team is sliding off its peak rather than climbing".

"Jones was a successful coach with the Brumbies, but he has struggled to step up to the international game. It's clear that his (Jones's) style of management has worn pretty thin with some of his players.

"He has been in the job since 2001 and he doesn't seem to be getting the same amount of commitment out of the team. That was clear when two of his senior players, Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuqiri, were at a nightclub in South Africa at 4am a couple of nights from a Test."

Jones and All Black coach Graham Henry have kept out of the war of words, as has White, although the Springbok coach would have noted that they both blamed their losses to the Boks on their own "mistakes".
