Last month I discovered that MeTV, a local retro television channel, was showing Barney Miller reruns, and I've just had a blast seeing these shows I haven't seen in years. Although it was very successful during its eight-season run from 1975-82, I don't think it got the proper respect. That's probably due to the fact that there were so many other groundbreaking sitcoms at the time (the same goes for the original Bob Newhart Show, which MeTV also broadcasts).

Lack is a powerful motivator. Can you recall the last time you were missing the ingredient for a recipe or without a goal or short on cash and had to improvise? Well, I have.

Well it must be said my mindset on this match was not as optimistic as my match preview might have suggested. I spent all of yesterday talking it down to myself, saying it was only the Carling Cup, and besides if we got knocked out that would only let us focus more on the league and the FA Cup. But honestly I don't think I've been more pleased with Bolton in a really long time, perhaps even since our stunning comeback at Stamford Bridge in April, even though it was just a Carling Cup tie.

No habia visto la gravedad de la patada de Adebayor a su ex-compañero Cesc Fabregas en esta ocasión no fue ningun show.Realmente con el festejo y la patada del partido pasado se nota que el africano no salio a gusto del Arsenal.
