anyone other than van wolfwhistle worth stealing from cash strapped Sporting Lisbon? What is Eric Dier like?

Perhaps if they had a few more obsessives of their own the stadium wouldn't be half empty. Plastics.

if someone called him a "useless Polish ****" would that be regarded as a racist comment? I suspect that's what might have happened.

Taxes used to prop up a football club. It would never happen in Portsmyth.

What's the record transfer for a fullback?

Sounds like you were right all along Turkish about the conflict between Cortese and Adkins over transfers. Looks like Cortese thought Adkins wasn't thinking big enough. he wants superstars and Adkins wanted solid team players. I guess you knew that already. If he felt he was racially abused you'd think he'd be out of here come the end of the contract. Hope that is not the case and the line about agent negotiating a contract suggests he might stay. Without a change of manager he would have been off by the sounds of things.

I wouldn't spend it before they die though as the cost of care and inheritance tax will see much of that value disappear. Personally, if I inherited all of my Dad's civil service pension I'd be much happier.

something tells me sky blue fans won't be taking the **** out of the skates for their lack of funds

witnessing first hand the skates being relegated to the bottom tier sounds like fun.

The £4k figure you gave doesn't seem to represent what the average public sector worker would get if they had worked for 30 years. It takes into account all workers even if they had worked for five minutes. Average figures like that are meaningless. I work in the private sector and get the absolute bare minimum contribution from my employer. My pension will therefore be what I pay into a private pension. Is the public sector going the same way?

can you explain what you mean. All I can see my generation inheriting is a huge national debt.

is that a fair representation of what public sectors actualloy get or does that figure include public sector workers that peehaps just worked for a few years so weren't entitled to a full payout tereby bringing the average pension amount down considerably?

Guly is Steve Baker II.

within those layers of people to blame are there not the actual people to blame?

Over the last few years there has be a lot of times we have played brilliantly in the first half, sometimes getting our reward sometimes not, but then after the break we have failed to match that level or the opponent has stepped it up (after a rollocking perhaps) allowing them back into the game. A good half time kick up the ass every now and then might be just what's needed to try and prevent this happening. That said MP did it on Saturday, yet it was Liverpool that came out of the blocks and took control of the game straight after half time, so did the rollocking really work?

And here is the fuel for Portpin's solicitor arguement "Why should PKF be able to sell notarfkrap to PST for £3.1m when there is another offer on the table to buy the exact same asset for £6.3m"

aye? We didn't bottle it at all, Wigan just got lucky. We actually showed great bottle to come back from behind, pass them to death and score two goals. We don't lack bottle.

good memory. I was thinkingt about the nightmare Willy Gerrets had in goal for Franchise a few years back.

to be fair to him sometimes he is off balance having twinkletoesed it through a defence. Also unlike many he is more than willing to give it a go with his wrong foot, even tough volleys. Most players will take the safer route of bringing it down and trying to work it on to their stronger foot (Puncheon is a prime example) rather than take the opoortunity when it arises. Thought he had a tremendous game yesterday all in all. His first touch on the run is an absolute delight to watch. The chance in the second half came from great movement and then the most wonderful turnand control all in one movement. Without that skill there would have been no chance. And to think Downing gets in ahead of him in the England squad

likewise. His decision making when kicking has also been impresive. When it needs clearing he gets rid, when he has time he uses it. I also like the fact he gives it a good welly as that turns defence into attack at times.

blimey that's impressive.

there's no anger on this side of the keyboard. I just don't agree with your opinion at all that we shouldn't have signed Ramirez last summer. I think he is exactly the sort of player we needed to to sign. We offloaded decent but `basic' players like Sharp and brought in a player that can beat a man on his own at the top level. He doesn't rely on others to lay things on a plate he creates things. You need that sort to win games at the top level. I also believe we strengthened throughout the side (2 keepers, 2 defenders, 2 midfieders, 2 attackers), so the idea that we shoukd have spent the money on other areas doesn't wash. We did spend money in the other areas.

nice. The ref did keep indicating that players were bumming each other.

as his number one fan I'm glad about that, but even I was surprised we started with him yesterday rather than Fonte. Big striker Jos, small striker Yoshida/Fonte.

Thought the crowd on his back had an effect and showed exactly why fans should give skates and other players we dislike the bird. They don't all react well. Time the middle sections started to play their part and give these primadonas some grief. I knke the pomoey fans looked like ****s when throwing the ball at Fox last season, but that hostility can unerve one or two so we should do it ourselves if it helps the side.
