Thank god Les is returning his phone calls.

I like the fact that you are equating people contributing to debate about how health care is funded in the UK (with suggestions not massively different to those in place in other western democracies) with a effing nutcase suggesting the unemployed should be banned from driving. Seriously, great work.

Please sign for QPR.

I like the UKIP supporters' policy of equating these loons with Lord Robert Winston.

Hmm, not really. The Champions don't own or possess the League - it is a League OF (or for) the Champions. So no apostrophe is perfectly fine. UEFA's Champions League I'll give you. But looks stupid. Back in the days when I worked in newspapers (not that glam at all) I had a two day argument about Ascot Ladies Day for the same reason. I did, eventually, win. True story.

Pretty exceptional levels of empty headed what-about-ery on both sides on this thread. Well done everyone. All we need is someone to mention Hitler and we're done here.

It was a big watch, to be fair.

No club will sign him without absolute confidence in his fitness. SFC will know exactly what his condition is. So who is this agent getting "the best deal he possibly can" from? And what role does a "smokescreen" tweet play in that?

Equally, don't take everything you read on twitter as part of some conspiracy or cover up.

That's what Lawrenson said on Five Live.

Good point. They will be dancing in the streets of Truro, Trowbridge and Eastbourne if we finish fourth and that's a fact. BT just need to drop a few leaflets in Somerset and those subscriptions will come flooding in.

Pretty obvious. At worst if we don't get through the play offs they've got a 25% reduction on their ideal number of group games featuring English sides. And even if we do, they're lumbered with a load of group games featuring a team with a small fanbase. In year one of a very expensive TV deal, not ideal. They'll want Man United in, trust me.

In fairness the Financial Director of BT Sport will have the most sleepless nights. Will be a massive headache for them if we finish fourth.

*****?

LOL.

Well we haven't finished top four yet, or qualified for the Champions League proper yet, and we are a long way away from establishing ourselves as a Champions League club competing and competitive over a number of seasons. I don't think anyone said we couldn't challenge for top four in any given season - like Everton have done - that's certainly what I've always said. But that is a long way away from being an established Champions League club.

The Wiganisation of Everton continues.

So is what we're trying to do "nigh on impossible" or not? I'd say it is, and we're doing brilliantly to still be in contention in January.

We haven't got into the Champions League yet, and it is nigh on impossible to do what we've done. No one else has done it for a long while. You not that impressed with our manager and players then and what they've achieved this season? I reckon they've exceeded all expectations, personally.

Who could have possibly predicted you would crawl out and post on this thread. Oh yeah, everyone. Well done on a very mediocre post.

Our "Steve Wigley level manager" has done okay, hasn't he?

If, as the boring one tells us, us fickle fans should treat all departures of club staff the same regardless of whether they were good or crap, why did Franco spend eight months on here openly weeping about the departure of the chief executive? Surely he should have treated it just the same as the departure of Lee Hoos?

You're calling his time at S****horpe (basically a lower L1/L2 that he over promoted) a failure? Okay then. Owen Coyle, Dyche, Aidy Boothroyd, Holloway etc all got into the Prem with clubs of a level the NA could get a job at. Anyway, I didn't mean that he will get promoted again with his very next job, but I think he could again sometime. Still think he will manage Wigan someday.

Why? If Mick McCarthy, Sean Dyche, Neil Warnock, Owen Coyle and Ian Holloway can get promoted to the Premier League why can't our Nigel again?
