Only £34,997,000 to go (give or take a few pence in the pound)..

I thought for a moment that you were talking about 3k missing from the crowd, and not the £££s. But "i dont think it will not get any better next season," is probably true either way!

Showing my age but I had a fun time at Anderlecht as dad got me a cheap staff ticket to fly there on BEA (before the days of low cost airlines). It would be nice (if I could afford it) to have a few away days in Europe, so I'd better get on with applying for a summer season job.. (Winter is also for skiing )

Well, not sure the Sunderland job is a 'decent' one...

He's just teasing us..

Go on then, you seem eminently qualified.

I wouldn't have bothered working for a local utility company and besides I was in a union, but in a high profile case like this when your employment has been threatened, I'd like to have back up. As his legal firm said.. “I want to make it very clear that our client will not be making any statement until the BBC investigation has taken its course.” In other words, if the BBC had tried to cover-up or sack him he reserves the right to pursue the case, but I suspect they aren't involved at the moment. As for complaining about trial by media: you live by the sword you die by the sword...

Cynics! All of you! .. I chuckled..

I tried Malpensa and Linate and still expensive; haven't tried Bergamo yet!

Do you reckon Batman signed it? It seems to be the same people who sign it who say, 'wait and see if he is innocent"... Er.. exactly!

Embarassing when the mirror smashed, I'll bet! Checked the cost of flights as I rather fancy Turin and could stay with a friend there, but flights are extortionate.

Well, he's no innocent, and he may be innocent, so why don't we wait for the outcome of the investigation? Most suspensions from work happen when there is a serious allegation, not just getting a report in late, or a bit of a verbal barney. The fact that the programmes have all been pulled would suggest that there is a serious case to answer, as nobody would do it just for the fun of it because they didn't like him. In the meantime I suggest that isn't appropriate to sign any petitions, for or against, and if Guido Fawkes did start one it just confirms his ****tishness.

Steveee, I've paid me fiver, can you update my status... Ta.

Perhaps the poor side and playing for himself are connected? What was he like before QPR?

I've got to get back to my stripping (paint with a hot air gun), so at least Bearsy will get something out of this thread.. It was meant to be a light-hearted humorous thread until _you_ came along, effing and ****ing, to try and turn it back to your agenda. Some porn is inappropriate, so is singing GYTOFTL and so is your behaviour here. I'm not equating the three, in case you were wanting to start a straw-man argument, but you don't seem to have any judgement of the wheres and whens.

I was listening to the radio after Liverpool were held at home by Blackburn, and a 'pool fan was talking about the need to have signed a striker in January! We aren't alone in our need, but I think your analysis is a pretty fair summary why _we_ didn't.

Sorry I didn't come along and help Lou, but I'm a bit older than you and in spite of a mild masochistic streak (Saints fan etc...) I've learnt that beating your head against a brick wall is less fun than heading an under-inflated football on a wet day. Still, at least some posters warn you with their user names, like Unbelievable Jeff... Porn has never done much for me (I rely on imagination ), and I do have to thank Bearsy of this parish for his review of 50 Shades, which convinced me (amid much laughter, I have to admit) that such a badly written book wasn't worth bothering about.

Looking good: http://www.lovevda.it/it/prima-di-partire/webcam Possibly try the Dragon Pub, never been there as I only day skied in Cervinia, but it's popular with the british.. Having done some further delving, try the Yeti Bar.

I prefer to go back to The Dell days: Romsey Old Boys Band...

Actually, I've found a new local pub in the next village showing footie, and the last three games I watched there (all in one week) were all wins, including away at Man Utd. Now I don't expect a win but hope springs eternal..

I'm a reasonable skier - off-piste and all that, but the only time I've been cross-country skiing on those skinny little things not attached at the heel I fell 4 times, including some right head-over-heels purlers and with ice-skating I've had a few bruised buttocks. Still, no injuries, and just that shot of Graziano killing himself laughing makes me think it's been worthwhile for the team building aspect.

Not long in from football training and just checked the result, then came straight on here to join the general merriment and add to the general laughter. I know schadenfreude can be a negative thing, but this is rather enjoyable...

First time I've been on here since the game, and just watched the video highlights.. Hmmm, 4 potential penalties and not one given? The first you might argue about, although what was that hand doing up there on his shoulder? Number 2 no doubt at all, and the 3rd and 4th the sort that we'd be unhappy if given against us. Lovren's tackle was nastier than it looked at the time too. Miserable result, miserable weather and our women's match was abandoned earlier in the day 5 minutes after I came on as sub. Miserable.

What have Citeh and Pompey got in common? Both 2-0 down at home..

It wasn't meant to be a open top bus parade.. http://travel.aol.co.uk/2013/01/29/double-decker-bus-roof-ripped-off-railway-bridge-crash-hampshire/
