North Korea would certainly put up a more vicious fight. Who made the US the World police anyway?

Now now, CB, his point was fair.

Every time I see this thread title it makes me cringe a little.

It's not rocket science, chap. We're in the third division.

"I Should Be So Lucky!"

Pompey was put up for sale nearly 6 months ago, tbh. Wrapping it up seems to have gone quickly but they didn't just get sold in an instant.

Willies didn't really have a choice, it's all they do so they can't exactly refuse to enter. Same with Brawn and Force India, although they're showing a little bit of solidarity with the manufacturers... Besides, it may be moot now, I believe the other teams and the FIA are close to an agreement of sorts. It should culminate in a slower descent into budget capping, offset by the ability to sell chassis and engines to customer teams.

Tell that to the Iraqis and the Afghans.

To be fair to Barry, we've all made this mistake before and we should probably look no further than Leeds for an example of why we shouldn't make it again.

How much would that be per goal on his average of a handful a season?

If you do it, I'll personally have a word with the posters involved.* * I might not.

How many?

It that supposed to be "conveyor belt"? That's brilliant!

Ah, you've done me there.

Some of us don't mind so much. I'd prefer you to not have to go through what we are going through, for a second time. Besides, I used to enjoy there being two decent teams in Hampshire and I'd rather you were still there if/when we're back up in the top flight again.

Nah, what I recognise of your mix is ok but I just don't need the clutter.

I rode a bike for long enough to appreciate the up and downsides of that too, StL. Five relatively nasty accidents (only one of them my own fault), in a single year, put me off quite a bit though.

Erm... Read the last 6 or so posts.

So, a massage with a happy ending?

Oh please. Relax. If we clamped down on any non-concrete, non-SFC posts on here at the moment we might as well close the forum. This thread is inane, banal, light-hearted, largely pointless and mostly boll*cks, but it doesn't hurt anybody and it makes a change (a very pleasant change) from the usual sh*t-fights on here lately. There are no facts to report, everything is speculated in post number 1 with the note that news should follow soon.... ish.

Or Rory Delap.

What's the point? It keeps them from tearing each other apart, as is the usual state of affairs around here.

Apparently so, according to the association of motorcycle insurers.

Pam Ayres?
