How can you destroy history, it's still there to be seen and talked about.

Surely we can only say we've been shafted if he turns out average or below.

Thanks SP. What was the jet plane we were building after WWII but had to stop otherwise the US would pull the plug on UK support aid? I remember my father saying it was an advanced plane which the yanks thought would take their military aviation trade away... or was he making it up?

Is that going to be for the forthcoming season only or when the costs come down to an acceptable level? Fantastic gesture, it'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.

That's great work Alpine. have a star...

That was a good team. Hopefully we can raise the bar to match expectations and get a great academy head in place soon. I think the Dark Lord knew this was an area that paid for it self and more so maybe left them to it to find, coach and school the kids to reap the benefits.

What timeline did you use. No chaplow, guly or sharp etc.

This is turning into an inquisition!

That's the guy! He's left the FA as he couldn't do what he wanted. Now with Fulham iirc (I'm sure jam will know ;-) )

Or younger with bags of potential!

Not another. Who was the last one that went to the FA? I can't remember his name.

Marco Polo is good in the box, does go forward and explore as much now adays.

Happy Birthday Luke.

Have you found a new vein of to mine, I would have thought you'd have run out by now (and Trousers will be after you for some spares).

I agree with your conclusion Hatch

Wage is a better predictor of league position, but that isn't hard to figure out!

Who's plan?

But don't worry this obsession is only one way! the laughs keep coming.

Did you save on using a glass too?

Yes please, I'll be missing this too!

I think the new compensation factors in additional payments for appearances and sell-ons. The lower league clubs need to adapt and I can see the movement of players being the other way round where the league sides will be picking up the graduates that don't make it at the bigger clubs but hopefully have gone through a decent coaching system so will be better for it. The biggest issue in this country is the lack of decent coaches, thanks to the FA.

I've tour around SA and have family there and you'll be fine with a bit of research of the do's and don'ts, just like any other place you visit really. One area you don't go into is the flats. The biggest problems there are the inequality and the poverty which hasn't really been addressed, no doubt with a power makers and those in power making sure they are alright. I remember the transistion of power and the effect it had on business, people training others to take their job, not the best candidate moving up the corporate ladder and other corrupt practices etc.

I remember those sessions but today it is completely different! There are a number of components to 'fitness' - strength, power, agility, flexibility, balance, local muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, strength endurance and balance (1). The first four are the main components of fitness but all nine contribute and will also vary to each sport. Cardio work will impact the other components. TANCRED, B.

Good question.

superb stuff!
