Nonsense GM. If you wanted to sell your company you would expect your agents to be putting on a good show publicly and doing a bit of gladhanding. Not squirreled in offices.

There was some "enterprising" company a few years back that was selling bottled water from Yorkshire in the UAE for about £20 a pop. I guess it worked for a while.

The concorde at Manchester is having a special hanger built for it next to one of the terminals so that people can go and admire it up close (and in the dry). That's more than any other concorde owner has done!

Always fancied having a nose about Oldham and Grimsby personally.

I think you should resurrect phrases like beetroot face Alps. No one will mind now.

and KD. He has commitment.

I think Pulis would have been the man who could have turned it about for us in the second half.

So glad I decided to clean my paving stones today rather than go to Wolves. At the time it was a tough call, but not now.

When the new owners take charge of SFC in the Hamble Parks Country League I will buy some shares and I will put forward a motion that any player signed has to have an IQ of at least 110 so they know what they are meant to be doing on the pitch and what not to do off the pitch. There will also be a wage cap of £500 a week with proper bonuses for proper performances against Netley Wanderers etc. Any player who can't comply with the terms can go back to the dole queue. What other criteria should be applied to the Phoenix Saints?

I like your optimism.

It's imperative that individuals and businesses donate money to ensure that the players can be paid until the end of the season. Don't forget that!

It was a general point about decline. And with a few exceptions such as KD it's valid across the board IMO. Who would be stupid enough to entrust the future of SFC to players like BWP and McG? A rhetorical question, obviously.

The problem with this wonderful academy that people rave about is that recently cart horses are talked up as race horses. Not the players fault but most of them are thick enough to believe it.

Seconded. Too many players who don't even understand real life.

The Goody monster lives according to the Daily Star on its headline. Jesus and Jade.

An emphatic 3-0 victory for So Unreal against one of two promotion rivals in VI 46 sees the team nicely poised in second place with the same points as the leaders. The last day of the season game between the two sides seems increasingly important as title aspirations look set to go down to the wire.

Strawberries have one major problem. The pikeys who pick them urinate on them to make the weight up.

Has anyone ever managed to get peppers to grow? Mine were rubbish last year.

Play it cool against any bots or crap sides and your dressing room will improve.

Very useful. Ta.

Sack 'em off! It'll take you four days though.

There's enough redundancies going on in F1 without you adding cost overheads!

As JB started the thread I suspect his comment was ironic badger!

Scrubbing emissions with flue technology is critical to the future operation of any coal fired power station in the EU. If FGSE (for sulphur dioxide) has not been fitted to any plant by now it is only allowed a further 20,000 hours of active energy production life until 2015 or it will be closed anyway. So it's not being bothered with for older coal-and oil-fired plants that are due for retirement such as Fawley (and many others). For local reference purposes, Fawley is not a baseload power station even now, it just gets called on in peak times. Oil is too expensive compared with coal and gas to run a power plant even if it is next door to an oil terminal. Oil powered power plants are also far more polluting than coal ones per energy unit output because of the levels of emitted gases involved in both processes and operations. On the upside, Fawley only produces 1,000MW at capacity and the new gas-powered Marchwood station that will come on stream in the next two years will also make nearly 1,000MW but far more efficiently and will be baseload to the Grid as a consequence. Theoretically, cheaper electricity to Soton. I need to consider what your fellers there are discussing as it is not clear what gases may be scrubbed and how St Landrew.

A good 6-0 victory today but I am third with all three top teams on 24 points. I play the top team at home next week and I think I need to buy in. The dilemma is buying one readymade rather than three possibles for the future... I have about £900K in the bank. I am in Div VI but a tough one. I won it last season but didn't get promoted. My squad is quite a bit worse than the other two teams by total TSI but better balanced. I generally play 3-5-2. My goalie is fine. My defence is alright but could be better on TSI. Only let in 5 in 8 games though. But the other two teams are similar letting in 4 and 6 so far. My midfield has a central guy who has TSI 10000 but one of his sidekicks of 5000 got red carded today. Could have done without that. But I have a young fill in of 3000 (although I had the choice of flogging him or another similar guy a few weeks back. You guessed it, the one I sold is now on 4500 and when I sold him he was 2800. Although I bought them both for less than £2,000 last February). My wingers are both about 4000 and happy with them atm. My forwards are light. I haven't really played my top scorer from last season as he is only 2000 and passable but his set pieces are solid. Not sure what to do. He scored 18 last season and that was better than any other player in my division by 5 goals. My other ones are 5500 and 3800 (but he seems to be getting worse and he is approaching 30). Next week's opposition team has some high TSIs. Top guy is 22000 and 3 or 4 others of 10000+ but then there is little else. Any thoughts? PS. Check out So Unreal for a friendly
