Stick to what you know Dune.

I'm going to start a thread soon.

It was tough out there today.

#21 Fair point. But that was then, not now.

I imagine loan deals have been done with Prem clubs. No need to panic.

He'll end up tweeting Shakespeare before you know it!

Peel didn't take the grant money back then as they didn't own the Port of Liverpool at that point having purchased it since. They will attempt to overturn the conditions as they have done successfully on very many other occasions. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm saying that is what they will look to do. I know how Peel works having worked with them first hand. Peel has incredible clout in the north west. One 30-year £40bn scheme they are proposing is called Wirral Waters, close to Liverpool. It won planning consent earlier this year and promises thousands of long term jobs and huge investment. They will use the same argument with local and national politicians to state their case with the Port of Liverpool.

Incredibly stupid post. One point that is worth mentioning also is that people seem to be under the impression that Liverpool are trying to get their plan funded by the government. In fact the Port of Liverpool is owned by the Peel Group http://www.peel.co.uk who have about £6bn in UK assets and employ 5,000 people. It is their plan and like any other property group they are looking to tap into UK and EU grants to accelerate investment. Peel are also incredibly ambitious. Southampton needs to up its game to stop a Liverpool cruise port development occurring with good plans of its own that will keep major players like Carnival and P&O onside.

I'm with Tom28.

I prefer to call them unique rather than lunatic.

Junk journalism ready to go by the Echo.

Adkins can say what he wants again and again IMO! Quite happy :-)

I bet Billy Sharp hates his agent!

BBC text says Rickie "produced" a shot... blimey. I'm in for science but that's too much for me!

Thank the Lord we didn't end up with these guys two years back given the mess Coventry are in! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/default.stm

The point about Guly might be right and maybe we've not seen that yet but I don't see him as a proper number 9 player. My concern is that we know Rickie is a powerful and effective point man who ties up central defenders, takes space up in the middle and worries defences with his presence - and that's not been shown with others yet. I think Nige also viewed or views Forte in that role a bit, but he hasn't shown anywhere near Rickie's all-round abilities in his albeit limited opportunities to date either.

Whatever the pros and cons of another forward, we deffo need back up for Rickie. He works so hard he's bound to tire at some point and so far we've been lucky he hasn't got injured.

Superb. His chip over for Lallana's first goal on Tuesday was exquisite.

Try lion dung.

Agree with this. Can't see NC and Nige wanting another Puncheon type character.

I'm very happy with my 5/1 for promotion now!

+2. And NC isn't going to let another prima donna like Puncheon in either. I bet Billy Sharp is a bit ****ed off with his agent now though.

Stonking. That is it.

Anything to do with David Speedie, Kerry Dixon or Perry Groves. All the blame on Branfoot though.

Yeah, cos we're in trouble.
