  1. And was so offended that he was given the Man of the Match award after scoring.
  2. I'm assuming suicide. Coward.
  3. No, the brazilian cheered; "I made the team!!!!" Guly was delighted to get some first team action.
  4. Speak for yourself
  5. I think Boruc. There is a plan B with some base credibility at every other position apart from GK. Even Shaw has the Chambers /Clyne switch. Yoshida is a reasonable fall back for Lovren, Cork for Victor, Even Rickie now has Osvaldo.God love Kelvin.... He is just not commanding enough.
  6. I believe i've got it now, thanks to MLG for spelling things out clearer in the key beneath. A 'rolling' 12 months from point to point would be interesting for me. Can understand the logic of doing it fixture to fixture mind.
  7. So it's if the league ran from exactly 12 months ago?
  8. The one behind the striker who can switch roles with one of the wider players if required for me. His range of passing and delivery make him a valuable attacking asset while his mobility and tenacity ensures that he can track back in to little detriment. Exactly what we need for our tactical set up.
  9. I can assure you that is wrong. Lazy research based purely on the same last name. Having met Chris a few times when I was younger I know he isn't related to Joe.
  10. He really isn't. The man is a Margate (my second team) legend and is from an entirely different family, born in East London, played in the local area as an apprentice and ended up in a career of P.E. Teaching and Non-League management while also scouting for Wolverhampton. Joe Kinnear was born in Dublin and grew up in Watford.
  11. They say the greatest insult isn't to be insulted, it's to be ignored. Frankly I think the swing in standing in the last few years is f**king hilarious, so keep the songs going!! Particularly when the comparison is with how good we currently are. At least that P*mpey fan on a string song seems to have disappeared recently, that was garbage.
  12. With Human by the Killers as the background music. Is this still available at all? I believe a member on here made it.
  13. Great work! Was it really that bad on the home stretch? So jealous of you guys for giving it a go this year. I'll be back....... eventually! Looking forward to hearing how Saint Keith did.
  14. Yep. He celebrated quite wildly when we went 1-0 up.
  15. Stupid ITV, the presenter got confused. Mind you, it's ITV... and also said that Chris Kinnear is Joe Kinnear's brother. Idiots.
  16. Or is it, in the list they have them away to Stevenage!?
  17. It's the Skates at home to Shortwood or Aldershot.
  18. The key word with his point was 'average.' A degree does improve your chances of getting a higher then average wage, equally there are many ways for you to get a high wages by taking routes outside of University. And as Hypo points out, if you do not get to that wage point you do not need to repay it. As far as i'm concerned the fact that uni isn't the only way should be made more socially acceptable to those who have the obvious ability to go to university but who's skills may be better served elsewhere.
  19. Chris Smalling came from Maidstone United, prior to that Millwall.
  20. Despite them actually being better off on a month to month basis then under the current system? (I personally would be approx 80 quid better off) They will owe more overall but would have more to spend in that crucial period after graduation with a higher thresh-hold until they need to start paying back and capped contribution quantities per month. Also, if you never breach that thresh-hold there is no need to pay the money back at all. It also ensures that the universities themselves can continue to operate in the current quantity around the country and with the current variety of courses. Had the system continued it would have been unsustainable and every kid would have suffered, or, even worse, it would have had to revert to something as terrible as no pay up front? No chance! Not to mention the loses of jobs in all the ancillary services, service industries and 'establishments' that students make use of in the cities/towns where Universities are present.
  21. Yes. It's one of the biggest things with the political system that I hate. As things stand politics is a more closed shop then ever, inhabited by people who have chosen the political game as a career rather then a calling. All career politicians, regardless of leaning and party should in my opinion be disposed of. There should be an entry criteria into politics, be it minimum age, outside career, etc. It would encourage those who have lived and experienced the political/social spectrum to actually make the rules rather then those who have no idea outside of their own immediate sphere. It would also give greater scope for people like Owen Jones to put up or shut up.
  22. An example of a domestic policy that was designed to ensure that the university system can continue as it exists albeit at a very high cost (literally) against a policy that had zero effect on 99% of the domestic populace and had extreme outside pressure to make happen. Incomparable.
  23. It wasn't that big a deal to the people in the country who were unaffected. Humanity is fundamentally selfish in nature.
  24. The only party who are willing to make unpopular decisions if there is a bigger picture to consider.
  25. Such is the beautiful tapestry of things.
