I believe that Luke is a by far better player then Buttner, even now, let alone as he grows further. It wouldn't be a good replacement for me.
-
Just shows that the offers are there for Billy if he wants them.

Stulti, stolidi et Troglodytae Or, a slightly more thoughtful one: Variatio in themate

Only if we can find someone of at least immediately comparable calibre willing to join. Good to see that some newspapers (if you can call the Daily Star something that reports 'news') are picking up that we do not need to sell.

For those who have just upgraded to the new iOS, what are the impressions? Looks good to me, and delighted that at last I can access bluetooth/wifi/aircraft mode settings with just one swipe. A glaring omission that had been present on my S3 that has now been rectified. It looks contemporary and up to date, sadly my work calendar no longer syncs with it. Hopefully our central IT in Germany can find a work around. There will be further tricks to find i'm sure.

I would take 0-0 as a terrible result. Any result with a '0' in the away column will be unacceptable. We need to start taking the chances we create, Liverpool will be attacking us at home and will leave gaps as a result. A score draw, acceptable. A win.... well, naturally. A goalless draw will however just further highlight the issues we are currently having in front of goal and show we have not made progress in solving them.

#spoilers# And says it just seconds after it is 'proven' to have been effective. Not that it's explicitly shown to be the correct target. I fear the satire may be a little too subtle.
-
Yep. It was a bit.... much.
-
On that basis, if we really still want him then January is the time!

Tried that. I've seen Michael in the prologue but he hasn't been introduced in the story yet, I can only select Franklin in the character option.
-
Got a little way in with Franklin, reached a bit of a dead end though. Towed a few cars, filmed a celebrity in a 'compromising' position.... Not sure where to go now.

"Ferguson's Formula" - parallels with NC/MP approach?

While here may be parallels in approach there is one major difference. At Manchester United the strategy was manager led by someone who fought to have effective free reign on all areas of footballing policy. Here it's all led by the Chairman. The managers do not have the same control. While the ideas are extremely similar the man in charge of the first team will never be able to command the same respect that Fergie achieved at Manchester United. -
Didn't bother pre-ordering, just popped into Tesco at lunchtime and picked it up (from the top of a plentiful pile of copies) for £38. I found GTA 4 boring but this is so far an absolute blast! I have also been to the strip club but rather then get shot went home with a dancer. This is going to take up a lot of my life I can already tell.

Still waiting for Guly to join the 'three division' club. With his contract up next summer though it needs to be sooner rather then later!

Well, as i've always experienced the tax is simply the slight monthly deduction onto of the usual PAYE. The £4k a year sounds very steep, even on the old Mondeo I had 15% list price would have been £3,150 per year. In reality i'm paying approx £960. So the only way that would in any way work is if it is 15% of the vehicle cost over the three year lease term.

I've never had the option of a car allowance but even if offered I would stick with the company car scheme. Inclusive servicing, tyres and insurance and it really came into it's own in the last couple of weeks after I was hit by an uninsured white van man at the exit of Winnall Tesco, the peace of mind and convenience in having to just do the minimum follow up and let the company's insurer do the rest really helped. The car is actually being collected for repair today with a courtesy car in exchange. Tax only works out at about £80 per month (Some basic calculations based on a take-home salary calculator compared to my wage slips, I have the generic rep type Mondeo/Passats) but couple that with a new vehicle every three years and no depreciation to factor in it's effectively negligible. As you also wouldn't have to compromise too much on the vehicle you would get Turkish I would go company car all the way.

Jonjo Shelvey, what a crazy 3 minutes for him.
-
Excellent, my stalker has arrived! Good lad.
-
Don't ask, don't get. Every little helps. And if it gives him extra incentive along with helping a more then worthwhile cause, why not!
-
I can see both points of view here, but i'm favouring the one that shows a guy with a vice try to shake it. I wish you luck Huffton, this is something that could be of good to yourself and the charity. Hope it goes well.

Good point well made, they are excellent vehicles all things considered.

All I will say is, the C30 is nearly is impractical as the 1 Series.

Where would you see him fitting into our current formation and how would he best compliment the other members of the squad?

How have we got this far without mentioning Nile Ranger? Edit: Damn you LeBenali!!!!
