That is a discussion for another place I feel. The ownership of the Lotus branding is a massively complex and tedious thing. Nonetheless a confussion/association in someones mind of an 'F1' team sponsoring us if it was to be Lotus cars is understandable.

Of course I bloody do, but to say that SFC is run 'like a crappy B+B' because it isn't acquiescing to your desires and immature need for immediacy is so utterly pathetic and childish!

Because this IS! about you Alpine! It's a selfish need and desire for information which is provoking a negative reaction because you are not getting any! There is nothing wrong with how things are right now! Your criticisms are selfishly motivated and utterly without merit.

Again, it looks like nothing is happening in an organisation which has operated on a closed shop basis... therefore in your mind it means that nothing is happening. You must surely see how stupid that logic is?

So because you hear nothing, it means the club are doing nothing. That is nonsense. As I said, this is about you, not the club. Get a hobby for the summer and relax, you'll give yourself a heart attack at this rate.

They used to, back in 04/05. If it was to be Lotus then it puts the Red Bull rumours to bed.

Get over yourself. This is more about a selfish need for information rather then anything the club has done 'wrong.'

Yep. Sony has just played a blinder. Shame really. No way will I trust their online security after their recent hacking issues.

Away to Hull

As far as I can tell.... it's actually a glitch.

want!!!!!!

When AOC left it was after a long protracted spell of negotiation which let to him finally declaring he wished to leave. It was widely declared at the time that Arsenal had failed to meet our demands for him and he was only permitted to leave after Cortese squeezed the 12 million (rising to 15 million) fee from them. At no point did the then 17 year old walk away. - He couldn't, he was under contract. The Walcott situation was entirely different as he was under the 17 year old deadline that you need to cross before being a contracted pro. Curiously, that avoided tribunal as Arsenal agreed the fee of 5mill rising to 12 mill based on clauses, presumably out of some kind of professional respect.

No, it's under 17 when they cannot. Theo Walcott signed his first full binding pro-contract just after he joined Arsenal and turned 17. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/4614538.stm

He is under contract, just a limited one. As for the trbunal, it's 7 years down the line from Theo Walcott moving for 12 million and Alex raised the same sum in league 1. Fully expect this to be a mountain from a molehill though.

Just been informed of this, as i'm in home office today i've checked and yes, it's totally free and currently downloading. Not sure how long this will be on for so fill your boots guys!

Assuming the worst then...... We're in the money!!!! Ker-ching!!!! etc

It's fairly easy to follow the team from Coventry. I really do admire the guys who stick with it abroad, not so much in the EU as the TV rights are rather exhaustive - You would never miss a game in somewhere like Malta, but in the more far flung areas.

Just had similar to the news above on SSN who read it in the sun.... Ramirez set to snub interest from Italy after expressing a desire to play a part at the club that had faith in him. Or words to that effect.

Chris Baird also released. He really was a big loss when we lost him.

Now, the black away kit remains a personal favourite. I thought it was just right apart from the material which felt a bit cheap... like most of the Umbro kits we have had. The yellow kit, for me the aap3 logo is great on that one because it is so unobtrusive. In terms of fit and quality that's probably the best we have had over the last two years. Agree with the small sponsors on the Sash kit. The 'Saints foundation' logos on there for those few game were absolutely fine.

Out of curiosity, do you know if he has purchased a £1000 share in the Skates, as implied by the linked article on the prior page?

That has Birmingham City fuming quite frankly.

Well, that's not how this article has interpreted it... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/cricket/cricket-chief-wants-to-join-forces-with-pompey-1-5161966

He is acting professionally. This is the same professional and carefully maintained facade that helped take us to back to back promotions. Adkins gives the impression of an overly cheerful slightly over the top individual but this is all based on his knowledge of psychology and sports science. He is almost certainly one of the most professional and well considered managers in the modern game.
