Footballers live in cloud cuckoo land, bet they don't even know what a recession is.

We are in League 1, we have players here who feel they are better then that and are not willing to stay unless they are on silly money. A lot of what is wrong with the game is due to over spending on wages on generally dissinterested journeymen, the term 'professional' footballer is very much a contradiction in terms these days. If they want to go, let them. We don't need to be a selling club anymore but neither should we be a final payday for a mercenary. We need hungry and determined players to get out of this league, and we should be able to attract ones of half decent quality. Let the players who don't want to carry their weight go.

No real point as such. I just find it fascinating that the issue of climate change can be so totally polarising. Many intelligent and high profile individuals have very readily allied themselves to the 'Oh sh*t we are causing climate change' bandwagon even though there are findings going both ways, anything to seem responsible and caring I guess.

First Griffit, now Smith. Coming soon, Federico Arias? Crystal Palace, the home for rejected Saints wingers.

I sincerely doubt he will be up to speed straight away, but once he readjusts to the rigours of racing he should be ok and up the sharp end in a few races. He may not be up to full fitness and he may be 40, but he was one of the first drivers to be a pro athlete as part of his remit, that will put him in excellent stead. As an aside, how old was Mansell when he won in Adelaide 1994? I know a refew drivers won races in their 50's during the 50's, but if he could win on his return where would that but him in the all time list of 'oldest' winners?

Er, what is it?

To be fair, it does still feel too good to be true.

I accept that my phrasing was incorrect, but I have essentially said what you have put there in my preceeding statements, just you feel that we don't know. Considering Nicola Cortese's statement though I think it's safe to assume they are clear, Leibherr is a pro, he would let things like that be said unless they are true. Nonethelss I have altered my post accordingly.

We where in Administration, the business had failed. As such there where two options. 1) Liquidate the clubs assets, sell them on and break up the failed byusiness with the money from this partly paying off the creditors, ensuring they recoup at least some of their loses. 2) Get someone to buy the lot, satisfying all creditors that it's the best they are going to get ensuring they get some of their money back, if not all. '2' happened. Leibherr bought the freakin' lot, meaning that all debts where satisfied. The ten point deduction however still applies as the club (f*ck all the holding company balls, the company existed as a front to support the club....) was insolvent in the first place.

It's like watching a fish flap about on dry land.

That's a different Valencia. There is the Circuit de Valencia, which is used for Moto GP and F1 testing and the Harbour street circuit where the F1 race is held.

How can you rent a track that is partially based on public roads? - Ah, you have understood your mistake.

Well, Sheffield United are running a 'World Brand' thing, not sure what benefits it is giving them mind. At the moment they own and run 'Chengdu Blades' in China and they also, somehow own Ferencvaros. Crystal Palace also have a team in the US Second devision. Not sure if thats working at all for them. I would rather see the 'core' club grow then waste money on aquiring other teams.

Oh, and an honourary mention for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpoki4wBwtA

And if he runs the club like Madejski who's to say he will not.

My favourite scenes are a mixture of fist and guns fights, are from Equilibrium (a matrix rip off staring Christian Bale.) It's an incredibly dumb film interspersed with outstanding set pieces. A great no-brainer.

With the car's performances being so even at the moment, and assuming he can get somewhere close to his best, I would say he will win a grand prix before the season is out.

My local plumber may dissagree. We shall sign someone soon though, no doubt.

I do hope that is Bullsh*t. It does concern me.

That picture makes me feel simultaneously happy and depressed. Happy to see the great man get the reception he deserves, but so sad that he obviously doesn't have much longer with us.

That was Mark Webber. As Arizona stated, Gene got a point in the Nurburgring 1999.

If Marcus Leibherr is serious about making Saints back into the community club it used to be then he has to give serious thought into resurrecting the Girl's team. I will give the benefit of doubt to a lot of the trolling posts regarding women's football. I do understand that it may not be the rough, tough man on man action these red blooded hetro's can only get away with watching without feeling insecure that they are used to, but we had THE BEST womens team in the history of the discpline in this country. That is something worth reviving, protecting and celebrating.

Did Eugen 'The missing piece' Bopp play? Leg-end in the making.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet That is all.
