lol, another one of our fans who can't accept a different point of view.

He's ok at this level, but is he good enough if we get promoted? Personally I can't see it. However, as always if we were to swap him for better quality would that be an issue?

One less now!

I must try that. I went to Aldi and the cars were sh it.

Yep. good old Mr B.

The organiser of the Romsey one is a mate of mine - a big turn out would be great as he puts a load of effort in every year. http://www.romsey-classiccarandbikemeet.co.uk/

Lol...that's exactly what I pay my license fee for

OK. I couldn't go on holiday today because of the fecking snow.

Happy to admit I've never seen him play. You seem very confident in his ability based on your comment. I assume you've some substance to back that up?

+1. I would expect that to be in the vicinity of the dressing room wall at Brentford away on 30tH April when we seal our promotion....

As proven by his only signing to date, Richard Chaplow. Oh. Adkins has signed one player, which pretty much everyone agrees has been a great signing and exactly what we needed. I'd be pretty confident at this stage, based on RC, that he knows what we need and has a good idea who he wants.

Do you?

It's my 40th on 29 December. Small world.....

We lived just up the road from Richmond in South Yarra - Alexandra Avenue on the banks of the Yarra. Pretty busy main road (more so now due to the tolls on the SE Arterial) but great location. There are some great locations in and around Melbourne. Bayside, as in Sandringham? I liked it round there.

No you're not......they have big, big, big money to throw at it / FIFA. The logic defies belief, so there must be some other reason.

Would he have won with ENgland though if he didn't have the cash at his disposal (if you see what I mean)?

Him and Man City deserve each other - classic case of a mercenary going to a team who only have one way of attracting players. MC are so dull to watch, it beggars belief that they've spent 100's of millions on playerrs and can be that ordinary.

This is the real issue. Let's not kid ourselves that it's our arrogance. The media is a problem, but only because they are doing exactly what a free media should be doing and showing up FIFA for what they are. Looking at the reasons why Russia and Qatar should not be handed the WC, it only leaves one stand out reason why they were. I'm pretty sure the Russian and Qatar 'free' media would not be allowed to run any kind of investigation, and would never report any backhanders even if they knew they were happening. We roll out royalty, the PM and Beckham...they roll out Abramovich......... I'm disappointed we failed, although IMHO our bid was flawed by trying to spread the WC into far flung corners of the country - 43,000 stadium in Plymouth? FFS, do me a favour. That aside, considering the current global financial issues and climate change, does it really show FIFA as being in touch with reality when they give the WC to Russia where there will be significant air travel, and Qatar who will spend billions and billions on stadia that will be taken down (apparently they'll be 'given' to neighbouring countries...how's that going to work?). I could understand Spain / Portugal or Holland / Belgium for 2018 (decent stadiums already in place), and Australia for 2022 (although air travel would still be a major issue, but stadiums are in place and it's a new continent for the WC), but Qatar and Russia? I wonder why they landed it....

Lived iN Melbourne in the mid 90's. Great city - would go back tomorrow and live there is opportunity arose. Where are you going to be living?

Yeah, Sky saying the same. We're gone.

Where?

Hmm, FIFA delegates seem to be full of self interest. Panorama may have been badly timed, but I bet it was accurate. With this is mind it'll be Russia and the influence of the Olygart (sp).....

My home town so would love a trip to The Crabble

Some might say that's better than being the most egotistical user. Surprised PB hasn't picked you up on your grammar yet.
