Now that IS a wise post. IMHO if you picked a team from the players left AFTER NA selects his first 11 I think we would survive in the NpC with the reserves. Our best would be above mid table. The critical piece of the jigsaw is that spark of something different/ Last season no doubt Lallana had an impact, as the season went on he wasn't as critical but was still missed. The real issue this year is who will provide that spark. Will AOC have matured and cause mayhem? Will it be a healthy DC? Could Guly finally show consistency & clinical finishing ability? Or can Les Read & his team unearth another gem from Europe?

I note a disturbing attention seeking trend on this forum of members posing naked for photographs. All very well if Granty has a plan for some charity Calendar for 2012, but doing it on your opwn thread must be infractable at the very least. There are CHILDREN with access to this forum. Atticus, Supermikey (almost)....

1. Hell of a right hook 2. How the hell could she react before "security" Lol gotta love a feisty woman!

Sorry to say that most of the questioners came across as opiniated amateurs. They were up against US Corporate trained attack dogs who had been thoroughly briefed by teams of lawyers. Who the hell was the idiot before Mensch almost begging Junior to answer his "assumptions" and thus destroy the Police Investigation? Questioning by Committee, a lot of them ended up looking like a Parish Council, it was poor. The Murdoch Empire was there for the taking but not ONE of them seemed to understand that to attack a US Corporate then you have to attack PROCESSES, things like Budget Approval Levels, Management Decision making. Of course Murdoch got away with "being evasive" none of the numpties asked the right questions. Still in another two days or so it will all be forgotten as the Tsunami rumbles on. Oh and wonder if Gordon will sleep well tonight after that short and dignified riposte by Rupert? We all know Cameron sure won't and that's for different reasons

The questioning itself seems good, but they all keep deciding to add in their opinions or interpretations to what are supposed to be questions of facts which means they don't get full answers.

Post #493 of a week ago. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8647138/News-International-faces-threats-over-hacked-emails.html Give my IT Security Buddies their due, they knew itw as coming, so how come NI didn't beef up security

On a lighter note, it appears these days that the UK Parliament is occupied by a bunch of t1ts. Perhaps the Ruskies have a better way to link t1ts & Politics, might rekindle some interest and some mass debates on important subjects. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/8647028/Russian-girls-urged-to-strip-for-Putin.html We await further developments

Mind you it would be a fair guess to say that perhaps Dave is waiting to add a few more items into his apology list

At THIS point in time with the information in the public domain to date. AND ditto with the historical "goings on" and "lack of inquiries" in the time between 2003 when this started and today. Hence why should keep balance not politics in this. Oh and the Euro collapse. Well, guess what next - yep time to help out all those poor starving Bankers with tax money again. Ask the Greeks & Irish how they feel about it

On a side note Think they missed a real trick by not including Barry the Briefcase and asking him some questions (Let alone that lot down the road)

Being unable to watch C4 down here I can only accept everyone's interpretation that the reporter was a *^!t. There is one technical point that does exist however, for which outsiders could argue gives them cause for valid criticism. As far as I can tell, there is no actual "Up to date" "Corporate Legal" statement of ownership at this time on record. Namely we are all ASSUMING (in the lack of any information to the contrary) that the one share of DMWSL613 ltd is owned by "The Estate of Marcus Liebherr". It is what we have understand to be the case based upon what we have been told, but legally, nobody seems to have found any legal statement saying that... Nobody actually knows (ie has linked to a legal Document) whether the Estate is still in Probate or not (we seem a little short of experts in Swiss Law) Nobody actually knows (ie has linked to a legal Document) who the beneficiaries are Nobody actually knows (ie has linked to a legal Document) whether the benficiaries have equal shares in the Estate (We can ASSUME, but are there any LEGAL records filed?) There is then one other open question at the moment Whoever our "Current" beneficial owner is under UK Corporate Law - Have they undergone the FAPP test? None of these are in anyway actually linked to the C4 programme that I can see, but are questions that have been posed on here in recent debates about the way forward, ambition, transfer policy and funding. (for example opinions about Trust Funds etc have been put on this thread) We have statements from NC on record and I have no issue with those. Technically, and legally, there are "gaps" in the Information filed in the public domain. They could be due to differences in Swiss & UK Law BUt the fact is they left a "technical weakness" that C4 could then exploit (and then Sensationalise) for the benefit of their programme. (Does NOT stop the reporter being a *&$t) While I am looking forward to seeing NC wade into attack C4's interpretation and delivery style in last nights' progamme, he WILL have to actually have specific facts to make public to show C4 they were wrong. And that gives C4 an excuse unfortunately, so it just makes it a but more difficult to go on the witch-hunt.

Mods - any chance of taking the schoolboy fight posts out of here. This is about following the information as it comes out and the noise causes you to lose really good posts like the one by UP up above. This is bigger than party politics. Somebody right at the heart of this has now died in unexplained circumstances.

Life is a sh1t Sandwich. How good it is depends on the thickness of the bread.

Totally. Moaning - The Great British Excuse for not trying something interesting or different in your own life. Glastonbury is the largest event in the world, covering so much more than simply music. My ex spent a very entertaining night sitting in a tree house listening to poetry after a session making Pottery and learning some Tantric Healing skills. Me? I just passed out every night, but each to their own

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8645223/Phone-hacking-Serious-Fraud-Office-considering-investigation-into-News-Corp.html And SFO now looking in to whether major Breaches of Company Law/fraud have occurred. US Authorities also been in contact with them If you didn't already, SELL News Corp/News Int shares PDQ

Not quite. But I think we should say a big Hello to all those Channel 4 Researchers out there who have surfed all of the Poopey Thread & The Golden Takeover threads in order to learn how to set up a scam. Goddamit we so really should have copyrighted a lot of that stuff, Barry The Briefcase makes it into the press & no doubt they learnt a few tricks from us as well for tonights show...

You are not allowed to post that Gordon may have overstepped the mark with his public statements. The mob will hound you down

Been mentioned lots of times, it is the FCPA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. It applies to any subsidiary of any US listed company. More to the point, it is a legal condition of accepting employment that new employees are made aware of the act and trained in it. One of our guys is off in the UK sitting through it this week. There was no excuse for the NDA's - the money was paid Clifford & Taylor and the details not divulged to the US Authorities. Slam Dunk, "You're OUTTA there" SOX issues & Invoice/receipt and purchase requisition approvals will come next

We did not play 4-4-2 last season. And almost certainly will not again this season HTH

Ah, so the first probable appearance of Corp Ho in his ITK Saints fan mode since his big admittance in the Poopey thread

How to break FA Rules. How to get SAF & "Arry to loan you players How to lie to the fans by using a PR company to say you will invest huge amounts of money How to sell your training ground to a Supermarket Chain How to make huge money by getting the club promoted and re-sold http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/8643816/Bryan-Robson-caught-up-in-foreign-ownership-scandal.html Sounds explosive with Lawyers already making statements Doesn't sound good for Bryan Robson

The way this may be going - who knew what when there could be a real major disaster coming up, if it ever comes out that Cameron really did have evidence and still employed Coulson. Still think it has further to go and could go either way. A retaliation against Brown or...

You're reminding me of late of Neo in The Matrix, you seem to have taken the Red Pill of late :-) Had King Arthur on the Movie Channel last night. Once you get your head around the stupid time-line change and Clive Owen as an Action Hero Arthur, it's actually a much better film than I had expected Enjoyable entertainment and a new concept - blaming King Arthur for having to put up with the fecking Jocks being in a UK. 6/10 (Oh and Man vs Fish just afterwards on Discovery had to have the daftest thing I ever saw - fishing for Mako Shark with a handline from a kiddies' "swimming pool" only dinghy in the middle of the ocean... (he caught one) Matt someone Smith I think is a dead cert to end up as a Darwin Award winner before long.)

Think you are way wrong there. This forum is full of some VERY funny as in posters. It just needs some with Humour
