Wouldn't change anything from last week. I'll be late on parade on the match day thread have to go out to Sharjah today. Highly traumatic experience spending any amount of time up there, it's like going "Oop North" except they don't have beer up the road..... Shudder

Another member of the converted. David Moyes calls Poorsmuff Unfashionable (nearly) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/8067601/Everton-v-Liverpool-Anfield-club-fired-up-after-running-Texans-out-of-town.html Lol that's been one of my bugbears as well. Welcome onside David Insanity definition often tucked at the bottom of Corporate emails "Is to keep repeating the same mistakes and hoping for a different outcome" Some people never learn I think it is called

Uh no. HTH Forget employment legislation and right and wrong for just a moment, Football is a business in the public eye, NEITHER party had anything to gain from an Argument, so a settlement is the way to go. AP did a good job building our infrastructure from scratch and for that I give him my thanks. As Darren W so eloquently said elsewhere, he gave us the JPT Final at Wembley for which I give him my thanks He gave us our first Winning Season in many years for which I give him my thanks He found a way to fall out with his Chairman, for which I call him an Idiot He did well for us, could have done better but did well. Now it is Nigel's turn. I think (hope) he will do better, but then as a football fan, all of us hope for that no matter who we support. Thanks AP, good deal done for all parties, good luck in the future, life is for living. Get on with it and same for those hung up on here about it

Found this music site by accident. You lot probably know it well. Anyway, when you are stuck at the desk or at home with the headphones on surfing, you can go to their home page, type the name of a band & it creates your very own radio staion with that band and similar ones. Absolutely superb to listen to for a change each evening. Tonight I typed in The Killers & got a whole gamut of related type stuff that included White Lies, Pheonix 1902, Coldplay etc. I haven't been in the mood for any RnB type stuff but as a random music provider - in Facebook terms D_P likes this www.jango.com Thought it worth a share, being an old fart probably zillions of others out there

Time for some

As a comment says.... And you guys still give Development Aid to India -
Lol as I was typing the bit about asking for players to defer wages someone finds he is already considering it! Damn I'm good and WOULD have had my thoughts up earlier IF I hadn't been eating Brunch!

Which is why we will continue to see a succession of articles and comments from him bleating about the unfairness of it all. Then he will miraculously come up with another solution that "requires time for all Stakeholders to investigate and to take on board before we can move forwward" Which SHOULD "given the magnificient support of the players who voted to forgo their wages this month" will mean that they get to hang around until at least November. He will try EVERY trick in the book to get this to last until January when the transfer window opens. In the meantime he will be trying to get advanced payments from clubs "to buy the options on loan players purchase" and trying to get 500k deposit for the likes of Nugent etc. Which will be followed by a desperate plea to the FL, UEFA and then FIFA to allow them to sell players outside the transfer window (again) AA has got his sums wrong, he burnt cash to fast but he HAS to get through to January. The ride will be fun, don't get the bread out the freezer yet, it will be like Nottarf by the time you put it in the Toaster - all mouldy.

But that is the problem. Chanrai's charge on the assets is because he ALREADY gave them a big high interest loan. That, and Footballing debts = $48mil = 4 years of parachute payments. They have ALWAYS been trying to sell a collection of smoke & mirrors, there was nothing left apart from Hope, and they tried to find a deluded fool of a "Rich Man" to buy into it
-
Let's face it, without a Monkey Chicken Petting Zoo to bring in the crowds, the CVA was always doomed. Stupid fools thinking that bringing in Big Name players is how you get people to football matches these days.
-
Well well well. Looks like the FL came to the same (pretty damned obvious) conclusion that I did all those hundreds of pages ago. Chanrai got stitched up, appointed a pet administrator in order to spin things out as long as possible to get his money back from the parachute payments. The parachute would have kept the club running. Again, if this is the start of the end game then I do feel for the true fans of the club. They never stood a chance once Sultan Bin Trump (who never HAD any money) & Ali Al Faraj (who was a figment of Storrie's imagination) came to the club. The Few should not blame Chanrai, he was never a charity, just some money lender who got conned. Look back further and vent your anger on the original idiots who SHOULD have gone into admin a year earlier and MIGHT have been able to save the club if it wasn't for their own greed. All allegedly of course and all long distance analysis

This. It was so clear against the wannbees down the road that Barnard was playing on the shoulder of the CB, Lambert was a few metres deeper (reverse against Tranmere with Guly) and as per Spain in the WC, the CB's pulled wide to take the ball from KD. Suddenly we no longer play the long ball to RL. The oppo midfield then HAVE to close down the FB's rather than drop deep in an 8 to help the defence beat RL. Simple and it will be very effective in this League.

If that happens you may want to buy Champagne futures. A lot of people in IP & the City will be drinking to that magic moment

I was clicking around to find some Lyrics to make a joke on the Chilean Lift Music thread and looked for "Fake" as lyrics. Google found "Fake It" by Seether. When I clicked the Link, Jango said it had made a new radio station which plays a whole buinch of modern Heavy Metal from Bands I have never heard of + Creed. Am really enjoying it. http://www.jango.com/music/Seether?l=0

Would start with Guly.

There'll still be a damages law suit in the US. The UK Court dismissal was enjoyable BUT somewhere there wil be a piece of paper that will allow them to use a US court. This will be a cracker. Sit back and enjoy

Oops sorry BIG mistake - about 500 pages ago

That was around 200 pages ago. He was head of Hydra Properties Abu Dhabi & ran a local reality show called The Hydra Executive where the winner (strangely a cute Western Blonde chick allegedly) got to become his PA at Hydra. Which all went boobs up when he got "relocated within the organisation" prior to taking up Chess

What, you want us to explain ALL 679 PAGES!!!! FFS you can pay for the phone call then

For a good fun cheap evening of entertainment, check out The Comdey Club. Main base is in Leicester Square but the same Comedians perform at 2 or 3 venues per night. I went to the one in Ealing at the old Studios and it was about 6 quid to get in and normal Pub prices. Ususally 3 Comedians and at least one always hits the spot. Just don't sit in the front row - get their early if you can

Radox is always good to relax I find, and Mr Muscle gets the grime off nicely in the morning

I know you're getting old and the memory goes first, but it was Cardiff Alps, Wembley was a flat pack at the time.

It was mentioned in the report of the Dinner that NC held with 24 ST holders that he said it was being something that needed to be organised as soon as possible. Gawd knows where that thread and report went HTH

Another "Let's try and rattle the Saints' applecart" article from the Echo. When did they appoint a Skate as Editor in chief or is he still carrying sour grapes from losing his war with NC? get over it FFS
