My guess would be that the rumoured nest egg from ML to be used to push on once we reach the PL was tied up in some sort of fixed term deal to earn a good rate of interest. Thanks to that pesky NA we got there quicker than expected so money still tied up. It would probably be cheaper to borrow money in the short term (knowing funds were held to cover it but not readily accessible) than to break terms of the fixed deposit resulting not only in a loss of interest but also a penalty, All perfectly normal and sensible.

Didn't realise they play each other on last day. Think Villa should stay up but if they haven't secured safety before the last day can see Wigan holding their nerve (been there done that) in a one off game and sending them down.

Karma[*kahr-muh*]noun 1.*action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation: in Hinduism one of the means of reaching Brahman. 2.*the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person's deeds in the previous incarnation. 3.*fate; destiny.

It's not racism. It's having easy access to video, photos, eye witness interviews etc which enables them to make a bigger story about it.

Corrected that for you Nice simile at the end there.

Keeper bottled it and never got close to the ball. As did the player (may have be Le Fondre) who allowed Boruc to get to his second "juggle" under no pressure when even a slight challenge may have won the ball or stopped him reaching it.. Lack of commitment like that from players is why they are going down.

He did. Something I always found strange considering that in order to make sure that tickets were always available for a proportion of casual fans, the club charter at the time stated a maximum of 23000 STs would be available.

That is NOT how people normally fold their arms. Has he just dropped a baby or something?

Let's face it, that's the only way QPR are going to stay up.

This. Whether it was fixed as in both teams coming to an agreement beforehand we'll probably never know. But both teams played the full 90 minutes in a spirit of "a draw suits us, let's not do anything that makes them want to try and beat us" Bolton also drew 0-0 that day at home to Fulham to stay a point above us (2 pts for a win in those days) so a win would have made us Champions on goal difference. Who knows, maybe both games were "pre-arranged"

What happens? My guess is you end up closing down 1000s of privately owned petrol station businesses who happen to be supplied by BP and Esso. Meanwhile Shell and the others can't keep up with demand so they put up their prices. Meanwhile BP and Esso sell their surplus stocks to Shell etc so they can keep up with demand at the new higher prices. Best laid plans and all that.

The fact it happens is no surprise. Naming individuals/companies - with documentary evidence - is significant

Back in the pre-Sky, pre-Premier League days it was probably bigger. Winning the title over 42 games was a bigger achievement, but winning that one off final, one of the few, if not the only, matches live on TV in the entire season, was the game that everyone would remember.

Just jumped a place before kick off thanks to Sunderland losing. 11th place up for grabs if we win today.

I love the second look up after he had shot. For a second he thought he'd missed it

Anything he can do ....... [video=youtube_share;kXTFeFRPlbc]

Wasn't (maybe still is) Sue Barker an ST holder?

Is there a scientific reason why just watching that - let alone actually being somewhere like that - causes my nuts to somehow turn themselves inside out and try to hide somewhere around my lower stomach area?

When you can stand at Weston Shore or Vikky Park and watch todays giant cruise ships going out on a daily basis, sometimes 3 or 4 in a row, another Titanic really wouldn't be that impressive

If Cortese says they're leaving .... then they're leaving !

Doesn't make you less of a fan. Just makes you look like a knob that doesn't know how to dress properly and probably needs Mummy's help on schoolday mornings.

Celebrating? Looked more like saying goodbye to me,
