Veho must be chuffed to have their brand alongside global giants (love em or hate em) Carlsberg and Adidas.

We'll do well out of it - either with the player or a big slug of cash. Lovren summer 2013, Alderweireld summer 2014, hopefully someone equally good 2015.

I dunno, I doubt it. My maths teacher insisted X + Y = Z was just like apples + oranges = pears. I said it equalled fruit salad and got a detention.

I can see why its been a while since you did that.

Yep They're on a roll after the general election. They'd struggle to predict Christmas day atm.

I think the reverse would apply. Almost by definition most small business owners pay themselves a decent wage, otherwise they wouldnt bother with the hassle. Currently they are undercut by the minimum wage behemoths. A higher minimum wage could actually make startups more viable.

At his third (or possibly 4th/5th/6th/7th/8th) choice

I agree

No company = some other company selling clothes and employing staff - unless your argument is that if the minimum wage goes up to a reasonable level we will all be naked?

Jump, then I can read it on your blog for free

Thicket?

IIRC the only team in the PL to have had a negative nett spend on transfers in the past five years (ie sold more than they bought)

Cant see a timeshare working

There is a really important idea here that deserved a much better programme. T

Castrol

Only if you're very ****in old!

Exactly. The reason the interviews all go the same way is because the Liverpool PR people brief them all the same way. We're just as bad. I find our new signing interviews cringeworthy.

Definitely

Its a fair summary of 'where we are' (or as much as it can be given the article is a year old) but not of 'how we got here'. The reason the Troika has been relatively harsh is because successive Greek governments have lied and failed to deliver on previous agreements - and the longer it dragged on without meaningful intervention the worse the situation got. Greece should never have been allowed into the eurozone, they should never have borrowed the money on false pretences and the Greek people should never have elected whoever promised them the most jam today. There is plenty of blame to ago around.

Its looking like Tsipras has really overplayed his hand / misread the mood of the country. He went for a referendum, presumably convinced the voters would back him by voting No in an attempt to blackmail the lenders - but Ashcroft polling reckon the Yes vote is odds on.

Why would it be significantly different to that given the size of the transfer and high wages?
