I'm a little disturbed by the lack of compassion being shown to people with phobias on here. As MLG will tell you, phobias are involuntary states of mind - a form of mental illness in other words - so I would urge people to show some support and empathy to phobics on here rather than negatively admonish them at every opportunity.

My counsellor always told me it's the people who respond to these meaningless posts that you've got to pity most.

I hope you got that verified by MLG before posting? Too many round numbers for my liking ;-)

Yep, I think you're right....c.20% of our squad could probably hold their own in the Premier League. This agreeing malarkey will never catch on you know.... ;-)

Aye. Could be that.

Ok. Slightly lazy wording on my part. What I'm trying to convey is that we're not getting as many "these are good enough for the league above" players in the squad in the championship as we did in league one. That is all. In fact, we're roughly 50% down on that target given a relative comparison of the squad a year ago to the squad today.

Indeed. As you rightly highlight, at the moment we've got somewhere between 25% and 50% (absolute max) of a premier league squard, where as this time last year we had c.80% of a championship squad. That's the difference I'm highlighting.

We all heard Adkins (and Cortese) say that a lot over the last couple of seasons (i.e. "we're in league one but buidling a team for the championship before we get there") but I've not heard him trot out the same mantra since getting promotion to the Championship. To me, the vibes I'm getting from the hierachy at SFC this year is that we're building a team that can hold it's own in the Championship, and fight for for promotion, but we don't appear to be looking further than promotion this time around. Just an observation like.

So, everyone's in wild agreement then. i.e. that Gorkss CDAJFU this season....?

Sounds like the latter to me

Today's Daily Mail 'comment' section... "All in it together? In the City last night, more than 3,000 bankers joined the revels at the Square Mile summer party, sinking an ocean of champagne with burlesque dancers, jugglers and reality TV stars. With exorbitant bonuses on the way – and no effective regulation of their excesses in sight – isn’t it truly sickening that the people who crippled our country have so much to celebrate?"

The Daily Mail reporting today that this deal is getting close to completion...

Boxing day? You sure about that?

Because we were all happy to feed off the spoils of said greedy bankers in the 'good times'?

Having commuted daily to London by train for the last 25 years, I can confirm GM's statement that the service is considerably more reliable than it was pre-privatisation is correct. I will need to do some research on the cost side of things to see if the "it's much more expensive these days" suppositions also hold true. I would imagine the overall cost the commuter had to pay for his/her journey in 1986 (tax + fare) isn't much different to what we have to pay now (relatively speaking).

It's Jessy Fusu. Make up your own punchlines....
