It's only taken me three years to earn such an accolade on here. Cheers!

Wolves pull level 2-2

Wouldn't a tulip be more apt?

I think this is all about perception. Indeed, I have read Duncan saying on here on many occasion that he would rather see the back of all 3 of them. I'm sure if there was a poll on here with 4 options - (a) Lowe (b) Wilde © Crouch (d) None of the Above - option (d) would win by a handsome majority. However, (mis)perception of opinion tends to be swayed by the simple fact that most people will reserve their criticism for the current incumbents in any given 'bad' scenario. Take politics for example. I don't rate any of the main parties at the moment but I tend to vent my spleen most at Labour because they are the ones in power. Simple human nature. Dig below the understandable emotive nature of Duncan's posts and I see more balance than is perhaps perceptible on the surface.

"Bugger" is ok though. edit: FFS...can't even post pictures of sea-faring birds either. What's the world coming to?

Duncan Goodhew's ?

Hmmm.....Interesting....I wonder how much the two clubs have talked about this recently, if at all? Playing career Lallana was born in St Albans but moved to the Iford area of Bournemouth[1] when he was five years old. He was a member of the Bournemouth Centre of Excellence, where his rich potential was eventually spotted by a talent scout from Southampton, with Lallana snapped up by the then-Premier League club, joining the Saints Academy as a 12–year old in 2000. Southampton paid £3,000 compensation to Bournemouth with further payments of £5,000 and £10,000 when he signed scholarship and professional contracts respectively. The contract with Southampton provides for Bournemouth to receive 25% of any transfer fee, in addition to the payments already made.[1]

I'll be going to a Halley's Comet spotting party that night so will raise a glass there.

Appreciate you don't want to turn this into a regime discussion but I don't think you can divorce the two as my answer to your question is different depending on who is at the helm. If the £200 had the effect of retaining the current regime (and I refer to all 3 of the main players in the boardroom merry-go-round here so no politics on that front) then I would not participate. If, however, the £200 helped pave the way for a clean sweep in the boardroom and a completely new owner then I would be interested.

Depends if someone 'inadvertently overhears' a conversation without telling anyone....? Ok, I know I'm alluding to illegal practices (and obviously don't intend to infer that is happening here) but, knowing how 'clever' people that 'play the markets' profess to be (in spite of recent global events) I would be surprised if there weren't loop holes to be exploited somewhere along the line....

Market cap now below £5m (@£4.92m) Significant psychological threshold perhaps?

Or someone in that grey area between the 'inside' and 'outside'....?

A logical hypothesis IMHO

Great thread title...

Alas, one of many loose ends

..

Unlike the Summer 2007 takeover rumours?

Or maybe their 11 match unbeaten run (or however long it is) sort of compensates for an off day every now and then? (now, where did I put that picture of apples and oranges...) Are you suggesting that people on here would moan as much if we slipped up once every 11 games rather than once every game (on average)? Actually, scratch that question....!

We're getting quite good at this, aren't we?

Leon: "Rupert, Michael. Top of the morning to you both. Please can I buy £2m worth of your shares at 16p a throw?" Rupert/Mike: "No"

Not necessarily (I won't bore people with my usual hypothesis on this)
