Or have a parent company that does more than just running a football club....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2957392/Win-tickets-Southampton-vs-Liverpool-courtesy-Barclays.html Might be worth a punt

When do the qualifying rounds of the CL and EL start? Qualification for either of those will obviously restrict the time available for a long distance pre-season programme...

Alderweireld is at a 'meet the fans' event at the stadium shop this afternoon. Hopefully someone from here who went along asked him the obvious question and will report back shortly

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/experts/article-1589276/What-is-receivership.html So, going by that, receivership sounds worse than administration?

He's already 'lied' to you though....he said "negotiations had to be done by last October" whereas you've just said "its obvious that they weren't done". So he got that wrong for starters....?

Defeated

This is plane silly but nothing to get in a flap about

This is a whole new level of dreadfulness today

Sherwood confirmed as new manager

West Ham are, somewhat annoyingly, absolutely dreadful today

The hallowed turf is looking mighty fine today....

Or....if only West Ham's defending was as poor as this when they played us....

All "student fees" do is put graduates on a different tax band to non -graduates when they start earning a decent wage. When one starts a job with a decent income one doesn't 'worry' about how one is going to pay this months PAYE 'debt, it comes out at source and you budget what to do with the rest of your income accordingly. I just don't see it as a debt, its note of an investment if anything....

The 'real' me isn't as politically dogmatic as the online me.... Believe it or not

My daughter is in her last year at 6th form and I'm placing equal emphasis on university and apprenticeships. I never went to university and it never did me any harm....

Sounds like you might be "better placed than most" to highlight their misconceptions too?

In which case, I wonder why they are so late in being presented if there's nothing complex about them?

Here's the FA statement: http://www.thefa.com/news/governance/2015/feb/adrian-wrongful-dismissal-claim-upheld Which to me confirms it was withdrawn solely because they decided it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity, not that it wasn't an infringement by the keeper, nor deemed to have been preceded by a foul by Mane. If Adrian hadn't dived onto the ball then surely Mane would have had a goal scoring opportunity? Edit: the common consensus amongst West Ham fans seems to be that it couldn't have been an "obvious goal scoring opportunity" as they were both moving away from the goal, not towards it, which is a fair point I guess. That said, it wouldn't have taken a lot for Mane to nick the ball away from Adrian's feet (if he hadn't dived on top of it) and slipped it into the goal with a nimble 90 degree spin.

Ian Abrahams (Moose) ‏@BroadcastMoose Good decision overturning Adrian's red card as he wasn't preventing a goalscoring opportunity So, what else stopped Mane getting to the ball and having a shot if it wasn't Adrian's intervention....?

Fixed it for you

Carroll ruled out for the rest of the season
