  1. multiple recEivers I think!
  2. I've got the commentary, is there tv too?
  3. Didn't see yesterday's game, but did see Spurs loss to Sunderland last week tv. I thougth Bale was outstanding for the entire game and certainly has grown in physic and attitude.
  4. Like most of us I have met quite a few of our players, but was really quite impressed with Frank Lebouef. I played againt him last year in a charity game (in Redondo Beach) and he was a good guy. He remembered his first game at the Dell and was very complimentary about Saints.
  5. sounds like Compton..
  6. Does being a bar manager count? We had loads of them!
  7. Very interested to know the cause of the fire. I really hope it was not as a result of somebody ****ed up or out of their heads on drugs that caused it - otherwise they should be prosecuted for murder. - That's how it works in the U.S and quite rightly so in my opinion.
  8. What don't you believe? Keep in mind the British govt would have been the biggest customer regardless of Iraq and Afgahnistan - same for the USA, France, Germany, Russia, etc, with their govts. The BBC numbers are incorrect. In 2007 the UK was ranked 7 in arms exporters - USA and China were 1 and 2, and even the Netherlands was number 6. (US dollars) The conflict does not require radar systems, ships, fast jets and large hardware which is what the UK is good at producing.
  9. You are still wrong. The military 'adventure' does not provide an economic stimulus. There have been no new aircraft or systems purchased specifically for the conflicts. UAV's and some armoured vehicles have been ordered but this is not a major job creator. The only stimulus that worked for the economy was the cash for old cars and govt funded construction in the U.S. Your comment regarding the oil supply is a different argument entirely to the economic situation and in any case OPEC controls the oil supplies. You are also wrong about U.S firms rebuilding the Iraq and Afgahnistan infrastructure. Many other European and soon to be Chinese contractors have won this business. The Iraq war was totally ill-conceived I am in no doubt, but don't think it was all part of a much bigger cunning plan - it wasn't. The U.S govt has far more scrutiny than probably any other govt in the world.
  10. Not true at all. Every major country has a "Lockheed Martin" type company. The French and German manufacturers are very successful, as indeed the UK is too. The cost of the war is a significant burden to the US economy and in no way can be looked at as a financial benefit.
  11. A packet of crisps, anadin extra and a coke. Works a treat and you don't have to spend time making it or go out somewhere. I always stock up on it when I am over. If you have a very bad hangover then replace the coke with an ice cold lager.
  12. What a great charity and wonderful way to remember Rich.
  13. You can't possibly be serious???? Sorry, but it is one of those occasions when you are being foolish. Do you really think there are any jobs where you can have no concern for your own future or childrens, etc??? Does your employer 'owe' you a living and security? A business has to be competitive to survive - unions can't secure jobs. Check our where your TV, shoes, car, telephone, etc, were all made. I thought this dispute was about money not job security anyway??
  14. Well Said! From watching TV and live games, I don't think he is an unpassionate manager at all. A little mischief making by the negatives on here I think...
  15. My lad saw Tiff Needell with his kids. Apparently a big SFC fan.
  16. Strange! Lack of moral fibre! Watched on the web and loved it! Really pleased we had so many fans - looked like a home game. 'kin brilliant.
  17. You washed the car instead of watching the game???? WTF!
  18. We all want a picture! Are you allowed to poste a pussy picture?
  19. There was an ex-pats membership scheme in the plan but the club cancelled it after discussion with GM.
  20. RL had nothing to do with this at all. In addition the 'author' has no love for RL. Let's move on and not give this story any more publicity.
  21. This strike is no good to anyone other than BA's competitors in my opinion. The Mail is not incorrect in everything they print but it is certainly true they have a massive agenda and spin stories to suit this agenda - just like every other paper. Whatever your politics the media can spin a story either way. I don't know all the details of this strike but think it a real shame when the good name of BA is shown around the world in a negative light. I tend to view on the side of BA management as the cost to the business is huge - both in the loss of income during disruption and the future loss caused by a lack of passenger confidence. FF appears a decent and honest guy and I don't think he or anyone, deserve the merciless hounding of the press, regardless of whether I agree or disagree with him/them. The airline industry in the US has been completely changed due to the recession and I know for sure each airline's cabin crew have taken massive cuts in pay, pensions and other benefits. The unions quickly realised they had to make big changes to survive. The same thing happened with the car industry and again, the unions had to make changes. British Airways does not have a God given right to be in business. Providing great service and value to its customers, dividends to its shareholders, payment to its suppliers, and a fair and safe working environment for its employees, is how they will survive. They really need all of these to survive - let's hope it gets resolved otherwise we will all have less choice the next time we fly. Personally I think the union believed they could bully BA as a strike is the last thing a major airline needs in this current business environment.
  22. What sort of trophies? A stuffed Barasingha deer head? old girlfriend?
  23. Having a good go at the top teams in the Premiership is better than having a good go at Huddersfield or Preston in my opinion. I agree it's great to be winning games on a regular basis and I am sorry not to be able to go every week and enjoy it, but I would prefer to be in Stoke or Birmingham's position than ours in relation to league status. The '80s and '90s were indeed enjoyable because we were in the highest league, we could attract great players and would regularly beat the 'big' clubs It would not have been as enjoyable had we not been in Div 1.
  24. Agree about Samuel writing to another agenda but don't think AP would return to West Ham. The fans gave him a rough time during the end of his tenure there and I am sure he hasn't forgotten.
