Give it to Ron

Exactly he was only at the specialist at about 4pm at the Nuffield so shame on him for not letting us know what Dr said.

Forster is seeing a specialist now.....source my boss who is sat near him who just text me...he is on crutches(Forster) I did ask him had he dropped them yet :-)

Beat Newcastle u16s today

Les Reed stated the figure at a meeting I was at recently.

Whelk how long have you been married? As someone who has for 32 years never hit her, watch about 4 games a weekend, hate B&Q with a vengeance can tell you that there are many times you let them think they wear the trousers. That's not desperate its tactics....

As the dad of a ref this is a very good post - I stand on a touchline watching/protecting him from some of the biggest ****s you could ever hear most weekends who have absolutely no idea on the laws of the game. refs get 1 second to decide - pundits sit in the comfort of a warm studio watching it in slow motion from every angle and still get it wrong. I was at a presentation by a top asst ref last year who admitted some refs are too arrogant to listen to them and want to make all the decisions which is why you see some never flag when its even a yard from them. As for help from the 4th official....so what level do you go down to? Conf, league two? Prem only? think of the extra cost - does that alienate the other leagues even more from the holy grail that is the Prem League? Top refs get about 100k a year..my son gets about £20 with no help normally from cheating club linos...no microphones or tv how much tougher will that make it for him and others who do this for a bit of money as the **** Tyro dads will expect him to freeze frame and watch it again from his Iphone :-). I have seen some brilliant young refs in Southampton this year, whats the difference.....positioning....most can get close to play - Dowd for one makes decisions from far too far away.

Yes its exactly that slow sustianable growth - we have a 7 year plan that want to see us qualifying regularly for Europe. We will not go gung ho and put ourselves in the same situation we had 5 or 6 years ago. The aim and ideal is still about 50% academy players in the first team - we have 'blooded' 7 players under Ron so far this year.We do have contingency for players, coaches and managers if they leave - we cannot compete with Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool salary wise - still from our Championship/League One salaries still having some effect as you can only grow that so much under new rules that benefit bigger clubs - 5% or our wage bill is far less than 5% of the top sides like Chelsea, City etc. so they get better deal again. We are punching above our weight but going to give it a real go anyway. Source: Horses Mouth

Did they ever find the missing Arab who owned the shares?

Me too.....easiest accumulator ever to pick.

Another vote for Pro Glaze from me - did mine very happy with them

A bit skint and having let ST go am looking for a stream for tonight anyone know of decent free ones?

I was in Liverpool for a few days this week and Besiktas were in town...they would scare the pants off our lot. probably the noisiest fans i have come across in 45+ years of going! There is a post on twitter of them in the centre of Liverpool One outside the Wetherspoons.....

I can recommend the Cosmopolitan inTribeca. Subway very close great pub across the road. Brilliant deli close by and 20 mins from all the tourist places.

Just for info we have some very good young goalies coming through the academy now. u16's especially.

I totally agree with that...also there should be a restriction of foreign players in a match day squad as well to give the academy lads more chance(less cost). We might as a country even do better at internationals - I think Spain and Germany have far more home grown than the UK.

Loads....many IT companies pay others for R&D. Many have loss leaders and prop up others to keep them going. There is a growing gulf - hadn't you noticed in your little games you administer that several teams had disappeared...guess why? But you are only interested in the glory division.....give me an away day at D&R, Crewe, Plymouth than a day at Arsenal with all the glory hunting numpties you seem so at home with.

WTF has that got to do with anything...do the corner shops sell good to Tesco's? Do they develop and nurture stuff for Tesco's? Your ideas are more Poundland....

TBF they are not subsidising their rivals though are they - without the lower leagues their wouldnt be room for young players to learn trade and progress onto bigger clubs. There is too much money going into Prem agents/players wages that should be funnelled down to those leagues to ensure there is a structure.

Are you being serious...honestly??? Teams like Eastleigh etc don't deserve a hand up? Teams like Dagenham&Redbridge who despite being surrounded by richer clubs battled up to the FL with minimal resources? Teams are struggling financially because they are all chasing the glory ...they have very little option if they want to survive have to build better stadiums and get in debt to try and get numbers through gates. Something you think we should do that could see us back down if Liebherrs sell out to a Pompey arab! Many lower clubs don't have mega rich chairmen like the Prem clubs....you are obviously a little boy as you don't remember Chelsea/Man City before their windfall Chelsea at times didnt have a pot to **** in. You would soon change your story if there was a super league and the rich top 4 ****ed off to that and we lost a lot of revenue.

Its teams in the 4th tier that need the support far more than the Prem clubs where average players earn far more than they can ever spend. Its teams in the 4th tier that are really struggling...teams have disappeared who I used to watch at The Dell years ago. If we had not been lucky enough to get a decent owner we could have been 4th tier. Your arrogance and ignorance are again shining on this thread! View was right!!

Have a read through the QPR match thread for evidence. Its the usual suspects. ...

Lido Di Jesolo is a lovely beach - plenty of restaurants and bars stay open late. Easy access to Venice from ferry. Beer is between 6-8 euros a litre so not cheap.
