Whitey Grandad

In Blackpool wasn't it? Nobody goes there for pleasure, surely?

I'm with Sonic on this. I want to see us winning cups, not just taking part. And I want to see us making a go of it in both competitions, not treating a trip to Wembley like it was something we'd never do again.

For the last few games they looked to me like a group of players who had never played together before. This had happened several times over the season and coincided with the crabby football.

Or an Archimedes screw.

It may not be for sale but it certainly has a price.

Is that allowed under FFP?

Perhaps I should have said left midfield, maybe wingback if they are still around. His crossing in his last game was awful but he had been off injured for a long while so I'll give him that one. You have to ask why he was chosen for hat match though.

That must be a definition of irony.

Do they sell small replicas that you could stick pins in? Just a thought.

Targett will never be a good full back. His positional sense is all wrong for that position. As a left winger he is a good prospect.

He's entitled to the rest of his contract being paid up, or at the least settled. Nothing wrong with that.

'She has loaned the club money'. What that if not putting money in. Any interest charged has to be at a commercial rate. 'She' is not the club, that is a separate entity so she hasn't sold anything. A lot of players have been bought as well as sold. She hasn't sold the club yet. A lump of loan has been converted to equity. I did say 'the Liebherr family.

It all gets very tiresome. The Liebherrs have put a pile of money into the club and are still backing us. If in the future they want to recover some of that money then that is their prerogative. I am very glad that they are here for us.

Give it a rest. You really don't have a clue.

If we're going to start compiling a list of shítty games then we shall be here all night.

I can't hear it.

I suspect there is a problem with the currency symbol seeing as our friend is probably in Hong Kong. They are often transposed.

Playing for Liverpool?

It increases every time that VVD increases in value.

The link describes the away kit as 'black with green stripes'

Good idea. Shall we do it by gradually raising the temperature?

It's women having kids that causes the problem. Just saying, like...

Have you started a list?

The sun is by far the biggest driver of our climate. Yes, CO2 plays a part but the amount that is generated by humans is not the only source and is offset by the increased sinks. You say that our climate is changing 'relatively fast' but if you look back over a couple of thousand years you will see bigger changes and we have been warmer than this before. Something else is going on too. We are overdue an ice age and the 'future of mankind' is under much greater threat from that than it is from warming.

Don't be so snooty and try to open your mind a little. If you take a couple of seconds to Google "global warming solar activity" and "Jasper Kirkby" and "cloud-seeding" you will find that there is a lot of science being undertaken at the moment but the science is still in its infancy. What you call 'the screamingly obvious' only applies to tiny closed minds. Go and look up 'Maunder Minimum' and 'Dalton Minimum' whilst you're at it and try to explain the correlation between sunspot activity and little ice ages. This is not 'my cosmic ray research', it is taking place as we write but you wouldn't know about such things because you're blinded by what you think is obvious.
