I have come to the conclusion that the Liebherrs are far, far more important to the club than any number of Corteses or Pochettinos, and from what I have read the Liebherrs are still here

The general trend is upward but there will be ups and downs within that.

I suppose the key question is why he left. Was it because there was a serious difference of opinion and he felt that his position here was untenable, or has he had a more attractive offer that was far too good to refuse?

He was never going to be here long term. He's not from this area and presumably only took the position because of Markus. He has achieved what he set out to do and the club is in a very good state. Maybe he gets an offer fro Milan and decides he wants to be nearer his familiar surroundings? As an American once said to me: "Nobody's indispensable. Kennedy gets shot, we've got a new president in five minutes". With a business of this size this situation will have been prepared for.

Do we know when that was arranged?

Can he play left back or in goal? He's a professional footballer. He'll do exactly what he's told to do.

What's Lowe doing at the moment?

Exactly He's an employee, like any other.

One of the first rules of business: If somebody is irreplaceable then get rid of them.

Rag week

If he's not playing and not likely to then why not?

That's a very convoluted argument. There are companies who can't afford to pay any more and aren't making any profits. Anyway, how does this differ from raising personal allowances in order to take the lower paid out of taxation?

I'm not sure if I ever saw him play, and I've got a season ticket. Was he in an early round of the League Cup this season?

Er... the companies don't actually receive anything.

It's just a reminder, lest they forget...

It wouldn't surprise me. Let's just fine everybody £10 who wants to come into the city, shall we? That'll stop the bastards.

Yes, it look s right dog's dinner. The safest way is to separate cyclists and traffic completely and you'd think it would be possible with the multi-level road surfaces.

Alexandra Bastedo... There's another of my fantasies gone http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mandrake/10569649/Will-Omar-Sharif-attend-Alexandra-Bastedos-funeral.html http://www.chichester.co.uk/what-s-on/culture/tv-and-animal-champion-alexandra-bastedo-dies-of-cancer-1-5803170

What, being German? There was definitely a two-year gap between births across a very large number of mothers. What are the other suggested causes? Edit: I've just had a quick look: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/contraception-guide/Pages/natural-family-planning.aspx Lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) Women don't have periods while they're breastfeeding (this is known as lactational amenorrhoea), so breastfeeding can be used as a form of contraception. This is known as the lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM). Not to be recommended as a reliable method, mind you.

Doing my family history research it was obvious that women would have a baby every two years until they got to their late thirties. Whilst they were breast-feeding they didn't get pregnant again. Death rate amongst children was typically 1 in 2 in the cities and 1 in 3 in the country. 10 to 12 children was common, except for my wife's great-grandmother who was German and used a piece of sponge on the end of a string (don't try this at home). She only had two children.

With those new lights parking in Woolston and walking over will probably be quicker.

Tommy tank.

No, I suppose not. It's all this business about being in an offside position or being offside. Never mind, they didn't score, we won, match over

Unbelievable! And very moving. Thanks.
