  1. I think that we deserve an explanation at the very least. Bring out the bear! Is there no Habeas Ursus in this fair land of ours? This is indeed a sad day for justice
  2. It's unbearable without him.
  3. Amen to that. He will not be forgotten.
  4. Don't be coy, Phil, does the number at the top of his list have a Dubai area code?
  5. An incredible story of unbelievable heroism. What is surprising is how little is known about it in the wider world.
  6. How does this affect the number of English teams in next year's competition?
  7. You'd hope so but in this case there are so many factors involved it must be very difficult to separate their influences. Nicotine or cannabis, I value my lungs far too much to ever have tried either.
  8. It could just be that those who stop smoking pig out instead and get obese?
  9. Not really you were very close, as the Duke of Wellington said: "It has been a damn nice thing-the nearest run thing you ever saw..."
  10. I think you'll find 'f#cking' is a gerund.
  11. A prediction can never be wrong at the time it's made.
  12. Turned out nice again!
  13. Sorry to be a pedant, but shouldn't that be 'dyslexics lure'?
  14. 9/10 I don't like the construction of number three, which is poorly phrased with or without the comma. I also disagree with the one about the chair. 'I was sat in the chair' is perfectly correct in a wider context, e.g. 'When I was very young my mother took me to the dentist and I was sat in the chair'.
  15. You would need to look at the bigger picture. The new players would also have a value as assets and there is a load of guaranteed income in the form of television money and at the least, parachute payments. To talk about debt in isolation is rather pointless.
  16. According to the article in The Times IIRC there is a break clause at four years at which either party can walk away from the deal with no penalties or recriminations. My take on all this is that somebody is speculating over the fact that his contract has not been renewed but this is hardly surprising considering that our Premier League status next season was only assured two days ago and I would have thought that there would be a considerable difference between planning for the Championship and for the PL.
  17. I remember them well. Didn't they both play in the 1953 Cup Final?
  18. Perhaps the young lady can keep you entertained and keep your mind on other things?
  19. I'm in. A football club is the heart and soul of the community - look after it!
  20. Apparently there have been 1278 managerial departures at other league clubs since he took over at Man Utd.
  21. Great fun! Thanks for that, If it weren't for the false moustache I'd never have recognised him.
  22. At the rate you get through them I'd keep it for spares.
