  1. A prediction can never be wrong at the time it's made.
  2. Turned out nice again!
  3. Sorry to be a pedant, but shouldn't that be 'dyslexics lure'?
  4. 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'.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I remember them well. Didn't they both play in the 1953 Cup Final?
  8. Perhaps the young lady can keep you entertained and keep your mind on other things?
  9. I'm in. A football club is the heart and soul of the community - look after it!
  10. Apparently there have been 1278 managerial departures at other league clubs since he took over at Man Utd.
  11. Great fun! Thanks for that, If it weren't for the false moustache I'd never have recognised him.
  12. At the rate you get through them I'd keep it for spares.
  13. Can I also have Pavarotti?
  14. Until next Sunday! He's got as many as Berbatov.
  15. Is he related to Mightmanage and Wontstruggle?
  16. I must admit, that is rather tempting.
  17. There's an interesting article in The Times's football supplement today about a book called 'The Numbers Game' which a analyses all the questions such as whether a strong defence is better than a strong attack and the importance of possession. Might be worth a read.
  18. It's a bit of journalist's (Tony Evans) speculation. 'Cortese and the trust that owns the club have been unable to reach an agreement to secure the 44-year old's future at the club for next season'.
  19. If Wigan win both then they will have beaten Villa next Sunday so Villa cannot then get more than 40 points. Our goal difference is 11 better than Villa's so we would have to lose by 11 more goals than they do and then it would be down to goals scored. At the moment we have scored 3 more than them. Don't worry about it, relax and enjoy the day.
  20. This is an important point. He draws attention away from others, who then have a better chance of scoring.
  21. I always enjoy your contributions. None of us were 'wrong', we just weren't 'right'.
  22. Only on goal difference.
