Tokyo-Saint

It actually is an old English pronouciation. The colonial slave owners used it and it stuck in Jamaca and is still used by them today. Younger people of Jamacan decent still use it as I expect older family members do and their parents/grandparents before them. If you are not jamacan or of jamacan decent, and use it out of choice or to sound like a yerdie, you're an idiot.

I'm not being funny but at the end of the day, when all is said and done we will basically never meet. I bet you're lovin' that innit.

Keep on topic please, this is a thread about QPR.

This is the kind of thing we should have played after the final whistle against Cov, not bloody chelsea Chelsea, a song about an ex stripper girlfriend by a Scotish band. As for the 80s crap...

I bet your like David Jason playing Dell Trotter Bear. On here you is likes all bads with the Spelling and stuff but actually, when you want to be, you speak in an upper class, standard English that even the queen would say is 'a bit posh'.

"Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese has made a claim to new and *prospective signings that the club can challenge for a Champions League place in the next three years."

I don't want to argue but (I am going to start something you will disagree with and therefore argue with) That's that last time I am going to tell you/I am not going to tell you again (Used to be said a lot in my house when I was a child - I was always told again) I don't mean to complain but (see argue) Special tribute has to go to Jeremy Kyle who has made a career out of shouting at chavs and using phases they will understand but annoy 'normal' people: 1) At the end of the day 2) Step up to the plate 3) Put something on the end of it 4) I'm not being funny but... I am sure there are many more.

People that say 'not being funny' are in general the least funny people you will ever meet.

I think he was in England in general. I don't think the tempo of the game here suited him.

You could maybe make up a whole team of Chelsea signings. Definitely if you add Man City to the mix but I guess you have to make some crap signing along the way to the top.

whoa - that means stop a horse in English. We had almost gotten to 3 pages without disagreeing on anything. You will now have at least 6 posts complaining. Turkish and I will evenually get accused of bullying, although no one will be able to give an example of when this happend.

My Palace supporting mate said that we have raped them over this. He thinks Clyne will go on to be England's first choice right back.

That's what Lampitt said when the original document landed on his desk.

What make me laugh is.....

When can we start poaching players? From now on, they will follow a very low standard scale which disadvantages lower ranking clubs, and gives an absolutely huge advantage to higher ranking ones under the new system. After all, this was a scheme devised by the Premier League, and his hence heavily biased towards giving the elite clubs a huge advantage. The scale will be as follows: For each year spent in an academy between the ages of 9 and 11 – £3,000 For each year spent in a Category 3 academy between the ages of 12 and 16 – £12,500 For each year spent in a Category 2 academy between the ages of 12 and 16: £25,000 For each year spent in a Category 1 academy between the ages of 12 and 16: £40,000 This means that clubs would only receive a maximum of £169,000 upfront for a young player, though there may be the potential for the selling club to receive up an extra £1.3 million, dependent on how many Premier League appearances the player makes up to a limit of 100. There will be a sell on fee of 20%, plus 5% for every future transfer. Good though this may sound, this will still be significantly lower than most clubs have received for nurturing top players of the future under the current tribunal system, with smaller clubs still struggling under the outgoing system of compensation.

The independent auditors who carried out the inspections, “Foot Pass England” judged clubs on ten factors, these factors being: 1. Vision and strategy 2. Leadership and management 3. Coaching and developmemt programme 4. Education and welfare provision 5. Games programme 6. Athletic development programme 7. Player development programme 8. Talent indentification, recruitment and registration 9. Facilities 10. Corporate and financial stability,

Any idea what % we got (or the others)?* *saintsfanCam and SB, this is a serious question as part of a discussion. I am not prying MLG for info hoping he will make a mistake.

I wonder what would happen if a youth team had a Rooney or Walcott type player and got to the final, just as the first team coach calls them into the match squad. You would think that the first team would always take precedent, if the manager called up a player but... If it the first team was mid table, going nowhere and the youth team where pushing for the champions league, I wonder if the kudos of winning the youth trophy at European level, the added reputation for the academy etc would ever cause a chairman to say "keep him with the kids for now". It would never happen with an old school chairman but with a chairman that puts a huge emphasis on the academy and its reputation, it just might. (prepares for the barrage)

Yes, that's the one. Difficult to say really but as I guess, with Buttland looking to cost £6m, I would say the £4.5m fee then is more like £10m now. I remember Denilson, he was all step overs and no final product. Always seemed to be on a free transfer in Football Manager as well. Betis seemed to put all of their eggs in one basket with him. There was an interesting program on the radio the other night with Tim Vickery, he was saying how Brazilian youngsters get so over hyped, partly blaming Nike. He said that less than half of the 'wonder-kids' actually go on to play at even a reasonable standard.

Good news.

I once did by mistake (well around the Uni area anyway). Was having a kick around in the morning and a mate asked me to drive him to the Uni as a favour, would sort me out some petrol and a couple of beers in the evening. It was a sunny day and we had nothing to do so jumped in the car. I didn't think anything of it as I use to work for a company in Fratton and knew the area fairly well and did that journey most days. I completely forgot what I was wearing, until some toothless chav shouted "feckin scumma", then thought oh sh!t. Felt a bit of a tool as it looked like something someone would do to make a statement or start trouble, which is wasn't at all, just a fairly stupid oversight. My mate didn't really give a sh!t about football other above the level of headers and volleys so didn't really get it when I was telling him to hurry up.

Another good one. If anyone has time can they make up one of those team things. I nominate Massimo Taibi as the goal keeper, £4.5m back in the days when this was a huge sum for a goal keeper (Bufffon and Van der Sar aside) and was a complete flop.

Good shout. I always thought he was a great player in his younger days and then just seemed to lose it. I think when he moved back to Sweden he became a goalkeeper for a bit and was actually reasonable.
