  1. Been involved in a few over the years but Millwall the other season would be right up there as would Lambert at City last year. Don't think anything can touch Moran at Fratton though.
  2. Veloce is fitted as standard, it's a total upgrade from the Xenon. Very few in the country with this spec. http://shop.epic-cycles.co.uk/bianchi-via-nirone-7-alu-carbon-veloce-59cm-225-p.asp Frame: Bianchi triple butted 7000 series hydroformed alloy frame with K-Vid Carbon seat stays. Fork: Bianchi FN11 K-Vid 1-1/8" Carbon fork. STI Levers: Campagnolo Veloce 20sp Front Derailleur: Campagnolo Veloce 20sp Rear Derailleur: Campagnolo Veloce 20sp Chainset: FSA Omega MegaExo 50/34T Brakes:Reparto Corse Cassette: Campagnolo Veloce 20sp 12-25T Compact groupset with chainset and brakes. Handlebars: Bianchi Reparto Corse Oversize Anatomic Stem: Bianchi Reparto Corse Seatpost: Bianchi Reparto Corse 31.6mm. Wheels: Bianchi Reparto Corsa Mach1 Versus. Tyres: Vittoria Zaffiro/Hutchinson Equinox 700x23c (tyre model may vary). Saddle: San Marco Ponza Power Saddle. Pedals: N/A. Going to go clipless, which will be an adventure. Thankfully part of the buying process is practice on the turbo trainer with clipless shoes. Sportives I've either signed up for or intend to do are: 1 day if the Tour of Wessex - 24th - 26th of May Brewood Sportive - 7th June Shropshire Hills Sportive 6th July Great Weston Ride - 20th July New Forest Rattler - 17th August. Stafford Sportive - Date TBC Also some of the Polocini Series based up near here which include rides over the Peak District. Should be fun. By my next birthday (October 2014) I want to have completed at least one 100mile Sportive
  3. Arsenal - I'd pay to watch them as a neutral. Wonderful football at the moment. City/Chelsea - The league goes to one of those come May. Utd - Love seeing them struggle. Saints - Struggle to believe what I'm seeing at times! Everton - RM doing a great job. The rest - couldn't care less about.
  4. Plenty wondered why we bought him when the Cork/Morgan axis was working so well. I would imagine everyone can see now. He's an utter beast.
  5. Fitting done and deposit paid. It's a thing of beauty with carbon stays as well as forks. Upgrading the wheels as well. Already booked some sportives as well so I have something to target.
  6. Find evidence? WTF is this CSI St Mary's? How's about you find evidence that I'm not correct or how's about I don't give a fat rat's arse about what you think?
  7. Nope, it was a cohort of duffers (they have coaching badges don't you know), who were consistent in their slagging off of Morgan. Even back in the dark early days in L1, and even the season before, his class was clear but he wasn't good enough according to them and should be shipped out.
  8. Where are all the old farts who were saying he was sh*t & we should get rid? It was clear in anyone who knows anything about the game that the boy has always had the class, now he has the steel as well.
  9. That 2nd 1/2 was un********believable! I now officially believe we can achieve great things!
  10. Nor do I. Deppo could be cutting, but always did it with wit and intellect. Thus new persona is just very bitter and not a hint of humour.
  11. Deppo, why so bitter?
  12. We don't have a bath, just walk in showers, big one off the combi and one off the electric. The savings in in terms of gas use has been astronomical, especially with three kids. All the main lighting is energy saving and everything bar my router/modem is switched off at night as opposed to just standby. The kids are still under training to switch lights off after them etc but massive savings can be made. Combi boiler cost me around £1400 three years ago this week and it's paid for itself already.
  13. I changed suppliers in the Spring and have been paying £180 PCM for a very big 3 bed Edwardian semi (DG, loft insulation etc), 3 kids, 2 primary and 1 secondary. This is the same price as I was paying before. I enter the meter readings every week and so I'm currently in credit to the tune of £700, my bill will be way lower than expected with the bonus of cash back just before Xmas. Had a new combi fitted 3 years ago to the week and it's already paid for itself when I compare pre/post bills and usage.
  14. Pap has never said that they murdered their kid but he is saying they might of killed her. Big difference and millions also consider it highly plausible.
  15. Same as last year.
  16. JWP reminds me of a young Scholes.
  17. Yes you can and every sensible parent has.
  18. I would never dream of leaving my 3 alone whilst I went for a meal and drinks and I don't know any parent worthy of that title who would.
  19. Like Hatch I got an infection and my plums were more akin to watermelons! Don't regret having it done though.
  20. Totally. We've had Skates say that they don't want to be in the BPL "just making up the numbers" or like Ipswich, who have been on the Championship for 13 seasons, so where do they want to be? When faced with that question they simply flap their mouths in a confused manner as their tiny minds attempt to compute the alternatives. So what that they've got FP. They had to sellout to Tesco's just to scrap some cash together to keep the place open and this dooming themselves in the future as they will be in no position to expand. They've been so desperate to own their own debts that they've doomed themselves to an eternity in the little leagues.
  21. TBF I reckon many of us could do a better job running the TO!
  22. Personally I think the lad is utter, utter class but I'm not sure he's the attributes for the BPL nor is he hard working enough for Pochettino.
  23. I've had one. Not the most wonderful experience I've ever had.
  24. Why not? He seems happy enough at the moment.
  25. Personally I think England will utterly trounce the convicts again. Do anyone of our convict brethren have any news regarding Clarke's iffy back?
