View From The Top

Ask any football fan in the country about academies and ours will be rated right up there and they will ask who is the next one coming through. The skates won't even get a mention. That's all that anyone needs to know.

Only if they don't turn it into equity bit, IIRC correctly, that that couldn't be done at once for SFC for UK business law reasons.

Used it for years and it's a top bit of kit IMHO.

Stating make or break is the language of the drama queen but we will all have a much better idea of our future once October is over.

Meat from a very good local butcher, fruit and veg from the allotment and when not possible Aldi's as it's way cheaper and great quality. I have a large ASDA, Tesco and Sainsburys all within 1 mile so we hoover up the loss leaders. Tesco keep sending of money off vouchers such as £7 of £70 shopping so when they land they get used. Their points, plus an airmiles AMEX = lots of free flights.

Driving across Sandwell, from Smethwick, through West Brom, Hill Top & Great Bridge to Tipton I saw at least half a dozen pubs advertising "Every Albion game live". I know Quinn was saying that it was also happening on Wearside but is it the same everywhere? Where I live I've not seen anyone advertise it so obviously.

Q1 - Yes Q2 - Yes (But is equally effective when he plays at the tip of the diamond)

My nipper is the Saints mascot for this game. He's most excited at the thought of leading out the league leaders.

Totally and utterly deluded if you think we'd spend anywhere need £40m on transfers and wages in Jan'.

And you equate that with spending £40m in January?

Where on earth do people pick these totally deluded amounts of money from? £40m-£50m in January? That's up there with the "Torres wouldn't score in L1".

Mine have arrived now.

He did, as I said at the time but when we were up there the club made it clear to the player and BFC that the offer still stands. That's from my oppo at Burnley.

Only bonus of qualifying is that I can take my nipper to see Spain at Wembley in November.

I would suggest that the left of centre also don't feel represented. The rush to the centre has alienated both the left and right.

Wants to get games under his belt in the NPC and is a very decent player IMHO and Wolves will waver a loan fee and go halfers on his wages. Nice option to have for us in some tough games ahead.

Anyone had their tickets yet? Ordered mine on Monday.

But that can't be right, we stopped him going to the Toon and he must surely be sulking and have handed in a transfer request?

Burnley and the player have been told that the offer still stands for January, according to my Burnley oppo.

He's so out of touch with reality it really was scary.

Really? You know that? You know that the player, who really, really didn't want to join BRFC, wouldn't have weighed up the options? Think we missed a trick in at least not having a go at it.

I'd have him at CB in a heartbeat. I still think we should have bought the lad who ended up at Blackburn.

I've met Gove a couple of times and I'd agree that he's a conviction politician but f**k me, he really doesn't have a clue and is so, so London centric it's scary

The fella I travel to matches with works in The City and we used to argue about joining the Euro. I was opposed and he was pro. My grounds were based on sovereignty and his based on business and even now he has a pro-European view based on business and my pro-European rule contains caveats based solely on sovereignty. Because business and The City are so pro-EU there is no way that the Tories would risk a vote that would lose them the support of their sponsors. After all, you take their coin you dance to their tune.
