  1. So Matt Le Tissier was not great? Do you really think that he can only be a 'great' player if he wins things? There have been many great players who achieved 'greatness' playing for lesser teams who did not win much. I realise the it is now easier to reach that level playing for a big team but the door isn't closed to all others as we have seen with the England team selection.
  2. +1 - 555
  3. Some details; http://www.goal.com/en-ke/news/4522/kenya/2013/11/15/4409682/wanyama-nominated-for-2013-african-player-of-the-year-award
  4. I agree. He has been a revelation but he is still young. If he is going to make a mistake then this was a better match to do it in rather than when we are 0-0 against the likes on City or Arsenal. Shame about the goals conceded though.

  7. So why the hell have you already posted twice in this thread? Congratulations on being the first person I have insulted on this forum you total tosspot. Now go somewhere and get a life.

  10. Tis indeed.. with a few minor adjustments. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, say no more!
  11. M: (Knock) A: Come in. M: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument about England’s football team and Rickie Lambert? A: I told you once – Lambert should be playing for Tranmere Rovers. M: No you haven't. A: Yes I have. M: When? A: Just now. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: You didn't A: I did! M: You didn't! A: I'm telling you I did! M: You did not!! A: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour? M: Oh, just the five minutes. A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did. M: You most certainly did not. A: Look, let's get this thing clear; I quite definitely told you that Lambert is a big boy’s blouse who isn’t good enough to play for the Skates. M: No you did not. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: You didn't. A: Did. M: Oh look, this isn't an argument. A: Yes it is. M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction. A: No it isn't. – I never used one of those in my life. M: It is! A: It is not. M: Look, you just contradicted me. A: I did not. I never touched you. M: Oh you did!! A: No, no, no. M: You did just then. A: Nonsense! M: Oh, this is futile! A: No it isn't. M: I came here for a good argument. A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument. M: An argument isn't just contradiction. A: It can be if you’re a Skate. M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A: No it isn't. M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction. A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.' A: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! A: Yes it is! M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes. (short pause) A: What the hell does that mean? - No it isn't. M: It is. A: Not at all. M: Now look. A: (Rings bell) Good Morning. M: What? A: That's it. Good morning. M: I was just getting interested. A: Sorry, the five minutes is up. M: That was never five minutes! A: I'm afraid it was. M: It wasn't. Pause A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore. M: What?! A: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. M: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on! A: (Hums) M: Look, this is ridiculous. A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid! M: Oh, all right. (pays money) A: Thank you.
  12. If they did keep the receipt it wouldn't be in joined up writing....
  13. Am I missing something here? I happen to live almost 6,000 miles away so don't manage to get to too many games. When I do visit I usually get a friend to organise my ticket(s) so have no knowledge of how the system works. I also develop websites and assume that when you try to buy a ticket online, you have to enter your Season Ticket number or some other unique identification data? At this point surely the system can check what type of Season Ticket you have and only allow you to purchase like for like? That's how I would implement it - saves a load of grief, not to mention unnecessary phone calls. There again, maybe I'm being too simplistic. I design sites that assume that if it can be abused up by a user, it will be (usually pretty quickly).
  14. What's all this talk about going down? I thought this was a football forum...
  15. Oh yea of little faith. What about Arnold Ancastle - signed in 1908 for 3 guineas..
  16. I only just saw this thread - I am guessing you already know the answers, but just in case; What’s on offer are 140 channels which includes 31 channels in HD. As for the EPL, you will be able to watch all 380 matches on six dedicated channels. The prices start at only 599 Baht all the way up to 899 Baht depending on how far in advance that you pay. 899 Baht – Subscription price for paying monthly Pay 899 Baht per month for 10 months (8,990 Baht) and watch for 12 months which makes it 748 Baht per month Pay 899 Baht per month for 18 months (16,182 Baht) and watch for 24 months which makes it 673 Baht per month Pay 899 Baht per month for 24 months (21,576 Baht) and watch for 36 months which makes it 599 Baht per month So, every Saints match live - same a sit was with True :-)
  17. You are absolutely right - I 'd forgotten about him (easily done - some might say best done...). Not the Pele that immediately springs to mind for most people though!
  18. You're probably thinking of Eusébio - similar era and a great player of his time.
  19. Exactly. We need to move towards providing an experience that is pleasant for all, including those who want to eat. Do you think the fact that a very small percentage of people bother to eat (or drink) is maybe due to the crap quality being delivered? The supercilious comments from the usual suspects (who it seems, have no interest in eating and think that we should accept the cr*p quality being delivered) is a great example of what this forum is like. If you are not interested in eating then fine - but don't try to tell others that they shouldn't worry about the quality being delivered, or they're not real supporters because they don't get p*ssed before every game. Those that think the food is not important should tell the club - maybe it would create enough space for a crèche for those that need to get a life that includes consideration for others with different views and priorities. P*ss off you forum bullies.
  20. You might like to update the number of followers for the Thailand Fanclub Facebook page in the original post. There are (as of 30/07/13) 1,135!
  21. I live in Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. The last few years we have had every Premiership game shown live here. Now I understand that True (the Thai provider) have lost the franchise. I wait to hear who the new provider will be....
  22. Unless things have changed in the 12 years I have lived abroad then it will make a big difference to NA because severance pay or pay in lieu of notice is tax free whereas putting him on gardening leave and paying him monthly means he has to pay tax. Usually a contract will have a clause to cover this eventuality because it is not just salary that has to be considered but also other benefits like a company car, medical insurance etc.
