Maybe they should do the engineering work during the week when less people use the trains...

by that logic we could have spent all our budget already...

You assumed right, Sir.

I'd hope that that former chairman was a long, long way away from our club.

No, the running track thread is better.

Coyu's?

's on the other fred...

Very good of Gray to oblige so willingly then.

Just for the record, how do you know he was on the coach and training in the morning?

I must admit I'm not Lawrie Mac's biggest fan - I was getting into football about the time he left us the first time - but I also feel that he could add value to the club. Aside from the hospitality side of things, I reckon he would be excellent at persuading players to come here, really selling the club to them. Cortese clearly feels that he needs to see the benefit in anything that he invests in and I sadly don't think that there's anyone at the club who is willing / able to sell the idea of bringing Lawrie back into the fold. As you say, it's worth a punt.

I'm still f*cked off that he was spending more time sorting out Lallana's contract than Matty's tickets.

I can't help but feel that this story has been worked up to make it more controversial. Firstly going on about the picture, when that has nothing to do with Cortese. Secondly, McMenemy was on Five Live a couple of months ago and while he noted that the current chairman is running the club like a business, to me he made no effort to put the boot in. I totally agree with you, Um, that there surely must be a compromise that allows this all to be put to bed. However if push comes to shove I can't see why Cortese shouldn't try and run the club as a business. Surely his first responsabilty is to look out for the Liebherrs' interests, not dish out freebies and invites (no matter how much we as fans might feel they are deserved).

Because if he did so an Arse come in with an offer today that we can't turn down then he'll look like a liar or a fool.

What was the benefit to us in cup-tying him?

I can't think of any games I'd have wanted less. I can't stand United and can't see us getting a result. Sooner it's out of the way the better.

I take solace from the knowledge that this forum is a haven for civilised and intellectual debate.

Verbal's covered it...

They're not allowed to.

Aren't they all now?

Definitely.

Gives a few people an easy shot at Cortese. Plus I think the apparent bad blood between NC and MLT is something that troubles a lot of supporters at a time when things are looking better than they have done in years.

Were these similar goons to the ones who chanted One Chris Baird after he and Kelvin had a set-to on the pitch?

He looked out of breath celebrating the first goal...

Graeme Souness?

Not very peace and love...
