Yes to both. What's the alternative way to solve a pay dispute to agree the terms of the pay? That said,whilst I had some sympathy last time, they're taking the piss this time. 29% is mental. I'd still appreciate Hypo to answer the question as to what he says the government should have done differently last time.

Possibly.It may be that we're hedging our bets on outgoings, so Stephens plus 2 from the others, plus Quarshie.

Quarshie is 20 years old and never played above Bundesliga 2. I think that's probably somewhere between the championship. and league 1. He's not the answer, at least not yet. I think we need Stephens around the squad, although I'm surprised we've extended his deal. I think you're right that there will be CB departures though. My money is on Bednarek (and ABK if we can find him a home), and possibly THB, leaving Stephens as the senior man.

Ha!! The credit is all to you mate. Cracking thread, and a welcome diversion from flirting about politics and shit we can't do anything about.

Two foes united by music and a shit football team. Beautiful!

Probably just horsing around mate.

Thanks for that. This Zeneli has good energy apparently, like a Stallion.

Very unlikely. A lambo tyre would be at least v rated (149 mph), w (168 mph), y (186 mph). If the tyre failed at 125 mph, it's a tyre defect.

Yep. Nothing more than that to be said.

Sure, it's fast, but It's not an outrageous speed for a supercar on a dual carriageway. If we're all being honest, if any of us at a young age had a lambo and dual carriageway, we'd all give it some welly. Let's see what the official outcome of any investigation is, but if a tyre blew it'll have been speed rated to well over the speed he was going so he's just been bloody unlucky.

Some crackers there SoG. Great Lloyd Cole choice, from a superb album. Baba O'Riley is a brilliant shout. Proper track.

Did we need to resolve the last pay issue? Did that involve giving more cash? If it's a no to either, you're on a different page to pretty much everyone else. If it's yes to both, what should the government have done differently? I think your point is that they should have dragged it out...have I misunderstood?

Were the doctors underpaid? Yes. Were the strikes damaging? Yes. Did we need to settle? Yes. You're issue seems to be nothing more than you think that we settled a long running issue too soon. That takes us back to Whelk's point that we'd have had ongoing strikes if we didn't settle. You're not making a whole lot of sense on this.

That old chestnut. Someone doesn't have to name players to replace someone to be entitled to the opinion that the player isn't the answer. It's the scouts jobs to find and identify decent players, not the fans.

1. Show pony - runs around looking skillful, but doesn't create. He never gets his head up. He's a frustrating player. Initially he got me on the edge of my seat. That stopped when it became clear that he'd rarely do anything to celebrate. 2. Daft question as the choice isn't Edozie or BBD. The answer is a wide player who does something meaningful with the ball.

Amen to that, and it highlights how stats are largely pointless. Tactics, players around you, etc, all impact to effectiveness of a cross or a player's ability to play a decisive pass. Edozie is a show pony.

Yep. Edozie has had time, here and on loan, to show he's up to it. He hasn't, and he isn't quite imo. His fundamental issue is that he doesn't play with his head up and doesn't seem to have much of a football brain. I'd take decent money for him if it was on offer.

Indeed "I'm so very remorseful of the the thing I now dispute that I did". Yeah, proper remorse that is mate.

Knocks

What a crap swerve. Any chance of an actual answer?

That's the beauty of music mate, our favourites aren't necessarily the best, they're just what we prefer. Afrika Shox from your later list is magnificent. I'd completely forgotten about Leftfield. Open Up is a cracking tune, and that in turn has had me listening to Rise by PIL which is absolutely superb.

Proper music that Farmer. Sabotage was close to my top 10, and nearly always on my gym list. Amazing track. I've done well in a Lymington charity shop. Mine was an original press of Closer by Joy Division. Gave a tenner for it, and with 10 + times that.

I'd love to say it was Blue Monday or something cool, but it was a complete embarrassment...Green Door...Shakin Stevens. FFS.

Not to anyone with a well aligned moral compass.

Great thread, and some cracking choices. Here's some I'm surprised not to have seen yet, although we'll all have left out loads of crackers I suppose. The Chain - Fleetwood Mac Girl you'll be a woman soon - Urge Overkill Walk this way - Run DMC Losing my religion - REM Starman - Bowie You're so vain - Carly Simon She sells sanctuary - Cult Purple Rain - Prince Lose Yourself - Eminem Numb - Linkin Park Enter Sandman - Metallica
