Hearts have an umbro kit that is similar to the old Patrick kit.

I don't understand why Barton is so highly rated. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes, he is garbage. He can't pass the ball, doesn't score, and fouls too much. It doesn't help that he is an absolute c*nt as a bloke either.

Absolute garbage, Downing gives the ball away far more than Milner.

I'm going to invest in pork bellies. I've also had a sneaky peek at the annual crop report and I'm going to corner the market in frozen concentrated orange juice.

Can't see Nigel touching him with a bargepole. Good player, but not a great attitude.

Went there a couple of weeks ago. Best place I've ever been to.

You know nothing about them. F*ck off.

There were plenty of Tories who wanted the Euro, Clarke and Heseltine for a start. There were plenty who didn't, and there were plenty of Labour people who didn't. I can't think of too many anti-Euro Lib Dems.

It is sad that so many non-Brits will be representing us at the Olympics. I don't agree with it in any sport.

The big earners will only go if they can get comparable contracts elsewhere. If Pompey go bust, they'll get their money anyway. I can't see that sort of business being done. If Pompey get liquidated, will Chanrai own the ground?

weirdo

What's the point of Chanrai taking the club over? As far as I can see, most of the parachute payments will be going straight into the pockets of the high earners at the club. The club will only be worth any money if the squad is strengthened, they get a promotion or two, and they are on a firm financial footing. This would surely require Chanrai to have to invest more money. I'm confused.

I thought it was common knowledge that Everton had a cap of about £45k. I can't see it being £75k and I've got a couple of scouse mates who don't think so either. Who knows.

Personally, I don't rate him. Butland is too young and quite expensive. If Craig Gordon is fit, I'd take him on a free.

£80k a week my arse. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-465123/Cahill-Arteta-sign-big-money-deals-stay-Everton.html

He would be taking a risk though. A bad injury without the security of a decent contract would be disastrous for him. If we offer him a decent contract, I can't see him turning it down, in the hope that Everton (who quite rightly have a salary cap) sell enough players to buy him.

You might as well ride it out now. Hold your nerve. No point getting out while the market is bottoming out, not when you have another 20 odd years to invest.

I've never touched the horrible stuff, but I have seen a couple of old mates develop mental problems because of overuse that has really ruined their lives.

You are so right about semi-pros. I was in that game years ago, and a more conceited bunch you couldn't wish to meet. And they weren't that good.

If they go to the wall, I am going to spunk in my underpants.

Did you get much hairy growler?

I'd rather be bald than have to cope with the old Hitler slap it across your head. Stevie Wonder could give you a better hairstyle than the one you currently sport.

Richards didn't want to go on the standby list either.

We need a keeper to challenge Davis and would be ready to immediately play premier league football. That is not the very inexperienced Butland, but could well be Gordon, or even Schmeichel.

Massive bender thread.
