How many more clicks do you get by describing him as "Man Utd target Morgan Schneiderlin" rather than "Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin"?

I think the question is if it is true, why anybody would think it was anybody's fault but the devious Greek politicians and the mindless sheep that elected them. That's the problem with democracy. If you're daft enough to elect a bunch of idiots with no coherent plan then you have to live with the consequences.

It's amazing how often the same stuff gets cut and pasted, but you ought to quote your source. The original is at least a year old, from when there really were 1.33 dollars to the euro

Only if they get away with it

But to be fair, that's not the present issue. It's not about the current Greek debt. As I see it the lenders are being quite open. If you want to borrow more money, these are our terms. If you don't like our terms, go and borrow from somebody else. Same rules your bank would apply if you wanted a loan.

I don't think that's the way it works. AFAIR the only limit is the number of non HG squad members you can register. It's 17 or 18. You don't have to register any homegrown players, but then your squad would be limited to 17 or 18 full-grown players plus the youngsters.

Certainly strengthens DC's negotiating position.

Have they tried a sheep dip?

If we can't have a real live meltdown of our very own this summer, let's regurgitate last year's instead.

To quote that good old American Mark Twain:

No it isn't. If you link all of our decent players with all of the top clubs, the law of averages says that at the end of the day a pretty small percentage will turn out to be correct. But fair play to you for being brave enough to stand up for your fellow journalists.

Nah, the other one (Storrie). Out of sight out of mind, almost.

Is it true that Alex Tsiparis and Yannis Varoufakis have travelled to Portsmouth this weekend seeking advice on the options available to them to repay their debt on Tuesday? Or that Peter Storey has been spotted wandering around Athens with a bookies pencil and a fag packet?

I'm actually thinking about watching the game later. What's wrong with me? Can it be cured?

No thanks. I prefer to form my own opinions. Don't need to recycle some random bloke's off the internet.

But earlier you told us: Pretty quick about-turn.

But the fact that they're not prepared to lift a finger and do an honest day's work in France suggests otherwise.

Not a lot wrong with that quick and dirty summary of the inevitable consequences of a weak government. The debate is when it all started. My own view is that it will take more than a generation to sort out the mess that the Blair/Brown dynasty bequeathed us.

This is a good starting point, worth expanding. Let's leave open the difference between refugees, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants for the time being. The real question is not why, if they are genuine asylum seekers fleeing torture, persecution or death that they didn't request asylum when they were crossing France? It's why they didn't ask for assylum in any one of the other fifteen countries they crossed before they got to France. I've asked before, without any answer, which Syrian port do the current influx of Syrian refugees claiming asylum use to get on the leaky fishing boats to the EU? Bleeding hearts like btf will have you believe that we owe them a living because our great, great, great grandparents exploited somebody that came from the same country as their great, great, great grandparents. The simple answer is that since then several million citizens from former colonies have already become British citizens settled here and making valuable contribution to modern Britain's cosmopolitan culture. I personally have absolutely no problem with that. They also continue to settle here, hundreds of thousands every year, perfectly legally by making the proper applications through the proper channels. The more complex answer is that Henry VIII stole my ancestor's land, so when am I getting it back? I've made the point before and make it again. The vast majority of these people loitering with intent at the channel ports, falling out of the sky in West London and begging for help in fishing boats in the Mediterranean are not genuine asylum seekers. They are just chancers and should be sent packing back to where they came from. They are doing untold harm to the genuine asylum seekers that really, really do need our help and compassion.

Is that a new Belgian lager from Lidl?

Are you sure it's asbestos? They stopped using asbestos in the boards around 40 years ago. But they carried on making the boards without asbestos.

* No disclosure of who is paying for the new pitches this summer * No disclosure of how many season tickets have been sold so far

Yes but on the other hand a significant proportion would go to season tickets and concessions.

I assumed on average we'd sell 3,500 of them over the season, and clear £20 after VAT and direct costs.
