In the meantime, let's bury the thread in one of the pointless sub- forums.

Three consecutive six-pointers for them at the end of April. They could easily go down.

No, I think there's something up with this place at the moment. I get redirected to Google Play Store and get a few other pop ups on my HTC.

I'd be more engaged by some sort of public spectacle designed to highlight and shame the ****s involved in this sort of ongoing (NOW) thing to be honest, http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5009105, rather than have some arbitrary enforced faux-solemnity. Footy crowds love a commemoration - witness the roaring finale. -
Lol. ITK as always.

Shaw's a beast for an 18 year old. I'm not a bumder but if I was I would be drawn to our team. It's nice to have a good looking team.

Haha - yes!

Utterly risible response from Milliband so far.

I am flabbergasted. By any objective measure, Qatar is the obvious choice. Mr Warner also has an unimpeachable track-record. I hope FIFA rigorously pursues whoever is responsible for these terrible slurs. Some other scumbags were spreading vicious rumours about hundreds of deaths amongst the sla... workers involved in the construction projects recently too. Suggesting they are viewed as nothing but irrelevant foreign subordinates and treated appallingly. Nonsense! Long Live World Cup Qatar! Long Live FIFA!

Interestingly a transcript has recently been published of a case in the Bristol County Court where Parking Eye took someone to court. As far as I know it's very rare that these companies ever bother doing that but it seems as though this one does. Anyway, the judge rips them a new one and awards 45 quid to cover the defendant's husband taking a half day off work to babysit during the hearing plus mileage and parking costs for attending court to the defendant. The transcript is actually quite funny as the judge is a little whacky and clearly thinks the whole thing is a little contemptible. If anyone is interested in reading the transcript it's here: http://nebula.wsimg.com/53e672581a806f6f5ae78602683bcbcf?AccessKeyId=4CB8F2392A09CF228A46&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

Chelsea by far. Take Suarez out of Liverpool and they're no better than us.

Rodriguez did well, both in the central role and when he moved deeper in the second half. Lambert was really good when he came on. I wish we used him off the bench more often as he can make a greater impact that way. Clyne was excellent too. There's no way Walker or Johnson are better than him. Shame Roy has ignored him. It was almost too easy in the first quarter of an hour and we coasted through the rest of the first half to be honest. Shaw was a little sloppy with the ball going forwards (excellent in the second half though) and we didn't get the ball to Adam or Gaston in enough dangerous positions. Boruc looked like he had a hangover or something but thankfully Norwich were so poor it didn't matter.
-
I'd drop Davis back alongside Morgan and give Gaston a start in their hole. We have the luxury of no pressure so let's try something a bit flarey.

Typically, the role of CEO and Chairman are distinct. Cortese was atypical in the sense of being an executive chairman. I think Krueger has been installed as chairman as he seems to possess a good mix of strategic nous and an understanding of how to face the public. I'm sure someone will retain responsibility for the more technical aspects of corporate management. Whether that's Rogers on a permanent basis or a new appointment remains to be seen. I suspect it will be a mixture of Rogers and the Hotstepper. I wouldn't get hung up on the parent co / football co distinction. The parent co has no other interests so it's just a cosmetic thing really.

Brilliant.
-
I see they managed three times as many yellow cards as shots on target. And second bottom Northampton get an away win
-
If "organised" terrorism was involved then typically wouldn't someone have claimed responsibility for this by now?

Post Match Reaction: Crystal Palace 0-1 SAINTS

Because in most matches he is easily our worst player now. -
Should have had penalties in away matches against Norwich, Stoke and Everton as well.

Global warming really is happening... (well, duh!)

John Terry has small erection. Lol -
Just finished watching an episode of Storyville, a documentary series on BBC 4, that looks at the South Sudan national football team. As you might imagine for the world's youngest country, born of a brief hiatus in regional warfare and 98% reliant on oil exports to its uneasy divorcee in the north, it's all a far cry from the world inhabited by Rooney and other such gormless, perfumed ponces. Anyway, it's about more than football and it's certainly not just Cool Runnings on grass /dust. From the mad Serbian coach, the striker with over fifty siblings, the vice President with the huge gold watch, the spectre of malaria and the struggle for basic infrastructure it's well worth a watch. Highly recommended.

BBC 4 certainly has the best documentaries on UK TV. Excluding sports coverage, the Channels I watch the most are probably Sky Atlantic, BBC 4 and Channel 4, with a fair smattering of BBC 2. The Light Channel and BBC 3 are simply ghastly.
