He ran like a kind of water-balloon.

That made me laugh/shake my head/die a bit inside too.

Alors, plus un.

Not convinced. There could be some post-Cold War tension in the camp then. Best off just forgetting about the USA for the reasons given in Jawillwill's post earlier IMO.

How pathetic.

On the face of it 22 sounds like few. I suppose I have been conditioned by the recent years of Burley and the Revolutionary New Coaching Setup so to me a squad of 50 sounds a bit thin.

Yes, that's the one! Perhaps more significant than the 8 homegrown players is the limit in squad size.. So you can only have 25 players eligible to play a part in the league season? That will surely leave a few noses out of joint at some of the bigger clubs.

I think the Prem teams have to comply with the "homegrown" rule next year don't they? They have to have a certain number of players who were signed to a professional team in England for a certain period prior to a certain age. As you can see, I am well au fait with the details of this one.

Hmm... I dunno. I wonder if anyone could tell us about some useful USandA players?

I suppose he might but he always struck me as someone who is pretty ambitious. He is well fit and could easily play for another five years. If ****flaps offers him a free I can't see him turning down Champs League footy.

Our right backs haven't looked poor, apart from James in a couple of games.

Exactly! Not sure why everyone's getting so uptight. AA is just doing his usual trick of putting ******** in the public domain. James will join a Prem team. Rocha will bog off. Kanu and Hreidarrson may stay if no one else wants them (possible IMO). The alternative is to retire. Those two are not going to get you out of the division though. If you look a bit further down the press release you have a better idea of the players who will be featuring.

Beevers. lol

Benjani.

It looked like he had written it after he had put it on.

Why would we be looking at "silly money" to sign a RB from Brighton that has previously been rejected by a number of clubs and, as far as I'm aware has done nothing much at a higher level. We would only be looking at "silly money" if someone else is prepared to offer him "silly money".

The EU rule offers no greater protection than you are already afforded by UK law. You would still have the same issues around the cause of the fault.

Ok: a television should be expected to last a good few years. According to Ponty, guidance suggests six years. Trust Ponty if you will. I've highlighted below in bold good things to quote that should make it sound as though you know what you're talking about. Anyway, legally you have a claim against them for breach of contract if the telly they sold you has an inherent fault. There is an implied term in all consumer contracts, implied by the Sale of Goods Act, that the goods sold are of suitable quality (ie, last for a reasonable time), fit for purpose and conform to the decription given. A TV which breaks regularly is clearly not of sufficient quality or fit for purpose. In the first six months after a purchase the burden of proof is reversed: ie. if the retailer gets shirty, it is up to them to show that the item is not inherently faulty; you don't have to show that it was faulty when sold. It is presumed to have been faulty when sold unless they can show otherwise. The bad news: after six months the onus is on you to show it was faulty when purchased (which would obviously be hard to do). If they try to hide behind the term of the guarantee you can tell them in no uncertain terms that they are wrong, and that the guarantee cannot limit your statutory rights and you should ask to speak to someone more senior. I would keep repeating phrases like "faulty when sold", "not of adequate quality", "not fit for purpose" etc. The final threat is to inform them that you have a clear claim for breach of contract and you will issue a claim in the small claims court. They will not be able to recover their costs in defending the claim and you are fully prepared to pay the £35 issue fee. The reality is, you should be able to get somewhere without having to start threatening too much.

I like this thread. It is original and sort of funny. Much better than the usual ****e. Well done Cestrian.

Yeah, what a mercenary grabbing arse. How dare he assess all his options when he should be signing for us yesterday. I bet he doesn't give 100%. Probably a bottle merchant. Look at his hair FFS. Obvioulsy likes a night out too. What a ****. If we sign him I will boo like a berserker.

That vest was class.

Can't see that. Brighton are a bigger club and have a much brighter future.

What a load of carp. Why the feck people pay subscriptions to these witless children is beyond me.
