very good.

But it's already been bought by the ice-cream man!

I absolutely agree and was going to post something similar to Ash's post. Those guys look so stupid. They're just kids acting the way kids in a playground do. "Come on then!", whilst backing away. Sad people. Bunch of Bizzles, the lot of them. Oh and Ash.... :lol:

The fact that they increase accross the board every year for about the last 1,000,000 makes a mockery of the whole system. Congratulations to all who achieved the reuslts they wanted though - you can only beat the team put in front of you!

Absolutely right. It does my head in when people claim the lower leagues are "more physical". There might be a bit more running around after the ball because the players aren't as good as keeping it but the notion that you need to be "harder" or prepared to indulge in thuggery is pure hokum. Let's have a look at the team tipped by many to win the Premier League this year: Carvallho Terry Alex Bosingwa Mikel Essien Ballack Drogba To people honestly believe they are "less physical" than the players in League One? The fact is that Schneiderlin may well discover some form if he leaves us, or he may not. He clearly has some raw talent, however his product for us has been largely disappointing and that has nothing whatsoever to do with what League we're in. It might be down to management, dispondency, lack of application, inability to perform in matches, being surrounded by poor players... whatever, but it's certainly not down to the superhuman physical prowess of lower league football teams.

No doubt Wenger is just putting the finishing touches to Arsenal's bid.

Yes, you could under the law (subject to it having been not of satisfactory quality or not fit for purpose when sold and being an item that should reasonably be expected to last for 18 months, in this case). The problem is that after six months the burden is on you to show that was the case. Your claim in relation to the faulty goods is a claim based on the breach, by the retailer, of contract terms implied under the Sale of Goods Act. The limitation period in law for a claim for breach of contract is 6 years. The maufacturer has nothing to do with your relationship with the retailer. If they have provided a guarantee though, they are effectively offering to step into the retailer's shoes. Manufacturer's guarantees do not usually offer you any protection that the law doesn't already give you, they just give you certainty by providing a defined way of dealing with the problems and stop you having to deal with some useless oik in a shop. But whether a guarantee is given or not, you always have recourse against the retailer (subject to the facts).

Small away following, clearly hardly any tickets sold, dodgy new owner (perhaps).... probably about 15k? If Maradonna signs on the pitch though that could rise to 16k.

No, obviously not (unless you're "Doctor" Al Fahim) but you might announce the purchase price or what has happened to the debt. If it was merely a transfer of liabilities to a chancer hoping to scrape survival for a couple of years and sneak dubious funds in the back door, if they can be found, you probably wouldn't. Do you honestly think you have a pot to **** in? Do you feel comfortable being owned (if indeed you now are) by someone who lies about being a Doctor and a UN Goodwill Ambassador? You will sell Distin. You will get a worse replacement, if any. You will go down. You will go into admin and the "Dr" "Goodwill ambassador" will disappear pretty sharpish after losing his £1 investment.

I think signing Jaidi may indirectly give us more options at right back. Anyone agree?

For fun. Rather injudicious use of "perceived" there, by the way.

Nope, that's complete rubbish! Your contract is with the seller and in fact you could bring a claim at any point within six years from the purchase (although you may have some evidential difficulties). Chrisobee - it might be worth mentioning that you intend to issue proceedings in the Small Claims Court if this isn't resolved within two weeks. I have worked in companies in the past where the mention of legal proceedings in customer complaint letters ensures that the letter is passed before a member of the in-house legal team, rather than customer services. If the compaint is genuine then this usually results in the lawyer seeing how ****e and ill-informed customer services are and in you getting your problem sorted.

Cheers Vince, that should make it easier to find on the podcast.

Today on Simon Mayo's show, 13:00-16:00. Not sure when precisely but should hopefully be interesting. I think they will be talking about his autobiography, career etc. 693 and 909 MW. I am going out so if someone would like to take a detailed note and transcribe it on here that would be wonderful! (Or I can just download the podcast later)

Whereas you think we signed him to honour an agreement, made by a person no longer in control at Saints at the time, with a person with no connection to the club other than that he was a potential managerial candidate at some point in the past? Bizarre. Coincidentally, the player signed was young-ish and cheap and at the time we had a policy of filling the team with young and cheap players. We were also selling a player to the club of Mr Pulis so had the option to take a cheap punt on this box-ticking young lad. Well, frankly one does sound like bull**** and one doesn't. Maybe Torres could have been a bit more friendly with the way he posted it but this is a football messageboard FFS. If you are going to post nudge-nudge wink-wink Machiavellian conspiracy posts that fly in the face of a much more logical explanation and are not prepared to back up the said theory on the same public forum then expect, quite justifiably, to have the finger of bull**** waved in your face.

Absolutely, ****ing, PMSL.

Better to have a "me first" culture and be open about it - that way everyone knows where they stand. Also - what's wrong with a "me first" culture? Within the boundaries of the law, surely that rewards enterprise and ability? Give me a meritocracy over some sort of perverse egalitarianism any day. Some people are ignorant, stupid, and incapable of interacting with others. They deserve to live in **** holes. Some people are unlucky and victims of circumstance. Some people are lucky and privileged. That's what happens when there are billions of people. Get over it. Most people are reasonable and will help others rather than tread on them.

That would be the same Baird who played against Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend? Yeah, realistic IMO.

Mangina?

What are the trousers like? You can't deny that psychology is important though, even in mini-golf.

St Will, next time you see Kadeem Harderington at a match I really think you should take a photo and then disseminate it to all local youth clubs and golf clubs as this man shouldn't be allowed to pray on novice golfers who know no better than to hand their hard-earned to him for some of his motivational "mind bullets".

Well that just shows that whoever judged those is either a numpty or wasn't actually watching the match. He was ok. Not bad, not great. Should hopefully get better as he settles in. If anyone thinks he had a better game than Harding, Trotman or Perry then i seriously wonder what they were looking for.

Absolutely. It was an excellent debut. He did miss what looked like an absolute sitter though!

Funny thread. OP - next time take a photo.
