Saint Martini

Where did I say that we couldn't have kept one of our decent strikers? I only think that perhaps John was the one we chose to keep after which JP lost faith in him. If we had gone with Saga from the start and loaned out John at the start I'm sure we could have done without players such as Pekhart and Robertson.

Just a wild guess. 1. Perhaps JP didn't want him afterall and since we ditched him we can afford to keep Saga the second half of the season. 2. All the loans & small transfers were possible because they cost significantly less then those big earners. 3. This has always baffled me, maybe we splashed out on one player we thought could be quality (although I think he only costs 500.000 + salary this year). 4. JP was on **** all in the Netherlands and was probably quite cheap here as well. When we took Wotte to replace him we didn't sign new staff so no extra costs. Gorre is hardly going to be expensive and the other Dutch bloke is not on our payroll although he might be paid somerthing for consulting or something similar.

The first comment was stupid and misinformed but I don't think the second was that shocking. In the protest their are banners against him, what is he supposed to say? Is he supposed to be supportive of those that want him out? In the end all he asked for was support in the stadium, something he did get so maybe his comments worked?

I have to go to a hockey match every time we play now. Great result, maybe we do have the quality to survive in the end.

Does Navyred still post? He used to go to reserve/youth games didn't he?

FFS did they hire ITV for the camerawork?!

Ambrosini is going off in the next ten minutes. Not sure if it will be a sub or a red card though.

Inter in total control after the first goal. I don't really see a way back into the match for Milan or they need two moments of individual brilliance from Ronaldinho, Beckham, Pato, or Seedorf. Come to think of it, that might actually happen.

Apparently Capello says: Mr. Rooney. Do you think its Ms. or Mrs. Terry?

Yes, he is complete knob and yes his views are likely to cause grief among muslims and the UK could probably do without it but no government should intervene in such a manner. Its sets a precedent and gets you on a very slippery slope. If British politicians dissagree then debate the guy or rebuff his standpoints in other manners then sillencing him. Besides, this way he's getting more press coverage then he would have gotten otherwise.

Is this better then? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading_article/article5712187.ece And besides, the Dutch paper doesn't defend him, it defends free speech.

I suggest you read the edditorial on the same website. http://www.nrc.nl/international/Opinion/article2149476.ece/Wilders_right_to_speak

Geert Wilders refused entry to the UK The guy's a complete idiot (IMHO) but he isn't so radical he should be refused entry to the UK? Talking about PC gone mad....

Making Taco's. I'll probably eat them later.

Finished my reading, gonna have some lunch now.

Maybe we should reserve judgement even after the Echo has the story online. The chances of them sticking to the facts are pretty slim.

Could it be that this fan started the physical assault but ended up being the one hurt? Just a thought.

Back in bed reading articles for a uni assignment.

I'm just about to get out of bed.

I do not understand this activity. I'm eating grapes.

Going to play NHL now.

On the bright side, if this deal is going to happen Doncaster will lose Mills.

That Van der Vliet kid is from Jersey, probably has Dutch ancestors though. http://www.thisisjersey.com/2009/01/20/euan-11-signs-for-southampton/
