  1. not really no, it's a specialised role for players who can tackle, don't mind a bit of rough and tumble and who can win the ball in the air, Davis doesn't play well there which is why Mauricio tries to shoe in JWP. When Cork went off on Sunday we had JWP and Davis at DM and it was a shambles which led to Everton just strolling through to score..again.
  2. sometimes necessity is the mother of invention you know.
  3. well I'd be counting the days on that then. Torres is still an amazing player but not so much as a point striker, works excellently out wide and creates plenty for the MFs following in behind him..
  4. in a totally different role which he shouldn't have been given in the first place, he's not got the qualities of a DM but we didn't have any choice with 2 of our 3 DMs out for that game. The real solution might have been Clyne at LB and Shaw at DML but perhaps Clyne wasn't up to 90 minutes.
  5. sounds too good to be true really so no comment.
  6. Probaly means that all the respectable candidates who can afford a flight are already there and what's left to come will be arriving in overloaded Trabants and Polski Fiats.
  7. Not if i see her walking along an abandoned country lane when out driving my monster 4WD she won't.
  8. well it's not exactly Dead Sea Scroll code is it, qualified teacher status would seem to fit the bill here.
  9. as long as they are self sufficient I suppose, UK retirees don't look for work in Spain and you can only assume that they contribute to the economy, I just can't see how a Roumanian jobseeker can be compared with a person who needs no job and contributes income from another member state.
  10. Remind me what I said about Sissoko then if you please, did i say that he was a talentless tart as well. I am rarely wrong you know.
  11. but in the higher order of things you don't count.
  12. wouldn't be the worst thing to happen this century though would it. Talentless tart.
  13. But I have a fairly near neighbour, an emeritus professor from Cambridge, he gets his pension from the UK and his royalties from the Oxford press or whatever and spends them at the local market and such like, he pays his taxes here so why would the French not want him here even if they could do that? It's UK money being poured into France and believe me we need it just now. Now if they could chuck a few Algerian gangsters out of Marseille I'm sure they'd be motivated for that.
  14. He's a great keeper, if you pass over the Arsenal fudge up (I don't count the other one,could have happened to any keeper in those conditions and so early on in the game, I blame JWP for losing the fudger in the first place) he's been brilliant, great saves on his line and cuts out a lot of dangerous stuff off it. I'm sure we wouldn't have lost at Chelsea or against Villa if he hadn't hurt his hand.
  15. perhaps in the UK, so best of luck with that but here in France it's now official. The percentage of immigrants (mostly from SE Europe) involved in robberies has increased by 10% in about 4 years. Article in French, run it through a translator if you're interested. As long as you have legal and qualified immigration it won't make any difference, when you're flooded with Roumanians,Georgians (won't be your case) and Bulgarians hanging about on the corner of every road where there's a set of traffic lights begging and try to wash your windscreen with a filthy bit of rag then you may have to watch out. I'm hoping that some of ours start heading for the UK because we could do with a bit of a break. http://delinquance.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/12/16/la-part-des-etrangers-mis-en-cause-pour-vols-a-fortement-augmente-depuis-2008/
  16. Clyne is fast and robust, by far the better of our 2 regular full backs at this stage in theire respective careers, but he's not an academy lad and doesn't get the same hype.
  17. Shaw never shuts the angle off, it's his biggest fault,anyway back to JWP, he's probably gotten too used to lefties playing on the right and invariably cutting inside so that when he comes up against a righty on the right (who'd believe it in modern day football) then he still expected him to go inside. Anyway JWP is too small, too slow and too inexperienced to be playing in the role he's given whenver Morgan is out, he's not up to it and it needs to be remedied. We haven't won a game without Morgan in the side although that may apply to other players as well.
  18. So anyway, some bright spark is now trying to suggest that this gesture is inspired by Peter Sellers in the 60s film Dr Strangelove where he wrestles with his right arm to stop it making Hitlerian salutes, Dieudonné says it isn't but then who wants to believe a bloke who thought that Osama was one of the great guys of our time.
  19. At one time (and I'm talking late 60s early 70s here) it did require a bit of advance preparation if only for the jabs and the bail bond you needed in addition to the special green card car insurance (if you took your car). It was a fun place though until Mitchener wrote The Drifters and Torremolinos and places like it were flooded with yuppies.
  20. not to mention the cholera and yellow fever injections once imposed upon us by the Spanish and believe me those fudgers hurt a fair bit.
  21. Except that the Brits leaving for Spain probably have some form of subsistence and I'd not be sure that would be true of Roumanians coming to Britain. Anyway unless EEC law has changed in the recent past you can still be kicked out of any EEC state if you don't have the means to stay there and you become a burden upon that state.
  22. Why would Spain want to limit UK immigration, UK pensions being spent there must bolster their economy somewhat. As the old are residents but not working citizens I don't know how that would pan out for healthcare. In France you don't get full rights unless you've contributed via your working career although there are schemes for those outside the normal system. You'd be hard pushed to find a dentist to take you on one of those schemes though and most people need some sort of "complimentary mutuelle" in any case.
  23. I'm not sure that either of them manufacture things that anyone wants. Anyway isn't there some sort of Free Trade area for those who aren't in the EEC but are linked to it? So EEC and EFTA are one and the same thing for trade reasons although there may be EFTA quotas, I'm not an expert on that. I can tell you though that the Roms (mostly Bulgarians in our case I think) are already a pain in the butt in France so I'm not sure how much worse it can get. Train breaks down in the middle of nowhere..why? either some Roms have succeeded in nicking the copper cables or electrocuted themselves in the attempt.
  24. I did not, lived in the same village for a while though, I mean at different times of course and you had to be a bit au fait to explain stuff quickly to the grockels so that they'd pisces off out of our local pub. If you sent them off to Bull Barrow or Edgdon Heath (anywhere you liked doesn't actually exist per se) they'd leave you in peace for a while. Incredible was the number of Yank researchers and students that came to Sturminster Newton.
  25. In fact I'm sure one of the popular sundays ran a 4 or 5 week tutorial on Body Language a good few years back. It was a bloody nuisance, everybody watched everybody in pubs and workplaces and then came out with crap like "I can tell from your BL that you're tupping your PA on overseas trips". Everyone was a fudging expert.
