  1. How is it wrong? In any other sector if you make your employer a big profit on a transaction you may have the right to a bonus, so a football manager making profit at what he does best how is that so different. Bankers get bonuses for exactly the same thing,salemen get bonuses for selling more stuff. There's absolutely no difference, buy em cheap,sell them dear.
  2. especially as Bale doesn't play at left back any more, hasn't done for several years. Can you compare Harding to Assou-Ekotto?? who knows really.
  3. Looks like we may be on L'Equipe TV on Saturday, we always play well when we're on there,think we've been on 5 times so far, W4 and D1.
  4. Right seen the 20 minutes + all angles...woeful defending, please please get a CB in before Saturday. Camera angles may distort it but Reeves goal looks pretty offside to me, or at least Barnard does when the linesman flags him offside.Nothing to complain about...not a valid goal at all. Last but not least same old same old, chances going begging all of the time.
  5. maybe we're going to loan him to someone better than Yeovil.
  6. WTF for? or should that be For what TF
  7. he wriggles out of scrapes because they're so well set up I expect.Wouldn't surprise me if they set this one up with the intention of being "caught" and somewhere there's the real deal completely hidden from view .Still can't believe that HMRC went to trial with such a flimsy case,perhaps they thought there was more to find as well. I'd better watch out, they'll be after me soon for the 10K loan that I got from my Gran and never paid back.
  8. Falque is about Puncheon, we obviously didn't count on some foolish manager or other not giving us a million £ for him.In fact we talked ourselves into a corner over Puncheon, not going out on loan again,only for sale etc etc. Then he had us over a barrel on restriction of trade and we had to climb down.Not that we're the losers mind you.
  9. you have to have some defensive minded players at your disposal. We have signed too many attacking players and now we don't know what to do with them all,so afternoon off for the reserves again I guess.Probably why NA was so hacked off about losing in the cup,we have 23 or 24 players and only 16 are of much use to us at any one time.Reeves might even get the nod ahead of Chaplow on the bench as well.Time for some loan outs.Now if we'd had a defensive MF on the bench last night to come on at 2-1 and shut the game down by being boring and passing the ball back and sideways we might be a damn sight better off today.
  10. Yes we've got 2, both Invicta, both develop about 10KW. We've got some woodland as well so between dead trees and compact logs that I buy at the local forestry co-operative it works out quite well. Fitted them myself but by using existing chimneys and just running down the necessary stainless steel tubing (which costs quite a bit) Great things to have but unless you've got a free supply of about half the wood I wouldn't know that they cost any less to run than Gas Fired CH (but then I don't know anything about gas prices in the UK). We use them in conjunction with Ceramic Electric Storage radiators and it's an OK solution. £500 looks a bit cheap for a "decent model" though. Think we paid over 1000 euros each for both of ours.

    Anyone else get the impression that NA was pretty miffed that we didn't sign Josh Wright? Surely we could have if we'd wanted to.
  12. Like the Scots wll be in it......................Probably won't even show it on Scots TV,there must be barrel throwing or log chopping that they're better at to fill prime TV time.
  13. Thing is we don't know who's fit, who isn't and who's only half fit most of the time. I mean look at De Ridder last night, seems to me that he broke down with the same hamstring problem that's been plaguing him for a while now,was asking to be subbed long before it actually happened apparently. Then there was what I can only believe was stuborness over Chaplow,surely 30 at the end for him would have given Reeves a far more beneficial airing if he had the type of game which many seem to think he did. I had the impression from Sunday onwards when NA started saying Chaplow and Lee would start that he didn't much care whether we won or not.If we'd really wanted to win the starting side last night would have been different because we would have played with at least one of the2 main ball recoverers who can actually play a defensive role.
  14. We'll never find out probably,we don't have the type of match needed to give him any playing time and we have far too many of our own players to fill the bench.Pity really but our system won't suit him anyway.Probably needs a 4-3-3 same as Tottenham. Don't know why we don't use it really, we have all the elements needed.
  15. You'll regret that....
  16. Not the same though is it. This is about unpaid taxes and contributions, don't think there's any dispute about the validity of them. The Harry and Milan case was about tax evasion that they just couldn't prove.If the case had been brought in Scotland they may have obtained a "Not Proven" verdict which is not the same as not guilty.No Evidence=Reasonable Doubt=Not Guilty according to the English system.

  18. So would I, this is our first XI and right now that's all that counts.Good to see Nigel protecting the engine room last night even if he knew we'd probably lose without them.First time we'll have played what I consider as a first team since what Bristol away and even then it didn't last long. Pompey away wasn't bad,nearly all there but most of the other games we've always been without either Jos, Rickie,José or Adam and it shows.
  19. Because the HMRC case just didn't exist.Mr A gives Mr B money in a Monaco bank account so it must be taxable no matter what it's for. They'd make more money if they started trying to tax prostitutes on their earnings.Mr A gives Ms C money in cash so it must be because he fancies her and wants her to buy herself a diamond necklace....yeah right.
  20. Well yes but in olden days they wrote anything about anyone.Having some factual foundation just didn't come into it. Never forget their vendetta with W H Smith (who didn't sell PE at the time).Incited readers to go down to their local branch of WHS at busy times and ask for stacks of rare magazines that didn't sell all that well.After making the assistant find about 10 or 15 such publications ask for Private Eye,when informed that WHS did not carry that review client refused all the others because of it.Not a good time to work for WHS cos a lot of PE readers did exactly that.
  21. depends if Jos is back or not. With Jos...3-0 or 3-1 without Jos...who knows,I can see J Rod and Austin being too good for Martin.Not a fan really,wish we'd got someone in in the window, right at the start cos Jose was absent then.I went to Gillingham a couple of seasons back and still can't get that woeful Martin/Fonte spectacle out of my head.Jose was moaning all afternoon about being on ther wrong side and Martin was just well woeful.I think Martin and Jos works better than Martin and Jose actually.
  22. looked it up, about 39000£ for Harry and £15000 for Milan according to the CPS. not worth a 2 week trial. Should have just offered them the chance to pay and shut the feck up.

    Second winds don't usually apply in marathons, it's the analogy that I'm questioning not our case specifically.As Yones Ondieki said, I don't sprint, I'm a distance runner.
  24. but he's right, this was about 20K in tax. In France they wouldn't even bother with courts for that sort of sum, just issue a belated taxation notice and take it out of your bank account and let you prove they were wrong to do so if you could. They had a voluntary purge on offshore accounts here last year, they presented you with their case,gave you a month or so to think about it and then let you pay with no questions asked,no penalties ,no nothing. Netted them 6 billion euros and not one court case to get it.
