  1. Have they been unsuccessful in the ballots then??
  2. Wouldn't think he'll be an automatic choice next season at all,whether we're in the premier league or the Championship. Seems to be spilling a lot of balls of late.Decent strikers will capitalise on them for sure. Wouldn't Connolly be our most experienced player in terms of number of Premier League games, don't know the exact number of PL games played though,we have 6 players with English top flight experience,7 if you count Jaidi,and another 4 with top flight experience in other Leagues.
  3. don't forget to have a scrub down with bleach afterwards though.
  4. Well seeing as you're not going to be allowed to get within striking distance of any Pompey fan I'd say do whatever you please.Is this not the point of the bubble? you go on the bus, you pass into a sanitised section of the ground and then you get back on the bus,doubt if you'll be able to use the same bars as the Pompey fans or the same bogs or the same anything, otherwise the Bubble is totally redundant.
  5. All men obviously have their price.
  6. As referred to in Die Hard 4,liked that film with BW taking the p*ss out of all the geeks.
  7. If his coaching was anything like the crap he spouts on matchdays then DM must be right up there.
  8. what about him?
  9. And throw away the key this time.
  10. Do you not know that any negative comments about Lallana on this forum are strictly prohibited and you could get sent to Mongolia for even hinting at an even temporary loss of godlike status?? To me Lallana is a big part of the problem, I wouldn't even be surprised if someone was to whisper in my ear that he was chusing where he wants to play and who he wants around him. I've looked at the EHs again and note that on the Morgan attempt SDR was at least 15 yards behind the play and puffing like a turkey to catch up,seems not to read the game very well,no doubt that's what NA and the coaches are currently working on.
  11. Well we do actually,we have Forte,Hoskins and Doble but as they aren't used by the manager at all I suppose we must all surmise that they aren't good enough or not yet.Barnard is effectively in the "reserves" cos he's a bench case but what he's going to bring to our campaign is yet to be seen.Nigh on 8 months does seem a long time for an ankle sprain.
  12. so the question remains where was De Ridder cos he didn't seem to be out on the right either.I noticed that on 2 occasions Lallana (on the right of centre MF if you see what I mean) had wide right options open to him,Schneiderlin once, De Ridder once, he refused the option both times and tried to run the ball into a packed area so what's the point of "width" if you don't use it.
  13. Staff costs, they're assimilated civil servants in those places. In our nearest EHPAD there are 77 staff for 108 residents (I know this because it was in the local rag). Result of applied Mitterandism. We shall be paying for that man's whims for generations,a meglomaniac who needed communists to put him into power.NB Not all of the Grannies need care either,they've just been dumped there by the families. I read an article the other day that more and more French people are refusing inheritance,thus absolving themselves from all debts of their elders.You can use the EHPAD to look after an ageing relative and then refuse any debt incurred.
  14. This is not about taxation,it's about social security contributions. Tax comes afterwards. You have grannies who've never paid a franc in contributions in their lives living in assisted living facilities "au frais de la Princesse" at 1200 euros a month. My late mother in law used to have 3 weeks "cure" paid for by the Secu every year.Unemployment is indexed to what you earnt and for how long.For example if you were on 30K a year before losing you job for economic reasons you carry on getting about 18000 a year for 3 years (or more depending on your age) afterwards,not counting your retirement benefit and health insurance which are maintained at the same level. It's just robbing from Peter to pay Paul.
  15. True, all those tax dodgers aren't going to suddenly become honest citizens.They won't accept austerity either.
  16. cutting it a bit fine aren't they??
  17. The Greeks?? don't count on it. They won't leave unless they're kicked out, which is probably what should happen, pay off their debts and kick them out as a warning to all the others.
  18. Greece,Ireland,Portugal,Spain they're all net receivers from the EEC and they certainly wouldn't want that jeopardised by not being able to join the Euro. Can't remember the figure that someone in the economy section of the comission quoted me the other day when I was trying to get some project funding but it was staggering just how much per capita the Greeks shaft the EEC for each year.Big Big money anyway.
  19. Everybody fiddled the figures to meet the adhesion conditions of the Euro, one off privatisations,forecast spending not counted,growth overestimated etc etc. It's just that some fiddled more than others or met the conditions approximatively because of a one off event. As A European resident I can tell you exactly why economies are going down the pan in domino fashion,it's because most insist on giving stacks of money to people who do nothing or have contributed nothing.Do you know that for an employer in France every euro that he pays to an employée leads to giving 50 centimes to the government so that they can hand it out to scroungers? For 10 euros earned, the employée gives 3 to the government (or various arms of it) and the employers gives another 5? So the effective minimum wage is about 13.50 euros/hour and that's before income tax or company tax. Employing people just isn't on.
  20. Well considering what I've just heard on the subject I don't doubt that you're right. Word of warning in general, apparently you need to take the e-mail,well a print of it anyway, to the TO when you are summoned for your bus tickets.
  21. just don't get it do you.The OB have probably imposed restrictions on the club regarding ticket sales.It's not a question of who wants to go but who the OB allow to go.
  22. it's not odd at all. With a ST holder with 12 home games still to be played that he's already paid for, he (or she) is going to think twice about being a knob and getting banned isn't he.
  23. thought as much, in fact if you read the small print all you have the right to do most of the time is sit still and watch the game.
  24. In modern day sanitised football who knows.I'd think the OB well capable of demanding such guarantees yes.
  25. same seat has to be empty every time doesn't it??
