Did SFC not rent his house then??

Was it ever disproved that Franny and leftback are not one and the same, too simple I suppose, a left back with a known motive calling himself leftback and spilling the beans.

Contracts mean very little in football...except when players are absolutely crap or constantly injured.A recent or long term contract just means the club can ask more in the event of a transfer.

I think we still have to register accounts with Companies House though.No doubt these are available for some sort of fee.

Readers Digest got done for this sort of thing a long time ago, they used to send out crap about having won £200 or whatever and then of course you didn't get anything. They sent it to a QC and he kept on and on and on about it until they categorically refused to give him the money. He had them up in Civil and Criminal Courts on fraud and contractual issues. Think they ended up paying a lot of people a lot of money that they had "won". No doubt in your case there's small print hidden somewhere but back then they just didn't bother.There was also the case of Hoover "buy a product and get free flights" Thousands bought a vacuum or something and then the free flights we so restricted that the Consumer Protection Agency got on their case, damn near bankrupted them I think. We bought a vacuum cleaner in Curry's for about £101 and went to San Francisco free, but then we didn't mind travelling at 1 am from Prestwick on a Thursday.

He never said they had to be too large, just that if you put the hind legs into the top of the boots you got a better f*ck. I mean he could well have been bullsh*tting but everyone believed him.

Sheep sh*gging has always gone on. I had a summer job at P*tters once, they had this old mechanic and he used to tell us of his sheep sh*gging days in the Borders during WW2, apparently Welly Boots were de rigueur.

Reminds me of Brit Cal, they got done for discriminatory advertising of job opportunities "Must be able to wear mini-skirt" was a job criteria, their excuse? well we wouldn't want anyone hiding a wooden leg.

you'll get loads of pictures of VW Golfs,the yanks call them Rabbits...or at least they used to.

wasn't Austin a bit of a hot rabbit??(from the French Lapin Chaud....sex maniac)

All very well if what you need is a rabbit I suppose.

At one stage Swindon's manager said that only Blackpool's bid was anywhere near their evaluation, so exactly why they'd accept bids below their price would be difficult to explain. Burnley probably upped their bid after Ipswich were turned down by Austin.It was also said yesterday that Ipswich were the only club having permission to speak to Austin , ie having had their bid accepted.So Kaiser's informant obviously didn't get it quite right but then that's not KS's fault really.

And there was me thinking they were our new shirt sponsor for next season. What a let down.

Charlie Wayman was a Geordie,played most of his career up that way although he did put in a 3 year stint with us back in the late 40s early 50s.Whether our CW is a Gooner I just couldn't say.

you shouldn't need a spell checker to be able to get words like definitely and pedant right.

True but definitely is spelt wrongly 80-100 times every day. it's a simple word, they would not write definate and yet they use definately with ease. For every definitely we get 10 definatelys.

Oh FFS if you want to be taken seriously learn to spell. DEFINITELY LEAKED RECEIVE. Spelling definitely as definately should be infractable, there is no earthly reason for getting it wrong. Sorry rant over but there's far too much of it at the moment.

A few facts on a Friday....way to go.

Hey I did a summer at the MMM between School and Uni, that would have been in about '73 then . I loved it, cleaning the cars in the morning, tour guide in the afty, balling out the punters for leaning into the old Bluebird and a big Gold coloured speedster that I can't rember the name of. Best holiday job I ever had. y

Adidas must be giving us a shedload for the publicity campaign on those shiny orange boots.He's obviously switched from those red and white Nikes he had a couple of weeks back.

Nope they gave me money to go there when I was a pup.The tuition was free and you got a grant of sorts which your parents had to supplement or not according to their status.

If I remember right you went about it in a different way, job first higher education afterwards within the structure of your job, is that right?

1 in 5 in excess of 2 years unemployed, surely that can't be, what do they teach in those jumped up tech colleges nowadays then? I mean if it costs 6000£ a year for 3 years and you can't get a decent job at the end of it then most of those degrees are a waste of time surely. When I was at Uni the employers came round to the faculties and fought amongst themselves to hire graduates.Then again 2% of the populace went to University, the rest did HNDs and City and Guilds.

Once again the old 7 million £ gamble, we more than recovered all of that money with the sales of Kenwyne Jones,Pele and Chris Baird not to mention Gareth Bale.Where we went wrong was in allowing the totally useless Burley to re-spend the money on massive contracts for has beens who did not perform. If you look at the whole Wilde/Crouch execs administration I'm sure that the fees out roughly match the fees in.It was the pay for Idiakiez,John,Euell,Rasiak,Saganowski,Vignal who were totally useless that did for us. How any idiot could pay Vignal 11K a week for what he put in for us is totally beyond all comprehension, but that came from Burley's total lack of managerial ability rather than anything else.

Let me just point this out to you one last time. All the money spent by the Wilde administration was subsequent recovered in player sales and then wasted on old hacks and has beens.
