Personally I'd rather have Craig Mackail Smith but then what do I know.I am not particularly concerned about next season or the one after because it's a pound to a radish that AOC won't still be here anyway. I'd rather have a lighting fast,man shrugging off striker who's scored a shedload now than a wonder boy who's just using us as a stepping stone...but there you go, I have strange opinions about many things.

Rupert wasn't with the club when we bought BWP surely, it was at the outset of the Wilde era if I remember it correctly.

Wife's slimming pills again, what a lame excuse when will they ever learn. Drugged meat, mother in law's cold remedy,nutritional supplements etc etc etc. Athletes and sports people are given lists of "specified substances" there is no ambiguity,if you're not sure don't take it, get it analysed first, if the Doc gives you some medecine show him the list and ask for an AUT if necessary. They all think the public are ignorant mugs and they can bullsh*t their way out of anything. Doesn't work he'll get 3/6 months.Should be a life ban.

Football not more important than a fat,dead,beer swilling,pork scratching scoffing tourist in Dubai...you're having a laugh Phil surely,either that or an early start on the Bullfrogs and Chardonnay, people die,it's a fact but there will always be football.I'm serious there by the way, people should live correctly and not do stupid things that's the end of it.

I haven't really worked out yet exactly what she's trying to say but she might as well leave off Israel, the guard dog of the west as it's known in military circles,nothing will ever change there.

Some of us find time to look at the internet whilst working...get a job at the European Commission..still teaching? half term finished?

But they did give it to Ferguson and Mackail-Smith at 10 this morning.

That will depend on the status of Guly and Ox though won't it,whether Ox will be fit to start or not..

Messi + a lot of cash surely. He's a superstar don'tcha know.

Surely it must be and probably extremely popular as well. In most countries you have 3 or 4 seasons of Charlie,Alan and Jake running on different Channels most of the time, about the same as Friends usually,assuming you have Satellite TV with 70 or 80 odd channels of course.

They might let us have their old bus on the cheap when they get a new one,wheels are looking a bit wobbly on ours..

And makes a fortune out of portraying a little changed version of it on TV

£22 light bulbs and £55 toilet sets usually indicate "opaque" funding.

It could well be so, Pat has a boy who's a keeper, I'm not sure that it's not the lad who's at Wycombe now (that's just me just putting 2+2 together and maybe coming up with 6.894) seems to be about the right age and his Grays/Norwich/Eastleigh pedigree would seem about right. We know he lives in East Anglia so why not next door to Joe Lewis.

I've a DVD of the Utd game, I'll have a look at it sometime and see how playing him on the left pans out.Lallana is a left footer though isn't he?

Pat in his Ugly posts seems to think that we didn't sign CMS from Posh because we didn't offer enough and we wanted 2 players from them and would only deal for the pair.Posh only wanted to sell us one.Now I would assume that the other one was Joe Lewis which would mean that the replacement of Kelvin was imminent at that time.How that would affect his form is difficult to surmise.

But it's an interesting idea that he would have gone to Newcastle anyway.As it stands I presume he got some sort of pay-off from us and then a bumper contract from his friend Ashley.Whether you could then surmise that he engineered his own downfall with the Newcastle job already as good as in hand is debatable.Wonder just how much we had to pay him in settlement.I see that the O'Neil affair has now gone to the PMA tribunal,probably why we couldn't sign him then.

I think the reply was kind of sarcastic. Anyway at Barca he'd be played on the left, have we tried that with him as yet?

Spot on Ferguson and Mackail-Smith it is and rightly so.Craig Mackail Smith is the best player in this division a real robot,missed very very few games and has scored 24 goals in all with ZERO penalties and very few free kicks.

Not really worried, I just can't see us not getting second really,unless we lose either to Bournemouth or we have to play Forecast in goal.Can't see either of those things happening so second it is.I think the play-offs will be Bournemouth-Rochdale and Huddersfield-Peterborough, with Peterborough winning through in the end.

Agent must be working hard then:blush:

My girl is now US based(post grad Uni there) and fortunately they know how to handle this.

Many top flight sports people have trouble accepting it when their time is over in sport. It leads to problems of varying degrees from minor depression to real suicidal tendancies...and worse.They always think that they can go there one more time, for another race,another season,another year,when they realise that they can't it usually aggravates the syndrome. I kind of know this from very close to home as I have a girl who was a really top class athlete until a couple of years back when she picked up a bad injury,she's young enough to come back from it one day but in the meantime there are many dark days and she goes to counselling with other sports people at the end of their careers.

As you well know I think Lambert is our one and only problem, all the rest would just fade away if we dropped him and tried something else. I don't think we can drop him though...as to why I just couldn't say.

Probably not, too close to pay day for that to be a factor.They would be comforted by the fact that no matter how sh*t they were they'd just received relatively large sums of money anyway.As Deano and Butters have since said they thought they played well on Tuesday and they probably did.We just can't score that's all,I would think that the players are more affected by the mounting injuries than any criticism they many get on this or any other forum.
