Moules frites. It's the national dish.

You'd think so, but Fulham for example has taken an age to rebuild its fanbase back to what it was in the sixties. Even now, with a capacity of around 25,000 at Craven Cottage, you can get tickets on the day for many PL games. Back on topic, I'd guess that Buttner has been bought to play in front of, or interchangeably with, Fox - not instead of him.

They are in the most crowded Premiership borough in the country. Hammersmith & Fulham has Chelsea, Fulham and QPR - QPR being the worst team in the borough by some distance.

Wrong legislation. You need the Dada Protection Act.

Bitter and twisted. Excellent.

Too much information....

I recall that Norwich signed nine when they went up to the Prem.

So long as you copy write it and don't copyright it. Which I now have.

Yes. A thought will be wishfully had.

Bugger. I did not see that coming.

Promising. (BTW, that's a good and very old IOW username you have - not the 17 part obviously)

Would you send someone to whom you have a duty of care to PFC, the Rangers writ small of the South?

This is turning into Airplane!

One of the great comedy moments in the history of financial advice.

How can a player who hasn't played for a first team in the Championship yet demand a first-team place in the Prem?

No. .............. is his real name. And he gets 'letters' from a spambot who signs himself Marge apparently.

Trousers ticker tape not quite up to speed?

Let's keep loony tunes spam off of here.

Players for locally rival clubs are sometimes reluctant to go from one to another because the animosity directed at them by the club fans they leave. Shouldn't we signal in some way that we really don't mind? And we'll have to re-think the Fourpast nickname to take account of the consequent goal diff chasm.

I know people have joked about it, but I can't help thinking this 'Premier League goalkeeper' has to be Forecast. Who else is local enough that he won't have to risk relocating to a club that then goes immediately into liquidation?

That link doesn't say 'just over half'. You're overstating even the Daily Mail and Migration Watch, who only claim 18,000 - and that it's some considerable way below half of the 46,000 jobs in creating the park itself, let alone the 65,000 referred to as spin-off jobs in the HP article. Good luck with the op, by the way.

How large? Source?

And the 'expected' expose of manipulation from the BoE and/or the government did not emerge. It was all, said Diamond, 'rogue traders' within Barclays, who made him 'sick'.

Good story. I was at CERN while the LHC was under construction. The experimental scientists I met there were all as you describe. Their single-minded determination to be as cautious and precise as possible with their experiments, never overstating a result or over-simplifying an explanation, made them almost impossible to understand at times. But this was truly a scientific community working with common purpose and at the very edge of our scientific knowledge. Aside from this, it's a great day for woefully underfunded British science, and for Peter Higgs in particular. We spend 0.55 of GDP on scientific research - less than any country in the G8. Yet Britain is the most scientifically productive country in the world. (The Cavendish Lab in Cambridge alone has 29 Nobel prizes - more than entire countries like China or Russia.) Knighthoods won't mean a damn if Higgs isn't awarded one.
