Sour Mash

Not sure if new news http://www.football-italia.net/36643/agent-ramirez-happy-inter think his agent enjoys being busy.

Surely the simple point is though that for the CNN interview, Bin Laden wanted to be found, when the American forces came after him he didn't want to be found. Plus wasn't the CNN interview in '97?

Standard looked even lower than Eastleigh to be honest.

Cheers. Assume he won't be involved until the Besiktas game at the very earliest.

Anyone know when he is due to meet up with the rest of the squad in Spain?

But who would you expect him to play in place of?

I missed that one, strange he still seems quite smug,as if that's true would have cost a fortune for a couple of self-employed dry wallers.

Rodriguez's movement was decent, but his finishing was pretty poor on all those one-on-ones.

I've just been reading through the bloke's tweets and he doesn't say that the removal/make good costs are at his expense, just that he has been told he won't be paid for the work he undertook.

Ah right, f**k knows then, probably change the whole team at half time.

Guess the team we're playing Saturday are stronger, so we'll be saving our 1st team for that. We were never going to have two full strength sides out for both games, but it's a bit surprising they haven't mixed it up a bit and instead gone for such a reserve side.

Agreed, both parties showing a distinct lack of sanity there. Mental.

£15 is what I was thinking about right.

And I've had a cracking night out in Barnstaple before, doesn't mean I included it on my list! Point being I've done plenty of nights and days out on the beer in these places and as well as plenty of times out in all the major northern cities (apart from Nottingham), so I'm able to say that these is very little difference between north/south in terms of people going out to enjoy themselves and have a laugh, which was your point that I was responding to.

Best site to use is East Coast Trains. Easy to use and if you create an account you can accumulate points to use for free journeys (free journeys only on east coast trains, so Newcastle and Sunderland away etc). Others on here can probably recommend better than me, but I think for getting to Brum, one of the ways to save a few quid is buy a ticket using your network card as far as Banbury and then a regular ticket from there. I assume we can expect the full 3k allocation for this game? Not that the club ever tell us how much of an allocation we have for each game.

Just based on mine and my mates experiences of various night's outs in those places, certainly don't seem to be a problem with people going out and having a good time in any of those places in the South of England.

That's the main, over-riding problem.

Used to be made up of ropey old bars and clubs, Brannigans, New Yorks etc. Just think the combination of lots of good old buildings, city walls, close to the water, Oxford Street could make up a quality city centre. Be interesting to see what the Old Northam Road regeneration produces, could have potential.

Probably can add Bournemouth to that list.

I pretty much agree with all your other points in that post, but really can't agree with this one. Bristol and Brighton p**s all over most cities in the north, including Liverpool some might argue.

Might just be my age catching up on me, but I always find this such a strange turn of phrase to use about a player.

Possibly, but I actually think he'll come into his own a bit at times like that, being able to pick up the ball from deep and drive at opposition defences, get them facing their own goal, opening up space for runners off the ball. Will be interesting to see how we work it though.

Is Mikel a few inches taller than Schneiderlin? Don't see him having a more physical presence than MS at all.

They're not leightweight at all. The one thing that I think Wanyama might give us that we didn't have last season is the ability carry the ball great distances, driving at opposition teams - Cork nor Schneiderlin are very good at that.

Like us with Osvaldo?
