If this is true then Rupert's business acumen has not improved then Wonder whether Mandaric will send him a duck to celebrate!

Agree ! That comfy sofa relationship reminds me of an episode of The New Statesman !

I can't stand the supercilious old bat !

Agree.. The Lallana goal that was'nt was a shockingly bad decision ( almost as bad as Guly's miss), and the sending off was ridiculous as D'Urso allowed himself to be totally conned by El Abd.. No wonder he is regarded as a "oh No not him" ref.. Now the fact that he has been seen a few times in the crowd at the Boleyn Ground would not be a reason - Would it !!

Bloody hope it not a sweetener for us letting Arsenal having dibs at Luke Shaw

RIP Gary A decent man taken too young

This could be the kick up the arse that evrybody needs - NC and NA will find that result as unacceptable as the fans do, and that might well signal a player strengthening PDQ... As for all the doom-mongers - Look at where we were 12 months ago, look at the table today and get some perspective

Salako reckons El Abd bought that one...

Salako reckons we are well on top

Japanese players are all technically good and well disciplined - That fits into our club ethos nicely. Also players like Kagawa and Honda a sought after players, and Lee Plays in the same national side as these guys. I reckon this could be a master=stroke if it comes off

It's the Storrie way don't you know !! Its all about taking the club to a level they would not beleive..

Toss up between Rickie and Frazer for me..

They would probably say: " Are you still here Storrie" ?

Really do not rate Beckford at all.. Despite his reputation, when Leeds came down to SMS 2 years ago Jaidi just outplayed him and he spent the entire game on his arse. Maynard on the other hand would be a good acquisition and better than Sharp IMHO..

Posted by Gruffalo on the previous page - Len Phillips the last member of their championship winning side. The skate supporters have cetainly got their fins in a flap about this one...

Regardless of wages, any move ( loan or permanent) has to be right for the player, and he obviously thought the options on the table in the summer were not in his interests for whatever reason... Never mind that City were daft enough to pay him a fortune - Tough sh1t on them, its not Bridgey's issue. Provided he fulfils the requirements of his contract ( and he is), then he has earned whatever they agree to pay him.

Whether he gets another chance entirely depends on his attitude ! If he knuckles down and complies exactly with NA's direction then yes, but any signs of petulance or "billybig****** attitudes" then absolutely NO ! We have seen what can be achieved with a fantastic team ethic and we do not want that compromised by any bad apples..

PMSL... Is that all you have got left now !!?? A red letter day indeed - Corpy can no longer defend the indefensible!

Well "Investigative genius" Guided Missile has rather ****ed on your first dish of chips with his posts - And you have conveniently omitted to either respond/acknowledge them which means you think he is right - But as usual you stick your fingers in your ears, stick your head in the sand, and don't want to hear it!!!! You would rather not pay your dues and continue as you have done without penalty.... Now thats Cheap Cheating!!

Perhaps "Oh wise and well connected one", I should have elaborated to save you wasting one of your 3 a day posts in trying to defend the indefensible again! As my good friend Channon's Sideburn's has already pointed out, CSI's money was Antonov's money ( well probably not actually but thats for the courts to decide)which once he had his collar felt and charged with international financial crime - CSI quickly followed him down the toilet! Implication - Without Antonov, CSI's entire portfolio was generating/worth 2 brass farthings between them.. Therefore my provocation is that the whole lot is "one economic entity" which although not identical to our former circumstance, has manifested in a pretty similar manner.

i read that as CSI and Antonov being inextricably linked to the phew - Don't you!!

Think my sides would split laughing !! Will await the inevitable updates on here I think...

Agree - Nice one Frank ! Especially like the line pointing out to the Skatey Chisellers " That they are protesting agsint the only 2 people who are saving them" - The FA and the FL...

I would love them to be attributed to Storrie-Ho !
