They're probably only want £15m because it's Liverpool asking. Any other club and they'd probably say £5m, not that I know anything about him.

Last time I saw Bates he was haunting Bedford's Place on matchdays, that was years ago now though. I think Lee moved to Hull, claiming they don't have the internet there. The Ted Bates statue and Big Sam's phone threads were the best freds on here.

That day was the first time I ever saw an F1 car at racing speed and my first ever visit to Spa. A truly monumental occasion.

I met Baj once. Happiest day of my life.

I've got the whole forum on ignore, except for Just Mike.

This is the planned development for Fratton Park in about 3 years time. Weird looking stadium.

I'm all for it. If a young child doesn't respond to verbal argument, sometimes the only way to get your point accross is a short sharp smack. I think the line to be drawn is very simple; It should be painful but not cause any injury or marks to the child.

It's the Swiss cheese model they keep banging on about in CRM courses. Get a dodgy captain with a dodgy first officer in a dodgy plane at a dodgy airport *cough* Madrid *cough* in dodgy weather and things will probably go wrong. Ryanair is no worse than any of the more reputable European airlines. They've never done anything as bad as Kegworth or AF447.

Please tell me this is a joke.

You should be allowed to take an empty bottle through but I think the 100ml of orange will have to be in a seperate 100ml bottle. It's a weird rule, but you shouldn't have any issues taking an empty bottle through, I do it all the time.

Speedy boaring at Ryanair doesn't guarantee a row, it just means you get a chance to eat the best meat before the rest of the hyaenas arrive. Allocated seats wouldn't work with Ryanair, they rely on 25 minute turn arounds between flights. They rely on the mad rush of people trying to get seats together and queueing up half an hour before the flight.

If by keen you mean mandatory then yes. Your average new recruit at Ryanair will be £100k in debt and earning about £32k a year.

I will add that generally the training at Ryanair is very good and I wouldn't have any worries about 99% of their pilots. However what this woman thought she was doing taking off after colliding with another aircraft I'll never know.

No. They were approaching the end of a taxiway and trying to possition themselves around the 767 to an adjacent holding point. The taxi from the Ryanair terminal in Barcelona to the holding point of runway 25L is notorious for being very long, as you have to circumnavigate the whole of RW25R and normally are not allowed just to cross it. It's also a busy airport which often involved waiting behind 3 or 4 aircraft before you are allowed to depart. As such long delays are expected and built into the scheduled flight times. In any case, Ryanair's on time departures are judged on what time they push back, not what time they take off. If they left the gate on time, the time they take off is largely irrelevant.

He was worse for Chelsea, barely lasted a season and then vanished along with Mutu. I think the net transfer cost would be about £15m each after Utd sold him to Chelsea.

When we finish 2nd again this season and qualify for the CL, then maybe we can sign Theo. The problem is that by then Fratton Park will be an affordable housing development so I may have to renege on my promise.

Two things: 1. You don't know what's going on behind the scenes. For all you know we could be in talks with 6 or 7 potential signings at CB. If we start the season in 3 weeks without another centre half, THEN we have a problem. 2. WE ARE NOT apparently willing to go for Walcott. It's some horse sh*t news article which doesn't deserve any credence what-so-ever. If we sign Walcott I will skip around Fratton Park in my Saints top with my knob out.

They wont, that's just what Arsenal are asking for, they will probably end up with around £10m. Someone will pay it to secure Walcott's services now, rather than wait a year for his contract to expire and potential have Theo lose interest. Arsenal wont save any money by loaning him out because they will have to find a suitable replacement who will want similar wages. I have played football manager but I don't remember ever getting promoted from the Championship and buying the best players from Champions League teams. Walcott will go to a Champions League team who can offer him more money than Arsenal. Saints wont get a look in and to suggest we will is ludicrous.

Hajto, Killer, Dickson, Kosowski, McCann, Saganowski, BWP all had 'wrong' squad numbers.

No, just... no. Why would anyone loan out a player in the last year of his contract, they would lose his services for a year and he'd leave on a free next summer. The only reason Arsenal would sell now is to stop Theo leaving for free next year. We cannot out-bid Champions League teams on the wages of their best players. Christ this thread/journalist is stupid.

Wow, that journalist is selling off his credibility pretty cheap for a bit of attention. There are just so many reasons this will never happen that I can't be bothered to list them all. Over to you MLG.

I'd like to book my seat on the "JWP will play for England" band wagon nice and early. Looked an excellent prospect out there today.

Would make sense. I'd say he was a decent enough Championship player, he just looked poor in a brilliant Championship team last season.

I think you will find it's, "too all in tents and porpoises."

£500k seems like a pretty good price to me, he's a proven L1 goal scorer and I reckon could DAJF an NpC club. The only problem with Swindon is that it's in Swindon.
