^^ read the team

20 points from those 10 games. Not sure where or how, but I'm just going to keep with our 2.1 points per game ratio. 80 points come end of the season

What this result shows is that this team can win a number of ways. Champagne football last week to win by 8, larger top this to grind out a 1-0. The sign of true champions. ^ that bit was tongue in cheek

3 points please... but the league cup is the most winable competition, so a win there please... oh I don't know.... Both

has anyone got any first hand experience of this phone? Looking to get a new phone and can't spend a fortune and this looks a good option, as the under £70.

It IS a good deal, but although there's no balloon payment at the end, there is an initial payment of £1200 to think about. I know you've included it in your calcs, but some/most just dont have that to lay out upfront. Also, what's your view on never owning a car again... if you keep on leasing? Yes, you get 'worry free' motoring all the time, but you're paying £120+ p/m for ever. Considering this myself, but those ^ are my concerns right now

That was a penalty for me. would've been annoyed if we hadn't been awarded it

It was some goal. In their defence, Sunderland looked alright going forward so far.

Here we go! SS1

Can anyone confirm if we are match choice on Sky at 8?

What's the betting we are NOT match of the day on Sky at 8.

good o

Well yes, which is why I said it would go AROUND the tractor / crane

Could they not put some sort of safety barrier around any moveable / moving recovery vehicles - like a portable tyre barrier if you will, so should a car crash into one again (what are the odds on that, btw) it will be akin to crashing in to a 'normal' tyre barrier

Yeah, you're right... although the water pump doesn't run off the aux belt on the Picasso apparently. i drove it from home to the garage and it's bl00dy heavy without power steering!

Thanks... will look him up. Thanks, just had a look on Eurocarparts - and they're around £130. Labour, what, £100? and another £15 is around £250.... so the quote looks a bit high on that basis.

OK... so it's not JUST the aux belt.... it's a new Alternator too Any recommendations for good trustworthy garages/mechanics greatly appreciated as quoted >£300 and it seems a bit steep to me

OK so it was definitely the belt. Popped home at lunch to take a look and get it to the garage, and the belt itself was on the floor - intact, but on the floor. I cut it down and took the car to the garage for repair tomorrow. The mechanic said it's unusual that it came off in one piece, and it may be something else - think he said pullies? Still no lights on the dash, however??

The wife has an 07 plate Xsara Picasso Diesel. The Aux belt has been squealing for a while, and last night on the way home from work, the power steering went. No lights came on on the dash... does this sound like the Aux belt has gone or would this be something else entirely? Also, been quoted 3 prices for a repair: A main dealer (not Citroen) - £140.00 incl VAT Garage 1 - £74.00 ex VAT Garage 2 - £30.00 all in Im thinking garage 1 is about right??

Must be missing something here?

I read in an article (can't remember which one, been so many) that there is a 'black room' at the training ground where the analysts live - and we already have our targets down for next summer.

conversely I'm happy if games get moved to midweek and are on TV as I can't get to any weekend games

No, quickest way to get an injury. Also, didn't the team set their own target of finishing above spurs this season?

Top Gear stopped being funny about 5 years ago and Clarkson has been annoying since forever.
