depends what time of the month though

its not always easy on a greasy surface though

I would put it differently, bit I would wouldn't I steve!! you go out with the most gorgeous woman, but she doesnt do it until the wedding night.

Ithink his wages are covered under the insurance, I do hope so anyway.

fair play as that's what I think as well.

If we could become moderately successful playing this way it would be fine by me. I saw enough of our crap over the seasons and while I agree with the comments about Arsenal being brittle, what a wonderful type of football to watch. When we start invcreasing our win rate (if) then things will look so much better. Of course the fans who delude themselves that we are some super club will not be satisfied. Its time to accept the fact that we are viewed much as we do Cov, Ipswich Norwich Boro etc.We have not for decades been viewed as a rival to Liverpool Man u etc on the pitch.

I dont ususally support Alp but I did put up that Rudi was said to be leaving this week after some info I received from Ipswich end.It seems it was duff info although it was said to be done Friday!!!

A player with promise who coud leave due to freedom of contract was tried to be persuaded to stay. He was an asset going out of the door. The club has a responsibility to try and look after those assets, in your scenario Dyer should have been left to walk as well as Basaya, boy would the club get some stick for that.

where was it said it wasn't. There again pre the appointment the club would of course have to take account of which players could leave on freedom of contract and try to make moves to keep them. They were trying to persuade Dyer at the same time. That was good business as he could have walked for nothing but we have a deal with Sheff utd that will bring in a nice sum, so we should applaud RL for that or whoever got him to sign.

you will eat those words in a season or so IMO

I cant recall what the Runnymead meeting gave as RL's remit, but I think it was football matters and also RL handled players signings in many deals when we were in the Pl I believe. If RL tried to convince a young player to stay what is wrong with that? Bloody hell this is getting dridiculous, he also persuaded Morgan to join is that bad as well. I remember when that young prodigy chose Chelsea instead of saints and there was hell to pay because RL had it was said not gone to meet the lad and his parents. Why is everything that is done seen as sinister, if Basaya fitted in with the clubs plans they should use every means posssible to show they want him and to have a board member try to persuade him not to go should be seen as good not bad. I dont want him to pick the team but if he is responsible for getting a young player to stay who one day may become an asset then go for it.

I do understand and you put it beautifully but I would like to point out your bias does show through even though you really do try and be balanced. The Daily Mail seems to be a pet hate of yours, I dont read any of the papers anymore as they only get you down. If its not spongers its government waste, or other nonsense to wind people up. It would be best if I read the Guardian so I could see the adverts for jobs and how my taxes are being used to employ people in mad jobs on high wages. ..........steady Im only teasing you BTF although

that is funny

fair comment, I have to hold my hand up as I didnt realise the ****''' happened 2 years ago.

do you think so? Surely Surman would be looking to greater things than Reading

I dont get newspapers but your generalisation of Daily Mail readers is wrong. Only a percentage of them complained and no doubt there were people who found phoning the granddad offensive as well, even the luvvie Guardian readers may have felt uneasy. There was 1 innocent victim in all this and that is who the majority of people would feel for. The 2 presenters and the girl deserve each other.

Nowhere near what MW wanting to find out who gave her the info or who she is?

who the players...as long as its the whole crew I will pop open a bottle of champers

he is expected to be available saturday and so his battle is not quite over

well having players come and with htier thoughts is communicating with its customers,but the customers dont want to beleive it and so they may as well tell us to f### off as that is what it seems fans want.

I lol'd anyway AP

I never doubted he did sleep with her but it was how they sent a message to her granddad

she'll be on Im a celebrity or something soon. While I dont like what the 2 off the radio did she is just as bad by using it to further her career.

you are not wrong there

at last some financial brain. You havent registered still, shame on you we need your input Jonah
