Got the new Pearl Jam album - the best they've done in years. -
Anyone been to Bodeans in London? Planning on a trip Saturday night for BBQ and College Gridiron.

When Ince was confronted by the heckler on video, didn't he say he was forced to play RSC? (And this is an example of why he wasn't ready - Sam wouldn't have let anyone force him to do anything.)
-
Exactly, but we invested a lot more money in Mokoena to find that out.
-
You guys don't get the point - he isn't championing Harkins, he's saying Mokoena is crap.

If you think SGE is a great manager, look at Mexico. Floundering with him, looking unstoppable without him. -

Didn't think the West Ham players made it any better with their over the top goal celebrations. Oh well, I should be back living in the States by 2018, so should work for me. -

Derbs was moved on because he didn't score enough, even though it was his only job (plus the whole doesn't know where the corner flag thing is, and other rumored transgressions). -
And I'd ask where Dom Matteo, Gresko and Nissa are.....

The point is that they can. These players help cause our vastly over inflated wage bill, and don't provide anything more than a youngster would. Just because a player has experience doesn't mean they are any good. Look at 2-3 seasons ago when Reid was AWFUL at right back when trying to come back from one of his injuries. Would Nolan have done any worse? But hey, we played the experienced player, so I guess it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, with the high cost of relegation, and the lack of patience in managers, playing the more experienced player and having their higher wages on the books will always be the safe move. People talk about how a lot of the youth players bigged up by 6 haven't gone on to do anything, but fail to mention that a lot of the higher wage players who were playing instead haven't gone on to do anything either.

Got found out by an injury - was just starting to play very well for us when he got hurt. Shame what got found out is how much of a wuss he was.

Actually, you have to tell your prospective employers about any felony convictions.

If I knew I only had 5-10 years of prime earnings potential (if I didn't get a career ending injury earlier), I'd make the most of it. Don't see how I'm winding you up, just expressing an opinion you disagree with. That is allowed, isn't it? Still waiting for your response to the Lucas telling Hughes he intended to leave and that it was Hughes' decision to let him run down his contract, not his. He never turned down a move after he said he wanted to leave, yet you insist on blaming him for doing what most people in that situation would. What makes him any different than any of our other players who have left? They could have signed new contracts and stayed with the club.

So no-one who has any talent works for a small company? If someone went to work for a start-up instead of Microsoft, would you consider them to have no ambition?
-
I'm sure LeChuck and Rev have turned down or never asked for a raise (and are still ignorant enough to forget the fact that it was Hughes' decision not to sell him when he was given 18 months notice that Lucas didn't want to re-sign). People move employers all of the time. I've been at the same place for 9 years, but I'd be a liar if I said I've never looked at what else is out there in terms of money or opportunity.

Made a couple corrections to your post to make it more factual. He never turned down a move, because we never tried to sell him. -

Enough with the agenda. Lucas was better than Curtis. HE ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTIONS TO LEAVE AT LEAST 18 MONTHS IN ADVANCE - THERE WAS PLENTY OF CHANCE TO SELL HIM, BUT SPARKY DIDN'T WANT TO!!! -
and she's still the girlfriend?

Thought the first couple were really good, but then he got too international and too political. -

Have found a website, readitswapit.co.uk. It allows you to trade books you have already read for only the price of postage. Off of that, I can recommend Finbar's Hotel, a group of 6 short stories by Irish writers. -

Cleared up a typo for you. Anything to help keep us up at their expense. -
That's a Barca/United final, then! I actually think that 0-0 away from home in the first leg gives Chelsea a slight disadvantage. Yes, they are home the second match, but if any goals are scored, they have to win, as a 1-1 draw is the same as a loss.
