I agree with you however that by and by we are far better off financially than any three of the promoted teams and have no excuse for not cutting it above them, but you're stabbing yourself in the foot with that last point. Besides, to survive above the three promoted teams, we need to win all those games. Need I remind you we got thrashed by West Ham?!

Wigan - sugar daddy, money no object

West Ham - in the very recent past made it into the European Top 20 Money League, debts reduced by £10m whilst in the CCC!!!!

Sunderland - I'll give you that one!

Well apparently Rev West Ham have a mega bucks sugar daddy who has promised up to 30million available to be spent in the January transfer window.

Is this the Iranian blokey who has been "on the verge" of making a takeover bid for about 3 years and even last week said he wouldnt be doing anything until next summer at the earliest?

£2.3m?

Thats our ENTIRE net spend this summer on transfer fees.

Id say it was pretty damn vital.

You haven't seen the goal then.

I dont think it was directly AT the crowd.

not forgetting this one.

We didn't!  Unfortunately the (rather biased) Ref chose to award that number of free kicks against us though.  He must read the Mail.

340478[/snapback]

I fell somewhat ill saying this But yes, the ref was appalling. And worse of all he was one of them that I usually rate in Mr Webb.

Spurs home kit is White and their away is blue.

What happens then!?

I thought Kuqi was excellent today.

I thought Emerton was woeful, in fact no, he wasnt that good.

Took the wife to the final day or Lancs v York yesterday, Lancs had stands e1,e2, e3, f upper, f lower, g, h and j closed!

My wife said "even ewood is packed compared to this place"

Made me smile!

Bolton ticket details announced and tickets on sale from top tier first which were the more expensive ones last year.  Not sure for the reason but seems strange to me.

340092[/snapback]

At those prices we will be presumable unlikely to sell out both tiers, so they can give the lower tier to the home fans.

That's what I started off doing - both the Beeb and the Gov't for not protecting the so called sporting crown jewels 

  Let's just put it this way - I don't want to put money in Murdoch's pocket in order to watch test cricket !!

Test cricket isnt one of the crown jewels, and hasnt been for almost ten years.

Manchester Blue

Can I politely inform you that many, many people do not subscribe to Sky.

339945[/snapback]

Really? People dont have sky? bloody hell.

Now is the problem because it wont be available to the "masses" (ch4 audience in the small millions) or that they will "change it"?

Or both?

Or neither?

Phil, are you seriously suggesting that Sky will not show something they have paid many millions of pounds for?

This injury would only be a concern if your manager had decided to put all his eggs in one basket this summer and rather than strengthen a substandard squad, had gone out and blown his entire budget on one over-rated, 'everyone look at me', goofy halfwit. Thankfully Hughesy's far too clued up for that and thus you will be fine.

No really, I think this could be better than the Brian Kidd year(s).

339893[/snapback]

AAt least we have a squad. You lot have to rely on some doddery old barsteward turning up with his boots to complete your bench

Well it did say double injury worry so maybe the thigh happened after the ankle...

339847[/snapback]

I think Alan's point is that how could Bellamy get injured with this welsh squad if he didnt join with them due to already being injured?

Is that right Al?

At the moment the cricket's more entertaining than the football. Shame they can't play cricket all year round 

EDIT: Didn't know where to put this so i'll put it here

Anyone going to watch Lancashire tommorrow ?

It looked very empty on Sky today

339524[/snapback]

That was about average for a county game sadly.

I might be there tomorrow and friday.

True Phil, but C4 didnt want the first tranche of tests in a summer and instead only wanted teh second lot (ones in school holidays) also its because of them we have this stupid 6 oclock is simpsons time end.

339498[/snapback]

is it?

Isnt that ICC rules?

This is something the club could solve. If each school party had 3 or 4 volunteer stewards to look after them for the day, meet them from the coach to putting them back on the coach after the game.

It just needs a bit of thought and effort but I don't think the club can be bothered.

339377[/snapback]

Its incredibly hard. It involves taking loco parental responsibility, the process is an absolute minefield with police clearance necessary, paperwork up to your eyeballs etc.

Now presumably some of this is in place for the schools projects, but it is more than a case of "cant be bothered"

Ponting has gone.

Next time I get a message asking me if I want to go remind to take the sicky!!!

England win. Just.

Annoyed that certain people are there and that I am not.

Well at least he shows up which can't be said for certain people connected with our club.

How do you know who goes to games and who doesnt?

Interesting concept: comment is only allowed if one can do something better, as opposed to see that something could be done better. Since Amo is probably a better centre half than you, you'll be refraining from any opinions should he play then?

338142[/snapback]

I dont dislike Amo

Its damn well expensive as well!

I've no problems Stu.

But

1.  Scotty's ignorant attitude ensures that he gets plenty of stick particularly by way of retribution, and anyway he gives almost as good as he gets.  But why do you feel the need to stick up for him, are you two mates or something?  I'm not referring to Scotty but I've got to say a pet hate of mine are ignorant / smarmy / blinkered people.

337984[/snapback]

Im not a "committee man" either. But I am involved in this "project" as it is something I feel worthwhile.

And I only stick up for people when I think they are right, Ive had some right arguments with some of my very best friends as well as people I have and/or havnt met from messageboards.

Anyway, we digress somewhat.

That's him lol.. nah he was quite cute and had a laptop lol.. i have to say that cos i gave him grief at swansea game when i first met him lol
