Can't remember seeing that in the planning application. Can't see it from the street though, that's a minor blessing.

Thinking about what death row inmates did to get there usually makes people sick as well. The last thing this board needs is a death penalty argument though. Ha, yeah I know, sorry for the off topic!

How much is helicopter hire and a large amount of white paint?

I was thinking about getting one of the mugs, just for the sheer size. But presumably they're made of such cheap shite that the tea is cold after about 3 sips anyway?

Thinking about the death penalty makes me a bit physically sick... it's fucking barbaric.

Think you've got a good point about clubs wanting some form of compensation for cheating picked up after the game. It would be a disadvantage of the video review system. I still think it's better than where we are now though, and it would eventually lead to a massive reduction in cheating that would benefit everyone. It would have to be sold clearly like that, and the limitations would have to be admitted and accepted from the start.

I think the problem with the straight red for any offence is that it makes the referees much less likely to call it. You already see that with lack of sending off for 'last man' fouls. You might be right on the extra deterrent though, I'm not sure what would happen there. I would like to see far more yellows given for sure, but it is very difficult to pick up on in real time, and refs are reluctant to accuse people of cheating, for obvious reasons. I know the other team doesn't benefit immediately from retrospective punishment , but in the long run everyone will benefit from cleaning up the game. Will also have a "name and shame" aspect that might be a deterrent.

I think we're at the point where we need a weekly video review panel to punish dangerous play and divers retrospectively.

Don't quite understand the problem with wanting to stop diving and wanting to stop dangerous play. Both are problems for the game. I want to see clean, technical tackling... and shoulder to shoulder... I just don't want to see two-footed leg breakers.

Because of the absolute magic they produce on the pitch.

Yeah, but don't they do the ice pack thing just so he looks injured?

One billion dollars! [/dr evil]

Don't see how anyone can think they were lucky, NUFC fans of all people should understand what it's like having shite owners. If anything, their ownership situation was worse than ours, as it plunged the club into massive debt. They're only lucky in that Liverpool is a big name club that appealed to a buyer... and that the sale went through (probably) in time to save them from relegation. They are still miles away from where they were, and the last couple of years have been a nightmare for them.

Also, with Crouch playing we need to have wingers on the correct sides so that they can get to the byline and get crosses in. Cutting inside is way overrated in the modern game.

TBF, everyone finds it difficult to break down 10 men behind the ball... there's no easy answer.

Wow didnt realise it was soo long, remember him being a good attacking RB on his day, God knows what state hes in after that though Probably 6 or 7 times better than James Perch or Danny Simpson.

I got hammered 6-0 at 7 a-side instead, it was probably more enjoyable.

To think, I nearly went to this game.

Milner was suspended. Also, Milner isn't the solution to anyone's problems.

Keeping Rooney in the team is worse for him than dropping him IMO. Sometimes a good telling off and some time out of favour is what someone needs to clear their head.

Someone just needs to punch him repeatedly in the head.

Encouraging news, don't want to see him rushed, hopefully he will be fit and play a few games before the end of the season - giving us an excuse to sell Smith and/or Nolan.

That's interesting reading, I certainly didn't know that the FA rules actually provide for retrospective action.
