The wage bill is 70.4% of our operating expenses so that's got to be the most obvious area to go looking to make savings. Targeting anything else as a starting point wouldn't make sense as the savings would me minimal in comparison. In business you always go for savings in whatever area offers the greatest gains, 10% of a 100 is better than 50% of 5. what a load of shite mackems.gif How is that a load of shite? Mick is spot on there, both in his analagy at the bottom with regards to the %'s and he's also right about the wage bill. If it is indeed 70.4% of expenditure (and I have no reason to doubt it) then that has to be the first place he looks at trimming. Obviously if someone was on £100,000 a week but got 35 goals a season or whatever then that would justify the wages, but when you look at the likes of Geremi, Owen, Smith, Viduka, Duff, Cacapa etc, these players offer nothing to the squad because they are either shite, made of glass, or both. In some cases (Smith, Cacapa, Viduka) we're basically paying them for nothing, as well as covering the cost of their rehab and physio. I'd like to see you explain how that post is shite. My guess is just because it was Mick who posted it, maybe you should actually read it? It makes sense.

The kid is a fucking animal, plain and simple. No doubt he's gotten away with it again as well? I'd like to see a Scouse midfield for our next game against Wigan: Raylor-Barton-Guthrie-Nolan Get Stephen Carr back for one game at RB as well, odds on that one of those five will snap his leg off and wipe the smile off his cunty little face.

Can remember all the senior players at Weymouth getting sacked a few years back as well, all the players were in the changing rooms packing stuff for the trip to Spain, the gaffer came in with a piece of paper that the captain thought was the flight itinery, when it was a letter from the chairman saying all of the senior players had until the end of the day to collect their stuff and get out. Sad thought

van Persie fluffs a good chance against the mackems.

Excellent, Anelka and Lampard (captain!) fantasy points. Good start.

Am I the only one who thinks that a key part of this club moving forwards is losing Owen?

I'd fucking love it if Hull went down like, if they had any other manager i'd doth my cap and applaud their efforts but Phil Orange is a cunt amongst men. Saying that i fully expect us not to win when we play them at the KC again. Why are Phil and Wes Brown both orange? Because they use Kia-Ora as moisturizer.

Haha, that lad there just sonning the entire Spurs back four. wp

Why is the co-commentator calling him "Gomesh" ffs

Some random youth pikey coming on to replace him. EDIT: or not.

Haha, Shaktar sub scores with his first touch Gomes again comes off his line, misses the ball and then feigns injury

Cue KD whining about how shite Bentley is at everything, especially freekicks

This is an awful match, Spurs creating nowt, Shaktar happy to get shots from distance blocked

:colo: is out injured so no shock. Fellaini will start. Saha on the bench too imo. I've been told different but fair enough, I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong I hope you're right and that he doesn't start....but I think he'll play him if he's anywhere near being fit. Agreed. If Neville indeed moves to right back, partnering Rodwell will be that Castillo bloke (if Fellaini doesn't play) and he's shite, so he'll probably start him and just play him for an hour if he's not match fit.

Haha, the presenter saying "he's just started shaving"

Spurs bench having "a player who will no longer be considered for selection", 5 youth randoms, and Darren Bent Who the fuck is "Parrett"?

I hear NE5 is going to be cast as Freddy Shepherd.

The answer: take Ashley Cole out, he gets nee assists, and get Maynor Figueroa in. Been excellent all season, Wigan get buckets of clean sheets and he gets lots of assists. hth

What, similar to the Kinnear-o-meter in the Relegation thread? Good shout.

Good, that orange smug twat looks like even more of a bellend now. Bet he didn't even have a proper medical. He can't have. Also wp Fulham for realizing that his knee was a time bomb and offloading him to the gormless sods

Shearer was more of a leader, a talisman, an inspiration. Owen is a quiet little shit who is made of glass.

Still hasn't ruled it out.

If Viduka is fit enough to even play just an hour he should start, and then we can chuck on Martins, Smith or Shola on the hour depending whether we need to chase, close down or try and throw away the game.

If Wenger rates him as a scout, he must be at least competent at the role. Offer him an upstairs role working in tandem with Wise or a scouting role or whatever. Whoever said offer him a job in the reserves or academy is surely joking, Kinnear fucking hates our youth players, that's why he never plays them Kinnear would ruin our academy.

It's gotta be so easy to pull girls as a footballer. ...Not for everyone http://img.skysports.com/08/01/218x298/Petera_Ramage_625679.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q30/perkel4346/Blog%20Pictures/metthewpattison.jpg http://images.sportinglife.com/08/08/330/PaulMcShane_1153567.jpg http://img.skysports.com/08/01/218x298/David_Wheater_624458.jpg http://www.fansfc.com/UploadedImages/Players/Dirk%20Kuyt_633570741987343750.jpg http://img.skysports.com/08/02/218x298/Richard_Dunne_647005.jpg You did miss a few out.
