  1. No realistic idea but will guess Brighton.
  2. It's more that he can't change his ways, he's shite and one-dimensional. Same as when fat heed used to say he'd play carpet football if given the resources.
  3. That was definitely a Saturday 3pm, was working on the tills in fucking Wallsend Co-op.
  4. They have made efforts to look at the longer term though, not least with the plans for those unbelievable training facilities for developing their own players. I don't think that expense will count against them with the new rules, correct me if I'm wrong, so that's a way to re-direct the crazy money available and build for the long term. They have to break even under the new rules, but there is leeway in that if they are shown to moving in right direction UEFA can make an exception, and one wonders if UEFA would really kick a hugely rich team out of the CL. The point as I understand it is that the big clubs in general are very much for this as it will stop them spending so much, they see themselves spending so much purely to compete and if they can all stop at once would be ideal. I wonder if it'll work though, it doesn't quite go anywhere near as address all the problems with the greedy money grabbing pile of bastards that operate at all levels of the top leagues across europe etc etc, but then again if it cuts down on the stupid money thrown around it could well be very good all round. They surely can't penalise a club for spending money on stuff other than player wages / transfer fees though. Training facilities, scouting development, ground improvements are surely not what they're looking to stamp out, even if clubs are spending a bit beyond their means to develop in this respect. What if a club wants to move to a new stadium on a bank loan for hundreds of millions of pounds, a la Arsenal? I suppose with it being a loan that would probably be a bit different. I honestly think much of this will be so murky that UEFA will never have the conviction to do a damn thing about it.

  6. Aye, they'll sell him for £25m even though he's worth "fack aw" and they'll get the money "ap frant" as well, don't worry about it. As much as we clearly bought well over the summer - better than I thought we had in hindsight - I do think there are holes in the squad that we should have plugged with the money we had. I'm still very apprehensive about centre half cover and yesterday we had nobody on the bench who could help change the game.
  7. Wolves at home Mark Lawrenson's Wolves or Real Life Wolves?
  8. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/56827000/jpg/_56827626_bellamy.jpg Bellamy will never stop fighting, remember when Bobby said he could start an argument in an empty room and he'll never change.
  9. 4 teams below us all on 22 points while we're on 25. Will still be in a very good position if/when we get beat next week. Really hope we get at Chelsea and turn them over.
  10. Pages loading up slow for anyone else today? My internet's been a bit hit and miss recently, maybe it's that.
  11. Their attack doesn't look up to much either imo.
  12. Torres looking delighted with life, sure that'll go down well.
  13. Liverpool have deserved this imo, something really not right with this Chelsea side.
  14. Liverpool fans singing "You should have stayed at a big club" at Torres?
  15. I don't see how expecting to hold on to our better players should be seen as false hope. You don't have to sell players to increase revenue and it's just the easy way out for the club. If we increase our performances on the field then that should be reflected in our performance off the field. It’s been shown time after time that we’ve increased our income substantially when we’ve been doing well in the league and been playing in Europe. Getting to the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup would bring in something like £8 million a year and getting that far in that competition isn’t too difficult. We look to be very close to being able to take the step needed. Being in a league position to qualify would probably require a 6th place finish and that alone would bring in over £3 million when compared to where we finished last season. If we try to sell and buy constantly to increase our income then sooner or later it will go wrong and turn to shit. We will have to start showing some ambition if we're to avoind going backwards and now would be as good a time as any. We'd need a far bigger and better squad to play in Europe mind, the cracks are already beginning to show this season without all those extra fixtures.
