  1. Chill! The company dissolved was PCP CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED. PCP CAPITAL PARTNERS LLP are still active.
  2. The press office working overtime, preparing the big announcement...
  3. Desmond also lives in Hampstead. Just taking some mates to his local?
  4. I used to go to that restaurant frequently a few years back. The owner (nice bloke) pretty much always offered most of his customers a free shot of something (brandy usually) after the meal. Now, perhaps he's given Amanda more than a free drink... a celebratory bottle?
  5. This. Entitlement is not the right word mind Agree, but I’m feeling lazy. The general point is right — they owe us nothing and their offers are not indicative of anything that would happen if they did own us in the future. This is a business transaction. Here, it's the right word for what I'm trying to say... I feel like statements like: Are pretty entitled, like they owe us something. Entitlement is feeling like you have a 'right' to something or that you are owed, right? Seems the right word to me. Ashley, in buying a club of our stature, owes us (the fans, the city, the region) a competitively run club. His time here has, in terms of progress made, been a disaster. A takeover from someone willing to run the club in the right way would be a corrective to the penny-pinching, corrosive, and at times downright offensive (changing the name of the stadium, the huge SD advert on the Gallowgate roof, etc.) way the club has been run in recent years. We *are* owed more than we're getting - for the continued level of support under his manky stewardship if nothing else.
  6. The Portland Timbers' fans actually have a really strong connection with Sunderland. They've done a lot of cross-Atlantic work together. If you go on a Timbers' forum there's quite often talk of Sunderland in a positive light. Daft gets.
  7. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41922973
  8. would love to know what was going through his mind for him to land on that like. "You beardy tw*t, pug nosed gimp, lard boy... and I go yeah, what have you ever done on telly? Nothing. So don't... absolutely flabulous".
  9. Lives in the Middle East, mates with the skunkers journo, same source as paully etc. So basically just relaying the news from over there? Look at the Tweet before it. He's going on about some drink he's tasted.
  10. No. I fail to see what's funny? Scottish footer, innit.
  11. Never buying Jaffa Cakes again. Unbelievable.
  12. Bring Hatem home, finally land Erdinc, get the Steve Harper statue built... it's finally happening.
  13. Get Kuyt first of all... he's eluded us for far too long.
  14. This thread is hitting the skids. Get a grip!
