Froggy

Only has a year left on his contract but I would still think a considerably higher bid would be required.

I won $70 from Nadal winning the French. Tempted to whack it all on Djokovic to win Wimbledon. Going to think about it for the next few days. Would return near $200.

That is smart man.

I just think it'll be a lot closer than you suggest. A few Roosters players could be a bit tired from Origin as well. Wouldn't fancy the Roosters to win by 13 points at the Parramatta Stadium but you never know!

That's risky I reckon. I actually fancy Parramatta to spring an upset, just not enough to beat on it. I reckon the Dragons might be worth a handicap against the Knights. Might go +12 or so.

No. Unless you think that Manchester United are in debt to their owners to the tune of £1bn+ Edit: And thats not taking into account the laughable notion that he would get that if he sold it. Isn't the case of Manyoo different though? Their debt is the leverage used by the Glaziers to acquire the club i.e. they borrowed the cash to buy the club and then saddled the club with the debt. So purchase price plus debt doesn't work because the debt is the purchase price? In Ashley's case he paid cash for the club and then loaned it further cash. Therefore it is more reasonable to value the club that way? You're right in saying it's ludicrous to suggest that Ashley would get anything like that amount of cash if he sold the club. And I'm certainly not suggesting that Ashley is a good guy for paying cash - quite the opposite in fact, because Deloitte's debt figure suggests some sort of "in case of sale debt becomes payable" scenario that got him into trouble in the first place. Yeah our case is completely different. The Glazers used loans to buy us and then moved the loan debt and some debt from their American franchises to Manchester United. Our club is basically paying off their debt, and very quickly. It was a shrewd business move from the Glazers, and it is working well for them. If things keep going the way they are our debt will be gone within 8 years, which is crazy considering we were in debt just under £700m in 2005.

What are you thinking of? Storms should be a lock especially with Gallen out. Fancy Manly as well. Other than that I'm not too sure what to do.

Boom. Took -2 after the first try, was bricking it for the last 15mins. Should really have been a lot more than what it was. QLD looked awful in the first half and could have been down 24-0 quite easily.

Aye me too. Could well be £34m, but I think it'sa £22m fee and £3m a year in wages.

That's reported to include his wages as well.

Boom.

Was a similar tweet on Ronaldos profile a while back. Someone is taking the piss.

$40 on New South Wales in the first State of Origin.

Jones himself has said that his future is at centre-back. I don't remember him saying that but it isn't really up to him, especially if his manager believes he'll be better elsewhere. We seem to be pretty strongly linked to a centre back. That'll be Vidic, Evans, Ferdinand and a new centre back ahead of him in the pecking order. Smalling is also playing extremely well and is played ahead of Jones in centre back when the position is available, with Jones moving into midfield or playing as a right back. I don't think Jones will be a centre back.

Nah, we barely play Jones in centre back. I think the long term plan is a defensive or even box to box midfielder, which he'll be much better at IMO. He has too much natural instinct to go forward to be a reliable centre back.

Good. All I pictured was:

It really, really irks me that people think the likes of Mourinho returning has anything to do with him retiring.

No.

Keane would have destroyed Shearer.

He's getting me every time with those.

I still have no idea if SEMTEX is American or not.

Nah man. Our team is brutal. Nobody to choose from. There's nowt Irish about me.
