See Barry Bannan. A huge chunk of the supporters felt he should be a nailed on starter and the future of our midfield. Now at Sheffield Wednesday.

Extra-ordinarily stupid POV IMO. He's barely been here half a season and has been injured in that time to boot.

100% agree Zatman. A massively lazy choice.

It would also be an utterly stupid thing to say. We are down. That can't be helped. We're not going to get 10 wins between now and May. I'd far rather we get a statement saying that they are extremely disappointed and here is the plan to get us back up and being competitive again and the money required to do so will be provided.

I liked Victoria's Secret/Cookie girl.

If you want something that is funny but a little different try the "My Dad Wrote a Porno" podcast. Essentially someone's dad has written an erotic novel - so they read it and critique it chapter by chapter. I had moments over Christmas where I was crying with laughter.

Presumably they'll only be outside on picket lines so at least they won't have far to go?

Yes a couple of people I think . There is absolutely a precedent. :nod:

Yes. They're basically saying to other hospitals "help we're **** - can we pinch some of your staff??"

And your evidence of this is........ what?

I'd argue he doesn't. Tell you what - lets play a game. Reply to this post with 2 quotes - 1 from Sherwood, 1 from Garde. I'll tell you who was who.

I think its more than that. You might be a fan and feel that it is "your" club but the stark reality is that that point of view is utterly incorrect. (League) Football and the working man's game at the heart of your community is stone dead. Never to be revived. You are a customer in the entertainment industry - no different to and actually less important (from a business point of view) than people who wander through the turnstiles at Disney or Alton Towers. Regardless of that - the personal abuse levelled at fans/managers is unacceptable. It was with McLeish, it was with Lambert, and Sherwood and it still is now with Garde. You don't go to DisneyLand and call Mickey Mouse a word removed when Thunder Mountain is closed. You don't go to a restaurant and scream at the chef when your burger is not cooked how you like it. Richards' reaction of the fans on Saturday was admirable. I was proud of him as our Captain for putting himself in that situation in the face of outright hostility to approach the fans and try to diffuse the atmosphere. Fair play lad.

There are two problems for me 1) There is no clear message and no clear purpose to the "protest" a bunch of people being late to a game standing a car park will achieve nowt. (Toon fans tried this to oust Ashley - remind me how that one worked out) 2) The protest will inevitably descend into a bunch of pissed up berks in the club colours yelling "word removed" at anyone who will pay them attention. I thought the behaviour of those "fans" at Wycombe on Saturday was a complete disgrace and an embarrassment to the club and would far rather those shameful events were not repeated in any way shape or form.

Will WE play him even in that league though? Assuming we keep the same squad and there is no reason we shouldn't we'd have better players in front of him. In that scenario he's a waste of a squad place. If he was good enough he'd be playing now - and this is not the same as the Cahill situation. Dynamic midfielders with his injury record at his age rarely go on to succeed.

His career to date may have been ravaged by injuries but lets face it - he will never ever make it as a starter for Villa. The kid simply isn't good enough for where we are and what we need - I also believe this will be the case following our inevitable relegation. Let him go.

I don't agree with charging for a visit - I think this is one of the unsolvable problems with NHS will have - people will (over)use it because it is free.

Question - on my PS1 version the character' name is Aeris. Where has "Aerith" come from?!

The nearer to the date the report is generated a missed/late payment is the more impact has on your credit report. As time goes on it will go down. Double check that you are on the electoral roll (and weirdly having a landline number massively helps as well). Also don't stress too much. We've recently applied for a mortgage and they will worry more about affordability than a recent missed payment that's now been corrected. (Worth also noting IIRC it can take up to 3 months for data to be entered on a credit report so whilst a late payment maybe on there its seriousness will not necessarily be properly reflected yet.

Well this is all rather silly isn't it?

Shame the only way he CAN be removed is by him volunteering to leave in exchange for multiple millions of pounds though isn't it?

I have no data either way - although that is what Fox said was the case over the New Year in an interview with Pat Murphy.

Agreed. The club I'm sure have plenty of ambition. What we don't appear to have is money. Its cheap to talk about ambition. Expensive to demonstrate it.

Ah yes the old "make random bids for unrealistic superstars, age-ing players and has-beens in a cynical attempt to placate the fans with "abition"" aproach. Also known as the "shrug we're trying" approach.

To be fair it worked for the Russians/Soviets for centuries.
