irreverentad

I am in 2017 now. I got Ipswich promoted and then finished 9th in my first 2 seasons. I then moved to Fulham and finished 7th in my first season, 3rd in the second season and then won the Premier League in the next 2 seasons my squad had an average age of 23. In the summer of 2016 after England fell to 20th in the Fifa rankings, I took the job. We have qualified for the 2018 WC and won all the games so far. The 2 best signings I made for Fulham were Phil Jones for 4.5m after BBurn got relegated and Paulo Henrique for 9.25m.

My mother-in-law has asked me what spit roasting was and also what was meant by a pearl necklace... coming to think of it is there a hidden message in there? Has anyone ever searched Pearl Necklace in wikipedia. It has a proper picture!!!! haha

I Love that film. Definately in my top 3.

Firstly if redundancy is in process, not a chance you will be taken to court or anything for breach of contract. Most potential employers I have interviewed for will either accept a 3 month notice period or ask "would you be prepared to leave your current role sooner?", therefore they would accept a pretty standard reference from the company you are leaving. Also if your current company is struggling they might be happy to get your wages of the books and give you a good reference. But only speak to them AFTER you have accepted the new job of course. Personally I would make the jump to a more secure company regardless of getting a redundancy package worth 4 years.

Choffer, Have you got any e-mails or anything in writing that says there maybe redundancy in the company at some point? Also, will you need a glowing reference from your current role?

I have always enjoyed listening to certain classical music such as o fortuna and music quite similarily grand and dramatic. Especially good at the Grande Place in Brussels with the light show and a beer. The problem is classical music seems so vast, I don't even know where to start. Anyone know of any 'starter' composers to get into? or what was the first album/piece that got you into classical music? what are your favourite pieces of music? Sorry for the questions, but I find it as confusing as going to a chinese restaurant where the menus are not written in English!

Thanks drat. The brewery especially sounds great! Also tempted to go to a baseball game as well. Is it "warmish" therefore jumper weather or will t-shirt and jeans be ok most of the time? Anyone else any thoughts on things to do?

I am going to Toronto at the middle of May to see family. I am not sure what to expect. Any tips on the city? or things I must see? Cheers

At this late stage if we replaced Houllier (which I do not want to), it would have to be someone like Gregory. Someone who understands the club and would fire passion into the team and get them ready to fight.

Just finished listening to The Mariner's Revenge Song by The Decemberists.........Bloody fantastic!!!

With Collins now ruled out...2-2

....just hope she doesn't call out the other lads name while he is doing it!

Nope he is bang out of order, as is your GF for letting him get away with it. He deserves a slap BUT that might get you into trouble. I would go with a witty retort on her FB wall....something like " she likes good looking guys (like Me) hence the only running she will be doing is away from your ugly mug *smiley face*" Not great but it should help him get the message

The 'injury' will only properly heal once he steps out onto St James' Park!

I thought he did very well last night. It was good to see a central midfielder who could play 1 touch football. Although NRC was excellent last night, I actually think J2M would play better along side Petrov. The one bit of play I liked was in the second half (before he went off) was when Wigan were applying the pressure we kept hoofing the ball long. It fell to J2M and he put his foot on the ball and passed it to Gabby and we hit them on the break.
