  1. Nothing. What has AV to do with a corrupt political system that has seen a right wing govt returned to power for the last 30+ years - lots.
  2. £50m seems quite cheap - last year he was after £4bn per annum or 'Europe will turn black'
  3. The sixth in our long running series of Monthly Polls on the Manager. Poll open until end of May. Results since last poll: (D*)WWDL Poll FAQ Q: Can I have an option of I don't know? A: Does Gérard Houllier meet with your approval as manager these past two months? Q: I want to vote No, but I don't want him out. A: Does Gérard Houllier meet with your approval as manager these past two months? Q: The questions are different from the last poll A: Does Gérard Houllier meet with your approval as manager these past two months? Previous Poll Result *The draw against evernot was included in the last poll, but worth a mention here as it has been referred to as 'the turning point'
  4. Please give it up on Big Sam. I somewhat understand being interested in an English manager, but we shouldn't sacrifice quality for nationality. Big Sam is nothing more than mediocre, and appointing him is the best way to ensure we always finish between 7th and 12th (ha!). He's managed several different Premier League clubs and has been sacked each time. I would be more upset with us hiring him than I would be with any other imaginable appointment. Well he's managed three, and been sacked twice - both spectacularly stupid decisions which have backfired on the clubs in question and resulting in the clubs being relegated (or on their way).
  5. The government, the Treasury and Osborne most certainly are. Osborne spent several minutes of his response to questions about the 2010 Q4 figures pointing out that the 0.5% contraction was, according to the ONS, due to the bad weather. The suggestion was that this was postponed activity rather than lost activity. Therefore, it may be sensible, in this case, to look at the two quarters' figures (the one with the postponed activity and the following period where one would expect the postponed activity to take place) together. Or maybe we need to take a 4 quarter view as the excuses for Q2 are already in the bank:
  6. :-) - yes a -0.5 plus 0.5 = 0 -0.5% plus 0.5% = -0.0025
  7. Well and truly jinxed that one then, the 8 month unbeaten run comes to an end.
  8. I'd view it as being four wins away from safety. In all competitions, that's now 11 wins on the trot and unbeaten since Aug 23rd 2010.
  9. The Understudy Still Doesn't Get The Complaints Over His Driving Skills

  12. It's just going bad isn't it. The drones so beloved of the afghan and pakistani villagers are being sent in on the back of their senders saying they are more accurate. Oh the hills of waziristan will be rolling with laughter at that one, Meanwhile down the road Gadaffi merceneraries bad, saud merceneraries [see no evil][hear no evil][speak no evil]
  13. You've made 30 odd posts on the site since the thread opened. So if there is a reason, feel free to share.
  14. Well the thread has been going for over a month and it's taken GH's ill turn to give someone the excuse to complain it is disrespectful. If they really had a problem with the thread they could have posted their issues 30 days ago, but it smells like aftertiming.
  15. What? Pardon? You would kill them by your own hands, but they don't deserve a death sentence?
  16. Note to all those having an affair - ditch your iphone.
  17. And here’s what Dagong said back in November: Dagong and S&P may disagree with the Fed’s medicine (perhaps because of the side effects for certain ‘US creditors’ – i.e. China), but they clearly share some dim views of the patient.
