  1. Until La Liga decide they can't afford to have a average Barcelona side and change the rules again.
  2. Once we get Buendia and Bailey fully fit and integrated into the matchday squad, we will be different gravy.
  3. Disappointing but 1 win and 2 narrow defeats at Chelsea, United and Spurs away is promising. I don't think we have hit top gear yet but are still competitive bar Watford, in all of our games played. Not entirely sure if Ings and Watkins will work long term though.
  4. Biddelly,Biddelly,Biddelly,Biddelly,Biddelly,Biddelly,Bong,Yo
  5. A routine win versus a bunch of part timers, and a win versus the racist lot. I am more annoyed next year when the entire season is going to be paused for the world cup to be played in that cesspool of a country that is Qatar. I will probably go off and watch some non league football for 3 weeks.
  6. I always find it quite ironic that the good old us of a which is probably the most capitalistic country in the world, actually has a fairer distribution of income of most of their sports. I may be wrong but I believe quite a lot of the sports over there have salary caps and shared distribution of television incomes. Plus the draft system is designed, at least in theory, to favour the worst teams in picking the best young players from the college systems. You still have the big cities having the biggest teams with the largest budgets but the winners of the sport are more evenly distributed. Look at the Packers they are from a tiny place in Wisconsin. I know you can't compare as its a franchise system with no promotion and relegation etc but always think its interesting.
  7. The best bit of live and let die is the reggae interlude by Linda. Equality street.
  8. Can I say happy birthday to Jimmy Carter who is 97 years young today.
  9. As a child of the 80s has to be Williams. But all great. Shows how important music is to a film or tv show, get it wrong and it ruins it.
  10. Tough result for Celtic last night but doesn't help when you have Lennon slagging off the manager. Not very classy.
  11. He must feel more at home here than at United. If stays fit then I would seriously consider a offer for him at the end of the season. He is not going to play at United, they are just protecting their asset with the new contract.
  12. All Time High Rita Coolidge Die another Day by Madge was awful
  13. I would recommend in buying McIlvanney on football. Genius writing. He also did ones on boxing and horse racing. First sports journalist to win journalist of the year when writing for papers actually mattered. There is also on youtube his documentary on Busby, Shankly, and Stein which is a great watch. His brother was a writer so ran in the family. I wonder what the great man would have thought of Jack going to Man City.
  14. Lets face it their might be a place open for him in the medium to long term if Kane''s decline continues.
  15. Shame rather he wasn't in the squad. If he becomes a regular for England then Southgate will demand if has to go to a top 6 club. Yes I am bitter and twisted.
  16. Great fighter never ducked a challenge. In regards to Joshua if he loses the rematch I can't see a way back for him at the elite level which might make him pack up and do strictly or something like that. His value would drop massively.
  17. Think its just us and Scotland. France have, or will be scrapping it. St Johnstone winning both domestic cups is an incredible achievement last season, shame no fans could watch either final live.
  18. Ah yes the unwritten rules. I think for all sports you should play hard but play fair.
  19. Saunders-Barton Stand instead of Doug Ellis.
  20. It was a signing to placate the fans over years of mis management under the Glazers post Fergie. Bread and circuses come to mind.
  21. Wolves should never be Cat A. That should be for the big boys plus Blues if we are ever in the same division with them again.
