I don’t understand; its official because two people who as far as I know not connected to the club say so? Its been known for a long time unofficially that Randy would sell, so I am not sure whats new?

Old Oak (aka Wormwood Scrubs) is going to get an international railway station if HS2 goes through, so none of this is surprising. But will it happen? Remember Pompey’s Herzog & De Meuron’s new stadium???

I wouldn’t have a problem with it. Thats if we sign an entire new squad to supply him

Which was the last season Carew did it?

Gabby did it three seasons in a row.

Lower wages, so we can sign more players who can then a)under perform b)become scapegoats?

Sheffield Wednesday?

A man who genuinely loved sport, and was an utter professional.

She’s Danish?

Snow Hill as it was

The government does that quite a lot, or rather the civil service does. Certain departments I guess it makes sense to be in London as the capital (foreign office in Leeds, no I don’t think so). But underlying it all is that if the economy is focussed on the financial sector then London is going to be more and more dominant.

Cable talks some sense, whilst trying to avoid another runway on his patch

Some great photos of the old BNS

Certainly not a folk hero for railway people

To be fair he’s not the only one on VT like that...

Going through everything buy the Velvet Underground.

He was decent?? He was excellent for us, don’t let whats happened cloud our judgements.

Not why we would go for him, more how could we go for him? On our limited budget, etc. Ferguson isn’t working as well. He came out of retirement before, so he’s available as well...

Can someone explain what the real world is?

When people say the greatest and define it with a single person its time to look at history a bit more.

Can’t complain about BA; upgraded both ways flying to Bangkok...

Not in the country, but in Europe. And its also said that Hitler destroyed only a tiny part of the medieval city compared to what post war councils did in the name of progress. Apart from that Coventry (and most of the West Midlands) problem is that it went from being a rich progressive part of the country to economic decline where civic pride seem to go out the window...

This is just rewriting history, Cahill was a raw youth in 2006/7 and certainly not good enough to hold down a regular place in a premier league team that was trying to challenge for top 4. He had been brought into the first team too early due to the failure of the previous chairman to provide adequate funds for transfers and quite understandably wanted to go on playing at that level. He had run out of short term loan opportunities and selling him to Bolton was a good way of helping him get what he wanted - he went to a lesser side whose main concern was avoiding relegation and he was able to learn his trade there. He was pretty inconsistent in his first seasons with Bolton. In my view he is actually still inconsistent and his game has flaws but with the experience he has gained, and surrounded by a starry Chelsea side costing billions of pounds, it doesn't show up so much. Oh, and £5m was a pretty good price for him considering the stage of his development. Not all youth team players get to flourish at the club the were apprenticed to. No it isn't rewriting of history, it was a stupid idea then, only made worse by the passage of time. O'Neill inherited a defence that had Laursen, Mellberg and Cahill as central defenders. He then spent over £20m on Curtis Davies, Carlos Cuellar and Zat Knight. Yes that's right kids, Curtis Davies, Zat Knight, and Carlos Cuellar. Cahill may have been a raw youth, but he was already better than Curtis Davies, and much, much better than Zat Knight. O'Neill also pissed Mellberg off by playing him at right back. So as well as pissing off one of our best ever servants, he let our most promising young defender in years go, while spending a fortune on some absolute donkeys, who he then had to replace wholesale 12 months later due to the utter ineptitute they displayed. And that's without mentioning Nicky Shorey and paying massively over the odds for Luke Young. When it came to defenders, O'Neill was an absolute fool. I am really annoyed at this rewriting of history by Risso. MON inherited a central defence of OM, ML, GC and Liam Ridgwell; how could he forget him...

You like pop music then you will like them. You hate pop music then you will probably hate them. Think they were pop geniuses and that doesn’t mean I like them. Also the whole story of Abba is pop babylon...

No one can remember because they have been effective at doing it All political parties now face the same problem of the impossibility of burying the past and its a massive problem for them. Even major scandals/change of policies, etc in the old days had a way of dying a death. Maybe in the future they will be wiser about things and not make promises they can’t keep, and not get into bed with the wrong bedfellows. I think though its the conservative party doing it, not the state itself, which would be something even more sinister...
