35M for all that? That seems very cheap.

Dunno an enterprising CEO could make the world of difference - what we need is someone who can grow the club, land big sponsorship deals, recruit good managers. What we have had over the past few years is what i call "bean counters" - they work within the current financial constraints and have no vision how to make the club grow. would love Graham Taylor as CEO A CEO of the calibre you speak of will know the task is impossible under the financial restrictions imposed by the owner as well as UEFA.

Anyway watch Gommorah? Looks good.

What the hell have all the CEO's at the club done for the past 8 years? Makes no difference who is employed.

Are we really that much stronger than last season with our signings? Bentake makes the difference. The longer he isn't the fitter, the higher the changes of going down.

Let's hope the three promoted teams struggle as I can't really see which other squad is worse than ours. 17th.

He stood behind some of the greatest players in the world and eventually got found out. Took them long enough. He was a good goalie to be fair, just never world class but I haven't seen a rapid decline in his abilities, he has always been a bomb scare. Looks good on the youtubes though and his trophy cabinet is second to none. Eh?! He was easily one of the best for a long time but his level has certainly dropped. A move could revitalise him, he has another 5 years in him. What happened is he stopped playing week in week out. Tough on a keeper to get thrown in to a World Cup team when only featured in cup games all season. Although they did win the Champions League and Domestic Cup to be fair to him.

You offered him out? Hope he accepted so Legov's girls mate is all mine.

In terms of thinning out the nutter population it hasn't worked at all, they are still being radicalised at home in significant numbers, picking up combat experience by the bucket load (yes first in Iraq but then in Yemen and Syria where they don't have legions of western JSOC ninjas breathing down their necks) and without doubt pose the single largest, potentially existential threat to the kingdom. You reap what you so and there is a whirlwind heading Saudi's way when the King falls of his perch. 2003-2014 was the opening act IMHO, the main event is just getting started and no country in the region will come through it untouched by the fallout. What do you mean by the last part?

And how much would terrorist acts increase? In the sums game more lives would be saved though. But we're not really talking about number of lives saved. Nobody thinks as bluntly pragmatic as that. Of course they don't. Avoiding illness and a road accident can be controlled to an extent by an indivudual. A terrorist attack could kill anyway. I have no complaints with the money spent to prevent these kind of acts. It's what creates them that makes my blood boil.

And how much would terrorist acts increase?

Terrorism kills basically nobody. More cyclists will die in London than people killed by terrorism. It's a non issue, no rational thinking person would fear it. Governments though, the love it. Use fear to encroach on civil liberties and privacy in the name of anti terrorism. It does if done correctly. Google Udham Singh and Bhagat Singh as an example of 'terrorist' acts which did a lot more for India Independence than peaceful protest extremist Hindu Gandhi ever did. Not that it did much good for India and Sikhs in general but it does show that terror did make a difference in the past.

He was crap but so were half the team. Never conceded 8 though.

I don't think he is actually that bad ability wise. He is just stupid and thinks he can score from anywhere.

Regarding Hutton it's not strange to say he looks better than Lowton at all. He always has been. He was just made a scapegoat for the terrible Mcliesh season.

I'm an architect! Of my own downfall

Hands off Rugeley I've already bagsy'd the friend.

People that have no idea how to play football but insist on playing and ruining the game.

There won't be a war but their will be individuals that look for revenge. Then we can continue to feel sorry for all the innocent victims that were killed by the evil terrorist attacks for the rest of our lives. Maybe even start a war on terror over it.

She's mine though!

I meant with the US involved. You may laugh but I don't think it's out of the realms of possibility. No offence intended but is that before or after they stop killing each other? I mean a long way down the line. Certainly not in the current state of the Arab/Muslim world. So unlikely in our lifetime?

I didn't mean on her face.

Is she also East Asian? That seems to be a thing that happens exclusive there on supposed 'dates'. A friend you say? Can I come?

No offence intended but is that before or after they stop killing each other?

Is this a line from a Victorian Romance Novel? Our Legov seems quite well spoken. What he meant to say was - I bin so f'in busy at work I forgot all bout the bitch! Btw only joking Legov, you're darling isn't really a bitch
