The ones at the end frequently say something along those lines. Great work if you can get it!

Not sure I miss them, but I'm very glad I had them.

very well put.

So evil City are paying a top lawyer £20k a day while plucky little UEFA have to rely on the Monday morning duty solicitor and legal aid.

Typical filthy oil club City inflating lawyers fees since 2008.

Since he was appointed Chief Sports News Correspondent of the Mail on Sunday, at the least, a post he held for years (don't know if he still does). I agree he comes across as an utter twat and it's fair to say I'm not a fan of his output but it's perfectly legitimate to describe him as a journalist.

As for David Pannick, he's very much a class act. At the moment, I'm training a group of Russian lawyers in my firm's dispute resolution practice to develop their skills in terms of arguing a case in spoken and written English (we have a lot of cases that go to international arbitration).

I made them watch Pannick's submission in the Gina Miller case as an example of a master at work. Probably the best in the business, according to people more familiar with the commercial bar than I.

Having to hire the best lawyer in the business does set off a few alarm bells for me. If we’re so sure of our defence, why do we need a clever lawyer to present it?

For the sake of balance, the likes of Harris and Delaney routinely refer to people on this forum as “unhinged”, “deranged”, “crazies” etc. Harris, tragically, calls it “Blue Loon”.

Ah! There’s no place like home.

I'm described as a "self-styled expert" in none other than the Financial Times this morning. You definitely get a better class of insult in the FT.

That is quite funny

Reputation might carry a lot of weight in the proceedings , and certainly sends the message that City are not leaving anything to chance ?

And our prospects depend on your interpretation of the myth, i.e., there is hope becsuse hope is still in the box, or there is no hope because hope wasn't released from the box!

It's Schroedinger's box, if you'll pardon the expression.

very well put.

As well put as Lord Justice Gage?!

Cat is in the box alive waiting to bite uefa on the arse.
