With Arsenal added in 2002 along with Leverkusen, Lyon and Valencia. It always touches me when someone naive comes along to remind me that "it was replaced" in 2008 by the European Clubs Aaociation. As though member clubs like Ararat Armenia and Ki Klasvik (of the Faroes) are going to carry...

It was a safety net for the G14(18) to remove any remote prospect of their not qualifying for the CL on merit. The weaker the EL the less jeopardy to any G14 club that finds itself in the shit.

Surely it has something to do with tactics. Teams study and practice all week for the opposition so will start doing that with the fittest players for each position in the hope that, barring injuries, it can be tweaked later in the game depending on how it is going. You wouldn't start with...

No. Bog standard SS lower. I also had a Cityzens card in case my son visits the UK so it may have been with that. In fact, I don't want to brag, but I have two pairs somehow.

I don't do memorabilia but can't bear to part with my lucky socks which the club sent out with season cards a few years ago (I do have both socks).

"Philosophy" and "process" have taken something of a back seat, since he went, too

One of our teachers got murdered. They made a couple of tv programmes out of it. By that time he was such a feeble old shell of the sadist I knew, I couldn't bring myself to be anything other than sympathetic.

In my time at Manchester Grammar, there were clearly male teachers that got a kick out of slippering certain boys. Being an ugly bugger, I escaped it even though my behaviour was not the best, but one good-looking blonde lad got more than his fair share even though he was well behaved.

Imagine what it's like after 10 years with the media constantly trying to denigrate our achievements at every available opportunity particularly club-affiliated mouthpieces like Neville and Carragher. In the end, you have to remember it's the rules that are wrong, not the clubs.

Ha ha!

One of life's pleasures, watching united trying to play it out from the back.

Nice

Electric atmosphere at St James !

Newcastle are no great shakes. They'll drop points, maybe even today.

I'm musing that if I had made a loan at zero interest and secured it on the club's assets, I'd be less than willing to convert the loan to unsecured shares so that, in the event of Insolvency, my investment in the club would be the last thing to get paid. As you said, Insolvency is unlikely but...

As soon as my Mrs wakes up at 6, she feeds the dog and brings me a cup of tea, God bless her. But then she climbs back into bed and starts telling me last night's dream. In every detail. It goes on nonstop for about ten minutes, after which she asks me what I think it means, to which I reply...

They ban our beef And they ban our pork Clap your hands If you went to York

Exactly. Shareholder loans would be subordinate to other liabilities. Secured debt would be...er..secured

I haven't looked but are these zero interest loans secured against club assets though ? If they are, it would, surely, make a significant difference if the.club they own goes insolvent.

Same side again. Obviously Eddie will be out injured.
