Good. I must be doing something right, then.

Don't read your own posts then. Obviously it would be unbecoming and a breach of the CoC if I labelled you a tedious, ignorant, semi-literate fucking halfwit, so I won't. But let's just say I'm not your greatest fan either.

Re: Major development / we are getting closer (merged) Not sure - it may have been denied since then, but there were a lot of reports about 2 weeks ago picking up on the initial Italian reorts of the meeting. Any denials don't seem to have been picked up on nearly as much. I was just...

I was behind the goal at the North Stand end which he scored into. I just remember the keeper desperately trying - and failing - to get back as it dropped over him and into the net. Amazing goal.

Luton. I remember because I had a mate who was a Luton fan who complained about it bitterly!

Re: Major development / we are getting closer (merged) Well, it's not JUST something we're talking about on here. Mancini to Juve has been rumoured for quite some time in the Italian press. It wouldn't be popular with the Juve fans because Mancini was the coach of the club that benefitted most...

Re: Major development / we are getting closer (merged) Best wishes to you and your wife for the birth, mate. Hope you also manage to make the final.

I need to be away on a business trip between Wednesday and Friday and was planning to stay over for the weekend to see friends. I could also have done with making some arrangements for when I move to this place permanently in a few weeks - buying stuff for the new flat and so on. But, of...

Think he counts as home-produced, as well, for the purposes of PL squad regulations, which would be an additional plus.

Thanks - it ended up being a much longer reply than when I started to compose it! That's wht being a lawyer does for you, though.

With respect, this is a highly simplistic and rather dubious analysis. It is inaccurate in a number of material respects, most notably in relation to the highlighted phrases. West Ham committed no breach of the then-current rules by taking a player on loan from so-called third party owners...

Exactly. The more I think about this, the more dismal a decision I think this is.

My first reaction when I saw it was posted above in this thread - disappointing but better than nothing. Having thought about it for half an hour or so, I now agree with fbloke. If (for whatever reason) you're not able or willing to do the coat of arms thing properly, City, then don't fucking...

Better than nothing, I suppose, but that's about all I can say. File under 'underwhelming'.

My situation is different, is not deserving of sympathy and I'm also sorry to read what fbloke has said there. However, I've also opted to miss this one. As soon as we won the semi I had a text and then an email from my mate I've known for about 30 years. When we were in our teens, I started...

Re: It had to be Stoke!!! It was the second Christmas bank holiday - we'd won at Wrexham on Boxing Day. Anyway, despite that win at the Racecourse, we went into the Stoke game in mid-table while I seem to recall that they were top (though I think they'd lost on Boxing Day). We were one down...

Spurs currently have seven games left. Let's say that they'll get a number of points from those games that we'll refer to as 'x'. Barring something very bizarre happening with goal difference, from our six games we need (x - 3) points. I'm not a mathematician, but I think that's probably the...

The last time we played in an FA Cup final: This was the current number one UK single - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPgHbt0ODr4 This woman was PM, two years into an eventual tenure of more than 11 years: Launched a month or two previously, this was the dazzling new home computing...

I'm sad to read of your loss, fbloke. Sincere condolences.

A lot of people's analysis of cause and effect on this issue is rather deficient. They believe that managerial stability brings about success. It doesn't. We could have given Alan Ball all the time in the world fully to implement his ideas and build his own team but he'd still have been a...
