PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Why is jam made with oranges called marmalade and not orange jam?

No idea but ask for le mermelada in Seville and you get jam, in fact marmalade isn’t even a thing in Spain. So at a guess the British made jam from Seville oranges and used a form of the Spanish word for jam. So that’s my guess.

Is this all going to come to a sticky end?

 

[mancboy]

so seeing as we have reached the stages of asking existential questions here goes, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, how much of a **** is gary neville.

He always beat me at Subbuteo
Cause he flicked to kick
And I didn’t know

well, somebody's got to post it...

In my accountancy days a million years ago, we had a client who made a lot of money by importing overripe oranges from Spain and selling them to Robertsons, who I think were in Droylsden, for marmalade. It was so lucrative that the two partners treated themselves to new Rolls-Royces every year.

Shame you didn't ask the question then.

Robertson's jam factory was in Droylsden.

Something that I was very proud of being a Droylsden lad, especially when I moved to London in the late 80s.

I took great delight in spreading my Robertson's jam on my morning toast, knowing where it originated from.

My understanding is a draught is unwelcome whereas a breeze is welcome, hence you can get a draught excluder but I've never heard of a breeze excluder, you just shut the window.

Yeah but you don’t dislike a draught enough to shoot it.

Subbuteo players were real men back then, you wouldn't see subbuteo players carry on with an injury like that these days.

I also had the Rugby Subbuteo...which was immensely shit

Well the fact that the thread has descended into talk of jam, subbutteo and fucking draught excluders tells us all we need to know for now.

Its gonna be April isn't it.... i can't fucking cope.

 

[pudge]

Fucking hurry the fuck up

That device for scrums… garbage

 

[Stato]

Well the fact that the thread has descended into talk of jam, subbutteo and fucking draught excluders tells us all we need to know for now.

Its gonna be April isn't it.... i can't fucking cope.

But it could be tomorrow....

So like the rest of us you will be back to check

They were hard as nails. If I stepped on one I would melt its legs to the base. They just played on - even better with their new low centre of gravity. Not as great in the air though to be fair.

Feel like we're still a few weeks away yet, I remember reading when it went to the independent commission it could be Easter.

Can you stay on topic please. Unless you've got something constructive to add about Subbuteo or jam kindly fuck off.

On the contrary - do you really believe this unequivocal summary dealt with the CAS situation for most observers. Absolutely not. And, as you know, I also disagree with point 2 here re APT. It was necessarily nuanced because that was the finding of the tribunal.

10yrs to come to same conclusion .

Used to love Subbuteo as a kid with my brother. Every September a new league of roughly 12 teams which never included the Rags.
My all conquering City side (I’m older than my brother). Frank Carrodus got a brace once as a sub.
Good job I’m too old now. My subbuteo City team under threat of expulsion or a points deduction !!!!

You should get the subbuteo Lord Pannick!
Very expensive, but you never know when you might need it!!
